Dinner 2018

Tried a new recipe tonight - Chicken Escabeche from Bon Appetit - Sept. 2017

It was great. Didn't have serrano pepper but I did have jalapeno. Don't like raisins, but I do like craisins.

@ElsieD: My order for the Zeroodle Shirataki Rice with Oat Bran came today! I stir-fried some with egg and sesame oil, and it was good! What a nice change from cauliflower rice.

That was the crispiest skin I've ever gotten out of the CSO.. Did 20 minutes on steam bake at 425F, and then another 15-18 just on convection bake at same temp.

 Wow that’s an awfully long time!  But I’m guessing they remained juicy and tender?But I’m guessing they remained juicy and tender?

They did - and it's more the way my wife likes her chicken cooked; that is, a little more than I do, but I acquiesce every now and then :D .

I'm with you, @Kim Shook

I can't stand crispy crunchy green beans.

Green beans should be simmered all day long with some chopped up bacon or fatback in salted water (not too much...the bacon is salty) until they're a tired, dull, limpy green-ish color. Now that's how you cook green beans.;) xD

I'm swooning over your beautiful egg yolks with no green ring. Were they done in the Instant Pot?

Dinner last night was at my Nieces...was a great evening of good food, good wine and chocolate pudding for dessert!

Started with garlic toasts and bruschetta

Main was the creamiest mushroom risotto and grilled fennel.

@Dejah  Did you dry the rice first?  I do that now with both the rice and the noodles.  It's amazing how much liquid still gets absorbed after drainng it in a colander.

Yes. I remember your advice on that, then also noticed on the package.
Do they have to be refrigerated? I have 9 packages left and 4 of penne. I DO have them in my small condiments fridge at the moment.

Oh Norm!  I remember my first tempura at a dinner party when I was maybe 14 (remember those) given by a neighbor.  Adventurous Caucasian woman. She did it well and it was paced simply by the logistics of only so much going into oil at once. We ate a ton. On a similar note my mom and a friend did a fondue party that had the cheese style but also the boiling oil for skewered beef! It was dramatic :)

@heidih Not too much at a time is right. It all gets stuck together if you put to much in at once and the oil cools down too much as well.  We still have fondue once in a blue moon too.  If I recall, last time we used boiling broth instead of oil for the meat.

"Nasty, crunchy green beans"?  They look a little over cooked to me.

 

 

Green beans are nasty In general. Under or overcooked or whatever. Tasteless vegetation.  A vehicle for sauce at best.

I would defy that, with a bowl of Kentucky Wonders simmered low and slow with a ham hock.

 

But to each his own.

How would they be without the ham hock?
