Dinner 2017 (Part 2)

[JoNorvelleWalker]

Not the meal I had originally intended.  A mashup of Peruvian and Yankee cookery.  Peruvian chicken, French fries, and green sauce.  Green beans and cranberry sauce.  When the French fries ran out, some mashed potatoes.

 

Dessert is a Bolivian glass of Singani.  Or a glass of Bolivian Singani...something like that.

Dinner last night was inspired first by my desire for some really bold flavours and only secondly by what was on hand. Zucchini noodles, blue cheese, bacon, tomatoes--umami +++++  It did the trick.

We had salad night....a challenge in the dead of winter here in the sticks lol.  I had quite a bit of leftover tuna steaks and decided to make tuna salad.  I did some chick peas in the IP --they are Rancho Gordo.  I love them on salads.

Just killing time here while listening to some "Linus and Lucy" and other songs waiting for my panade to reach a point when I can add my meat and make meatballs.  Then they go into the fridge for an hour or so and into the marinara I made yesterday.

@suzilightning Listening to Guaraldi tunes always adds a nice touch while cooking.

I just recently learned that Guaraldi's drummer from those days moved to my hometown of Halifax, and has been teaching and playing sporadically around the city for decades.

It's still too hot to cook...so another antipasto platter. 

This one featuring a King Island dairy roaring forties blue, ham, hot sopressa, Sicilian lemon garlic olives, tiny radishes, bocconcini, avocado and mango relish. Served with dark rye bread.

 

I'm itching to try out some of my new indian ingredients, maybe today it will be cooler.

I tried a different recipe for pot roast today. It was a NY Times recipe for Japanese Style Pot Roast from Mark Bittman.

Pork in red curry made with sous vide country ribs, cubanelles, red pepper and onions on jasmine rice. The TJ's red curry has a great flavor, but lacks the heat I want, hence the chili oil. Just about a teaspoon adds the heat I like.

@rotuts No, the green things are not bell peppers. They are cubanelles, much like an Italian sweet frying pepper. The TJ's red curry is something I always have on hand for a quick red curry meal that, I think, has some great flavor.

Vegetable soup and pimiento cheese on wheat Ritz crackers. Details on the soup topic.

 

 

Pork roast marinated in a Cajun spice dry rub and braised in beer (Abita Amber, since it was Cajun spice!) in the IP. Steam-baked sweet potato wedges. Crowder peas, frozen last summer. Mac and cheese. I had homemade rolls, but ate mine hot, while waiting for the kids to get her for dinner.

I was feeling a bit delicate in the digestive system today, so I wanted something relatively simple. Brined and pan-fried a chicken breast by the 1-10-10 method. Fried some rice with chopped spinach. Seasoned with shichimi togarishi. Feel better already.

@rotutsI am fond of the TJ's shrimp pot stickers as well, but I like them with a dip composed of soy (Kikkoman), minced green onion, a splash of rice wine vinegar and sesame oil. If I can muster up a side of ginger and garlic stir fried baby bok choy, all the better!

Made Moe Green Peppercorn steak with Parisienne Potatoes and asparagus last night for dinner. 

 The steak had been presalted on Thursday.

A few years ago when we were having a brutal summer I set up a complete kitchen (as far as cooking goes) on my patio. Is that, at some level,  an option for you?

 

Large BBQ, main stove and sink, lower-power stove, and small BBQ.

Pineapple fried rice
