So the cycle of leftovers begins again but I short circuited it this time! I made lamb stew for me and my son last night, sent him home with some of the leftovers, had some for lunch today, and sent the rest home to my daughter's house.

[Dejah]

My not-so-goopy- no white-pepper Hot 'n' Sour soup and durian for lunch today.

 

 

Hubby prefers steamed rice instead of green onions in his.

I stir fried tofu and eggplant in my own variation of a gojuchang sauce.  It was very spicy and very yummy.

[huiray]

“Instant Noodles Artificial Hot &Sour Shrimp Flavor” (酸辣蝦麵) [Dragonfly] augmented w/ sautéed sliced garlic (vegetable oil), leafy celery heart, quartered common mushrooms, chopped scallions, halved hard-boiled eggs (done separately) and de-shelled de-veined prawns (wild Atlantic; they went in at the very last).  Garnished w/ coriander leaves.

Sunday lunch:

 

• Chicken thighs, chopped up; “stir-fried” w/ garlic, vegetable oil, poblano peppers, shallots, baby long-type Chinese eggplants and a sauce mixture of {black bean garlic sauce [Lee Kum Kee], Guilin chili sauce [Lee Kum Kee], chilli paste w/ holy basil leaves [JHC], fish sauce [Red Boat], aged soy sauce [Kimlan], aged ‘gourmet’ rice vinegar [Kong Yen] and palm sugar}.

• White rice.

I tried out capellini/fedellini for carbonara:

 

[huiray]

Polished off the remainder of the tomato sauce from dinner.  Served today on radiatore w/ shaved Parmigiano Reggiano and chopped chives plus sliced fresh mozzarella.  I liked the combination. :-) 

 

[liuzhou]

A bit of a United Nations lunch today.

 

Italian pasta, with Jinhua ham (possibly China's best), Spanish olives, locally bought asparagus, mushrooms, chilli flakes and garlic. Fried in French olive oil.

 

[Blether]

We got a bento at yesterday's location shoot.  The quality was good.

 

[CatPoet]

 

Kalvsylta with  sourcream and dill.  This my type of fast food, yeah I ate the whole lot and ignore boiling potatoes to it.,  YUM,  It is brawn /head cheese made with  calf meat and  I  only eat the one who used proper meat nor pink smile and is name protected.

[Blether]

That sounds like Scottish potted hough (though hough is shin, of course... and you won't find anyone putting sour cream on it).

[CatPoet]

Similar  but no the same, there is a million ways of using up the meat and putting in jelly, good way of not wasting any thing.   Sour cream , fresh potatoes and sylta is a common summer food in Sweden.

[Blether]

It's the consistency of the sylta in your photo that reminded me of it.

[CatPoet]

But the taste is different. I tried  potted hough, it good but not as great as Sylta

Peach meatloaf version 1.2. Peaches soaked in soy, layered on loaf then liberally coated with sugar prior baking in the Breville

Wow

 

outside the Box

 

like to hear more about that Loaf !

 

does that Loaf Oink ?

Edited August 22, 2014 by rotuts (log)

[gfweb]

Lol. No pork but it does oink! It was a standard ML. Garlic, chopped onion, Worcestershire, little thyme. I wish I'd covered the whole thing in peaches and sugar and then torched it to get more caramelization. But it was tasty nonetheless.

Very late lunch today. Don't know where my mind was. Had a visitor right at the lunch hour and failed to even offer her a bite.

Had some odd bits of this and that in the fridge. A bit of raw minced lamb, a quarter of a red onion, half a small baked potato. Bunged these into a fry pan and made a sort of hash. Piled that into a miniature pita bread and topped with some chopped tomato and cucumber tossed in milk mayo. Sprinkled it with zatar. Not bad at all.

[Blether]

(A second slice of) leek & parmesan quiche, with Italian marinated peppers.  Quiche re-warmed from the fridge with two 30-second MW bursts, and a rest in between.

 

[huiray]

Pork belly rice congee w/ preserved mustard stems & soy puffs.  Details here.

Pull mustard (雪裡紅) stir-fried w/ garlic. (intact young plants look like this)
