@Kerry Beal glad you are done at the hospital for the day!  Looks like the dinner Anna made reheated very well.

 

What are your planned caramel experiments / what solutions are you aiming for? Nice looking mold from Chef Rubber -- is it the same size as Jin's mold?

I believe it is the same mold.

 Chicken thighs cooked in the Cuisinart steam oven and a salad of tomato, onion and parsley with a tahini dressing.  I mellowed out the onion in salted water for half an hour and I used @shain's recipe for making the tahini dressing (see the recipe for shakshuka).

 I left everything ready for Kerry when she finally makes it home.   

 

 

If anything convinces me to find/make the space for a CSO, it will be pictures like this.

Toasted ciabatta bun (Ace Bakery), caramelized onion cheddar and a tomato, onion & preserved lemon salad with more tahini dressing. This is the first time I have ever eaten preserved lemons though I have made many batches before. I am a bit anal and they always seemed off in either looks or smell. These look lovely and smell like lemons. I might easily become a huge fan.

my boring breakfast - toast, cheddar, hero apricot spread


Doesn't look boring to me. I've been a fan of cheese and jam or jelly on toasted items for many years. Gouda with gooseberry jam is a personal favorite.

I brought up some Honey Roasted Pecans that I found in the bargain bin at Fortino's. Figured they would make good turtle feet.

A fair number of broken nuts in the container - so they are making Pecairns!

 

Later today I shall adorn them with milk chocolate. 

 

Our attempts to build Canuckshooks were an abject failure - they kept falling over!

Edited by Kerry Beal
to correct the spelling of pecairns so it is spelled correctly (log)

 You probably think we do nothing but grocery shop up here and you'd probably be close to right but when you're performing experiments you have to keep the lab fully stocked.   And if you were going to buy stuff to make caramel you know you're going to get tempted by things that don't make very good caramel. 

 

I frequently hear people complain about strawberries in January but how about pomegranates in July? Yep they were in the store today.

 

 The pork tenderloin you see in the above photographs is now swimming in a little Sous Vide bath with the Joule  and will be finished on the LGE (Little Green Egg) in the pouring rain.

I'm cooking a boneless pork loin today. It's spent the past almost 48 hours in my Jamaican jerk marinade. My brain kept telling me to toss it in the sous vide tank, especially with all the dark clouds that have been floating through today, but I really wanted it to go in the smoker. So I'm risking it and hoping the rain stays away as forecasted. Doesn't look too promising at times though.

I call the ice cream sandwiches!!!!!

 

I could eat that whole box right now.

One of the few things from the freezer that the rug rat will eat - she finds ice cream a bit of a challenge. She gets quite excited when she sees them come out of the freezer.

MJ dates in a can ?

Oops. They are not medjools!  Damn.  Packaging is the same.  Never mind they are perfectly good dates.

if this is not what you are referring to the cans behind the The condensed and evaporated milks are club soda and tonic water.

  That would be horseradish. Ask away.  My photos were rather poor.
