Thanks. It wasn't a special occasion, just had a few days off for the first time in a while. Thought i'd spend a day in the kitchen

All lovely Paul - did you dip the kale in very hot oil or? Makes an inviting presentation.

No, just tossed in olive oil, salt and pepper and baked in a low oven (130c) until crisp.

Robirdstx – were those Trader Joe Korean ribs frozen?

Kim - Yes, frozen. Already cut and marinated. Just thaw and cook.

Shelby -- Dear sweet baby Jesus, that Reuben. Just give me one of those, and then kill me. I'll go peacefully.

You going to the races? Can we meet up?

[robirdstx]

We started with Pork Potstickers (not photographed)

and then had a Chicken and Vegetable Stir Fry with Sichuan Sauce.

Camarones a la pimienta – Wilted white onion, garlic, and jalapenos, shrimp and lots of black pepper, finished with a shot of mayo and wrapped in warm corn tortillas.

Hearts of palm and scallion soup – Fried white onion, garlic, and hearts of palm, pureed with chicken stock and finished with lots of scallions and a little heavy cream.

Homemade Chicago Style Beef sandwich - turned out great.

If you are referring to the dish in the first post of this thread, then it is, as I said, a Fuchsia Dunlop recipe. You can see it here.

I made a simple meat sauce at the weekend. I'd a portion of Marcella's Tomato-butter-onion (TBO) sauce on hand, so I did a 50:50 mix and called it a pasta dinner (so enticing I didn't stop to steady the camera):

Supper last night: Chicken Dopiaza - Chicken and Onion Curry

[Shelby]

KayB! You used to live in the town with the BEST reubens ever I don't have any plans yet to attend, but I'm not ruling it out….Are you going over?

Robirdstx--Your stir fry looks delicious

Bruce--I want to pop one of those shrimp in my mouth

Unpopular Poet--That sandwich would make you very popular in my house

Dejah--Your curry calls to me. I haven't made curry in a long long time. I got on a curry kick years ago and I think I burned myself out. I'm ready to eat it again.

Last night I made Siu Yook. You can read more on the pork belly cook off thread here:

My husband shot a Canadian goose on the last day of the season. It was a big sucker. Here are the breasts

He decided to make pastrami out of them

After pressure cooking for about 90 mins

Pastrami on rye

Spicy pork on lettuce wraps

More eggrolls

sure there is - that's when a Canadian pinches you when you aren't looking!

Shelby, Which recipe did you use for the Pork Belly. I love cracklin's. I'm definitely picking up a pork belly this week. The Goose Pastrami looks amazing. I've never eaten Canada Goose.

I had a craving for curry this past week.

Not very pretty, but it tasted great. Chicken Curry, Aloo Gobi, rice pilaf

and homemade chapati.

Have a client over that way, and am working in that area about six days out of the month. Haven't been to track yet, but planning on it this month.

Well, hmmm….we need to inform the Kansas Fish and Game that they are mis-labeling the Canadian Goose!

Adapted from this recipe: Sous vide squid, miso-cured egg yolks, Meyer lemon powder & oil, wasabi powder. To cook the squid, they were vacuum sealed with katsuobushi butter and cooked for 10 minutes at 162 F. Then they were seared in a screaming hot pan and basted in butter for a moment. This was the first time I had cooked squid sous vide, and to my surprise it was almost perfectly done (soft, but still had a bit of bite to it).
