Dinner 2019


liuzhou

Recommended Posts

We had dessert for dinner. Picked some rhubarb from the garden and baked a free form rustic tart. Cut a stalk of rhubarb into three long strips and placed the strips around the inside edge of the rolled out pastry and then folded the pastry over the rhubarb and sealed to form the sides of the tart.

We ate lunch out, and Moe wasn't hungry for dinner.

What makes it 5-Way?

 

I know, I know!!!  🙋‍♀️ (Used to live near Cincinnati) 

Chili

Pasta

Beans

Onions

Cheese

 

Is anyone else as ridiculous as I am when debating hitting the “like” button or not?  I consider whether I could avoid the things I dislike – ie: could I eat around the mushrooms or skim off the topping of raw onions?  If so, I “like” it.  I can’t get rid of spice, so those don’t get a “like”.  Etc.  As if anyone truly cares whether they get a “like” from Kim Shook or not.  LOL

 

@Ann_T – I would adore either of your Khachapuri (bread and cheese are life to me), but the escargot one makes me positively swoon!  Genius. 

 

Had an old, dear friend from high school come for a quick visit on her way back to Boston from NC.  She is a joy to cook for – loves to eat and loves all kinds of food.  Dinner was shrimp burgers:

Went to the town's market to get a few things for dinner.

Golden hour on the rooftop terrace.

20 euro vinho verde in paper cups (but I also had to drink Dom Perignon in plastic cups somewhere else). Portuguese eat coriander and Spanish prefer parsley. Their golden age of trading with distant countries explains this.

At the market earlier

And the price

All most all barnacles are still attached to a chunk of rock, which I also paid for. And rock is heavier than the barnacles!

At my lodging you are welcome to help yourself to a shot of nice port.

After four years in Hong Kong, I will be transferring back to Germany next month.

 

I too will miss your posts. Although we live not so far apart, we have had two different Chinese life and cuisine experiences. I will also miss your reports from other parts of Asia.

That said, I'm now looking forward to your European gustatory exploits.

Good luck and safe journey home.

Sorry to put an end to the beautiful pictures. Bangers N Mash do not photo all that well. Especially when ones husband drops a bombshell as you go to make the Gravy. 

Apparently the sinner prefers Tomato Ketchup!?!? After all these years 🤯

Yeah so after the photo, I scooped the peas to the side and puddled him some Ketchup. Off to ponder how bad my Gravy is!

Don't sweat it, hon, there's no accounting for taste. A young lady of our acquaintance, invited to our place for homemade fish tacos, once declined the usual toppings in favor of dousing hers with ketchup.

 

We still tease her about it.

 

(Context, for those who don't know: Here in Atlantic Canada, many, MANY people grow up eating ketchup on fish that's battered and fried.)

@BonVivant  I didn't know barnacles were edible. Live and learn. 

 

I didn't know that either, and I'm still puzzled as to how you do it. More information, please?

I love percebes - it's a bit of a pain to deal with (like peel'n'eat shrimp) but totally worth it in my opinion.

Oh that's what the sign says. I couldn't make it out. I now know how to say porch in Portuguese though so that's um something. Thank you.

Sunday I made crispy fried chicken.  Served with sliced tomatoes and sweet corn

Tuesday I chopped up some of the leftover chicken and put it in a big salad

Last night we had....a big salad with chicken.  This time chicken coated in panko and everything bagel seasoning and served over greens with a honey vinaigrette.  I saw the recipe in Eating Well magazine and it looked easy and tasty.  Both were true

Tonight's dinner: pork and chive dumplings, and Chinese cabbage and leek, dumplings from Dumps-A-GoGo accompanied by greens and fennel sauteed with chinkiang vinegar, roasted sesame seed paste, and butter.

Those dumplings look good - too bad the company has such an unfortunate name!

Chicken cacciatore.  Forgive me for the parsley.  Excellent.  Bread and Boursin not shown.

 

I may clean the kitchen floor tomorrow.  Or I may not.
