Shrimp with roasted chile paste, garlic, fish sauce, and cilantro. Broccoli with oyster sauce, garlic, fish sauce, and white pepper. Jasmine rice. Quick and tasty because we wanted to walk downtown this evening. Carrot cake cupcake and free Flying Dog IPA.

Welcome! Always happy to hear from another person who enjoys cooking Indian food.

Oven-roasted chicken thighs, marinated overnight with soy sauce, fish sauce, garlic, black pepper, sugar, and oil. Mrs. C repurposed broiled cabbage leftovers into a tasty stir fry. Jasmine rice to go with. Dipping sauce of lime, lemon, rice vinegar, sugar, fish sauce, sliced chiles, garlic, ginger, and cilantro (unpictured). Made everything better.

Thank you! Yes, eggs. I use "breakfast tacos" as shorthand for a mix of eggs and other stuff.

Roasted Poblano and green bean breakfast tacos with white onion, jalapeno, garlic, cilantro, Mexican oregano, feta, and cream.

Mrs. C made a ridiculously delicious peach crisp with jarred peaches from a local orchard.

Shrimp, sausage, and spinach in a tomato-cream sauce, with onion, garlic, ginger, chiles, curry leaves, cumin, cayenne, cilantro, lime juice, and garam masala. Turmeric rice with peas, seasoned with garlic, ginger, cinnamon stick, cloves, black coriander, bay leaf, and chives. I was out of garam masala so I made a batch with cardamom seed, cinnamon stick, cloves, nutmeg, black cumin (kala jeera), and black peppercorns. Different than store-bought but very aromatic.

Turkey keema with onion, garlic, ginger, chiles, curry leaves, and turmeric, finished with garam masala, lemon juice, and cilantro. Mrs. C made a stir-fry with Napa cabbage, red onion, bacon, and garlic. Microwave rice to go with.

Eggplant curry in coconut milk with sliced shallots, garlic, and jalapeno. Fennel seed, cumin, coriander, cayenne, turmeric, and a cinnamon stick for spices. Recipe from 'Cradle of Flavor'. One of my favorites but Mrs. C does not like the texture of cooked eggplant. Hence, lunch for one.

Had some red chard, green beans, and mystery freezer sausage that needed using up. Added sliced onion, garlic, jalapeno, and roasted Poblano chiles, seasoned with cumin, black pepper, cayenne, and Mexican oregano, and then simmered in cream until done. Must have been turkey sausage because it barely rendered any fat. Anyway, turned out well.

Mrs. C made dinner last night: Pistachio encrusted red trout with fresh dill and a wine-butter sauce, baked sweet potato, and roasted green beans with wine, sesame, and probably garlic. Forgot to take a pic so this morning's leftovers will have to suffice. She had a similar fish meal in Malta and wanted to re-create. No complaints here. 😋

Baked chipotle chicken with spinach and Mexican crema. The chile paste included fried moritas, garlic, and brown sugar. No leftovers. Green rice with blended Poblano chiles, cilantro, mint, Thai basil, and the last of the homemade chicken stock.

Thanks for posting that link, for several reasons. Austin used to post here, and he was very helpful when I first started cooking Thai food. I still make his beef Panang recipe from time to time. Hmm, I should try to find that . . . I have made what 'Hot, Sour, Salty, Sweet' describes as a Shan style laab. Good stuff, but other than no souring agent rather different from the link you posted. I have not tried David Thompson's 'Chiang Mai-style larp of pork', which looks similar to the Pok Pok recipe. I might have to try that next time I have access to the ingredients and time on my hands. 😋 Also, I was not aware of the Pok Pok cookbooks so I will be checking them out for sure. Random observation: "Pok pok" would be a better onomatopoeia than "laab" for the sound of cleaver hitting cutting board.

Turkey keema with peas, heirloom tomatoes, onion-garlic-chiles, cayenne-cumin-coriander-turmeric, yogurt, curry leaves, lemon juice, garam masala, and cilantro. Green chutney with mint leaves, cilantro, lemon juice, and yogurt. Microwave rice. Welcome home meal for Mrs. C and her sister.

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!
