Perfect weather here for Chili!

We are going to the neighbours for dinner....now I am hoping for Chili.

Steak night at HC's. These were on sale at $4.99 pp so, it had to happen.

I stayed at a traditional guest house on Yonaguni island where home-style meals are included in the price. Seaweed of some kind is served with almost every meal, no matter how small the amount. Japan already holds the record for longevity but the highest concentration of centenarians is found in the Ryukyu archipelago. (Look up the well documented Blue Zone study)

 

Impossible to photograph this seaweed soup.

 

 

 

 

Mahi and marlin are some of the most common fish around here (but marlin is king).

 

Only tasted the sauce and I stopped there. Sauce had Japanese mayo and hard-boiled egg. I would have made it with miso (butter).

 

Squid and celery tasted buttery to me.

 

Went to a restaurant a few doors down the road for beer and more sashimi.

 

 

Locally made booze is 60%. The men drink both beer and booze at the same time.

I hate to waste if I can help it. So left over baguette became burger buns for a chipotlé chicken burger.

After an appointment for a procedure I don't recommend unless really necessary, I happened to find myself on the upper east side, and after a quick lunch of a few slices at PQR (really good again), I moseyed on over to Schaller & Weber. Once there, I spied a good looking pork loin roast, the size of which would've been enough to feed a nice family gathering, but since I was only feeding Significant Eater and myself, I asked for a cut off the small end, containing 3 chops, which the butcher was kind enough to do.

 

I decided to slow roast the loin, and after well-salting/seasoning and allowing the roast to sit in the fridge like that for a good 6 hours or so, it went into a 275℉ oven, for about 2 hours. Here's where timing is interesting; at an hour and 10 minutes, it was registering under 115℉ on an instant read - after that, the temperature shoots up much more quickly per minute than during that first hour...

 

 

In any event, it was moist and juicy, and this little 3 chop roast still could've fed a small family. The cap was insanely delicious.  And following my standard procedure of plating as if I were in 1st grade home ec...

 

 

That's some of the cap and a little bit of a chop. The potatoes (a mix of Yukons and Red Bliss), seasoned with olive oil, salt, pepper, pimenton and saffron threads, were roasted alongside the pork - they were damn good too. The broccoli, pan seared and steamed in its own juices. To drink, a 2015 Tenuta de Fessina Erse Etna Rosso - went nicely with the pork.

Fed a crew at church last night. Brunswick stew, beer cheese muffins, corn muffins, sandwiches. Running late when I got it out, so no photos of whole spread, but the sandwiches were homemade pimiento cheese and ham/turkey and cheese on King Arthur multigrain bread.

Had a rather heavy lunch, so a light dinner tonight.

 

Stir fried fresh ramen noodles with duck and leeks. Duck marinated with Shaoxing wine, garlic, ginger and chilli. A splash of soy sauce near the end.

I had a big lunch, so downsized dinner to a cup of Chili with Fried Polenta, served in the bowl I made in a pottery class last month. 😋

[Kim Shook]

Leftover turkey and long grain & wild rice soup.  Found the recipe on the Uncle Ben’s website.  If I’d made the soup following the recipe exactly, it would have been some sad soup.  But I had my good turkey stock and I added some seasonings and herbs.  Turned out to be very good.

[Okanagancook]

 

That soup looks absolutely delicious!  I like the large chunks of turkey meat. I think wild rice is a very nice ingredient.  I usually soak it for a few hours before cooking....results in a more evenly cooked product.

salmon lettuce cups, rice and smashed cucumber salad

 

[liuzhou]

I've made and posted this before, but no apologies. It is different every time.

 

Pork marinated with olive oil, lemon juice and zest, garlic, crushed coriander seeds, chilli and salt. Stir fried until cooked through, then scallions added. Served with a tomato, onion and basil salad with a lemon vinaigrette and rice. Sadly, probably the last basil of the year, unless I can nurture some cuttings I have made and re-rooted today. Depends on the weather.

Chicken stew with homemade focaccia.

[Norm Matthews]

This was a couple nights ago. I saw it on facebook and thought it looked good.  It said to use two chicken breasts. I never know if they really mean from two chickens or two half breasts.  I used two halves.  More chicken would have been better.

Just did a roasted broccoli with tahini that worked really well.  Cut into small bite size pieces.  Served as a side with pan seared steelhead trout

Just tahini or did you mix it with something?

[scubadoo97]

Just tahini.  Got a few bottles of Soom tahini recently
