^{Patrick – funny man!}

^{judiu – thank you, ma’am! Jessica has decided to do Thanksgiving and I’m in a bit of a holding pattern for Christmas right now. Mr. Kim is having shoulder surgery tomorrow, so we’ll see what we are capable of when the time comes. I’m sure we’ll both be in good shape by then, but there is so much pre-holiday cooking and prep that needs doing. Not sure how cooky and candy making will work into our various injuries!}

^{Shelby – Happy Birthday. Everything looks scrumptious! Did you do the foie yourself?}

^{Ann – of all the exotic and delicious looking meals on this thread, the one that draws me again and again and makes me wish for the energy to cook is your prime rib dinner. That gorgeous meat, the creamy potatoes and those high, crusty Yorkies! Fantastic.}

^{Bruce – that stroganoff looks perfect. One of our favorites and I love trying new versions. I’ll have to give that one a try.}

^{Leslie – I, too, am gnocchi-challenged. I’ve never had any luck with traditional recipes. At home, I always just make Jacques Pépin’s Gnocchi Parisienne. When I want traditional, I eat out .}

^{Dcarch – love the caramelization of the squash!}

^{I’m eating vicariously here. Having problems with a bit of a relapse and back not feeling too good. Mr. Kim is having shoulder surgery tomorrow morning, so we’re off for a quick, simple meal out tonight. Hope to get back to cooking soon, but in the meantime thanks so much for keeping me hungry!}

[judiu]

Oh, Kim, that truly SUCKS! Tell Mr. Kim that I hope he feels better soon; I broke my shoulder several years ago, and it ain't no fun, fer sure! Sorry to hear of your relapse as well! Feel better soon, please! If you're up to it, please PM me Rachel's pimento cheese recipe. I have to make it for Halloween, and can't find it in egullet. Grrr!

[patrickamory]

Kim - That was actually not meant to be a joke! (I had to scroll back to remember what I asked - recipe for ham and cheese. It's all in the details.) I hope both you and Mr. Kim are feeling better soon.

[Steve Irby]

Another south meets north. Lobster and tasso chowder. Pretty tasty but I can't believe I still screw up the plating.

[Baselerd]

Dcarch, that looks great.

I recently made some tempura-fried Dover Sole with fennel-potato puree, fennel-orange salad, yuzu foam, and spicy tomato puree. I used this recipe for the tempura batter - turned out delicious (and super easy).

I prescribe ... another couple of weeks in Paris. Guaranteed to make you both feel better, as long as you tell us about it.

[Shelby]

TERRIBLE photo, but REALLY good dinner. My husband wanted taco salad. I used venison burger for the meat....Rancho Gordo beans...a few remaining tomatoes from the garden and baked flour tortillas.

[robirdstx]

Some recent dinners:

Sichuan Boneless Chicken, Steamed Rice and Broccoli Florets

Roast Chicken, Mashed Potatoes, Gravy, and Steamed Asparagus

Grilled Pork Steak and Asparagus with Sesame and Oyster Flavored Sauce

Simple Risotto

Beef Pot Roast and Gravy

[patrickamory]

Shelby - NOT a terrible photo, but mouthwatering. Which Rancho Gordo beans did you use? I've been doing a bunch lately, will be posting a multi-bean post.

[Vlcatko]

Great meals everyone! So inspiring! Makes me want to be able to take pictures worth sharing - as it is I feel like a freeloader here

And my wife's super crispy gold egg potatoes.

Ooh, this looks good! Basquecook, can you please tell us more about this? I love potatoes and I am always on the lookout for new ways to prepare them...

Thanks Patrick! Aren't RG beans just the best?

I used the Borlotti beans. I know RG says to use them in minestrone, but I love them so much that I use them in everything. I had some left from a batch of chili I made over the weekend, so off they went into the taco salad.

Looking forward to your bean extravaganza

[Baselerd]

Very impressive dinner Bojama. How did you make the yuzu cream?

Speaking of yuzu, I recently threw together an oyster appetizer (somewhat inspired by this).

I made a yuzu vinaigrette with yuzu, lime, and lemon juice then added some white soy sauce and simple syrup. I foamed it by adding some xanthan gum and soy lecithin. I shucked some oysters, topped with finely chopped jalapenos, shallots, chives, and lime zest, then topped them with some foam.

I have just thrown out a batch of gluten free gnocchi (horrible texture, did not get it to work like my normal recipe with flour) and need plan B for dinner tonight. May go for that yummy beef and broccoli stir fry.

Yuzu cream is from Migoya's book, actually it is yuzu mousse. You make yuzu and eggs sabayon, melt gelatine in it and then fold in cream (soft peaks). Really fresh dessert, loved and eaten even by 2 ladies who dislike sweets.

[Bojana]

Thanks to Anna N for inspiration!

It's still warm here but a cold front is pushing through. May get lows in high 50s in the next couple of days

Just started working on dinner. Was able to score another nice yellow tail snapper and good looking 10/20 head on Gulf shrimp. Thinking of a fish stew/soup. Removed the heads and shells from most of the shrimp and fillet out the snapper. All the fish remains and shrimp heads and shells are in the pressure cooker at the moment to make a seafood stock

Will finish the soup up with fresh vegetables and toss the seafood in at the last moment

Making the stock

A recent late dinner:

• Sockeye salmon, steamed w/ Shaohsing wine, mirin, vegetable oil, black & white pepper, lime juice, bit of salt, scallions, ginger, pear puffballs.

• Leftover fried rice - w/ garlic, long beans, scallions, celery, eggs, salt.

[Anna N]

Bojana, i have been inspired many, many times by the posters to this topic so I am happy to do my small part in re-payment.

I wish I could have made this look less like a dog's dinner! I was so tired and so hungry....

It is duck larb dressed with crispy duck skin, fried shallots and roasted rice powder. So tired I didn't even get the rice ground finely enough. Oh well. It was still worth repeating when I am less pooped.

[judiu]

Anna, I don't know where you get your patience! If I were that tired and hungry, I'd just grab the duck meat, hoisin sauce and Triscuits, and call it supper.

[scubadoo97]

Duck larb and crispy skin. Boy does that hit my buttons

Dinner tonight. Fish soup

The PC stock was really good. Enhanced it with saffron, fresh vegetables and some sliced fennel. With some crusty sourdough bread it was really good. One of the reasons I take photos of my food is so I can remember what I've made and hopefully make it again.

[Paul Bacino]

Scuba...that broth looks...delish

PC. Stock?
