Lobster was $4.99/lb. (new shell) at Wegman's yesterday, so I bought a few and made my sister and my husband lobster rolls

And I made a shrimp burger for myself

 You know Sandwich Saturday sounds so boring… until you do it!

 You make vegetarian fare looks so good it might take me months to miss meat!

I saw a thing on facebook for Cuban empanadas but there was no recipe as such. There was a video with a caption of each ingredient and the amount as it was going along. I stopped the video each time a new ingredient was added and wrote it down. I was thinking this was going to be a lot different than the  empanadas I usually make but then I took a closer look at the recipe and decided it would be a disaster. It had a cup or a tablespoon of almost everything.  The dough had a cup of flour, a cup of shortening and a tablespoon of salt.  That was way too little flour and way too much of everything else.  The filling was a cup of green pepper, a cup of red pepper, a cup of orange pepper and a cup of ground beef. It had a Tablespoon of cumin, a Tablespoon of salt, a tablespoon of oregano, etc.  I looked up several other Cuban empanada recipes and they all had more reasonable ingredients in more reasonable amounts.  They were actually all pretty much like the ones I had made several times before.   The difference with the one I used is that it had a chimichuri sauce which I thought was a good idea and made it too.

Getting to the end of grilling season for us, made Eggplant salad...I make some version of this a lot...it is nice served warm or room temp, a crumble of feta on top goes well also. Eggplant (thickly sliced, grilled, then chopped), red bell pepper (blackened skin removed, then chopped), diced roma tomatoes, minced shallot. Oregano, balsamic, red wine vinegar, s&p, olive oil, a squirt of honey because one of the eggplants was bitter. Leftovers for lunch, it is good with hummous and pita.

One of my instructors at culinary school made a regular practice of slipping us an occasional recipe with errors in it, specifically to make that point about the hazards of reading and following recipes uncritically.

A friend and I travelled down to Rockport for their 31st Annual HummerBird Celebration last Thursday. 

 

That night we had dinner at Shempy’s Grill, which has been featured on The Texas Bucket List.

I had the Grilled Redfish with Grilled Vegetables and a Side Salad.

On Friday night we went to a sports bar and grill. Can not remember their name - must have been the Wine! 😁

 

Along with a glass of Chardonnay, I had their original Cheeseburger and Shoe String Fries. Really good!

On Saturday we decided to pick up some BBQ from Mac’s Pit Barbecue to take back to our condo. It was near closing time when we got there, so their dining room was near empty.

We bought a pound each of pork ribs and brisket with beans, potato salad and bbq sauce.

Awesome mushrooms.

 

As you said, the key to unlocking their full flavour, browned and a bit crispy!  Was taught this by a chef over 20 years ago and have not looked back since.  No other mushroom execution comes close!

Someone I know, has a food blog about baking, and posted a cake recipe that didn't adhere to usual cake making procedures but I made it anyway and regretted it.  I don't trust anything she posts anymore and I probably shouldn't be so negative.

Sometimes I'll try things even if the recipe seems a little screwy, on the assumption that maybe the other person knows something I don't.

 

There's a quick cake recipe in Joy of Cooking that's got a rather wonky method, but I used it for years when my kids were growing up. The first time I figured that for the cost of a couple of bucks in ingredients, it was worth the experiment.

Beautiful colorful food. I never knew the term tahdig - but we ate it as my DonauSchwabian grandmother who knew zero about rice baked it in her old enamel pot - we fought over it :)

managed a 3 oz bison burger with some crispy bacon and a piece of yellow American, a slice of fresh and juicy Mr. Stripy tomato.  Hot and muggy here.  Lots of iced tea!

Nothing is better than frying in lard.

Nothing.  Do not quote me on this.
