BlueDolphin, your scallops look perfect.  I've got a few in the freezer that I need to use.  I didn't do so well cooking them last time so I'm gun-shy lol.

 

Chris, nothing wrong at all with that picture and I hope your eye heals asap.  Your burgers are my kind of burger.  I like when you can't see the meat because of the cheese

 

Liuzhou, that looks like such a nice, refreshing summertime meal.

I looked around at previous eG threads for suggestions on getting a nice sear on the scallops.  I followed suggestions to cook them sous vide first, then sear to finish.

I thawed and dried them, lined them up in a row on plastic wrap and wrapped them up into a little cylinder shape.  I put that into a zip lock and cooked at 50 deg C (122 F) for 30 min.  Then I unwrapped them, patted dry on paper towels and seared them in a hot cast iron pan with grapeseed oil.  I tried dusting 2 of them lightly with Wondra flour and those 2 did get a darker crust but they also stuck to the pan a little while the ones that went in naked didn't stick.

the soup from the IP 

 

nice.

[ElainaA]

Mahi-mahi roasted with lemon and lime zest and lemon juice, topped with a lemon-mustard vinaigrette. With a red quinoa pilaf with onions, pine nuts and parsley. And salad.

[Anna N]

A truly bookended day!

Breakfast. 

Dinner. 

 

 

[scubadoo97]

I had some leftover seared corvina that I mixed with riced potatoes to make fish cakes and served over a roasted corn relish with a side of crispy kale and tomatoes 

[mgaretz]

Tri-tip, cooked for 8 hours SV at 128F then torch seared.  Served with green beans and salad.

 

 

 

[huiray]

Another variation on what has become a returned-to dish for me...

Tuna in olive oil [Ortiz] together with the oil in medium-hot pan, sliced garlic (Siberian Red); hot red chili flakes, Salina salted capers [Mongetto] (rinsed & soaked & drained); dripping-wet just-cooked linguine [Rustichella d'Abruzzo], several splashes of AgroDolce Bianco Delizia Estense, fold in on heat w/ a little more pasta water; chopped parsley (from my deck). Plate; lots of ground black pepper; garnish w/ parsley leaflets.

 

 

[sartoric]

Indian ! Pork and tomato curry, braised potato, cauliflower and spinach, basmati rice, pappadams and mango chutney.

 

The pork.

 

Veggies.

 

 

[scubadoo97]

Looks fabulous Sartoric

[ElainaA]

Orzo cooked like risotto with garlic scapes, what I could rescue from my bolted arugula and spinach, and mushrooms (shiitake and white). I toasted the orzo before I started adding broth. And, of course, salad.

[chefmd]

After 3 days of working 14 hours a day, 12 hour day calls for celebration.  Visited newly open whole foods at 6:30 pm, dinner at 7 something.

 

remnants of the beet salad, very Pollock esque

 

Strip steak and martini

View of DC in preparation to the 4th of July.  

 

[blue_dolphin]

Leftover roasted chicken and potato salad with fresh tomato and corn from today's local farmers market.

I didn't set out to cut the corn out of the photo, but unfortunately, it deserved it - it was sweet but tough, very disappointing.

As the real estate folks say "Location, Location, Location!"

I would say being next to that strip steak and martini is a pretty good location! 

[rotuts]

@chefmd  

 

mighty fine looking steak

[liuzhou]

Chicken legs braised with garlic, chilli, olives and coriander leaf/cilantro.

Served with buttery minted new potatoes.

(This is half of what I ate. And there are still leftovers for tomorrow's lunch.)

 

 

Apologies for lousy photograph. My kitchen lighting isn't camera friendly.

Crab, spinach and cheese omelette with a few cos leaves and toast. It's blue swimmer crab, not out of a can, but not straight out of the crab either.

 

[Tere]

No pics, but Kamado Joe sirloin, rare, minted peas and 8 minute chips. I do like vegetarian food but I felt the need for steak as a bolster beforehand. As a bonus I never realised you could get Quorn pepperoni or bacon before  (She is vegetarian not vegan thankfully because I am not up to date on where Quorn is with the egg thing).

[scubadoo97]

Another attempt at a childhood favorite, hummus bil lahme.   This time not over cooked.  The toasted pine nuts and baharat spices make it sing

 

[suzilightning]

After 2.5 hours at the phone store to replace the phone himself has misplaced somewhere for the last week...

shrimp with garlic over pasta and finished with flat leaf parsley.  I'm too tired to be hungry.

 

trying to use up all kinds of leftovers before Johnnybird leaves for a few days of camping.  I'm thinking what I would like to eat when I am here by myself... so far I have all kinds of fresh fruit, greek yoghurt, chef's salads, a chili dog, some pork loin with rice and veg.
