Lovely!

Thanks, the crust on the fish was fabulous. A few months back I changed my technique for sauteeing fish. No dusting of Wondra flour, (an Eric Ripert trick), no non-stick or cast iron pans, (only a stainless pan), only salt and pepper, (no more Cajun seasoning), and a mix of olive oil and clarified butter. It has to be clarified butter. Then basting the fish with the butter/oil throughout sauteeing and roasting. Incredible.

Hot pan, oil, dry fish salt and pepper. Whole butter at end to help bast and add flavor.

Today, I killed a chicken.

The bones are simmered in beef consommé for one and a half hours in a low oven. This is then strained, added to a blonde roux, and simmered with truffle juice and preserved lemon until reduced to a syrup. The sauce is finished with whipped cream and a compound butter of foie gras.

Foie gras is poached for 20 minutes in Chambertin wine, chilled, sliced, and then stuffed into a pocket made between the meat and skin of each chicken breast. The chicken is cooked on the bone, sous vide for one and a half hours with more truffle juice, preserved lemon and beef consommé.

Turnips are trimmed, hollowed and cooked, first in boiling water to remove bitterness, then finished in steam.

They are stuffed with a mixture of girolles, swiss chard and smoked bacon.

Some more girolles are cooked á la créme and served with the final dish.

Where do you source all your ingredients from? You always seem to have great stuff!

Just up the road from me a couple is raising chickens for meat. They don't bring them to market, but I knew they had them since I was on their property a few times over the summer when they were growing tomatoes. I asked if I could slaughter and dress one, and they were happy to allow me to do so. I just watched him with one first, and followed his lead; it was a fairly quick and clean process. A nice bird, too: yellow skinned, good fat, a bit young ~8 weeks or so, fully dressed at 3 pounds (feet on). I'm told they are a French hybrid of sorts, but not sure of exact breed. It had a distinct taste, and was better than anything I've bought. However, I am not sure I would want to go through that process every time I feel like eating chicken.

[mm84321]

Oh, the turnips are from a local farm, and the girolles I found at Whole Foods, believe it or not.

[Kim Shook]

David – those meatballs are just beautiful. I’m like you: if the meatballs are REALLY good, I don’t even need pasta. Just good bread to wrap them up in and soak up the gravy! The salt cod and sea bass looked delicious, too.

Christine – good looking pizza. I was going to make one for Halloween night, like I sometimes do but it got by me this year. Now, I wish I’d made the effort.

mm – I admire your chicken-dispatching prowess, because I know that I couldn’t do it. I’m very clear that when I indulge in meat, I’m eating ANIMALS and I try to appreciate that someone has to do the hard work. You wouldn’t want to do it all the time, you said, but good for you for being willing to do it at all.

Night before last dinner was dull:

But very satisfying.

Last night my MIL came over for dinner. I did BBQ meatloaf sandwiches:

Garlic-cheese bread, grilled meatloaf, slaw and onion rings. The only scratch stuff was the meatloaf and the slaw. Served with sour cream mashed potatoes and green beans:

Dessert was pumpkin-cream cheese ribbon bread:

[rotuts]

KS: That dinner didnt look dull to me! I notices the 'char' on the dog. Yum!

[christine007]

Thanks Kim! I finally got a camera and I'm looking forward to more photo adventures.

I don't find you food dull at all, the opposite actually, you cook real food and you always put imagination and love into it, and it shows. The potatos look amazing, I'm doing something along those lines for Thanksgiving.

[robirdstx]

Kim - your ribbon bread is smiling - love it!

[christine007]

Tonight, I did a stuffed acorn squash, the filling was sage sausage, fresh picked apples and sweet onion, with a touch of maple syrup.

Our side was a rice dish with chicken broth and a white sauce mixed together. It came out nice and creamy!

First oysters of the fall. Cool weather and fat, salty oysters.

Dinner tonight:

Pan-Seared Magret Duck Breast

with Duck Fat Fried Potatoes and Sliced Tomato and Cucumber

[rarerollingobject]

Howdy all, it's been awhile..not posting much lately, but still lurking for your food. robirdstx, that duck breast is stunning!

Kim Shook, you should know that your dinner with meatloaf got me curious to try making it (which would have been a first for me), and thinking about solid walls of meat then morphed into a hankering to try making Scotch eggs, and here we are.

I always think Scotch eggs with hen eggs are too big and unwieldy, so I got me some quail eggs, boiled them until just soft, and had at it.

Hen eggs = too big, but quail eggs = life may be too short to peel a dozen of them. Delicious tho, topped with smoked salt and hot mustard.

[Keith_W]

Gorgeous scotch egg there, RRO! Is it from Heston at Home?
