Do you slice your own sausage or can you buy this (fabulous faux pasta) pre-detailed.     It looks like sausage I somehow ran through my pasta machine, which sounds like s monumental clean up.     Still..,.WANT!

H'mmm. I have had pasta salads that have within them diced summer sausage or cured/smoked sausage, as well as diced cheese (I've seen cheddar and Monterey Jack), along with diced gherkins, carrots, radishes, olives and so on, but they were always in a light mayo dressing. I like the idea of vinegar and a bit of oil.

That reminds me of a Chinese restaurant where I used to live. They had two menus, one for regular people and one for Chinese customers.  We always asked for the Chinese menu then had to have everything explained to us. Some of the food had a lot of those little red chilies.  They were good but I had to take them in moderation. 

 

With this dish, the chillies are not eaten. The idea is to pick out the chicken meat buried within the pile of red chilli and Sichuan peppercorns. It is still spicy, though. The dish is from Chongqing, but found all over Sichuan and in almost every Sichuan restaurant elsewhere.

I wish I had known that sooner. :)

Both. In Germany it is easy enough to find a couple of presliced sausage varieties (and with or without added cheese), so I tooknthe lazy route. In Hong Kong I used to make this from leftover Leberkäse that I had to slice myself, and I would do the same here when sufficient suitable leftovers give me the opportunity. My mother never buys the presliced stuff ...

So  Olympic Club in SF--  makes a rolled burger on a hot dog bun.  So I upped the game.   Made a Breaded Pork tenderloin    :)

Nice.  That tube burger at Olympic is raved about by the members and guests. But its just a hamburger in a hot dog roll, and I think, gives less meat than a regular burger.  Your pork is a real upgrade.

„Make a wish“ at the Duvel household. The little one requested spaghetti with mussels, because he had that dish some weeks ago at an italian restaurant in the city. Quite an amazingly specific wish for someone who can‘t usually remember what he had for lunch. Mussels, anchovies, garlic, tomato, mirin, lemon, a bit of herb salt and fresh basil. There were no leftovers...

I saw @blue_dolphin's post in the Trader Joe's thread about some cheese that she bought--New Woman.  It has Jamaican spices.  Spied some at the grocery store (not the 4 pack like at Trader Joe's, just that one cheese).  Put that out along with some Hatch Chile cheese.  Liked the New Woman...and the Hatch was good, too, but wish that the chile taste was more pronounced.  Will be good in cornbread or mac and cheese.

Roasted cauliflower with toasted almond. A vinaigrette with sharp olive oil, capers, raisins, silan, chili, orange zest. 

Pasta with caramelized onion, garlic, chives, sage, toasted walnuts. Egg yolks to thicken the sacue. Some grated Mimolette (I had some frozen and it complements the onions).

It feels a bit like winter!!!  Maybe snow next week!  Happy Dance!!!!

 

Ronnie has been wanting ham and beans for a long time.  Yesterday was the perfect day to have them simmering on the stove.  Started them around 2:30.  Onions, jalapeños, carrots, celery.  

 

RG beans--two different kinds, one of which I can't remember the name and am looking for help. I looked at their website and I can't locate them.  They came in the latest bean club shipment --Here is a picture

Anyway, loads of homemade chicken stock....a nice meaty hamhock from Father's and two big regular ham bones with lots of meat left on them.  A jar of my canned tomatoes added closer to the end. Bit of salt--not too much, the ham is salty, black pepper....a bay leaf or two.  Good stuff.  Was cozy feeling in the house :)

Corn bread turned out good too   ( must have been a good luck cooking day for me lol) .  I used my usual recipe.  The only thing I did different (I think) is I baked it in the CSO using the bread function--400F for 22 minutes.  OH and I used some of that Hatch chile cheese --poked the squares all over the top.

Off camera: Afghan bread and drinks.

 

 

Afghan food is a mixture of different food cultures whether Arabic - Persian - Indian.....etc.

The food is very tasty on the homey side of flavours and presentation is still elementary.

We enjoyed all dishes except the Dopiyaza which does not fit our taste profile.

 

In case you have the opportunity to visit an Afghan restaurant then do not hesitate to work your taste buds with different flavours.
