Started out making mushroom tacos in Poblano cream sauce but remembered I had leftover rice so I made . . . this. 🙄 Fried rice with mushrooms, white onion, jalapeno and roasted Poblano chiles, fish sauce, and an egg. Non-traditional but yummy.

Made beef larb so I am bumping this thread. Hmm, no one has larbed since August?

Beef larb with lime juice, fish sauce, shallots, chiles, garlic, ginger, roasted rice powder, mint, cilantro, and scallions, sprinkled with cayenne. Served over Romaine lettuce and Thai basil. Jasmine rice to go with. I love larb.

Bean sprout lamb with garlic, chiles, fish sauce, white pepper, sugar, and scallions. Coconut rice with curry leaves and chicken stock, topped with fried shallots..

Green curry shrimp with spinach, lime leaves, chicken stock, coconut milk, and coconut cream. I used green curry paste from a tub, freshened up with a puree of green chiles, shallot, garlic, ginger, and lemongrass. Final flavor adjustments with fish sauce and palm sugar. Shrimp were poached in the sauce. Cucumber salad with rice vinegar, lemon, palm sugar, shallots, and sliced chiles. House was bereft of cilantro, sadly.

Swiss chard would have been fun. I haven't cooked that in too long, thanks for the suggestion! Poor writing on my part - buttered peas were separate from the kimchee. You never know, though - buttered kimchee might be weirdly good? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Spinach and chorizo with onion, chiles, garlic, tomato paste, fresh basil, thyme, and feta. Hit the spot. After a few days on the road I was craving green things. Last night's dinner was kimchee and buttered microwave peas. 🙄

I will be there in a minute . . . 😃 I wonder if Atlantic and Pacific black cod are the same species - we had some delicious and delicate black cod in the PNW. Bunch of green things to use up so we had a Very Green Dinner. Long beans with chorizo, tomato, onion, garlic, jalapeno, basil, and cilantro. Broccoli with butter and Parmesan cheese

Mushroom and chorizo tacos with white onion, jalapeno, garlic, feta, and cilantro

Thanks for doing this, Shelby! I was in your general part of the world last week and can confirm that it was quite warm out. 🙄

After a week of road food I was craving something green, so . . . Savoy cabbage with fennel, fenugreek, and cumin seeds, plus garlic, onion, jalapenos, ginger, tomato paste, and fish sauce. Finished with feta, lemon juice, and a fried egg. Nice to be home!

Just counted - I have 89.5 cookbooks. Half of my old paperback 'Joy of Cooking' is nowhere to be found.

Chicken thighs with Sichuan peppercorns, dried chiles, chile bean paste, Shaoxing wine, dark soy sauce, ginger, minced onion (sub for scallions), chicken stock, and sesame oil. Stir-fried green beans with roasted Poblano chiles, fermented black beans, sliced garlic, chicken stock, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Everything turned out well, family approved, no leftovers. 😃

Shrimp in chile pasilla sauce with roasted garlic, cumin, and Mexican oregano. Green rice to go with.

Even less of a looker, but also hit the spot. Spinach, shrimp, eggs, and half-and-half, flavored with onion, garlic, jalapenos, cilantro, thyme, and Mexican oregano. Feta cheese at the end. Originally intended as taco filling but I liked it as is.

Mushroom tacos with kielbasa and guacamole. Confirmed that the current batch of jalapenos are extra-zippy.

Had friends over for dinner. Mrs. C steamed Dungeness crab with melted butter to dip (not pictured), and salmon-stuffed crescent rolls. Neighbors brought Olivier salad. I made the cabbage, grilled slipper kebabs (waaaay more chilie hot than intended), and cucumber and seared ginger raita (also waaaay more chllie hot than intended). Must have been a particularly potent batch of jalapenos - I even seeded them.

Welcome! Can you recommend any good dog-friendly restaurants, breweries, etc.?

Leftover broccoli reheated with Parmesan and sauteed garlic. Omelet with feta.

Speaking of canned coconut milk . . . Green curry steelhead. I used curry paste from a tub, enhanced with whatever we had on hand - minced jalapenos, ginger, garlic, lime zest, chicken stock, palm sugar, fish sauce, lime juice, and bay leaves. Mrs. C made broccoli with lime, sesame oil, and sesame seeds, which mixed in with the curry nicely. I topped mine with sliced jalapenos and a squeeze of lime. Rest of the family did not.

Breakfast tacos with roasted chile Poblano, onion, sliced jalapeno, half-and-half, lime, thyme, and Mexican oregano, topped with not-quite-ripe avocado.

Shrimp with leftover chipotle paste. Roasted chile Poblano strips with onion, garlic, thyme, Mexican oregano, and cooked-down half-and-half. Squeeze of lime. I will make that combination again.

Simba or Scar? (we recently saw Lion King at the Kennedy Center) 😆 Yes, tasty. Mrs. C mixed the steelhead with younger son's garlic-butter-lemon sauce before filling the crescent rolls, so the fish had a nice flavor.

This was a true family meal - I made Brussels sprouts with a mustard cream sauce, Mrs. C filled the crescent rolls with steelhead, and younger (adult) son made a garlic-butter-lemon sauce for the fish. Mrs. C had ordered skull molds for a glass project but they were too deep, hence repurposing for kitchen duties.

Braised Brussels sprouts with cream is pretty delicious. That's what we are having tonight.
