Lunch 2020

Recommended Posts

Today we did the 100 lunches for 3 homeless shelters alone again (if we pack and deliver them by ourselves no one else is exposed to one another.  We got lunch to bring home from Hogshead Café - a local BBQ and seafood place.  I got the Pork Wings and hush puppies:

Braised shanks fried and topped with BBQ sauce.  Mr. Kim got the steamed shrimp:

A friend hit up the farmer’s market today and picked up some sweet Japanese turnips for me. I am sometimes subject to poor impulse control, so lunch was Japanese turnips with miso and a bit of King Arthur soft wrap bread on the side.

Question about Japanese turnips.  I've been reading a recipe in Nancy Singleton Hachisu's Food Artisans of Japan:  four-hour caramelized turnips with parsley sauce.  She says to cook the turnips four hours sous vide.  But she neglects to specify a temperature.  Is there a particular temperature Japanese sous vide their turnips?

The virus has scuppered my planned return to Austria is year but it can't stop me from making Austrian food.

"Button dumplings" with scrambled eggs.

My first home-made aquachile. I enjoyed it many times in Mexico.

I like my oysters raw but made an exception this time.

I can't speak to how it's done in Japan, but I tried it once, per this Anova recipe, for 30 minutes @ 85ºC. It was an underwhelming outcome, so I haven't revisited turnips-under-vacuum. Four hours, you say? Hmm.

Thanks.  Maybe she has an erratum listed somewhere giving the temperature for the recipe.

Late lunch or early dinner, whichever. Pork chop, fried potatoes with onion, purple hull peas with tomato relish.

@weinoo thanks for reminding me that I have that same Cuisinart panini/ griller whatever. 
  I’ve never used it! 

They work pretty well for what they are meant to do.

Chili-rubbed salmon sandwiches. Fresh bread and perfectly cooked fish made for a great lunch.  The thick end of the fillet had that melty, oozy, buttery texture that made it hard to quit "trimming".

@robirdstx - that sandwich looks perfect.  I love tuna on rye!

 

We had to run to Penzey's to pick up an order today, so we got lunch to bring home from a favorite place in our old urban neighborhood.  Pizza and Steak & cheese subs:

Still the best pizza, as far as we know, in Richmond.  I could wish for a more bubbly crust, but the sauce and proportions are spot on.  Ignore the mustard on the sub.  Mr. Kim was wearing a mask and we figured that she mistook what he asked for.

And what was it that he asked for?

Shrimp with butter, garlic, garlic chives, parsley, cilantro, lime juice. Local asparagus that came in a variety of sizes.  I served the skinny ones raw.  Some were jumbo (not shown).
