Everyone's meals look great. Our dinner was several appetizers and a salad.  Salad was marinated cauliflower, broccoli, sunflower seeds, dates and onion.  Apps were two taco dips, one meatless and leftover from yesterday, deep fried red bell peppers, and Buffalo chicken ring with sour cream and bleu cheese dip.

 

 

[Thanks for the Crepes]

Norm,

 

Deep-fried red bell peppers is something I have never heard of, and while I might prefer a little less breading than in your lovely photo, it's an idea I will keep well in mind for the next time I find good red bells. I love sweet red peppers, and what isn't improved by frying and then being well drained and blotted? 

 

Just curious, did you come up with the idea or have you seen it before?

Norm, your food looks like out of Betty Crocker cookbook and that style and era, it is oddly comforting.

 

Yesterday we made satay pork, very tasty and every one liked it.

[Norm Matthews]

Thanks for the Crepes and CatPoet,  If you click on the http link at the bottom of my post, it will take you to the recipes.  The two recipes were brought to my attention by people I know.  My daughter-in-law asked me to make the fried pepper rings.  They were batter dipped and the batter was thicker than I'd make it next time.  CP: Funny you'd say the recipe looks like Betty Crocker.  The recipe was actually Pillsbury's. The taco dips were using up extra food bought from yesterday's Cinqo de Mayo.

In honor of scoring the first zucchini of the season, along with an alleged vine-ripened-in-Florida tomato, we had zucchini fritters, creamed corn and sliced tomato for dinner.

 

 

The corn was some I had frozen last year. The tomatoes were good, if not spectacular; flavor was vine-ripened but the texture was mealy, I expect from refrigeration on the trip up here. Still better than grocery store tomatoes, by a long shot. I'll have the rest of that one today on a BLT. 

 

The fritters weren't....quite....right. I think it was the off-brand saltines I used for crumbs. Must go back to using Nabisco.

This looks lovely. 

 

Thank you.  Appreciated.  It was tasty & texturally varied; I enjoyed it.

Yesterday, dinner was more of an experiment than a meal. I made fried noodles with sriracha sauce.

Tonight I took the sous vide turkey from last night and cooked it in it's juice in a cast iron skillet until it was falling apart and caramelized in the juice. Served on corn tortillas with a slaw, gruyere, and the last of some roasted cauliflower that was browned in the pan used for the turkey, picking lovely brown bits.

Inspired by the Frozen Burgers in Ontario thread and wanting a quick dinner, I hiked a couple miles to the store and back looking for some hamburger.  There were some preformed patties on sale which I took home.  The brand is Schweind & Sons, which I had never heard of.  But they did the job.

[kayb]

Still on a spring vegetable kick -- yellow crookneck squash and sweet onions, new potatoes simply boiled with butter, a thin pork loin chop, and waffle iron cornbread, an innovation for which I'll be forever grateful to Kim Shook.

 

 

[huiray]

Top sirloin cap, end cut.  Sliced into three pieces, seasoned w/ salt & pepper and pan-fried/pan-seared.  Yes, they were still nicely red on the inside.  Wild rice [bineshii], simmered in slightly salted water then tossed in the pan (with the fire on) with the residues and fat & juices from doing the sirloin.  Sliced "skinny negi"/cebollitas.

 

Salad.  Green frisee lettuce, baby bok choy, Miner's Lettuce, Napa cabbage heart, Pink Beauty tomato (greenhouse; this was good); Alziari EV olive oil, sea salt, ground black pepper, 10-year Modena balsamic vinegar.

I got to see and film my very first tornado Wednesday evening.  I'm still SO excited.  It was about 2 miles from my house.  I filmed it from inside my truck next to my mailbox.  Supposed to be an active couple of days so who knows what else I might get to see.  

 

My mom is coming today!!!!!!   I'm beside myself with excitement.  

 

 

We had leftovers last night:

 

Fried chicken, taters and swiss chard

 

[huiray]

A couple meals of "Sapporo Ichiban Japanese Style Noodles & Chicken Flavored-Soup" augmented with stuff.

 

Andouille sausage, smashed garlic, cremini mushrooms, rainbow swiss chard, farm-fresh eggs poached in situ.

 

Leftover "Rosemary & Lemon Chicken (rotisserie-type)" [from The Fresh Market], shredded meat; sliced Savoy cabbage, cremini mushrooms, halved hard-boiled farm-fresh eggs, deep-fried sliced shallots.
