So, @kayb, how were those parties? :D

 

I failed to mention I had a gracious plenty of wine. However, none of my football teams cooperated by winning. Well, one did, but they weren't on TV.

Couple of wings from a purchased rotisserie chicken that I had tossed into the freezer a week or so ago. Reheated in the Cuisinart steam oven at 325°F on steam bake for 15 minutes. Probably should have gone higher to crisp the skin. But they were juicy and tasty. That oven really does excel at re-heating leftovers.

 Gift of tomatoes (Yes, I know, it’s not summer and these were not summer tomatoes). But a little pre-salting and the promise of 3 grains of sugar, some good bacon (which you can’t see but it’s there) and some excellent bread ......(If I don’t blow my own horn on the Modernist Bread....)

That toasty bread does look awfully good, @Anna N!

 

Steak sandwich

IMG_6377.thumb.jpg.f15b4307f05b1b80e35faa58b66a80b7.jpg

Toasty warm roll (take & bake panini roll from Trader Joe's) spread lightly with a mix of horseradish & mayo, mix of baby kale, Swiss chard & spinach sautéed with garlic, thinly sliced and re-warmed ribeye steak, fresh cremini & dried porcini mushrooms sautéed as per Diana Henry's Boozy Mushrooms on Toast - finished with a splash of sherry - all topped with a sprinkle of crispy fried onions (from a can :D).  Fresh tomato wedges.

Really don't know what to call this sandwich on Parisian bread with kimchi, mortadella and Swiss, cooked like a Panini. Francoaisianstein Panini? The next time I make it, and I will, I will dice the kimchi. The flavor was excellent, but it was a bit of a chore to eat.

Like HC I had kimchi on my mind. It’s been on my mind for weeks. Finally, I have kimchi. 

 

...and a sweet dumpling squash and some mushrooms. What more could one need?

 

 I roasted the squash with some gochujang, chopped up some kimchi and tossed it with the roasted squash to heat it through.  I separately roasted some mushrooms. Lunch.

The last of my leftover rib-eye.

IMG_6390.thumb.jpg.151e73a949a59387cfca24fa77c7fd48.jpg

Toasted ciabatta, rubbed with a garlic clove and spread with mayo & horseradish.  Thinly sliced steak warmed on steam-bake in the CSO - I like to put fat-trimmings on top of the meat slices in the oven to keep them juicy.

Not as fancy as yesterday's sandwich but mighty tasty.

Never thought of gochujang with sweet squash. Thanks. I'll try that.

We had a family Thanksgiving dinner at my cousins' last Sunday and I've had turkey sandwiches on my mind ever since. 

Lacking leftover turkey, I did the next best thing and roasted a chicken.  First step was to remove a wing for QC.  

IMG_6393.thumb.jpg.bcacb67311875e2f9091e9048422dcee.jpg

 

QC passed so I grabbed a leg and part of a thigh, still warm,  to tear up and put on some lightly toasted ciabatta, spread with mayo:

If I'm offered leftover turkey from the Friendsgiving dinner I'm attending tomorrow, I won't refuse but for the moment - the itch is scratched xD

Stress free Thanksgiving and no dishes for us to wash! Thankful that a few restaurants are open for business (and hoping that generous tips make it a good day for those who are working).

 

My group had and enjoyed the tomato pie, mac & cheese, country fried steak, mashed potatoes & gravy, and black eyed peas.  No room for dessert — maybe after dinner.

Those manjuba are cute little fish, @Auro. Do they have any flavor that is distinctive? For instance - are they oily, strong, mild, salty? Your sushi platter looks delicious.

 Sautéed peppers and onions with sausages. Sausages were cooked sous vide and then browned stovetop.

Today was MB Hamberger Buns with turkey confit (left over from T-Day),

 

I heated the turkey in the steam oven, got it too hot I think - so next time I'll reheat sous vide with a little duck fat in the bag.

 

We  used Turkey stock thickened with wondra for Gravy.

 

Bus are awesome - but the real test will be dinner.

Smithy manjuba forms large shoals for mating in the spring.
They have a mild, oily taste.

In Brazil the Caiçaras, the traditional population of the coastal regions of the southeast and south of Brazil.

Eat they fried.

It's a nice fish and tasty to eat in sushi.

 Found some tricolor orzo while on a mission to find Modernist bread ingredients  and cooked it up today to enjoy with a meatball tajia that was lurking in my freezer.
