Well this one is ironic.  The first dish I did last night, a Grilled Halibut with Red Chile Sauce and a "Green" rice using some of the fire-roasted Hatch chiles I got last weekend.  And when I went to look in my archives at eGullet to see if I had posted about the Red Chile Sauce before, I found another dish from the dinner thread back in 2014.....

Red Chile Sauce, September 2018-

Tenderloin with Red Chile Sauce, Mashed Potato and Roasted Poblano & Corn Salad-

And I hope after all these years, the food photography skills have shown a little improvement.....

Always amazing food posted here.  

 

Tonight was a hodgepodge of leftovers from this weekend.  Have a friend that owns a few Sonny’s BBQ.   His stores are a big notch above the rest.  

 

BBQ chicken and mashed sweet potatoes with a quick salad of shredded romain and raw brussels

Raw baby bok choy

 Can’t say that I’ve ever thought of eating bok choy raw. Did you find an alternate use for the stems? I’m just curious. I have some baby bok choy in the refrigerator and I will certainly be sampling it raw.

Just treat it like any other salad green. I de-stem it for salads but you don't really need to. I use the stems in soups and stocks etc.

Chicken hot pot. This was loosely based on a recipe in Donabe: Classical and Modern Japanese Claypot Cooking.

A little meat glue action tonight. I used a dusting of transglutaminase on  chicken breast, with the tenderloin flipped around to achieve a more cylindrical shape, wrapped with thick cut bacon.  Vacuum bagged overnight and oven roasted.

Having tooth issues, so soft foods the last few days:

Pickerel Fish 'n' Chips with curry gravy

A friend gave me beets, already cooked, ventured into Borscht land

The "Beet friend" is a potter and I love using her platters and casseroles. I can bake in them and platters keep the food hot...while I take pictures before we can eat.
Her husband loves Steak 'n' Kidney pie but the rest of the family do not, so I made him a pie in one of his wife's casseroles. The whole family ended up eating the pie!

Shepherd's Pie was also made in one of my friend's casseroles.  Thought we'd have enough for two meals, then our son showed up...NO leftovers!

A former colleague came for a visit tonight, and I made Paella -  it was her first taste of this dish. I let her have the crusty bits

Dessert was cherry pie!
