Last night's dinner.

Grilled a Porterhouse steak to share with Moe. I got the tenderloin portion. 

Served with roasted potatoes with mushrooms, onions, peppers and garlic. Seasoned with salt, pepper and basil.

 

The side looks very nice. How did you cook that? Thanks

Coconutty, fish curry (cod) and rice. There was a side of greenery which didn't get photographed.

Nice!

But mostly felt compelled to share this:

Every time I walk past the stall, which is most days, there is a sad selection of veg wilting in the sun, My pet rabbit would probably turn it down, if I hadn’t stir-fried her.

Coffee came out my nose when I came to the end of that sentence.  It's from ...your dancing child with his Chinese suit., the blog linked at the bottom of liuzhou's posts. If you're not reading it, you're missing out.

@liuzhou Is cod local (or relatively so) to China?

 

It's certainly common. All my local supermarkets have it, both fresh and frozen. I only buy the fresh. I guess it's Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus).

My take on James Beard’s iconic onion sandwich here.  No parsley.

And which delightful Modernist Bread do we have here? 

ETA - sorry, just went back and saw from your post in the Modernist Bread thread that it's the sandwich bread - looks good!

A few recent meals. I’ve branched out (only slightly) from our all Indian diet, to include Sri Lankan food. 

 

Chicken wing curry, dal parripu, stir fried snow peas, potato curry with yellow rice and paratha. On the side, coconut sambal and homemade mango chutney.

A different chicken curry, green beans curry, coconut sambal, potatoes with dill, dal, served with rice and pappads.

Yet another chicken curry, mixed veggie curry, stir fried asparagus, dal, served with rice and homemade coconut roti, plus coconut sambal and mango chutney on the side.

Here’s a shameless plug for my mini foodblog “Tasting Sri Lanka” which can be found on the Elsewhere in Asia/Pacific dining forum. This link might work.

More fish

 

Pan sautéed red snapper at med low heat in butter.   Much better texture than last nights snapper. Soft and moist.   Unlike the grouper we had the other night the lower fat snapper got a little dry when cooked at a high temp.  

 

Side is shredded brussel sprouts

Another late dinner. As soon as the SIL texted that he was leaving work, the baked potatoes went in the oven. His half hour drive home and Deb's half hour drive home meant they would be ready just about the time she got home, and her well done, and my very rare T-bone could be coordinated. Mine takes 6 minutes, Deb's takes 18.

Steak, kidney and mushroom pie without the pie, because of the much mourned decease of my oven. Still, an OK dinner. Added chilli and Thai fish sauce.

Once again, I neglected to photograph the side dish - cauliflower. I was too hungry to hang around taking pictures for your gratification while everything got cold!

So ... been a long day. I have my parents  visiting which makes me really happy. Took them out for excellent sushi dinner, put my son in the bath and did all my household duties. Now, with two Old Fashioned's done and a potential one accompanying me for the latest episode of "Discovery" on Netflix I have to admit I get the munchies ...

"Emergency Reuben": Modernist Bread's Lean French bread, pastrami, Hengstenberg's mild Sauerkraut and Tete de Moine filling in for the Swiss. Mix of Kewpie mayo, Heinz ketchup and Löwensenf hot mustard instead for moistening.

Served on the ever so popular IKEA blue plastic plate (as it one the only clean dish in the house) ...

Deb had to babysit until past eight pm last night. Dinner was a Greek salad and Red Lobster Cheddar Bay biscuits. They bake in about 15 minutes and I put them in the oven as soon as I heard her pull into the garage.

Yeah me too but when I look on Amazon the quantities are such that I would have to eat biscuits every day and for every meal for the rest of my natural life to even come close to justifying such purchase. I did see the mix in a supermarket so I may be lucky enough to get back there and buy a single box.

Actually ... 

I'll be on business trip to the States next month for the first time in years. I have that mix on my shopping list. PM me your address and I'll send you one pack :)

 Thank you so much. Yours is the second offer. The other one is much much closer to me and she won’t even have to mail it! And, I’m not in the States, I’m in Canada and who knows if it would ever get through customs. White powder and all you know. xD

Well noted and of course I am aware where you live ... Though shipping white powders from Hong Kong is not that unusual, I see the potential issues. You still have about four weeks to think it through :raz:

Duvel,

I lingered over that biscuit mix when I was in the grocery store earlier in the week.  I've been told before that it's really good though I've never tried it.  I think I will now, having seen yours!  There's no Red Lobster within several hours drive from here.
