Franci are those soup buns? Or just meat buns? Very skillful pleading.

Thanks dcarch, they are just meat buns, soup buns I would cook like pot stickers and serve with bottom up.

I, instead, always admire how creative you can get with vegetables. I really like vegetables and I really enjoy to see how you use stalks.

Tonight we had simply homemade tagliatelle

Chicken with ginger: Marinate chicken with dark and light soy sauce and salt. Gently stir-fry sliced ginger, add the chicken, chile flakes, and Shaoxing wine, and stir-fry until golden. Add chicken stock and long beans, reduce heat, and simmer until sauce is reduced. Finish with sliced scallions and sesame oil. I forgot about the scallions until after I took the picture. Oops.

Salad with Mrs. C’s homemade dressing. Mrs. C also made smoked pork stock tonight, so I’m looking forward to dinner tomorrow.

So, after 30 days of not drinking, I broke the streak with a 2009 Gaja. That's a good way to do it. I took a leg of lamb out of the freezer on Sunday and then my week got crazy.. I ended up inviting some people for dinner last night..

We started with mussel pasta.. This was really nice.. Sweated some shallots in butter and olive oil.. Then I added some garlic and jalapeno peppers.. Then, I took the mussels out once they opened and deshelled them.. Added some milk that had anchovies soaking in it to the pasta sauce, the the spaghetti, then the mussels, red pepper, parsley and finally some toasted white bread crumbs.

Not the prettiest photo.

People went nuts over this. My one guest told me I should package it. I don't think canned spaghetti would be successful.. I served a little pasta water in a glass with a spoon. I was making the pasta and right at the end, one of my guests stepped in and poured everything into a bow, thinking they were helping.. I hadn't finished with pasta water and olive oil.. So, instead of scolding them, I just casually served the pasta water on the side and had people help themselves.. It worked out perfectly.

It looks very good. Since my town of origin is famous for mussels, I'm very big on this dish. I suggested other times on egullet, if you have 10 more minutes to spare, try, I'm sure you'll be amazed on the difference: open the mussel by hand, not steam to open. It takes a little bit of practice but I'm sure you are good at this stuff. Collect the mussels with their filtered water. Add this to your garlic/pepper and so on. It tastes so, so much better.

Yesterday I made some stock using some beef shank, so today I made some mondeghili, some Milanese croquettes, mixing the leftover meat minced, some sausage meat, some mashed potatoes (instead of bread soaked in milk), parmigiano, garlic, parsley, salt, I didn't have liver mortadella, also I didn't coat in breadcrumbs and deep fried in oil instead of shallow frying in butter. Served with roasted potatoes in duck fat and Swiss chards

That's some nice crispy skin on those birds.

I finally got around to making the Momofuku recipe for short ribs - a bit late to the party I suppose. Either way, it was definitely one of the better short rib recipes I've made (48 hours @ 140 F), probably due to the amazing braising liquid the recipe involves. Also on the plate was some dashi-braised daikon, pickled carrots, pickled mustard seeds, and a reduction of the braising liquids.
