Dinner 2018

[rotuts]

@Ann_T

 

I admire people who make their own ravioli 

 

so many more interesting fillings if you think about it.   and fresh homemade pasta is so much better than purchjased

 

I used to make them

 

but Sloth took over.

 

one of my favorites was left over BBQ CkWings   ( I made a zillion on purpose )

 

just remove the meat and skin , chop and put in a ravioli !

 

the Rx for those wings came from an old book I can't find any more :

 

Frog Commissary Cookbook

 

this one :

it had about 16 things you mixed together and soaked the wings in.

More oral surgery for John yesterday.  When the bleeding stopped he grazed..... some mashed potatoes with minced chicken and carrots in chicken gravy; thinned out sweet potato soup,  So Delicious chocolate dipped vanilla bars...........

IF we don't lose power his dinner will be a fresh salmon cakes.

Inspired by @Duvel this is John's lunch.  A corned beef and cheese melt.

At least u have your priorities straight 

[Ann_T]

Thanks @rotuts.  Although I do make my own pasta for ravioli, that wasn't the case here.  You might have missed  where I mentioned in my post that for this recipe I use Wonton wrappers.   The original recipe calls for Wonton wrappers and that is what I have always used.

Last night, A Martha Rose Shulman recipe for Greek baked fish with tomatoes and onions (I used hake).  I added roasted peppers and red pepper flakes to the recipe

Did you cook the sausages in the newly acquired air fryer?

[robirdstx]

 

Salad with Baby Lettuces and Arugula from my garden, English Cucumber, Cherub Tomatoes, Button Mushrooms, Onion, Celery and Sheep’s Milk Feta. Dressed with Balsamic Vinaigrette just before tossing. Black Olives and Unsalted Roasted Sunflower Seeds were added to my portion. My husband added Garlic Croutons to his portion.

 

 

Boneless Beef Ribeye, seasoned with Ground Black Pepper and Kosher Salt, cooked sous vide at 129F for an hour, then finished on the gas grill.

Your potatoes look delicious!  And the steak ain’t that bad either.  Thankfully no Brussels sprouts

Pink rice?  Does that mean with tomato water?

 

[JoNorvelleWalker]

Today is not a work day.*  It will be a while before I can make it to the store.  And I had a bunch of cilantro to use up and not much else.  So I made a pot of Lobio, Georgian beans stewed with herbs, Tasting Georgia (p399).

 

 

 

This is far different from the Lobio I posted previously.  This recipe is from Racha and is attributed to Izolda Dvali.  Remarkably there is not one walnut.  The Rancho Gordo cranberry beans were perfect.  Possibly the best beans I have made.

 

Served with sliced pork and bread.  Much wine.

 

The pirates in Seattle are now demanding full price for Tasting Georgia.  When I first thought of buying a copy it was all but half that.

 

 

*for which my colleagues will thank me.

 No it didn't even cross my mind to do that!

 

But I did make your chips last night   They are EXCELLENT

 

Chips and tots and reubens

 

[liuzhou]

Pork cutlets, apple sauce, boiled potatoes and fresh, wild, flower shiitake (生鲜花菇 shēng xiān huā gū).

 

 

The apple sauce was the prime motivator for the dish as a friend sent me a gift of 50 apples from her in-laws' orchard. Trying every way to get through them.

 

The flower shiitake were de-stemmed  and drizzled with olive oil on the gill side, treated to a few grains of sea salt, left to sit for ten minutes, then microwaved on full power for one minute.

Frog was a groundbreaking restaurant in Phila.  Good food, carefully prepared, novel recipes...unheard-of in the city in the 70s.  I think it preceded Georges Perrier and was really the vanguard of reforming the mediocre Philly food that was served at places like Bookbinder's.

Their carrot cake was a local wonder.

[rotuts]

yep.   and I was able to eat there.  

 

which is how I know about the book.

 

decided to buy a used copy  " very good ' for 6 bucks

 

go to amazon above and click on used

 

well worth it.

@rotuts I thought as much.

There really was nowhere in the city where I'd eat today, except maybe the red gravy places and the Chinese places.

Of course, at the time, I had no money to eat out with.

[rotuts]

I recall it was fairly priced and I saved up and went there once.

 

passed on Bookbinders.
