Host's note: this topic is broken into segments to improve server efficiency.  The previous segment is here.

 

 

This is the Baked Romanesco Broccoli With Mozzarella and Olives from the NY Times.  @kayb recently posted her cauliflower adaptation over here on the dinner thread where she declared the recipe a keeper and I agree.

I picked up a head of Romanesco broccoli at last week's farmers market for this purpose.  I didn't add any additional salt but with the olives, anchovies, capers and pecorino Romano cheese, it was plenty salty enough to perk up a few slices of chicken breast.

Edited to add that the other thing I did differently was to briefly microwave the broccoli (instead of blanching in salted water) then tossed it with the olive, anchovy, caper, red pepper, olive oil mixture instead of drizzling that over the top.

I had a duck carcase with some attached meat so made a stock with that and an onion and some ginger.

Strained it then stripped meat from carcase. Put stock through muslin to fully strain, then added the duck meat, chopped potato* and carrot, shiitake mushrooms and jujubes. Lots of white pepper for a kick. Served with home made soda bread. A meal soup.

 

*I have loved duck and potato together since I was served a duck hotpot which contained potato in a roadside shack in China some twenty years ago.

They were very good but before you even think about it make sure you have a baking dish that you can line  with foil or parchment or be prepared to spend some time cleaning the pan!

Sous vide pork with squash.  Pork was a couple of end pieces from the loin that was cooked when we had people over.  While not pretty, these pieces were very tasty.  Pork loin was cooked at 137 degrees for 3 hours.

Doesn't look like much but it's two frozen eggrolls reheated in the Cuisinart Steam Oven (CSO) and they were almost as good as new.  When I finally get room in my freezer, my only item when I call

 for Chinese takeout will be two dozen of these things!

Have you ever tried the egg rolls in Costo's frozen section?  They're very good.

 Can't say as I have.  I wonder if they are the same in the Canadian Costco stores as you are getting.

Leftover Shakshuka with Golden Tomatoes & Goat Cheese from Melissa Clark's Dinner with some of the Nan-E-Barbari from Hot Bread Kitchen:

IMG_5887.thumb.jpg.ee9f7a63c77e2f4e02ca083e48d92093.jpg

I made the Shakshuka for breakfast yesterday and cooked the eggs in the mix of yellow peppers and tomatoes but wolfed down my portion before taking a photo to post.

For today's lunch, I warmed up the leftover vegetables, added some sautéed yellow summer squash and orange cherry tomatoes and fried the egg.

Oh, man. Now you've got me wanting barbecue. And although GOOD 'cue is available four blocks from my house, I can't do it, because I have a dinner guest tonight and I'm grilling shrimp and I don't want to ruin my appetite.

 

I made do with a bowl of watermelon.

When I saw that we had no eggs, I decided to skip breakfast to stack the latest batch of firewood before the sun came over the house. I finished up just as the sun started to shine on me. Lunch had become an issue by that time. A kimchi and mortadella sandwich and a zucchini, cucumber, avocado, tomato, onion and pickled pepper salad with a few pickled pig ears for good measure. I almost had a beer, but decided to make a trip to Aldi for a few of the 46 cent per dozen fresh eggs and while making the sandwich realized we need Dijon mustard too.

BTW, I decided to call the nearest stack "January" and the one behind it,  "February".
