I, too, have been stuck in a monotony of blah foods except tonight. I made Chicken Adobo with Garlic Fried Rice.

In my family, we always serve tomato slices on the side. The tomatoes are either sprinkled with salt or marinated in fish sauce as a tangy, fresh side dish. I add cucumbers (inspired by C. Sapidus and his eternal cukes).

In search of comfort food I made Steak au Povire, green beans in lemon butter and All Crust Potato gratin from Happy in the Kitchen:

Practice. Do it over. Get it right.

Mostly, I want people to be as happy eating my food as I am cooking it.

Marlene, that steak is making me hungry. Here are a couple from the past couple of weeks.

Felt like some good soup, so we made a sausage tortellini soup:

As a tribute to Megan and someone else, who I apologize I forgot who did it, please don't hate me. :raz: I made braised garlic, balsamic with spaghetti...very good, next time I'll add tons more garlic.

Lastly, an asian chicken salad, that is one of my favorites:

Doddie: Mmm, tomatoes and fish sauce – yum! The chicken adobo looks good, too. Beware the power of the humble cucumber . . .

I'm trying to get caught up on all the wonderful meals. I would be happy with everything pictured.

Marlene I love how generous you were with the peppercorns. Perfectly cooked too. I love steak au Povire.

Bruce Everything you cook makes my mouth water.

Lucylou I love soups and your tortellini soup looks rich and delicious.

And Judith Your quail and white beans looks so good.

Nishla I'm adding your Mapo Tofu to the short list of recipes that I want to try soon. Thanks to Hzrt8w's Chinese Pictorials, I've been getting interested in making a few Chinese dishes.

Here are a few of the dinners we have had in the last week:

Chicken Souvlaki

Your steak looks delicious!

I was craving beef, and made some club steaks topped with a little butter, and some parmesan and truffle-salt potato puree.

gallery_11181_3830_65629.jpg

I thought of making it au poivre, and then didn't, and I was sorry as soon as I saw your photo. These steaks were natural Angus beef, and they were completely and totally tasteless.

Overheard at the Zabar’s prepared food counter in the 1970’s:

Woman (noticing a large bowl of cut fruit): “How much is the fruit salad?”

Counterman: “Three-ninety-eight a pound.”

Woman (incredulous, and loud): “THREE-NINETY EIGHT A POUND ????”

Counterman: “Who’s going to sit and cut fruit all day, lady… YOU?”

I fixed Pork Bistek for us tonight. "Bistek" is a Filipino corruption of "beefsteak", the cooking method where meat (usually beef) is marinated in soy sauce, kalamansi juice, minced garlic and pepper. When the meat is simmering in the marinade, onion ring slices are added on top of the meat.

gallery_48583_4079_30601.jpg

To serve this, you either serve it with freshly cooked rice or sliced thinly and served over lettuce in a bun, topped with the sauce and thinly sliced onions.

Wow, I think this is one the "meatiest" selections we have had in a long, long time.

I'm being drawn to Ann's 'Chicken Souvlaki' and Chryz's 'Chili' as favourites but everything looks so good, all charred and juicy-licious.

Please take a quick look at my stuff.

My meals have not been nearly as delicious looking as the latest one's here. But here goes.

On thursday we had a frittata with artichokes, bacon and chicken.

And last night we had Home Style Bean Curd from Fuchsia Dunlop's new book; Revolutionary Chinese Cookbook: Recipes from Hunan Province. I just got this book and I love it already. The dish doesn't look like much, but the taste was fabulous.

Laurel, I don't really follow a recipe. I do the same thing using Lamb Shoulder and lamb shanks. Just brown the meat, and then season with lots of garlic, lemon zest, oregano, olive oil and fresh squeezed lemon, salt and pepper and a little chicken broth. Cover and cook in the oven at about 350 to 375°F until the meat is almost tender and add some potatoes and continue cooking until the potatoes are done. I usually squeeze a little more lemon over it before serving.

Ann, I missed your gorgeous pictures! Good to see you back on the thread!

Thanks Klary.

I cooked, I cooked!!! Well, just a little - and with a lot of help from Mr. Kim. I had carpal tunnel surgery 1/29 and got the soft cast off a couple of days ago. Very sore and achy, but I couldn't wait to get back in the kitchen. You guys have had me DROOLING for the past couple of weeks and I am so glad to have been able to put dinner on the table tonight - such as it was...

Kim I didn't know about your surgery. I'm glad you are able to get back into the kitchen.

Domestic Goddess Beautiful big roast of beef. If you have any leftovers they would make for a nice hot roast beef sandwich smothered in gravy.

I grilled a nice 1 1/2 pound rib eye steak last night and we shared it with mashed potatoes, mushrooms and spinach.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE grilled pastrami and swiss with cole slaw....I do prefer my fries with gravy though

The great thing about barbeque is that when you get hungry 3 hours later....you can lick your fingers

Last night I threw caution (and cholesterol-consciousness) to the wind, and made grilled veal rib chops with a brandy/cremini mushroom cream sauce. On the side were string beans (in a string bean-reduction glaze with lemon zest), and potato pancakes. I took extreme care in plating it and composing the photo. Then the memory card in the camera malfunctioned, and I have none of the photos. :sad: But as no humans were harmed in the incident, I'll survive. I had wanted to have photos one dish with sauces from this year, though. Oh well, the memory will have to do me.

Lately I've been exploring the world of pizza. Tonight was a very thin-crust pie w/ sweet italian sausage:

gallery_18540_4077_78966.jpg

A few weeks ago, it was a deep dish, with sausage and pepperoni. I've observed deep dish pizzas being made on numerous occasions, but this was my first attempt at it, and it it turned out nearly perfect, much to my suprise:

gallery_18540_4077_264010.jpg

For the deep dish, I used this recipe from pizzamaking.com, and it was wonderfull... it was exactly what I was expecting: http://www.pizzamaking.com/dkm_chicago.php
