It's Monday so it must be ribs!  Another batch of Blasphemy Ribs, served with white corn in butter.

 

 

 

 

 

As long as you'll push the corn a bit to the side...

Anything for you.    😉

Dinner last night was comfort food (I have a summer cold, the worst kind).

Paneer cooked like scrambled eggs from Madhur Jaffrey, cucumber and mint raita, rice, paratha, mango pickle and a bowl of dal trevini from Meena Pathak.

Tried out a recipe called Italian Parmesan Meatballs using equal amounts of beef and pork, panko crumbs, eggs, and Parmesan cheese. Should have realized they'd be bland without any herbs seasoning. I was right.😥 Made 12 meatballs and baked them in the ove3n. The pasta sauce helped, and we ate some with Zeroodles Fettucinni.

 

                                                                

 

Made up the second half of meat mixture, added copious amounts of Italian herbs, and made meatloaf for sandwiches for lunch. Much better, especially topped with some shredded cheese with Taco /Nacho seasoning and Primo Piazza sauce (in a squeeze bottle!)

 

Supper tonight was SV lamb loin chops. The texture was great, and done to medium. I seared the chops,  but I think the fat needed more charring. Kinda lost that lamb flavour. Any suggestions for improvement / retaining the lamb taste would be appreciated.

Eaten with cumin Basmati rice, peas and fresh mint sauce.

Finally found some 'Effort' to make my Aussie day lamb. Kleftiko, modified for the slow cooker. Greek salad didn't make the picture.

Chicken tacos with chipotle crema on homemade tortillas.

Sticky wings, egg rolls and sweet and sour tofu over rice noodles

The other day Charlie asked if I could make empanadas again plus find recipes for Puerto Rican chicken wings and rice.  I made the empanadas a couple days ago. I have made those before.  I showed Charlie a couple recipes for PR chicken. One was for wings and he picked it.  It was marinated and grilled or roasted. It was way too cold to grill so it went in the oven.  It didn't brown very much but was good. I will look for a fried chicken recipe to try next.   I have found almost everything for the rice but made a Mexican style today.  It was a Goya mix from the Mexican grocery.

What to do with a gift of fresh arrowroot? I've only ever cooked it with lap yook ( Chinese bacon) in with rice.

Tonight, I tried braising with nam yu (red fermented tofu), skin-on pork belly, and taro. It was velvety soft, sweet, sticky, and savory.  THIS was my nod to Chinese New Year, a few days early.

We had steamed and flash-in-the-pan Yu Choy and jasmine rice. No substitutes possible with this dish!

The other night my dinner was 100% due to Egullet. I reheated pizza in a skillet (and pizza in northern NJ is GOOD) and the I ate 3/4ths of a head of cauliflower that I roasted. I was very happy to say the least.

Same But Different to Last Night. 

Cheaty Shepherds Pie. 

[liuzhou]

Tonight, I decided to throw caution to the wind and go full out haut cuisine. So.

 

Bangers and mash. Italian style sausages (actually Chinese), buttery mash, shiitake mushrooms and Shanghai  bok choy. Dijon mustard 'cos it's French n'est pas? Finished with Himalayan pink salt.

 

OK, not the salt.

That looks so great. Are these west coast clams? What kind are they? And I would love the recipe. Generally here in the Bay Area we get those tiny manila clams, which really don't inspire me like the little necks back east.

@Katie Meadow,  Yes from just up island from us.  They are Komo Gway Manila clams from the Comox area.  

I posted a basic outline for the chowder on my blog tonight.

Tonight's dinner: White chili, accompanied by guacamole and chips

[CantCookStillTry]

Lamb, Feta & Beetroot with Aioli. 

The never ending lamb has now retired to the freezer. Why I thought it was a good idea to cook a 2.6kg leg of lamb the night before my husband went back to site I will never know.
