Dinner 2018

[Dante]

Tonight's dinner: Shrimp and grits

[JoNorvelleWalker]

Polenta with some of the leftover meat sauce from Bugialli's lasagne forno.

 

 

 

I know polenta is cooked in a copper pot but it turns out rather green.

 

 

 

[HungryChris]

Keep it simple Friday here.

 Chicken and leek in a miso and honey sauce. In the small glass bowl is the last of my Asian pear pickle.

[liuzhou]

Stir-fried chicken and black fermented beans, with "flower" shiitake and asparagus. Rice.

 

The chicken was marinated with garlic, ginger, chilli and Shaoxing wine.

Just finished up some flower shiitake mushrooms found in an Asian store by a friend. Much meatier than the ones we normally get in the supermarket.

Just want to say - sorry for being the weirdo that has liked everyones standard Tuesday night dinner from three weeks ago, I'm not being a stalker, just catching up. Wish I hadn't. 

You guys are so amazing. There is not one post that hasn't made me go 'Jeez I wish I had that right now' (okay maybe some of the ones with liver or tomato but still there was a tomato tainted Turkey sandwich I would  destroy). 

Any way long story short. Keep doing what you are all doing it's inspiring... or at the very least hunger inducing - and if anyone wants to invite me round for dinner I'll be there in 5. 

 

 

What 5 amounts to depends on location

Actually, depending on your species of fiddleheads, the toxin should be known. Most common is Ptaquiloside, which is not only shows acute toxicity but is also a strong carcinogen. During my academic years I tried to synthesize the aglycon via a new reaction sequence I was developing. Never worked out, but left me with a curiosity how great fiddleheads must actually taste so that I would overcome my prejudice to try them. Until today that curiosity remains ...

Western fiddleheads and eastern fiddleheads are from different ferns, and the west-coast version is apparently rather rougher on the digestion. The ones we get here are perfectly safe, as long as you're not an unreasoning devotee of vegetables cooked "tender-crisp." Just cook 'em all the way, and you're good to go. Comparisons to fugu are pretty over-the-top.

 

Reflect that cassava is downright lethal in its raw state, but when properly handled is one of the world's major staples. Fiddleheads are nowhere close to playing in that league, as toxicity goes.

Brisket with fries and zucchini casserole

 

 

 

[liamsaunt]

My husband and I got very sick from fiddleheads some years ago.  I suspect I prepared them incorrectly.  Now when they are available in local markets there's always a sign next to them saying to boil for ten minutes and then drain, rinse, and saute them for another period of time.  I have not been brave enough to try them again.  They do taste very good.

 

The other night, veggie burgers and oven fries

 

 

Last night, tacos

 

[gfweb]

I don't think you need to worry about an apology for that. At least, if you do, then I owe a whole lot of people a whole lot of apologies. This particular topic is like  a bullet train. You turn away from the computer long enough to take a drink of your beer and when you turn back, it's moved forward 3 or 4 pages. Add in me forgetting to check in on it for a couple days and I have to play catch-up all the time. 

[chefmd]

Prime beef really marbled strip steaks and potatoes.  77 degrees outside.  Just perfect.

[robirdstx]

 

Teriyaki Chicken Thigh Meat, Carrot and Red Onion with Stir-Fried Asparagus Donburi (forgot to finish with the Green Onion that was waiting in the fridge) and Teriyaki Mushrooms 

[HungryChris]

Deb took her grandson down the street to the town beach today. He was full of himself and just not cooperative, as much as he does love swimming there. I had a feeling that she would need a bit of special treatment to bring her around to being the person I love living with. I have learned that lobster is the best way to get there. The fathers day special solved that problem and I was at the ready to make that happen. She spent most of the dinner making the "when Harry met Sally" noises, which let me know I had done the right thing.

Anniversary dinner for one,  my wife is 3 states away....  Pork Chop and Potatoes.

 

 

It's some fancy bread pork, cuz it's GOOD.  I cooked to 140F via sous vide, potatoes were steamed in steam oven and then mixed with some cream.  Not pictures, 2012 syrah

Oh my..My...MY! Amazing duck legs...and rhubarb kimichi! This might be kimchi that I'd really enjoy...

Pre- Father's Day dinner here for hubby...before the kids swoop in tomorrow!

Pulled out a package of AAA Angus rib steaks from the back of the beef basket (still could do a "Cook Your Way Thru' the Freezer)...seasoned with Montreal Steak Spice and thrown on the BBQ. Sauteed mushrooms and a salad made the meal just fine...

Was just wondering. Were the shiitake your friend found fresh or dried. I like both, but they are different. The fresh are even more meaty.
