 If you can’t figure out how to pronounce it then you shouldn’t be eating it. So I don’t.

Nice on the Hummus

 

but 

 

C*R*A*P !

 

thats not the way I pronounce it

 

I might have to take

 

@Anna N thoughts and think about them

 

I do know this :  Chickpeas are one thing , and EggPlant  quite another

 

fortunately , neither is a GreenBell

 

so there is time for evaluation.  not so much w the EG's

 

still , they re not GB's

[shain]

Indian-thai fusion curry curry, with tomato base with ginger, thai red curry paste, cinnamon, garlic, cardamom, curry leaves, soft tofu, chickpeas, cashew and lime zest.

Tamarind rice with lentils and noodles.

Coleslaw with lentils, peas, fennel seeds, chili and black pepper.

Pronounce "green pepper"

[rotuts]

I pronounce

 

Humus :

 

Who-Mus

since Im a World Traveler 

 

and a Bon Vivant 

 

the let only in my head , lubricated these days w a bit of M.R.

 

its been settled 

 

for me

 

Im very important around here

 

MC would kill me if his 1/4 can of Friskies Pate was forgotten.

 

just saying.

[rotuts]

that being said

 

I agree with

 

@Anna N

 

that

 

Who-Moose 

 

might not be tasty at all

 

might there be ticks invoked 

 

w that pronunciation ?

 

Limmy Ticks ?

[heidih]

@shain  Thank you for the pronounciation. I also was using short vowels. Why I never asked the adorable guys at the farmers market who sell lovely hummus I don't know. I do know that as someone who does not have English as my first language it is quite jarring to hear some "interpreations" of words in my first language...

[Anna N]

 

Rice with furikake, spinach ohitashi (spinach blanched and then marinated), kamo rosu (duck breast seared and marinated) and pickled turnip. 

[Okanagancook]

Osso bucco, HC style, with plenty of garlic, rosemary and sage. I used to do this in a combination of fry pan and a covered pot in the oven all afternoon. This one went from the fry pan to the IPot for an hour and stayed on keep warm for two hours. Much less energy and way les stress. Local silver queen corn and tomatoes joined in the fun. This was a winner! Unfortunately, these are farm stand tomatoes, as mine are pretty much done for the season. Oh, and the first reveal of the new tablecloth we picked up in Ita

@HungryChrisSaw beef shanks like yours the other day at the store. Nearly bought them but thought they were too thin a cut. Might have to go back and check 'em out again as I REALLY want osso bucco now...in the IP. Thanks for the nudge!

That slice of straw mushroom in the middle of the plate looks a bit startled!

Really wanted Bitter Melon for supper but none to be had. They did have kerala but wouldn't be the same.

So we had Black Bean Garlic Beef with Bell Peppers and Zeroodle Shirataki Rice = Fried rice with egg and green onions.

I guess you mean this one.

 

 

Yeah, I hadn't noticed until you mentioned it. It reminds me a bit of Munch's The Scream, but a couple of seconds earlier.

P.E.I. farm raised mussels in garlic and herbed wine sauce with hot bread for dippage. I bought 2, 2 lb. bags but only cooked 1 bag and it was the perfect amount for us. Now I have to figure out what to do with the second bag.

I know I've told this story here before, however I believe it's been a while...

 

When I was little I once demanded pie for breakfast.  After a firm "no" my mother elaborated:  "Actually I am from New England, and in New England people do eat pie for breakfast -- but this is not New England."

 

Pie for breakfast was something I let my kids have on a pretty regular basis when they were growing up. I reckoned a homemade pie with fruit filling was almost certain to be healthier than what their friends in the surrounding houses were having for breakfast (ie, mostly bowls of Sugar Frosted Sugar "cereals").

Ronnie caught a lone catfish in a pond over the weekend and it swallowed the hook so he kept it.  Catfish and frog legs last night.

 

[KennethT]

@Shelby Where do you get the frogs legs?  Do you or Ronnie catch the frogs, then skin and butcher, or do you buy them?  If you buy them, where do you get them?

We used to go bullfrog hunting a lot.  That involved late nights, very muddy clothes and a lot of beer drinking lol.   Now, that I'm older and wiser I order them from Cajun Grocer.

It's so hot here in Taiwan.

 

I made sure I could eat my 2 favourite Taiwanese dishes as soon as possible. Fortunately this restaurant is within walking distance from my lodging. This zombie couldn't walk far today without collapsing from exhaustion and jet lag.

 

 

 

 

Boiled goose and clams with basil.

 

 

Crunchy slender greens called something like "whitewater snowflake" according to the translation.

 

[Anna N]

 

Romaine with miso dressing and beef tataki. 

[kayb]

Pizza.

 

 

Mushroom and prosciutto. Reasonably good.

This Jerk Pork Tenderloin Kebabs is from the  Korean BBQ book, but he thinks of his food as  Korean American and Puerto Rican.  He was born in Korea but grew up in America and his wife is from Puerto Rico. This recipe was inspired one winter when he and his wife vacationed in Jamaica, so it is pretty much a mixture of a lot of different traditions.
