Looks nice, sartoric. Perhaps you might consider adding even more basil next time. :-)

 

Following on from the "Gardening" topic, here are a few stir-fries that I did in the past with lots of (Thai) basil (just use standard Western basil instead, it doesn't have to be Thai basil): here, here (scroll down), here (scroll down). Here's another soup w/ loads of Genovese basil *and* a noodle/pasta sauce with loads of basil also - here.

Thanks huiray. Damn that Mei fun with mince pork, tomato and basil looks good, and I've only just started preparing something else with mince pork, tomatoes and basil. Another time !

Venison sloppy joes, onion rings, fried pickles and fries.   Very healthy for us lol.

 

 

 

Needed to use up pork from the chops we made the other day, so I made a curry of sorts.

 

[sartoric]

Nem Nuong with Nuoc Cham.

The patties are made with pork mince, ground roasted rice, fish sauce, spring onions, garlic and pepper.

The dipping sauce is water, fish sauce, rice wine vinegar, fresh lime juice, chilli, garlic and pepper.

To accompany is lettuce, basil, mint, baby spinach, tomatoes and pineapple.

 

 

You can wrap them, or use a fork !

A ramen hack.

"Ibumie Penang LadMee Perisa Lada Pedas" (I like this one) augmented w/ pastrami, Fish Tofu [CF Trading], yu choy sum, scallions, and extra ground white pepper.

Hot & Sour Soup. The latest version. :-) 

 

Most of the stuff that went in.

Top, L-R: Soaked & trimmed Golden Needles (金針) (lily buds); fresh ground white pepper; rinsed sliced mustard stems (榨菜).

Bottom, L-R: Pork slices marinated w/ good Shaohsing wine, corn starch, double fermented soy sauce [LKK], pepper, hon-mirin [Takara], fish sauce [Red Boat]; slender bamboo shoots cut into chunky sticks; deep-fried tofu puffs ("tau pok") sliced up; baby corn sliced into halves; rehydrated & trimmed wood-ear fungus; bean curd sheets soaked & ripped into smaller pieces.

Other stuff that went in and not pictured included chicken stock, oil, a beaten egg drizzled in, Chinkiang vinegar (lots), yet more white pepper, some salt. I might be missing listing one or two things...

A cold Tuesday night meant a big bowl of comforting congee

Cuban Mojo Rotisserie Chicken

Simple, but killer good! I like to truss the bird before it goes into the marinade. This just makes the follow on steps easier. This baby has spent the night in the arms of Morpheus (and olive oil, garlic, orange juice, lime juice, cilantro and a little S&P, all "zipped up" by an immersion blender).

Here she is just out of the marinade.  Beautiful, isn't she?

 

 Loaded up on the rotisserie.

 .

I just got a stand-by generator  that runs on propane and bought my own twin 120 gal propane tanks for the purpose. I had them run the gas line to my gas grill. No more worrying about running out of propane half-way through!!!

Here is what we have been waiting for. I served it with garlic cilantro lime rice and broccoli rabe.

 

 

[Shelby]

Wish I had some of that chicken, Chris.

 

Venison taco salads last night

[ninagluck]

cold dinner tonight, beets, cooked egg, trout caviar, wasabi foam

[mgaretz]

Pizza.  Store-bought thin crust topped with sauce, mozzarella, chicken apple sausage, mushrooms, green onions and red bell pepper.  Cooked in the Breville Smart Oven.  In case you are wondering about the weird edges, I had to trim the crust a bit to fit in the largest size vacuum bag by sealer will accommodate (bought a 4-pack of crusts at Costco). 

 

 

[sartoric]

Seafood chowder with crusty garlic bread.

The holidays were really busy crazy (in a good way) so I haven't posted in awhile.  Here is tonight's dinner: pasta with bacon, ricotta and peas. And a salad,of course. Last night: chicken with peppers, olives and tomatoes, with potatoes simmered in olive oil and white wine. Both recipes are from a cookbook my daughter gave me for Christmas - The Italian Country Table by Lynne Rossetto Kasper  (the Splendid Table commentator). I think it was remaindered ( she's on a badly paid post-doc) and it has good recipes.

 

[blue_dolphin]

Chicken cordon bleu (using leftover holiday ham that will likely last me until summer), twice-baked potato (I'm down to 4 leftover baked potatoes from NYE) and veg:
