The fitting finish to a lazy dinner week: all things from the fridge, some Mett and layered eggplant with minced meat (a bit „greek“ flavored) ...

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

 

 

 

My guess is Cranberry beans if it was something from the last bean club shipment.

No pics because it really wasn't pic-worthy and because, for some reason, I was starving and didn't take time to take them. Hamburger steak and baked potato with butter and sour cream and chives.

 

A few weeks ago, I bought two packs of frozen "sirloin steakburgers" at Sam's for a cookout. I think there were 18 in a package. Wound up cooking only one package, so tonight, I pulled one out, pan-fried it, and nuked a potato in the microwave. A dash of A-1 and I was good to go.

 

Haute cuisine it was not, but it was tasty, and quick. No more than 15 minutes from start to finish, and if I'd been of a notion to microwave some frozen veggies as well, that wouldn't have take much longer. I can see keeping a package of these in the freezer all the time. They're 8-ounce patties, a big thicker than your normal burger patty.

Finally cool enough for Pot Roast!

Hope this can get you to smile a little more for the weekend. :-)

 

Squid on daikon from my garden

 

 

[liamsaunt]

We also had squid last night, braised with tomatoes, spicy chiles and garlic, served with rigatoni.  The recipe called for parmesan which I thought was odd.  I tried it but would not add it again.

Thick style pizza.

 

First cheese and sauce.

 

 

Second mozzarella. A pesto of sorts - spinach, parsley, basil, garlic olive oil. Mussels.

@shain

Im wondering if its caramelized cheese ?

Indeed

Beef Stew on a slow simmer for Dinner tonight. Cooked the potatoes, carrots and onions in the Instant Pot (Manual, High Pressure, 6 minutes, Quick Release) with leftover gravy from last night, then added last night’s leftover chuck roast and green peas.

Guess I'll put this here....

I stopped at my favorite farmstand and while there were no zucchini pickles or zucchini relish or fresh lima beans there was strawberry jam.

I am loving the jam on toast with a smear of salted butter and a sprinkle of aged balsamic vinegar.

Just ate two slices.

Thank you Mrs. Rea.   I hope to see you for a chat next year...… hopefully it will be a good year for the zucchini and limas.

Nice

I'm back at home and I've not caught up on egullet yet, but this is last night's dinner. The star of the show was roasted stuffed acorn squash.

The squash stuffing was made of rice, shredded bread, pecans, fresh shitake, carmelized onion, shredded carrot, apple, golden raisins, currants, mushroom powder, paprika, cayenne, boiled apple cider (concentrate) and apple juice. Recipe here.

 

Accompanied by roast duck in the Romertopf at 400F for 90 minutes. While I was away I roasted duck in a plain casserole dish with some liquid; duck ended up quite chewy. Last night's erred at the other end, literally falling apart; I liked it much better.

 

Dessert was buttermilk biscuits (my first biscuits) with strawberries (the last from my farmers' market for this year 😟), whipped cream, and goat's milk butter pecan gelato. No photos, alas!

That's a great idea for a duck..in the Romertopf.  Thanks.

Okanagancook, that's because I got so, so tired of duck fat spraying all over the inside of the oven. I have two Romertopfs. This was a huge one one for a whole duck. The smaller one is just right for two duck legs (though, before I had the large pot, I've done 6).

Hot day, cold dinner.  Shrimp with avocado, red pepper and snap peas.

 

 

[Duvel]

Dinner tonight included something for everyone:

 

Crostini with pumpkin hummus & olives (for my wife)

 

 

Pasta with aubergines, beef & fresh tomatoes (for the little one, who does not mind recycling)

 

 

Krautkrapfen (for my German foodspree, slightly modified by deep frying rather than braising/frying)

 

 

And as everyone got what he/she wanted ... no complaints 😉

[BonVivant]

Sabor intenso! Raf tomatoes brought back from Sevilla.

 

 

Tomatoes, unfiltered olive oil and oregano brought back from Spain.

 

My rucksack was 5kg on the way there, on the way back 11.5. Here are some of the things that made it heavy.
