Last night we had a mini-Thanksgiving redo for 4 people. 12lb turkey, cranberry sauce, mashed redskin potatoes, sugar snap peas and gravy. The turkey was the freebie I got from the supermarket after Thanksgiving. It cooked up perfectly, must be because of the smaller size. Saved the carcass to make soup, and leftovers will be enjoyed tonight.

Yesterday I was so busy that somehow meals were largely forgotten. By late afternoon I was on the verge of chewing on my stainless steel refrigerator! Dinner was still almost 2 hours away so I tossed together this salad

Romaine lettuce, roasted butternut squash, Blue cheese and bacon bits. It took the edge off while I prepared this

Very small duck breast that was brushed on the flesh side with a combination of marmalade, orange zest, honey and thyme. It was then sous vided for one and a half hours and crisped on the skin side in a cast iron skillet. It is cross posted on the citrus cook off topic.

I am a cookbook addict and when I go through a new one, the first recipe, catching my eye has to be tried. this time from a boat, a whale & a walrus, the celeriac salad with walnuts and pomegranates, very tasty!

[rotuts]

is 'walrus' fish-ey ?

 

Ive had whale , while reading Moby Dick

 

it was very oil-ey

 

but it came from a small can

 

[Anna N]

Nina,

Your salad looks lovely. What is the dressing?

[gfweb]

Pork filled with spinach and prosciutto, spiced yam ravioli w sage gravy, maple sprouts

 

[rotuts]

Pleased

 

very pleased

 

Id like to think that the Piggy above was so rare that the meat might have said :

 

"" Oink "" on the plate

Had a friend around today and as we're not going to have the opportunity to cook anything for Chinese New Year I thought I'd cook a chinese meal for us all. Chicken rice again, golden sand lobster with crispy thai basil, steamed black bean razor clams with lobster roe, fish fragrant aubergines and broccoli with chinese bacon.

[BKEats]

people keep bringing things to my house..  some lamb sausages..  A brief inventory showed that I only had large carrots, onions, celery and some lettuce as vegetables..   I took a large sweet onion and cooked it down.. added beer and butter, a large whole grain mustard.  

 

Served with rye bread and dijon mustard.  

 

grilled the sausages and then let it meld with the onions and mustard. grilled fresh rye also brought to the house.

Festival of pork! 

 

slow roasted pork shoulder, black-eyed peas made with smoked pork rib meat, southern braised greens made with bacon, corn bread made with bacon fat

looks like summer to me !

 

I could use a little of that today !

 

[Shelby]

Prawn--I want one of those razor clams

 

BK--Lovely sausages.  At least someone brought food this time lol.

 

 

 

My Superbowl dinner was not traditional at all.  Mainly because I could not have cared less who won.  I was pleased, though, by the outcome since Seattle kicked my beloved Broncos butts last year.  

 

The Asian market had the tiniest quail I've ever seen.

 

 

I floured and browned them, made a mushroom gravy and baked until super tender.

Some weekend meals. Perfect weather to cook with single digit temps and more than one foot of snow at the door.

 

Risotto alla milanese. I started by cooking shallots in veal bone marrow and that made everything extra creamy.

 

 

 

Bacon wrapped pork tenderloin with peas "a la francaise". Adapted from Eric Ripert's www.aveceric.com. 

 

 

 

Roast beef tenderloin with potato and arugula salad.

 

 

[mgaretz]

Jumbo lump crab cakes (baked) and cole slaw with my horseradish slaw dressing.

 

[ninagluck]

Anna, the dressing is creme fraiche, some preserved Meyer lemon peel, lemon juice, shallot, salt and olive oil. emulsified with a handblender, if it is smooth stir in some poppy seeds.

Thanks so much.

Ann – hot chicken sandwiches with gravy are perhaps my favorite food in the world!

 

Super Bowl noshes – Mr. Kim’s Chili:

 

Buffalo Chicken Dip:

 

Ooey, gooey insides:

This stuff comes out of the oven nuclear hot and people were blistering their mouths to get to it.  It is just the perfect football food – hot, rich, cheesy, spicy and you pile it on tortilla chips!

 

I also made a lemon icebox pie for dessert:

 

[rotuts]

Wow !

Thanks!  Here's the recipe: http://www.recipecircus.com/recipes/Kimberlyn/DIPSSPREADS/Buffalo_Chicken_Dip.html  

One time, I mixed it all up and made it into wontons!  That was possibly my most successful dish I've ever made.

[rotuts]

""  I mixed it all up and made it into wontons!  ""

 

i can see this

 

I put stunning BBQ wings  ( left overs  go figure ) into wontons a long time ago

 

and they were outstanding

 

no more leftover wings these days ....

[Ann_T]

Shelby, your quail look like the tiny ones I can buy here.

 

Kim, your super bowl dishes look great.  Would love a bowl of that chili.

 

Chicken with ginger and bean sprouts.

[cyalexa]

Grilled chicken thighs with coconut tamarind glaze - something I make whenever I open a can of coconut milk and don't use the whole thing.

A new to me recipe, roasted coconut cauliflower rice - not bad but if I make it again I will increase the coconut oil (I should have known as this came from a "healthy" website)

Crappy photo. Lamb loin with charmoula sauce and couscous with roasted fennel and mushrooms from Fine Cooking Winter 2015.  Couldn't be bothered to sous vide the loin.  Just grilled it for three minutes a side.
