Interesting caption. This is something I make often with excess corn but always include cilantro.    It's not your friend?

Hmmm my street peeps never use cilantro - maybe does not fare well in So Cal sun

It wasn't in the house. And I'm not a fan. But I do usually use it in this dish.

re cilantro...Oh, do I get this!    I grow a handful of herbs, but not cilantro.   It always beaks me when I have all the ingredients for a dish but no cilantro.    Dried is never an option.    And then there is rosemary which I refuse to grow since I use so little.   I just slither up the street with my little clippers and prune a few inches from a neighbor's hedge.

Leftovers of leftovers:

 

 

 

Chile verde con cerdo, Rancho Gordo beans.  What's new was Diana Kennedy's rajas de chile poblano, prepared by the @chefmd method.  Not shown, salsa verde cruda from Roberto Santibanez's Tacos, Tortas, and Tamales.

 

 

 

 

 

Served with tostadas.

 

[liuzhou]

Braised chicken legs with eryngi mushrooms, ras el hanout, chilli and garlic. With coriander leaf and Chinese chives. Served over rice.

I wanted to bake something different yesterday. 

Saw pictures of Khachapuri - Georgian Cheese Bread and decided to go with that.

Very simple dough and easy to shape and bake.

 

But I realized as the dough was rising, that, this is really not something I was going to enjoy. First of all, I really am not a big cheese fan, and I don't really like runny eggs.

What was I thinking!!!

 

So, I decided to make a bastardized version and topped one with escargot with lots of garlic, butter and parsley.

 

And one traditional. Liked the escargot version, not so much the cheese and egg version.

 

I tossed the remaining dough.

Left-over brisket, cubed and mixed into baked beans, served with steamed broccoli.

Last night I was having supper rather late, so here's the pic... A local speciality very similar to Presswurst- we call it tlačenica, prezvuršt (obviously ) ili švargla (probably hungarian origin). Originally, it's stuffed into stomach, but this one was in plastic casing...

Admiteddy, later I sliced half a loaf of bread, so those two were only for the photo opportunity.  But, I still call this light supper. 

[Margaret Pilgrim]

Wolf, this looks fabulous!    I take it as something akin to headcheese.    I LOVE this with a tart dressing, or if it is the vinegared kind, just out of hand.    I am the only one in the family who eats it, so I seldom buy it.   With me in the house, it has no shelf life!

Crawfish Etouffee Smothered Pan Seared Tilapia with Jasmine Rice

 

[Margaret Pilgrim]

Husband has headed off to a monthly 10 course men's night dinner hosted by a crazy Italian friend.   So I'm on my own. 

 

Daily greens

 

Followed by black bean Gringo plate.    Flour tortilla, said beans, cremosa cheese, crema, guac salsa.    Pas mal, or should that be no está mal,    Beans were leftover from a night or so ago.   Husband didn't like them   I thought they were just fine.

[Franci]

Still one ribeye in the fridge, eggplants and mushrooms, some baos for my son, my daughter had noodles earlier, she was starving after tennis practice

Most of my dinners are stuffed into stomach.

Tavira, Portugal. Just got here last night. Grilled sea bass and Algarvian clams cooked in wine, garlic and olive oil.

 

 

Seafood loves Vinho verde.

The only thing still growing in my herb garden is rosemary.  It’s like a hedge, it’s hard to kill.

 Fabulous. I’m quite jealous.

After four years in Hong Kong, I will be transferring back to Germany next month. So, this is my last meal on my last business trip (for now at least) here in Asia.

 

Korean barbecue - pork edition - in Yeosu, Korea ...

 

The usual setup with banchan (all for free with the meat purchased) ...

 

Spicy salad with gochujang and bean sprouts...

 

Extra fatty pork belly ...

 

First grilled on both sides, then snipped into bite-size pieces with scissors...

 

Ready !

 

Second round - my pick: pork cheek and “secreto”, a cut from the neck ...

 

Assembled ...

 

Enjoyed with LOTS of somek...

 

Spicy fish soup...

 

My request as well: spicy fermented fish intestines (as dip for the grilled rice cakes). You can imagine from the portion size that was meant for our whole table how powerful that stuff is. I had three refills. The shop owner said he neither saw anyone eating that much, norbe ever any foreigner eating it at all ...

 

Afternthe damage done came “the main course”, as my colleagues refer to it. Carbs, here in noodle form ...

 

Good times 🥳

Those of us who live vicariously through your meals are going to miss you being in Hong Kong!

Hahaha, thanks! I will miss it as well ... and hope to post some entertaining meals as well from Europe 😉

[Norm Matthews]

We had cap steaks. I made potato pancakes and Charlie made a last minute request for mac and cheese... the Kraft kind.  He is particular about that. I cooked the steaks sous vide first then finished on the grill.

[robirdstx]

 

Chili 5-Way

Kids dinner: duck legs, potatoes, zucchini, green beans, olives and cornichons. Later we had scallops and kids leftovers 😁

@Duvel I will also miss your Asian adventures, but am looking forward to your European ones.
