Those look wonderful. Will you share the recipe?

[Shelby]

Kim-  I use this recipe for the pork lettuce wraps http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/thai-ground-pork-salad  I add some sautéed shiitake mushrooms to it, too.  LOL that was more of the tobiko that was also on the deviled eggs.

A simple dinner of an old war-horse of a dish.  Beef w/ bittergourd.  Lots of garlic.  White rice.

 

[mgaretz]

Meatloaf tonight - made on the pellet grill.  Served with baked potato, also cooked on the grill.

 

 

[rotuts]

two recent dinners, factoring in the Heat:

 

 

this is a fresh onion bun, cut in 1/2 w tomato, onion etc and topped w some sliced SV stuffed

 

Ck.Breast, which i mentioned way back in the SV thread.   I have a lot of these in the freezer. 

 

stuffing is Swiss Cheese, mortadella, salami.  SV'd  145 4 hours, chilled and frozen.

 

the potato salad is from pre-grilled new potatoes, and the mayo has a couple of SV yolks mixed in

 

I torched it for fun:  the PS liked it a lot.

 

A similar dinner :

 

 

this has some of that same SV stuffed chicken breast, but toasted chopped fresh home made

 

(machine) bread, ( Baked outside ! ) tomatoes, greek dressing.

 

same potato salad.  I make the PS 'fresh' each time, but the potatoes are grilled in bulk, cooled and refrigerated.

 

Remember, its hot here.  both dinners were delicious, cool, and suited me fine.

Pork Vindaloo,   normally I have salmon on this day and  curries on Saturday but the fishmonger has changed the days he is on the market and I prefer my fish from this guy and no one else. Yes I am picky.  So curries on Wednesdays and  salmon on Saturdays, until  August  not sure until  if it is  early or mid yet.

Found some nice vegetables at the market this morning. My garden is also starting to look nice and full..

Salad of raw and fried vegetables and herbs

Meatloaf tonight - made on the pellet grill.  Served with baked potato, also cooked on the grill.

 

What do you like to put in your meatloaf? Is that carrot I see? Or red pepper? 

 

I like to add grated onion (always), maybe some grated carrot or some chopped spinach or beet greens. Maybe grated apple if I use a bit more ground pork in the meat mix than usual.

For 2 lbs of ground beef I use one medium carrot, one medium celery rib and one medium onion - all fine dice. They are sauteed before getting mixed in with the beef.  1 clove of garlic in the saute for the last minute or so. For a filler I use rolled oats - 1 cup.  Rest of the ingredients: 2 eggs, 1/2 cup of water, about a tbs of tomato paste, a tbs of soy sauce, 1/2 tsp of gelatin (bloomed on the egg/water mix), some salt and pepper and about 1 tsp of thyme.  The glaze is about a 1/2 cup of ketchup with 8 tsp of sugar and a dollop of dark molasses,  Cook at 375F to an IT of 135F then baste on half the glaze, broil for about 7 minutes, baste again and broil for another 7 minutes or so.

Spaghetti with cauliflower, anchovy and raisins; not so strange -- it's a Sicilian-style prep, similar to pasta con le sarde.

Been feeling somewhat uninspired since this past weekend. Tomorrow and Friday are clean-out-the-crisper nights, and it'll be good to take my mind off of B for a little while, at least.

I rarely eat red meat, so that's not really of much use to me. But I appreciate the gesture anyway.

Oh have you tried  Fish balls?   Pikeballs are one of my favorite things and they are easy to make and can be made with other  types of fish then pike.  It just   fresh fish, potatoes, dill, egg and seasoning, rolled into a balls,   coated with flour, egg and bread crumbs and then either fried in a lot of butter or deep fried.  yum.

I do like fish balls, but the ones I'm familiar with are Chinese. They're not fried either (or more precisely, the ones I'm thinking of aren't typically fried, but are eaten in soup).

The type of food I usually cook doesn't involve meat or fish most of the time, and when they do, they're usually not the focus of the meal.

Pike balls are one of these left over foods from my childhood, my grandfather used the leftover bits of fish  to make these and  if we had them in summer, we had  a huge salad with them and steamed vegs.  I be making them on Saturday. I take picture  then.

• Short-cut pork spare ribs steamed w/ a kind of salted "turnip",^¶ a riff on a dish called 荷塘沖菜蒸排骨.  Note to self: leave out the leaves/leafy stems next time.  Plentiful garlic plus some other seasonings also went in.

• Yu choy sum stir-fried w/ garlic & ginger; quenched w/ a mixture of oyster sauce, ryori-shu, jozo mirin, black sesame oil, ground white pepper.

• White rice.

 

 

 

^¶ I used this one, shown below out from the package.  A piece was cut off, sliced thinner, soaked, then cut into strips.

Our dinner tonight was a salad with shrimp, avocado, and soft cooked egg, scaloppine and stuffed mushrooms. 

 

 

 

[huiray]

Posted a few times before, but I enjoy this salad & pasta and find it sort-of comfort food.

Romaine, Napa, parsley, EV olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper.  Hazan simple tomato sauce using fresh tomatoes, fedelini, pecorino romano.

cyalexa - Actually those pepperoni rolls are store bought.  Just a nice, buttery dough stuffed with pepperoni slices and Cheddar with more cheese scattered on top before they baked them.  I’m quite sure they could be made better at home, but probably not by me  !

 

Shelby – thanks for the link.  Mr. Kim would love those – he’s trying to cut carbs.

 

We got some mushrooms from Relay Foods:

Shitakes on the upper right and maybe oyster on the lower left.  Is the yellow one a lone chanterelle?  And what the heck it is this fuzzy fellow:

 

Here they are all sautéed and ready to go into an omelet:

Mr. Kim nibbled the yellow one before I could take a picture.  The omelet with some fairly good (early) Hanover tomatoes:

 

Served with kale:

Don’t blame me for those stems.  Mr. Kim cooked the kale when I was out and forgot to de-stem them.  He was in heaven with this meal.  I don't care for kale or mushrooms, so I had more pepperoni rolls and tomatoes!

1) Yes, oyster mushrooms.  

2) Doesn't quite look like a chanterelle, could be a variety of oyster?

3) Lion's Mane mushroom.
