 I bet you will enjoy it!

Grilled chicken breasts, yams, and white corn on the cob. Corn was left in its husk to keep it moist. Cut off the cob, mixed with diced avocado, tomatoes, cilantro, roasted red pepper, lime juice, chile, couple of drops of coconut aminos instead of salt.

Tonight was mostly boring, 12 yr old aged cheddar for me, some younger cheest for my wife - with crackers, olives, and nuts.

 

But our Bulgarian Carrot pepper plant finally produced 2 ripe peppers!!!!

 

So salsa was made, and it's hot and very yummy!

So tonight is just some salsa food porn ;)

Three minute pizza.  Good it was.  Through the miracle of modern engineering I managed to land the pizza directly on the steel.  I built the pizza on a Silpat.  The peel is long enough that I didn't char my arms nor set fire to my hair.  Now I have a four foot Exo Super Peel in my bed and I fear I may roll over in the night.

Pork marinated in Shaoxing wine with garlic, ginger, chilli and a touch of potato starch. Fried with sliced leeks and jade gill mushrooms. Finished with a splash of soy sauce and a drizzle of sesame oil. Served with rice, of course.

Since we really don't have any good Chinses restaurants in our area, I just make what I've got a taste for at home.  Last night I made Chinese BBQ Pork Lo Mein to satisfy a craving for Chinese-American.  But then I always make something that my family and friends would say is "adventurous" and probably not even try it thinking that bottled, pickled lettuce with a Chinese label is something that would make them ill.  Their loss.

Most everyone seems to prefer more well done corn than I do.  I do mine thirty minutes at 140F.  In searching back though old eGullet content I found I had equally good results steaming corn at 140F in the CSO.  A lot easier than worrying with floating sous vide bags.  I had completely forgotten about the CSO for corn.

 

The Chart by @Okanagancook says cook corn on the cob in the husk in the CSO on steam at 400 for 30 minutes.  You do yours for the same amount of time at 140, on the steam setting?

We had a shrimp salad the other day that we liked a lot so I made it as a main dish today.  I heated the oil and lemon juice dressing so it would wilt the lettuce this time and it is in the center of the seasoned rice ring.  The shrimp covered it up in the first picture.

You’re the best, thank you.

😍

 as an aside, before CSO, I would cover the naked cobbs with two inches of water, put the heat on high and when the water boiled the corn was ready.

 

but really I think it all comes down to the corn quality and size.

Pomelo skin is edible  and done right is delicious. I have often had it braised with pork.

 

 

My Mom used to dry the skin, then  soak it in hot water before removing the pithy stuff. Then the peel was soaked in soy sauce for a couple of months. I LOVED the flavour and saltiness of the pomelo peel braised with pork.

Had two of our granddaughters ( 6, 3 )up for the day.  They love noodles, so Cantonese Chow Mein for supper.

Cool rainy day today, so I made Instant Pot Poblano Chicken, beets, and crispy naan bread. Cilantro was not found in 3 of my usual stores, but mint worked.
I had cooked beets earlier in the day - 20 minutes in the Instand Pot.

Tonight was a vegan dinner party with old college friends.

 

The side dishes turned out pretty nice--roast potatoes and sous-vide carrots.

IMG_4993.thumb.jpg.1dbfe64912db9ab75d0f6ebce5e587dd.jpg

 

I'm annoyed because I became inattentive and burned the main course, a mushroom Wellington. Still it tasted good if you turned it on it's side so you couldn't see the burned top.

Dessert was strawberry plum crumbles served with vegan ice cream.

I have two Georgian cookbooks, Tasting Georgia by Carla Capalbo and Supra by Tiko Tuskadze.  Both excellent -- but sort of like having two clocks:  one never knows what time it is.

 

Tonight was ajapsandali with Imeretian khachapuri.  Capalbo's ajapsandali, or aubergine stew (sorry, both books are British), calls out for potatoes, carrots, and fresh tomatoes.  So the choice was a no-brainer.

 

Ajapsandali08272018.png

 

 

Ingredients include potatoes, carrots, butter, garlic, sunflower oil, summer savory, eggplant, garlic, tomatoes, onions, garlic, green chilli (I used serrano), garlic, cilantro, and parsley.  I left out the basil.

 

For the khachapuri or cheese bread I used a mixture of feta, Jarlsberg, and mozzarella.  One does not see Georgian cheese in these parts, and as it is unpasteurized, ever seeing it is unlikely.  The idea is to have bread stuffed with a salty, chewy, cows' milk cheese.

I am minded why this is a great cuisine.
