Dinner 2020

[Kim Shook]

@Shelby – every time I see your fries, I want some.  So I think I’ll be doing that soon.  But I want many, many more than you.  So, I think I’ll have a meal of JUST FRIES.  With some catsup and salt and vinegar for sprinkling.  I don’t know what Mr. Kim will say about such a meal. 

 

@MetsFan5 – that BGE meal is about the most delicious thing I’ve heard of in forever.  One of our traditions when we go to the Outer Banks is to stop on our last meal there at a restaurant that does steamed trays of seafood.  Mine is always clams and shrimp.  I can only imagine what corn would add to that! 

 

Jessica came over last night for dinner and to watch Hamilton.  We had cheese and carbs basically, since I forgot the salad I’d made in the fridge🙄.  Ruhlman’s Cheese Soufflés from the freezer:

 

Cheese board and crackers:

Including the cheeses from Aldi that the Easter Bunny brought Jessica (she’s 36😄😞

 

 

Plus, a Wensleydale with blueberries that she brought.  We are big Wensleydale and oatcake fans. The Aldi cheeses were actually pretty good.  And, because you can never have too many carbs:

Exactly.

 

  

 

Mann's had copywrited CAULILINI as a selling vehicle.    (Mann's is a long established produce grower.   I went to school with the previous generation whose parents were orchardists.  The subsequent incarnations have been very adept at product promotion. )

@Kim Shook, carbs and cheese is the best combination ever, and that meal looks delicious.

Back in the mad wild days of youth, I used to often (oh, yes, far too often!) make a meal of a fresh baguette and some kind of potted cheese (Kakauna, Boursin, Kraft Old English, I was--and indeed am--not fussy,)  Not exactly stellar in terms of nutrition, but so delicious!

Made another batch of the no knead molasses bread.  This time I used a higher proportion of whole wheat flour (2 parts AP to 1 part WW).  Came out great.

 

Dinner was more broccolini with panko shrimp.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Okay, the shrimp and broccolini looks good, but that bread looks absolutely wonderful.  And no knead?  Can you point me to a recipe, please?

Dinner last night was carnitas, made in the IP then finished in the BSOA on air fryer mode.  Served with Spanish-style rice, refried beans and avocado.

 

 

[MetsFan5]

Shrimp on the Barbie. To be followed by Turkey London broil. 
 

 

[BeeZee]

Cooked indoors, too wiped out after golf to be in the heat. Sauteed shrimp, “Asian” slaw, brown rice, bottled coconut peanut sauce from Whole Foods, peanuts for added crunch.

[MetsFan5]

@BeeZee where do you play?

from memory...it was 1/3 cup drained oil-packed sundried tomatoes...chopped

1 cup mayo

1 room temp box of cream cheese

1/2 tbsp sriracha

1.5 tbsp finely diced shallots

salt and generous ground pepper

 

I mixed the mayo and cheese in a small processor and folded the rest in by hand.  Its best after resting overnight or at least a few hours.

Happy 4th of July!!!

Cantonese steamed black bass done in the CSO with hon shimenji mushrooms and

Red bok choi

[Dante]

Slow cooker wings with sesame/maple bbq sauce (finished in the air fryer) with corn and grits on the side.

[BonVivant]

I eat this every fortnight, with different various components each time. Chunks of fried hake (from the market fishmonger).

 

Love pork rinds! First boiled then stir-fried together with fermented black beans and Lao Gan Ma. Sprinkled with pan dry roasted Sichuan peppercorns.

 

Also beet greens with fresh turmeric and garlic

 

The rest of pork rinds got turned into snacks

 

So, restrictions have been further eased but...

[liuzhou]

Chicken with garlic, ginger, chilli, capers and green olives marinated then cooked in wine, thickened with a little potato starch and finished with coriander leaf. Aparagus and Jade Gill Mushrooms (蟹味菇 xiè wèi gū - a type of shimeji). Couscous.

 

 

 

 

[weinoo]

I was gonna say that your rice looks funny, but...

 

 

Steam girl roasted small (2.5 lbs.) poulet rouge from Joyce Farms.  Started breast down, flipped and finished breast up. Nice and moist, if less than perfect skin.

Heldzl for the cook.
