Down the shore(Wildwood Crest, NJ) and the second place I hit up yesterday was Rea's farm stand.  Mrs. Rea was out of her zucchini relish :(.  I did get some fresh limas and an ear of sweet corn.  Succotash ... I was happy with just succotash but Johnnybird needed more so some shrimp and pasta for him as well.

Nothing is better than frying in lard.

Nothing.  Do not quote me on this.

I've only seen burrata cheese in pictures here...and it always looks so good.  I found some online and purchased it .  Tried it last night.  OH it was good.  Had it along with venison meatballs and my canned green beans.

Second attempt at what I call Blasphemy Ribs and now they are perfect.  I call them blasphemy ribs because usually we cook ribs as full (or half) rack, then cut them up before eating.  These are made by cutting them first, then applying a rub for 6 hours, then smoking at 225F.  Normally a rack of baby backs will smoke for 5 hours at that temp.  These cook much faster.  My first try was 3 hours and that was too much.  They were good, but a bit dry.  This batch was smoked for 2.5 hours and they came out perfect.  Moist, tender and plenty of smoke flavor.

 

This is a closeup of a piece of meat sliced off one of the ribs.  (I swear I took a normal shot of them plated with the green beans, but it's not there.)

Keeping with the Get 'er done style of cooking of recent days.... Beef stew.  Stew meat that I canned- from our cow; carrots- purple, orange and white Belgian- from the garden, potatoes- red and white from the garden...onions from my neighbor.  Plus, garlic cheese biscuits.

This is highly embarrassing, but I used a GFS garlic biscuit mix and added cheese.   :P   I think the Red Lobster garlic mix is available for purchase, and the GFS stuff is similar.    HTH

No worries. I never had "biscuits" like this and won't probably be able to find a ready-made mix for that, but understand that they are popular on your side of the world. I do like the idea, so I'll check for a recipe and give it a try...

I've made these at home for years. The Cheddar Bay Biscuits and salad are the only things that are still edible at our Red Lobster chain restaurants anymore.

 

Red Lobster actually used to offer recipes on their own website, but don't anymore.

 

Here is the recipe I use that I got off the Red Lobster site many years ago and have adapted:

 

Cheddar Bay Biscuits

 

2 c Bisquick

2/3 c milk

1 c shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 t dried parsley flakes

1/4 c butter melted

1/4 t garlic powder

 

Mix Bisquick, cheese and parsley, add milk, mixing only until combined. Spoon or scoop onto an ungreased baking sheet (makes about 12). Bake at 425 F/218 C for 8-10 minutes. Meanwhile, melt butter and stir in garlic powder. Brush or drizzle biscuits with garlic butter after they come out of the oven.

 

If you can't get Bisquick, which is a baking mix with flour, hydrogenated shortening, salt and baking powder in Hong Kong, just use 2 c AP flour, 1 t salt, 1 T baking powder and cut in 6 T butter before you stir in the cheese and parsley flakes.

 

I tried cooking fresh crushed garlic in the melted butter once, but this is one place where the garlic powder actually works a lot better.

 

These are really, really good!

No bisquick here, but I'll give the Ersatz version a go - thank you, TftC !!

Steamed red drum (白龙鱼 bái lóng yú; literally 'white dragon fish). Steamed with Shaoxing wine, garlic, ginger, chilli, scallions, shiitake mushrooms and loofah. With rice.

A tasty fish, but I easily ate the whole thing myself. Would need one per person if entertaining.

 

(With thanks to the people over on the Fish Identification topic.)

@liuzhou I had always wondered about steaming fish with aromatics on the plate next to it.  Does the aroma/flavor of the chilis get into the fish, or do they just get cooked alongside for the purpose of being eaten with the fish?

 

If inserted into cuts in the flesh they do flavour the fish, but subtly. There is also garlic and ginger in the cavity.
