    4th of July

    Nothing fancy for July 4th. Mrs. C pan-fried Alaskan rockfish and made a Tartar-like sauce. I gussied up stovetop beans with chorizo, onion, garlic, mustard, BBQ sauce, etc. Bourbon barrel pickles to go with.

    Keema matar, made with ground lamb, onion, garlic, and chiles, tomato and yogurt, and spiced with cumin, coriander, cayenne, and garam masala, finished with lemon juice and peas. Would have added cilantro if we had any. Basmati rice, with cloves, cinnamon, green cardamom, bay leaf, garlic, and chicken stock, topped with onion greens.

    Dinner 2025

    Seared scallops with mushrooms and mashed sweet potato: Mash boiled sweet potatoes with butter and heavy cream. Sear mushrooms in ghee with a sprig of rosemary and remove. Sear scallops in butter with rosemary and remove. Deglaze the wok with Shaoxing wine, add heavy cream, and reduce. Season with S&P. This was the "last meal" for our house guest. She had the choice of this or keema. I think she chose well (even though I love keema).

    Lunch 2025

    I made chayote al vapor for a potluck yesterday. Simple and delicious, just chayote, serrano chile, salt, and cilantro. To make a more substantial (and spicy!) lunch from the leftovers I sauteed white onion, chorizo, and pickled jalapenos, tossed in the chayote, and finished with feta cheese, fish sauce, and Mexican oregano.

    Breakfast 2025

    Spicy soft-scrambled eggs with onion, garlic, chile serrano, pickled jalapeno, tomato paste, and feta cheese. Served with toasted rye bread. Egg and tomato tastes good but rarely looks appealing.

    Lunch 2025

    Sometimes it is fun to start with what's in the refrigerator and improvise an Indian-ish curry. This one started with a wet spice paste of ginger, garlic, and red and green chiles, pureed with chicken stock and fried in ghee. Added dried fenugreek leaves, turmeric, and every ground dry spice beginning with the letter "C" (canela, cardamom, cumin, coriander, cloves, and cayenne). Seemed a little thick so I added coconut cream with chopped fresh spinach. Finished with cubed zucchini and feta cheese.

    Dinner 2025

    Shrimp and zucchini al mojo de ajo: Saute garlic and onion, blend with chicken stock. Sear shrimp in the garlicky oil and remove. Sear zucchini, add cilantro, Mexican oregano, and the garlic puree, and cook down. Add shrimp and leftover walleye, finish with lime juice, and serve over leftover green rice. Pretty tasty for a night when neither of us had planned a meal.

    Hope you like the rice, @YvetteMT First time making bulgogi. Marinated thinly-sliced NY strip steak with soy sauce, honey, toasted sesame oil, black pepper, and blended Asian pear, garlic, ginger, and onion. Grilled over charcoal, and served in lettuce leaves with soybean paste dipping sauce (fermented soybean paste [doenjang], gochujang, garlic, scallion, honey, toasted sesame oil, and toasted sesame seeds). Spicy cucumber salad on the side, with garlic, scallion, thinly-sliced onion, soy sauce, hot chile flakes, honey, sesame oil, and sesame seeds. Quite nice.

    Yes, char on the gas burner, wrap in a kitchen towel to steam, and the skin rubs off pretty easily.
