Last night - The Salad:

😉

 

Wegman’s “fresh” linguine with sauce:

Of course, it is not really fresh, just refrigerated and not dry.  But it was really good, with a great fresh-like texture.  Certainly, better than dried pasta.  And some incredibly good garlic bread:

It is an ATK method.  You split the loaf and spread it with garlic butter (a mixture of melted and soft butter and garlic powder and pressed garlic).  You bake it at 450F for 3 minutes, turn it over so that the garlic butter side is against the baking sheet, put another baking sheet on top and press it down slightly and bake an additional 8 minutes, leaving the baking sheet on top.  Super crisp on the garlic side, but tender inside.  Definitely the best garlic bread I’ve ever made.

@HungryChris Your clam dishes always look so good!


If he's going to post pictures showing that beautiful scenery where he wades out and digs his own clams, his dishes damn well better look good! :P :D

Too hot for heavy food today, by far the hottest day we've had since last summer... so chicken salad using smoked chicken, celery, Vidalia onion, jalapeno and Granny Smith apple on (store bought) garlic naan with a salad of cucumber, grape tomatoes, Vidalia onion, garlic and jalapeno that I sealed in a bag with a vinaigrette this morning and let marinate all day. Didn't bother with a picture which is a shame because this may be one of the more colorful and photogenic meals I've made recently. :D

Halibut is still in season here in BC but now it's sockeye salmon too and I love sockeye, some nibbles from the fish before the pic, so it's not as pretty as it could be. :)  The local nugget potatoes and some asparagus and a Caesar cocktail to start - the glass is a memento from one of my Alaska visits.

Made a Kansas Greek salad---from the garden : banana peppers, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers--black olives (didn't have any Kalamata) feta cheese, salt, pepper, oregano and olive oil.  Had with spaghetti and venison meatballs

I've posted versions of this before but do so again without shame. It's one of my favourites. Actually, the only variation is in what carbohydrate I serve it with: rice, couscous or orzo. It works with each. Anyway, tonight orzo.

 

orzo2.thumb.jpg.86b412e0fc286a50a80643bb6d8c7568.jpg

 

I marinate 1 cm cubed pork tenderloin in plenty of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, crushed coriander seeds for at least an hour. Overnight is better. The mixture should be quite oily as no further oil will be used in the frying.

 

Boil the orzo until cooked, then drain and keep warm.  Assemble a tomato and onion salad with basil and a lemon vinaigrette.

 

Heat a wok until smoking, then stir fry the pork with the marinade until cooked through. No extra oil needed. Serve and eat.

I marinate chicken in pretty much the same mixture,  with basil instead of coriander. I cook the chicken on the grill and boil the marinade to reduce a bit, strain it and brush it on the chicken while it's cooking. Gonna have to give it a shot with pork and coriander.

And Dinner was Pie. With requisite Mash and Peas. The days are cold and the soul is British. 

 

NB: Not British enough to like Liquor (of the Pie variety) and obviously cold is subjective. I am in thermal socks at 25c. 

 

Relative indeed. At 25C I'm looking for shade, and thankful when there's a cool breeze from the bay. :P

I posted the same pictures on WeChat, a Chinese cross between Twitter and Facebook. Two Chinese friends immediately replied in concern, "You haven't cooked the rice!"

 

They have now had a long lesson about orzo, something they've never experienced. I have, in the past,  cooked the pork and made the salad for one of them, but served it with rice that time.

Have been traveling so much for work I feel like I haven't even been able to kiss my wife, let alone cook for her.

 

Luckily tonight that changed. Homemade pappardalle and ragu with focaccia.  She actually made both doughs, all I did was throw some stuff in a pot and let it simmer.
