@Okanagancook – oh, dear lord.  That piggy.  That bubbly skin.  I believe I lost consciousness for a bit.

 

@Nicolai – what a perfect meal.  Not to mention the wonderful after dinner entertainment.

 

Tonight:

Leftover pork, green beans and new potatoes, Noodle Roni, stove top pork stuffing w/ jarred pork gravy.  Just letting it all out here.  Momma was happy!  It was pretty good.

A whole pig’s worth of crackling is life changing!

Those who arrive on time are rewarded with some of it.

I'd come early

Turkey sandwiches.  Again.  I had also made tater tots in the CSO.  I took them out and promptly dumped them all on the floor.

The sandwiches and salad look good. Too bad about the Tater Tots! It sounds like we both had problems with our cooking mojo last night.

Dinner tonight was bits and pieces cooked at various times over the last two days. Heat avoidance.

 

I started out making Scotch quail eggs this morning at 6 am.

There was also a couple of chicken legs braised with turmeric, garlic and white chillies. these were done the day before and refrigerated overnight.

Then, at the last minute, stir fried fresh ramen noodles with pork, garlic, ginger, Shaoxing wine, soy sauce, shiitake mushrooms, white chillies, coriander leaf, and scallions.

There was a salad, too, which failed to take advantage of its photo-op.

My DH is a highly skilled pig roaster extraordinare.  We have done probably 25 pig roasts over the years.  We do one at our house every July for around 45 to 50 friends.  The fire is mostly charcoal with some apple wood to supplement.  When the pig first goes on the fire it gets turned almost constantly (by hand...the other hand has a beer in it) until the crackling is starting to get crisp.  I cut it off onto a cookie sheet and cut it into bite size pieces and salt it with Hys Seasoning salt.  Eventually we get most of the skin crispy except for the neck and butt areas.  Once the skin is off the lid is lowered to help the fat render.  Once that's done the loin is ready for picking.  It is permitted to pull the meat off the loin area only.  The shoulder and butts are for dinner.  Sometimes we get down to the back bone with the ribs being pulled off.  Depends on who is at the roast.  Here are a few pics from various roasts.  Oh and if there are dogs around, we cut the ears off for them.

That's why you got the shout-out (do they even say that anymore?).  No worries.  I'm going to bed in a few.  I got a delicious 45 minutes in the grocery store all alone when Mr. Kim got home to be with Momma.  Heaven amongst the produce!

Been there; done that. Regularly.

 

Actually, it is a feature of Chinese cuisine which I particularly like. No one dreams of serving just one dish. To calculate the minimum number of dishes (N) to prepare for a meal, most home cooks count the number of diners (D) then add one.

 

N=D+1

 

More adventurous cooks go for


N=D+
