I made it into a pizza, too. Coincidentally posted exactly 5 years ago today over here. I think peaches & pork get along quite well!

I like fruit in savory dishes and thought it was quite good though I wouldn’t recommend eating anything that causes itching. The shiitake powder in the mushroom dredge gives the crunchy coating an umami boost and the peaches are very much a spicy pickle element so the combo worked well. The country ham-wrapped and roasted peaches from Deep Run Roots is another savory recipe I like that includes peaches and you should probably avoid. This is an old photo, but peach wedges get wrapped in thin slices of smoked country ham (I subbed prosciutto) and roasted. They're served on gingered goat cheese (goat cheese, buttermilk & grated, fresh ginger) with a drizzle of balsamic honey and a sprinkle of spiced pecans. I should make this again while peaches are in season.

Another curious sandwich from A Super Upsetting Book about Sandwiches. This is the Suzanne Sugarbaker made with chicken-fried mushrooms, peach muchim and mayo. The flour dredge for the mushrooms is seasoned with powdered shiitake mushrooms, salt and lots of black pepper. The recipe uses maitake mushrooms but says any can be used so I went with king oysters. The peaches get their pickle-y punch from a muchim brine with garlic, ginger, shallot, scallion, red chile flakes, salt, sesame oil and white vinegar. They were ready in the time it took me to faff about with the mushrooms.

I dunno, but @JoNorvelleWalker seems to keep similar hours. Perhaps she has insights.

This sounds like the opening line of an entertaining story: OK, I’ll bite. What happened in 1958 that caused you to quit Fritos?

I agree. @pazzaglia has a bunch of risotto recipes on her site and this one for an asparagus risotto that uses a quick stock made from the asparagus trimmings really won me over. I sometimes add shrimp to that one, too.

A few recent breakfasts. Peanut butter & banana on toast with hot honey drizzle. Used to eat this everyday when I was a kid, without the honey. Kimchi dog - I was in a mood! The ALF sandwich from A Super Upsetting Book about Sandwiches Roasted asparagus topped with a drizzle of roasted tomato mayo (tomato, onion, garlic and jalapeño, roasted and blended into mayo) and a sprinkle of fried garlic on a split-top bun toasted in butter with a squeeze of lime juice.

I’m sure @liuzhou is saving the best for last!

Maybe the photos are AI generated!

The title pretty much says it all. Kitchen Curious, a new Vivian Howard TV series is set to start airing on PBS beginning 6 Oct 2025 Here's a link: https://www.kitchencurioustv.com

I posted about the dry farmed Early Girls in this topic on Aug 1. I usually stick to farmers market tomatoes at this time of year but I didn’t get enough and picked up a package to fill in. Not as good as home grown but a solid option. My TJ's has been carrying them for several years now but only for a brief period each summer.

What??? No nuclear weapons?

Any chance you can link to a photo that shows the Asian blade? I’m curious what it looks like an how it’s used. My paring knife went missing so I bought this cheapie Victorinox paring knife (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) It scared my old one out of hiding but it’s been handy to have a spare.
