Ham hocks are truly delicious especially if they have crackling as shown above.  Nigella has a nice recipe with the hock cooked perched on apples and onions.  I have made that recipe a few times...usually when the butcher has an irresistible hock in their display case.😋

Tentacle Spectacle, (not the musical)

 

Liuzhou posted chayote  in the amazing Chinese vegetable post "--Perhaps less well known is that the leaves and young shoots of the chayote vine are also edible and a popular vegetable in southern China. Often described as 龙须菜/龍須菜"

By coincidence, I harvested a bunch of chayote greens from my garden, and made some squids with them for dinner. Squid and veggie, both with tentacles.

Of course, the Tarte Tatin. However, does not look Tatinnish as no caramelizing on the Apples, But hey, Whose complaining...

- Couple of bottles of Gavi di Gavi.....in fact three bottles

And finally coffee and a smokey Shisha with Double Apple macerated tobacco to keep in harmony with the non Tarte Tatin.

@Nicolai, you know how to pick your places to eat! Tell me about the herbs inside the circle of salmon "thingies" in the top photo. Is that basil? Is it fried basil? If not basil, what herb and how was it prepared?

Hello Smithy

 

Yes. It is fried Basil and they were served with a Mayo dip which I did not try.

 

The filling was Lemon Zest and finely chopped Capers mixed with the Salmon.

It is one of their signature dishes. No herbs besides the Basil noticed. 

 

I guess the recipe avoided herbs and onions to concentrate on Basil and Capers/Lemon. I did not felt it needed the Mayo dip as the whole Basil and Salmon delivered a delicate taste for me.

Made breakfast for dinner the other night to leave for Mr. Kim, my mom and Jessica while I went to a meeting - sausage gravy and biscuits and fried apples:

Jessica made a salad:

Last night was some more freezer clean out.  Mr. Kim gets these pre-formed raw burgers - he makes a bunch and uses them for work lunches all week.  I just don't care for the flavor or texture, but we need the space!  So burgers, fries (also frozen - those I like) and baked beans:

It's been a while since my trip to Georgia, and I started to feel the craving for some Georgian food. I choose to not yet make any dish that I had on the trip, rather opting to make dishes inspired by the cuisine. 

Celery, beans and peanuts salad, in a red-wine vinegar and olive oil dressing, garlic, coriander seeds, cilantro, parsley, mint, basil, chili.

A pan-fried quick bread with walnuts and spices (coriander, paprika, cumin, dill seeds, caraway), sour cream, cilantro, basil, dill.

A dish I made a few times before - a spread of grilled eggplants, toasted walnuts, coriander seeds, garlic, cilantro, carob syrup.

@shain, could you please tell us more about that quick bread?

 

It's powder-risen, and uses eggs for structure. The crumb is therefore eggy and pancakey, but still feels mostly like bread in texture. I used quite a bit of spices and herbs here. Also forgot to mention the caramelized onions and celery.

The thick batter is poured into a buttered pan and fried and crisp.

I can share the recipe of you are interested.

Nothing is better than frying in lard.

Nothing.  Do not quote me on this.
