Ordinary Tuna Casserole for me tonight.

One of my favorites.  Easy Peasy.

Had a craving for chili.

Put a big pot on to simmer early this afternoon.  While the chili was cooking, I cooked pinto and black beans in the Breville PC.

Served with topped with cheese, homemade salsa

and homemade flour tortillas.

A couple of weeks ago we went to the big smoke and got Thai Takeaway. I refused to spend $33 on half a BBQ duck, ordered the duck stir fry for $24, picked the 4 pieces of duck breast out and left 90% of the noodles and veg. My sense of economy uh, tickled my husbands enfuriate bone 😅. 

Today I got home and he had (as part of project empty the freezer/prove a point) BBQd me a whole duck to 'pick'... which I started before I remembered to take a photo 😂. 

 

 

Whipped the kid up a quick noodly ducky vege thing.

Pig kidney with garlic, red chilli pepper, yellow bell pepper and penne rigata. Simple.

 

 

Cooked and eaten while listening to Sticky Fingers. Naturally. Can't You Hear Me Knocking?

I just got this text from Jessica: "Mom, you need to make more of this dressing (Momofuku ranch).  I snagged some out of the fridge this morning to go on my lunch salad.  It is my new favorite thing."  😂  Another convert.

I have Kewpie on my shopping list.  I haven't a clue where I can find pickled ramps though.

I didn't find pickled ramps.  I used the cocktail onions and the greens of spring onions.

Perhaps I should start selling my pickled ramps!

Damn. Reckon I'm going to have to try this stuff.

That works just fine!      To paraphrase a classic, "We don't need no stinkin' ramps."

Sweet pickled onions or sour ones?

I used these.  The ingredients don't list anything sweet.

I would suggest if you cannot locate ramps, pickled or not - to add a tiny bit of garlic to your dressing.  Being that a ramp is a wild cross between the garlic and onion family and certainly has garlic notes to it.

 

Still have a whack of ramps from Spring - perhaps I might give the dressing a go...though I do recall seeing buttermilk in it, which totally put me off!  But I suppose easily substituted.

Why does buttermilk as an ingredient put you off?

For that I would have to lay down on a large comfortable day bed and share with you my mothers successful brainwashing of our taste buds! 

 

But in a nutshell....

 

She hates all things yogurt/sour cream/cottage cheese and buttermilk has that sour/tartness that one associates with yogurt - so naturally; I cannot even fathom consuming the stuff!

 

 

[Owtahear]

Taiwan Dan Tsu Noodles and Xiao Long Bao.  Perhaps now my favorite meal.......some type of Chinese noodle soup and soup dumplings.  Sort of like Soup/Soup over Noodles/Noodles.

I completely get it, but have you ever had ranch dressing?  There is a definite 'tang'.  And I would certainly never actually drink buttermilk <shiver>.  But as an ingredient in baking and some salad dressings/remoulade, I don't think I really taste IT.

I have, though my guess is that it was mayo based and whatever tang was from an acid source (though I could easily be wrong!).  It's more of a mental blockade than anything else.  I am more than happy to substitute a bit of water and lemon juice to accomplish a very similar end result.

 

It's one of the reasons why I feed my kids everything and do not let any of my foibles impact them (too much... 😛)

[Margaret Pilgrim]

Fuyu with (again) raspberry vinegar/heavy cream dressing, bit of purslane

 

 

Another repeat, peppers with onions, sausage and potato...EVOO, garlic, basil, oregano, bay     Mash the potato (with skin) into the juice ->  major yum.

[robirdstx]

 

Pizza - delivered - thin crust, pepperoni, sausage, onion, mushroom - yum!
