Baja Grilled Fish Tacos with Black Beans and Rice at  Kregger’s Tap and Table in Ashland, VA.

 

 

 

Welcome home!!!!  See you tomorrow!

Not so early morning late work night dinner.  Some avocados are good, some avocados are perfect.  This warranted the 25 year balsamic.

 

Followed by 51 deg C fillet seared with the smoke detector off.  Served with 10 minute wild rice.  In my youth I boiled wild rice for forty or fifty minutes.  Age brings wisdom.

 

Sometimes life is a bowl of cherries.

One day business trip to Tokyo ... flight was heavily delayed so I just went out around 22.30h to grab a bite to eat. There is a little Izakaya I like and funny enough the chefs remember me from the 3 or 4 times I have been there in the last year. I ordered pretty much the same as everytime: Horse sashimi, grilled spicy fish eggs (mentaiko) and deep fried sprats ...

 

 

The chef recommended me to try the fried chicken leg. I was sceptical, as fried chicken leg topped with crispy garlic is pretty much standard fare in Hong Kong. But boy, was that chicken good. Turns out they marinate it with kelp and miso and then deep fry it in chicken fat. Yup, chicken fat. Kind of quick confit. It tasted like a chicken that had fallen in a pot of MSG when it was little. And then fell into a pot of hot schmaltz just now. Damn, I need to make that at home ...

 

 

P.S.: I love those seats ...

@liamsaunt  Walleye is a fresh water fish--very clean and white.  Like bass only better.  More "meaty" filets.  

 

Venison meatloaf sandwiches last night

I will re make this  for the Recipe ( section ) / what I did /  but this is my work sheet

@liamsaunt, do you have a recipe you can share for the shawarma? I have saved several, but have never tried to make it.

Peri Peri Chicken done on the Kamado served with Spanish rice.

It was delicious.

[kayb]

What you eat when it was 99 degrees with 94 percent humidity, when you got home at 3 after being on the road all day:

 

 

Chicken salad, marinated veggies, and sliced tomatoes.

 

Love this marinated veggies/refrigerated pickles recipe. Keeps forever, and o periodically add any hard veggie to the brine, which is vinegar, sugar and fresh thyme and oregano. This has cucumbers, onions, carrots and radishes. Chicken salad has shredded chicken breast, Greek yogurt, mayo, scallions, smoked paprika and cumin. I usually put chopped bacon, but I forgot.

to add scallions. (log)

Few left over roasted potatoes sliced into coins.  Topped with mistery meat rescued from left over office pizza.  Added crumbled blue cheese and feta that were past their prime.  Sprinkled with fresh thyme, thank god there was something fresh on this dish:). Steam baked in CSO 325 degrees 15 minutes.  It was tasty!  @liuzhou, please notice the color on those potatoes.  Not quite fluorescent but close

Leftover balsamic Chicken and mashed potatoes with Texas Toast .

Nice!

[scubadoo97]

Used the CSO again trying to feel it out.   Picked up a side of Cobia today and portioned it out.   Used the steam broil function on both a vegetable combo of fennel and carrots then did the fish.   Missed the hard sear I would get from a pan and felt the fish lacked "life".  Kinda boring but texture was okay.  The veg on the other hand was lovely 

 

[kayb]

I have always had better luck with fish on convection bake.

Thanks.  I still have 4 more portions to work with

I do like hot weather dining and I am developing a style of cooking just for it. It involves getting everything done early in the day and into the chill of the fridge. It is nice to have all the cooking out of the way, serve everything cold, and all but last minute assembly required. Here is my latest example. Buffalo wings, potato salad, smoked salmon spread, ripe brie, chicken liver pate, marinated artichoke hearts, deviled eggs and watermelon sticks.

Smoked Boneless Short Ribs with Whipped Potatoes and French Beans at the Iron Horse Restaurant  in Ashland, VA. Three of the eight in our party ordered this dish and everyone loved it.

 

 

I could not decide which view I liked better, so you get both. This was so good! Fork tender beef, crispy beans and really, really good whipped potatoes with a Brandy-peppercorn Demi-glace.

 

 

[liuzhou]

 

 

Thai-style beef with mango.

 

 

The beef was marinated in nam plah (fish sauce), garlic and chilli. Fried with shallots, then mango and scallions were added. A drizzle of water to prevent it drying out too much. Served with steamed asparagus and rice. The sweetness of the mango contrasts with the sour of the nam plah. Sweet and sour beef, I suppose

 

 

Happy mouth.

I'm going to try to do the same thing.  It was 81 degrees in the kitchen at about 5 last night.  I have chores to do this morning but hopefully I can get back in the kitchen early enough to fry up some chicken for tonight.

 

Last night all I was hungry for was a salad--and a tater salad made from our first potatoes from the garden.
