Dinner 2018

[JoNorvelleWalker]

Tonight:

 

 

 

Red-cooked pork from Phoenix Claws and Jade Trees.  The remarkable thing is that I could make this.  The trick is not to assay the pork stock and the braise on the same day.

 

[chefmd]

Chicken thighs and scallions marinated in soy sauce and Lao Gan Ma, pan fried, served over brown rice 

[liamsaunt]

Sunday,  chopped salad

 

 

and an enchilada bake.  There were two skillets, one chicken and one beef.  This is the beef.

 

 

Last night, fried haddock sandwich.  My CSF gave me so much haddock that we will have to have it for dinner again this evening.

Dinner last night was a low tech favorite. Salami grinders with cabbage.

What is this?  I assume it's a wet grinder, but which brand, and do you like it?  I've been thinking of getting one to make curry paste at home - I just don't have the patience to pound away for 30-40 minutes to make it the traditional way.

Premier.  Yes, I like it.  The problem is I have to grind a couple pounds of nuts at a time to get a decent yield.  (They do make smaller ones.)

 

And, oh, did I mention it is heavy?

Finally home after too long on the road.  Quick stir-fry with carrots, broccoli, snap peas, water chestnuts (from a frozen veggie mix), mushrooms, bok choy, noodles and char siu.  Sauce with soy, hoisin sauces, ginger, garlic ad a touch of red pepper flakes.

Thai grilled chicken.  I have been looking all around for Tamarind paste and finally ordered it on line but it didn't get here yet so I used a tamarind glaze which had other ingredients.  

[chefmd]

Hanger steak rare with sautéed cabbage (actually rescued coleslaw).

 

[Orbit]

Grilled sockeye salmon with butter and dill

 

[HungryChris]

Why do taco shells come in 12 packs? I make 12, knowing fully well that 4 will go home alone.

So glad to see someone else likes the crunchy corn taco shells.

[Smithy]

@HungryChris, I just tried making quesadillas with some tequila chicken I'd cooked and some cheeses I had around. Looking at your photo, I wish I'd opted for crunchy taco shells instead. Those tacos look delicious.

I made a 1000g batch of dough yesterday and used half in three baguettes this morning and the other half tonight

to make two pizzas.

One Greek style.  My son's favourite.

Topped with seasoned potatoes.

And one for Moe and I

 

topped with Italian Sausage and mushrooms. 

[Dejah]

@Ann_T: Ah...mazing pizza!

 

Tonight was a "cleaning out the bits and pieces in the fridge" kinda surf and turf: leftover piece of steak, a few shrimp, wayyy too many bell peppers, and avocado. Tossed everything together with fajita seasoning and an extra toss of cumin in the cast iron wok. Eaten with low-carb Protein-Up flatbread and guacamole.

and haddock smothered in mushrooms with rice pilaf

Monday's dinner- maple sausage with broccoli and greens, in butter masala sauce, over orzo. Aka "what I could make with what I had laying around in the fridge"

Last night's dinner: Rigatoni with tomato sauce with onion, bacon, black pepper, and balsamic vinegar

Thanks, @ElsieD

I browned about 9 oz. of lean ground beef with garlic, cumin, chili powder and S & P. Divided that up amongst the shells, covered that with fresh pica de gallo ( 1 large Roma tomato, equal amount of  diced sweet onion, a tsp. of ground cumin, a dash of salt, the juice of half a lime and about 2 TBS of finely chopped cilantro). I covered that with sharp cheddar cheese and put it the oven (350 F for 10  minutes) and served it with fresh salsa, more pica de gallo, and finely shredded cabbage.

Frantically digging to get the garden started for this year. Found some more of these surprises from last winter. Nice reward for a hard day's work.
