Carrot rice? How is that made, please?

Where on earth do you come up with these combinations! Very unusual but delicious looking.

Brilliant. We have those little beauties regularly at our grocery store. Do you bake them in a hot oven?

On the bright side, at least it wasn't your Sake!

Made another 2 litre batch but this time we incubated the cream for 18 hours rather than 12. It was made with different cream and my sous vide rig stayed at 78 rather than 75F for the incubation. We tasted this batch against my first batch and no real difference for the extra time in the bath. Delicious.

Welcome. You live in a beautiful area of Quebec and Canada! Do you buy local meats like chickens, lambs, ducks? how are your farmers markets?

Excellent, thank you so much. I made the bbq sauce from Ferran Andria Family meals. It is a bit sweet but he has you grate some orange zest over the cooked ribs.

Fauxpas, how do you do your ribs? I have two racks to cook for tomorrow. They are the Chilean back ribs. I was thinking about meat/stew setting at high pressure for 15 min, slow release cooked with some liquid then brushed with bbq sauce, in the oven at 400 for about 6 to 10 minutes. ?? thanks

Nice that you volunteer your efforts!

We were talking about butter tonight at our Friday Pub Night visit. You pay around $6.00 for a pound of premium high quality Canadian produced butter. It is tasteless compared to my cultured butter. $10 versus $6 . Hum I think I will be making more. Sure not for baking but I will switch to cheaper Canadian butter for that.

Yeah, lenlighten us to NZ grub!

Yeah, thanks everyone. The broccoli was a bad idea. The pressure cooker is quite powerful. I think the microwave idea is probably the easiest rather than getting a big pot out for blanching. Vegetables in the IP are certainly challenging me. Except for potatoes. When I cooked my whole beets, they were over done too without much texture.

I wondered. So I was just reading a recipe where one stuffs chicken legs and wrap in bacon then grill on a wood plank. Do you have the planks in Australia? Maybe stuff the chicken thighs with a mix of sautéed grated zucchini , spinach, sun dried tomatoes and probably some cheese like mozzarella. Then wrap in the bacon and grill on the plank. If no plank, then indirect heat on the bbq. cheese sauce and the cauliflower, only way to eat it save for roasting but you are already BBQ isn't so too much dry heat foods. Something green to go with if you have that. saving the mussels for another day.

Oh, thank goodness I am not the only one! anyone else?

I don't know what it is about this year but our tomatoes are not as flavourful as usual and the skin is tough, even the little cherry tomatoes are nasty. I cut cut back significantly this year so most of the harvest is done save for green beans, cucs and winter squash. Fine with me.

Thanks Alex, I totally missed that post. Everything is very active tonight....oh, and a glass of wine

Pizza and a calzone?

I HATE Tim Horton. call me unCanadian their coffee is flavourless and I find most of their food to be of low quality and salty. there, I said it!

It isn't hard to make. Just sourcing the culture would the work but in th US I doubt you would have trouble finding a source. it is so good I am thinking of drizzling some melted butter on my oven baked Fritts.

Yes, I was thinking about lettuce wraps too but combining the two meats is a wonderful idea

Yeah. 2/3 for Don and 1/3 for Susan!

So you are saying two rib racks is too much for one pot? My friend apparently cooked two racks at once but maybe they were back ribs. Are we talking side or back ribs?

Goodness Egulleters can cook! great looking meals everyone. Interesting combos.

No, his wife likes ribs too.

Really. Is it on high temperature and high pressure? I like my broccoli with some firmness.Ok I will try again after your reply. Thanks for helping. ps, I was just over at a friend demoing the insta pot. They heard about how great the pot is for ribs and that was all it took for the male in the family to think maybe he needs one. I felt like a travelling vacuum cleaner salesperson.
