 I am in my beige phase.   Sous vide shoulder of pork gently reheated in a sauce of apples, clarified osmazome*, calvados and cream.  Accompanied by a side of puréed celeriac which was cooked in the Instant Pot pot and puréed in the Thermomix.

Dinner for Two - Shared Platter.

 Moe's favourite salad. He loves this Caesar Salad. I've been making him this salad since 1979.

This one sets the standards by which he judges all other Caesars.

Homemade dressing with coddle egg , homemade croutons and both Roquefort Cheese and Parm Reggiano.

My nephew has an anaphylactic allergy to crustaceans, and his doctor advised him to avoid Chinese restaurants because of the risk of cross contamination.  However, he loves all of that fried pupu stuff you get at American Chinese places, so yesterday my sister cooked up a bunch of pupu foods from scratch.  We made hoisin ribs, vegetable potstickers, chicken fingers, spring rolls, rangoon (with no crab!), and scallion pancakes.  He was thrilled.  This picture is of the platter of leftovers.  We made way too much.  As usual.

That looks pretty lovely too. There would not have been too much had I been there.

 

Don't ask. Eat it.

Thank you!  I recommend using the IP...it's easy and the meat is so tender.  I do the broccoli first on a trivet for 0 mins on high pressure.  Then I remove it (and the trivet) and do everything else.  I add the broccoli back in at the end.

Roast Chook.  It sat in a large pot of brine for 36hrs before hitting the oven.

Beautifully juicy and tender.

That was Sunday dinner.  Chicken and gravy and no need for anything else.

Most of the family have gone home...only daughter and s-i-l here - a quieter supper for the four of us.

Pulled out some beef tenderloin, sliced up, seasoned with frajita seasonings. Cooked up in my cast iron wok.

Fixings were prepare beforehand. Wraps were commercial low carb.

Not worthy of a photograph, but the last of my lobster from The Lobster Place -- via amazon Fresh -- grilled.  A tail and two claws.  Baked potato with sour cream, broccolini.  Lemon juice and drawn butter with the lobster.

 

Digestive:  Chartreuse green V.E.P.

The weather here is misbehaving. We get a few days of evil chill then a few days of gorgeous spring sunshine and high temperatures. So, it is difficult to know what to cook. Hearty winter fare or light spring eating.

 

Today was somewhere in the middle. It looked dull and miserable but wasn't actually that cold. So, a pan-fried 1-10-10 chicken breast and couscous with mint, capers and black olives. There was some yellow pepper in there, too.

A somewhat over done chicken thigh, done in the CSO, with quinoa, black beans (the very last of the coco noir from last summer's garden :sad:), tomato, scallions and corn. Almost the last of last summer's corn too.

Unstuffed cabbage (a Mark Bittman recipe from an old NYTimes magazine) over rice. With salad.

All good save for those nasty sprouts :P

Yes, MUCH more tender.  They were in there for almost 4 hours.

This site sure expands my vocabulary. I had never heard of this before. Interesting.

I believe it's derived from the Hawai'ian word "puu-puu" which, in the Hawai'ian language, has, over time, become another word for "appetizer". It's pronounced as "poo-oo poo-oo".The syllables are spoken distinctly separate, almost like separate words. I believe originally "puu" meant collection or heap (meaning more than one). Over time, it also became shortened/Westernized to just "pu pu" (poo poo).

In western Chinese restaurants, the pupu platter is a collection of appetizers, not just a single appetizer, though it's taken on that meaning today ("Anyone care for some cocktails and pupus?). 

You can read more about what a typical pu pu platter contains here on Wikipedia (click). Click on the accompanying photo on that page to see an elaborate pupu platter (a lot of western Chinese restaurants these days no longer add the mini hibachi in the middle of the platter. They omit it all together).

I did the same thing Saturday night.  Same temp but only for less than 2hours.  I was planing on taking them out sooner but got lazy.

Where you worried about the length of time?
