I had some buttermilk to use up so I made buttermilk popcorn chicken for dinner last night.

Served with homemade double fried fries. 

Shared platter watching the Raptor's game.

Tonight an odd combination of oven-roasted chicken wings and - because there were only six of them - Schupfnudeln with mushroom cream sauce ...

 

 

Enjoyed with a 2019 Chimay.

I bought the tray from Regalis Foods in based Long Island City, NY. They import and distribute fancy foods

Mallards--roasted in the CSO.   Was aiming for 140F--over shot a bit even though I checked at 15 minutes.  Still tender though.  Thought I would have enough left over to make a little duck and noodles but Ronnie really liked them.  Duck and noodles another time.  

 

I rubbed them with lemon and then put the lemons inside.  I've only done this with chicken--wasn't sure about doing it on duck, but it was a hit.

@Shelby What are mallards like?  I'm sure I've never had one - the only ducks I've ever had were farmed.  They look really small for ducks - since you can fit 2 on a CSO pan... and really lean!

I'd say like a venison steak.  Rare to med. rare.  You're right on both counts, small and very very lean.   They are maybe a tad bigger than a cornish game hen.   I like it best when Ronnie plucks them like this and leaves the skin on.  When you do just the breasts, they are pretty dry and need something like bacon to wrap around them IMO.

@Shelby

 

that looks so delicious 

 

 

BTW  I thought Id ask

 

is there a Goose season your way ?

A very small duck breast cooked on the A4 box. A little more well done then I would have liked but still incredibly tasty and tender. Side of doctored canned corn.

Charlie requested this. It has been a favorite of his since he was about six or so.  It is Cornish hens with an Asian flavored orange sauce.  We had  Korean style spinach to go with it.

Meatloaf Sandwich - reheated meatloaf on a toasted ciabatta bun with white onion and mayo.

 

[scubadoo97]

This is the first time I snow balled them instead of forming a thick patty.   A little side salad and remoulade

Not that is the ultimate crab cake.   

 

When all your husband wants for dinner is your bread toasted.............

It is basically an odd shaped Gnocchi. 750 g potatoes, boiled and „steamed out“ in the oven for some minutes to dry, then riced. Added one full egg, one egg yolk, salt and nutmeg. Slowly mix, add 100-125 g flour (depending on moisture level). Mix, shape into a log, cut into pieces and shape ...

Boil in plenty of salted water until they rise to the surface. Shock in ice water, drain and finish in hot butter in a pan.

Pizza al taglio with caramelized pears, balsamico onions, rosemary and pecorino sardo

 

I made a batch of roasted onions with balsamic vinegar and sage

 

They became the bottom layer in this pizza al taglio with pears, bacon and blue cheese

I should have used either the bacon or blue cheese.  It didn't really need both. 

On the plate with a salad of arugula, persimmon, pomegranate and toasted almonds with a pomegranate vinaigrette
