Pizza with roasted cherry tomatoes, bacon, caramelized onion and garlic, parmigiano and mozzarella. I don't like my pizza crust very dark; just barely done.

 

[BonVivant]

Easy dumplings. I made 3 different sorts with lamb, half fat pork and half fat pork with whole prawns. I also used preserved vegs in the mince. First dozen was steamed but the rest was cooked on the table hot pot style.

 

 

 

Half of the batch

 

 

Steamed

 

 

I used these in the mince (minus the Sichuan chili mix)

Lobster, artichokes and black truffle

[Anna N]

Token dish for Chinese New Year. Ants climbing a tree from Land of Plenty.

[Greekness]

BonVivant, that looks excellent and you must be incredibly busy cooking today because I noticed your post on CH around the same time as this one on EG showing photos of a completely different but equally impressive looking dinner that you made today. Well done and I love your photography.

[huiray]

Another pot of rice congee, for a cold day.

Peanut oil, ginger, garlic, shallots (not usually added at this point), "five flower meat" :-), ja choy (a kind of preserved mustard stem), splash of fish sauce, water, salt, simmer, uncooked jasmine rice, simmer, tau pok, simmer.  Eaten w/ scallions & deep-fried shallots.

 

A braise (stove top) of winter bamboo shoots, oil, garlic, snow fungus (rehydrated), fu chuk (beancurd skin), aka miso, water.  I think I'm forgetting something...

[BKEats]

We had lots of people stop by  yesterday.. i made at least 24 chicken sandwiches.. brined, butter milked and then floured and fried.  Served with a basil mayo, onion, hot sauce, arugula and tomato for the most part.  When the basil oil ran out, i made cilantro mayo. some had a horseradish cheddar..  

 

this particular one was cilantro mayo and then the last of the salsa fresco with avocado.  trying to move inventory.. my friends an architect so, i was trying to make some type of structure..  

 

 

this is a double:

 

i made a classic version of rice pudding.. cooked rice stirred with milk and sugar and thickened.. then i added some more milk and a few eggs, butter and vanilla.    i made dulce de leche by boiling condensed milk in the can.

I keep a lot of food in the house.. Since having the baby, we just have people show up at our house..  It's been happening like this since the baby came.. so, i like to have food if people showed up.. I had a 3 pound pork roast brining as well, that didn't get eaten.. I am going to stuff that and roast it tonight.     Today, we are not seeing anyone. we turned off the phones and told everybody that was over yesterday that we are on locked down.  As, i am leaving on a business trip soon

this is what they looked like before cooking. this butcher is in Chelsea Market in NY and has very interesting cuts of meat in addition to the premade burgers.

 

[rotuts]

quality bacon ground into the burger is always nice

Coussinet of potato, smoked salmon and imperial ossetra caviar

[Smithy]

mm84321, that is even more striking than your usual beautiful platings. I especially like the border.

1. Is that dill?

2. Did you use tweezers to accomplish that precision?

Smoked salmon. Caviar.

Would you adopt me?

[ninagluck]

tonight I had chicken in a parmesan crust, served with salsify in lemon butter.

Thank you kindly. Yes, that is dill, placed there by my fingers, so no tweezers. I would consider adoption under a series of very particular circumstances.
