Sous vide duck breast with roasted garlic potatoes (that were tossed in the rendered duck fat for those extra calories) ... yummy 😋

Fantastic.  I think Duck, especially medium rare duck breast is my favorite meat overall!   May I ask what kind of sauce is that?

Well ... it‘s a red fruit marmelade (currant, bit of raspberry, cherry) made by my mom from the fruits in her garden, flavored with a bit of elderberry. It was what I had on hand, and the family enjoyed it ...

Thanks For The Memory

After buying my house, I realized that the magnificence huge tree in the garden is a ginkgo tree. I Googled and amazed that ginkgo is a very interesting tree.

 

It is a dinosaur tree that it has not change much in 200 million years. It is a very tough tree that actually survived the atomic blast in Hiroshima.

 

In addition, I don’t remember where I have read it, ginkgo nuts supposedly can improve your memory. :D

 

A very beautiful decorative golden fall tree. Every year this time, I harvest a ton of ginkgo nuts for cooking.

Creole shrimp and grits.  Grits made with corn stock and I included corn kernels.  Garnished with green onions, cilantro and feta.

I’ve been looking for this cool little tool for a while now.  Something mandolin-like to slice small cucumbers, carrots, radishes, etc. for salads, but small enough that I could keep it in my knife drawer where I could get to it easily:

DSCN0226.JPG.22ed569c3da08e67884f472dd4812027.JPG

It was hard to tell in the packaging how thick it would cut, but it was only about $4 at Marshall’s. 

 

A few years back, these cucumber slicers were a craze here - not for culinary use however. People (women) were slapping slices of cuke all over their faces for some supposed therapeutic benefit. The craze stopped as suddenly as it started.

Not before I did buy one however. Hardly ever used it and have no idea where it is now. Never slapped cuke to my visage, though.

More Tskhare Neknebi, this time with lobio, a different lobio than my usual recipe.  Lobio with walnuts and spices, since I had a bowl of walnut paste that needed using up.  Campari tomatoes with Momofuku ranch.

 

Pheasant's Tears Saperavi.  Somewhere in the refrigerator I lost the cork so I am finishing up the bottle.

No. They are like pita breads, but a tad thinner and much larger. Most commonly used for shawarma around here.

Picked me up a nice piece of pork.

 

20191031_142921.thumb.jpg.5b3a5ceb1e8775f06b783a41515c3cae.jpg

 

 

 

Trimmed most of the fat and rendered it down. Sliced the flesh, salted and peppered it and left that in the fridge for 2 hours. Chopped shiitake mushrooms, 红枣 (hóng zǎo) aka jujubes and black garlic.

 

20191102_183425.thumb.jpg.4d7b575244eba1f5bb499fdb6ef5c097.jpg

 

Fried the pork in olive oil. Fried the mushroom mix in the pork fat (now lard). Flamed the pork with some nice Armangac. Rested the meat while pouring and scraping the cooking juices and bits into the mushrooms. Served with simple boiled potatoes and  greenery which I didn't bother to photograph. You know what they look like.

 

Put into mouth.

There's a moment in the movie Hollywood Homicide where Lena Olin's character ribs boyfriend Harrison Ford about being an old fart. His reply (I'm paraphrasing, it's been a while since I saw it) was "Hey, as long as I take my ginkgo I can still remember where I put the Viagra..."
