Dinner 2014 (Part 7)

[paulpegg]

No, it is intended to be worldwide. There are only 168 hosts right now so coverage is light right now, as is traffic. Camille is the founder and she only started last Spring. Take a look at the site and search for places you might go to. Many of them are in France since that is where she started.

[patrickamory]

rotuts, slow-roasted at 170 F for 5 hours… then about 20 minutes at 450. could have been 200 for the first bit. checked internal temps with thermopen.

[chefmd]

Live scallop with uni and white miso sauce.

[ChrisTaylor]

Short ribs cooked at 58C for 48 hours. I finished them over coals after something prompted me to flip through Francis Mallman's book. I guess the Caprihinia is as close to culturally-appropriate as I could get without cracking open a bottle of Malbec.

 

 

Preparing the sides: burnt tomatoes with fennel and burnt carrots with goat cheese and rocket.

 

 

The carrots.

 

[Kim Shook]

Kate – I adore cinnamon rolls, but only made them from scratch once.  They were very good but a LOT of trouble.  Also, the recipe I used makes a dozen HUGE rolls.  Now when I have a craving, I go buy ONE at a bakery!  Every single plate of your food is gorgeous and delicious looking, but I have to ask:  what are those flat crouton-y looking things on the pork belly and shrimp plate?  Are they part of the belly or some bread thing?  They look amazing.

 

Patrick – your hoppin’ john looks wonderful.  I didn’t see any bell peppers, the presence of which steers me away from many versions.  Like rotuts, we are Benton’s fans.  Mr. Kim has introduced it to his co-workers , so every couple of months we get a gloriously stinky package on our front porch.  I always wonder if the UPS man orders a BLT that day for lunch without really realizing why! 

 

Yesterday’s football dinner:

Leftover vegetable soup.

 

Pigs in a blanket and boxed mac n cheese. (PS - that isn't ketchup in the little bowl, it's HP, a sausage roll trick I learned from my dad, Ted Fairhead, who some of you might remember.  Today would have been his birthday, so I'll probably have another one today in his honor).

[gfweb]

Kim, that looks like better  than the average weiner.

[chefmd]

Fried rice made with left over duck from Thai restaurant.  Super yellow eggs came from a friend who has chicikens in her suburban home!

[patrickamory]

Kim no bell peppers. And yes Benton's is something wonderful. We had one of the hams the summer before last and had it sliced paper-thin at the island grocery store (no doubt breaking all sorts of FDA regs) and ate it like prosciutto.

[CatPoet]

 

Yay for making food look boring! I should win an award!

 Anyway  that is fried chicken filet, not a whole one I have sliced in 5  "patties"  per filet, cooks quicker  and I only use 2 for  2 adults, 1 kid and a lunch box. Pomme duchesse, I made half of the  four serving recipe and we had left overs, I love it.  Soured mustard sauce , is one of my favorite things with chicken and  some trees since our  daughter is in her Beaver period,  yes she says  she is beaver and eats the blopli trees   and I dont argue with a 2½ year old who want to eat vegetable.

[rotuts]

WoW

 

CP

[Dejah]

After helping out for two days and nights with a 2.5 year old granddaughter-diva and her 3-week old sister while daddy's away on a course, I finally had time to cook and enjoy our first meal for 2015 at home.

 

Pan-seared a single rib Sterling Silver prime roast, served with green peppercorn gravy (McCormick International), carrots and rice.

 

 

Pure bliss as I will also be getting more than 4 hours of sleep tonight! This was a great end to my Xmas holidays. Back to teaching tomorrow!

[Shelby]

Ohhhhhhhh, it is the last day of the holidays (to me)  I still have all of my Christmas lights and decor up...I'm still enjoying it too much to take it down.

 

Tonight started off with some foie gras

 

 

Then we had some oyster stew

 

 

It's going to end with Mr. Shelby and I snuggled in bed....him watching a movie and me reading a book that I can't put down

 

 

[mm84321]

I made paella for New Year's. Hope everyone has a happy and healthy 2015.

[Ashen]

 Beef spezzatino,  grilled polenta and salad 

 

[ChrisTaylor]

The ricotta/spinach gnudi from Collards & Carbonara. I admit to cheating on the marinara.

Asam Heh (tamarind prawns).  Pan-fried cabbage.  White rice.

 

 

(Plus the rest of the carrots & celery soup from a previous dinner)

This was supposed to be our day when everything changed, everything would get better  and no. 

This is a bowl of spaghetti of disappointment  and   I had some ice cream of despair,  life isnt fair and why, see the link...http://www.thelocal.se/20150105/over-100-swedes-trickedin-hoax-job-offer

[Kim Shook]

Kim, that looks like better  than the average weiner.

Just kielbasa cut into about 4-inch pieces.  

[Anna N]

Pan-fried Arctic char over some hearty greens that were sauteed with bacon.

[chefmd]

Inspired by Anna N post in lunch thread.    Duck rilletes with home made bread and Maldon salt.  This is New Year duck that keeps on giving.

[Anna N]

chefmd

Thank you. I'd like to think this is what the dinner topic is all about (and the lunch and breakfast topics). It's all about inspiring one another to make something wonderful or just something different. To encourage us to spread our wings occasionally with exotic ingredients and sometimes to tighten our purse strings and yet still make something appetizing to look at and to eat.

My interpretation of bangers and mash. Sausages, mashed potatoes and a homemade mushroom gravy.

[scubadoo97]

Having purchased copious amount of greens for the new year we had like Anna, fish over greens this evening.

[Franci]

We had grilled marinated mackerel and Bruxelles sprouts two ways, outer leaves sautéed and heart slowly grilled on cast iron grill. We also had some spiralized salads...my kids are loving that tool so much.
