Indonesian roast pork belly with gado gado.

The pork is rubbed with turmeric, salt and pepper, then marinated with a smash of garlic, ginger and peanut oil.

And that oriental shank with pomegranate juice. Ninagluck: Did you use a concentrate? I need some variety with lamb shanks...

Sticks.

 

Pork tenderloin marinated in olive oil, crushed coriander seed, chilli flakes and local sea salt. Cherry tomatoes, white button mushrooms, shallots and yellow bell pepper. Threaded onto sticks, painted with the marinade and grilled (broiled). Served with rice.

Dinner was simple: half a bottle of Schneider Riesling No.1, some whipped together Schupfnudeln with caramelized onions and smoked ham shavings and a piece of Chaource for good measure. Life is good!

One of the reasons I love HK... East meets West, and you can get almost everything there. (Sometimes East beats West)

 

Chaource is a fantastic cheese.

Everything I like is in one photo here, Duvel. My cheese heart belongs to France but my soul is probably Frank/Bavarian and Swabian.  Schupfnudeln/Spätzle, Riesling and Speck (not to mention Sauerkraut)! I'm intrigued by Austrian and Slovenian food as well. Well, come to think of it, it boils down to Speck for me.

 

I like that they have German proverbs with the words Speck/beer/wine/eating/drinking in it!

Thank you!

Duck on the BGE

The skin wasn't as crispy as I would have liked.   

Tried to crispen in oven after taking off the breasts but need more time for the fat to render.

I cooked it for 4 hours at 225 on a beer-can type of stand to 165F.  Would do again at 325 to render fat better and finish at a higher temperature.

You need a Charbroil Big Easy. Does a great job, at least, on Chinese BBQ duck. The skin is crispy and beautiful mahogany colour.

When a friend hands you a cauliflower you roast it and eat it with some (store-bought) tomato pesto.

A friend was telling me about an old time recipe for spinach-strawberry salad with poppy seed dressing and it sounded good but I didn't want to make anything with it for dinner that would take a lot of time or effort, so when i went to the store to get the stuff for the salad, I saw that strip steaks were on sale and that clinched the deal for me.

He who must be fed went to a corporate dinner last night, so I pigged out on junk food.

That's a BLT with potato gems.

Roasted potato, artichoke and chicken wings.  Need to do a better job of freezer Foodsaver labeling.  I thought they were thighs until they thawed

I've been doing a much better job of labeling my bags with date, cooking time, and temperature...it never occurred to me to note the contents.

Since the meat eater had leftover rib eye steak to keep him happy, I was able to make a rare venture into vegetarian land to make something I wanted. I had been thinking about a butternut squash I had, and how it might make a tasty pasta dish. I knew I did not want chicken broth in the mix because I don't care for it in soup. When I found nothing I wanted to make in my cookbooks, I went hunting on the web, and decided to do this one. I had no fresh sage leaves, which would have been nice, so I used the ground dried sage I did have. I has worried that it would muddy the color too much, but the bright squash was not easily dimmed, and the color was fine. I thought I might not like the garlic element, but did it anyway, so as to keep to the recipe. I won't use garlic again with butternut, but that's just me. I knew enough not to use whole wheat pasta, and subbed in regular Barilla thin spaghetti.

 

Overall, it was interesting and worth trying. But you know what? I found myself wishing for plain butternut nuked and mashed in the skin, with butter and salt like I usually do it, with a side of thin spaghetti with butter, parm and crushed red pepper. I have simple tastes.
