Dinner was a production. Literally...

Much of the mise for dumpling production. Then I got a bright idea...

To not only make pork wontons, but also make some out of duck. And here putting to use my grandma's chopping bowl and hockmesser, to chop up some raw duck with some of the other ingredients. It worked great.

I'm way beyond making these one at a time.

I made a lot - like 30 or so with duck, and 60 with pork.  Now, if I could only remember which were which.

The triangles are made so that they can be pan fried (I'll try actual potsticker shapes soon).

Boiled and fried dumplings, stir-fried cabbage, dipping stuff.

Not paella, but a close cousin - soupy rice with chicken and duck and a little chorizo.

Simple chicken and veggie stir fry with rice, watched over by an Inuksuk/Inukshuk (probably better referred to as an inunnguat or inunnguaq, I guess) that was made from Kenora black granite by a good friend in Manitoba.

Chipotle Pork Sliders and store bought onion rings.

A few years ago, I found this recipe on Epicurious. It's a nice change from beef burgers. We tend to like slider size over a huge burger, so I started making them like that. And Trader Joe's has slider buns now that we keep in the freezer.

The burger is ground pork, Chipotle, garlic and adobo. I make a Mayo with adobo, lime and cilantro, and it's garnished with avocado, fresh tomatillo slices , cilantro and cheese.

how do you do your cold rice noodles ?

 

cook , soak etc

 

then what do you do pre-cill so they dont stick together as

 

a massive R,Noodle ball ?

 

I cook them and wash well (best in a bowl, rather than under a stream). If they are not over cooked they won't stick much. I have the sauce ready ahead, and mix it soon after draining.

Same method for wheat pasta/noodles.

I only ever add oil to pasta intended for soup, where it is likely to be sitting for a while on its own.

Georgian goodies. An Adjaruli khachapuri and bread of the same dough, which I froze a couple of weeks ago.

The khachapuri was buttered and baked until well browned and crisp, then topped with an egg yolk, to be mixed into the cheese before eating.

Pkhali (vegetable and walnuts spread with spices such as garlic coriander, cumin, fenugreek and vinegar) - spinach & beetroot.

Roasted portobello filled with ricotta and walnuts, some herbs.

A take on egg fu yong.  As an experiment I baked it instead of deep or pan frying it.  35 minutes at 350F plus 6 minutes under the broiler to brown up the top.  Filling was char siu, mushrooms, green onion, cabbage, carrots and bean sprouts.  Came out very good, but I will likely pan-fry it next time I make it.  The gravy was re-purposed from the leftover pot roast gravy with a few mushrooms added.

I think I am in desperate need of good fish, that tastes like the sea, if possible 😊 My daughter why didn’t you make spaghetti with tuna underoil 🤣 I guess she was totally right.

Smart girl educated by a mom who knows food. One of the clerks at my grocery store fishes in all his free time. Mostly rockfish in Santa Monica Bay  (not the healthiest bay but) or trout from stocked ponds. EVERYONE loves him :) He shares. My Alaska connection unfortunately retired to Las Vegas. Divorced the one who fished in Baja - only regret - no marlin.  Memories..

I bought frozen farmed salmon filets from my costco last month and.. they are... surprisingly good.  Individually vacuum sealed, too.

Thanks, @jedovaty, those are always in my freezer, like the cod from Costco and their scallops are the only frozen scallops I’d buy. I guess I need to wait for one more year to go to Spain or Italy for the kind of seafood I have in mind 😅
