What's your technique for pan frying? Do you have issues with sticking or are you using a non-stick pan?

 

Oh yes, I confess to using non-stick for these.  I use grapeseed oil, bring it up to temp, put the dumplings in, wait till they get browned a bit, and then add the chicken stock. Cover, cook for about 6 (?) minutes, then uncover and let the remaining liquid cook off and finish crisping up the dumplings.This batch came out almost perfect - love the contrast of the crispy and soft skin!

@shain, I'm jealous of those gorgeous breads! I'm assuming that you made all these focaccia at the same time. How large are they? How long are they fresh?

 

Does your family have to eat focaccia for breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner and midnight snack? For how many days?

(Not that I'd mind)

 

Thanks :)

I think that I used a total of 750g flour for all four. The largest was roughly 30cm wide. The rest are each nearly half the size.

We had family for that dinner, and us four people ate half of it. The rest is frozen. Being white bread, it would otherwise stale quickly.

Our freezer is currently stuffed with various breads and flatbreads, so while we eat some bread everyday, the focaccia is still mostly untouched.

 

In case someone was wandering, our freezer currently holds half a loaf of walnut rye bread, oatmeal sandwich bread, a package of pitas (most important!), some laffahs, a box of injera, a box of dabo bread, one lachouch, one spinach fatayer (the large flat type, not the triangle), a few simiths, a few rolls, and the focaccias. Only the latter made by me. And since it's rosh hashanah I'll probably end up making a challah too... And then I wonder why we never have freezer space...

Charlie's request for dinner was for pork bulgogi which we already had some in the freezer. We had it with rice and kim chi.  Yesterday I got a really nice and ripe peach from the market so that was dessert. I put some raspberry jam in the middle, grilled them a little than poured some melted ice cream over it.

My SIL suggested I get new plates...?

That rib eye is a thing of beauty.  Time and temp for the SV, and then how long on the grill? Did you chill in between?

Contrary to my Jewish roots, I can't stand leftovers. But I'll make an exception for this. Last night's Peking duck leftovers turned into duck noodles tonight. Stir fry sauce made with duck stock from the carcass, oyster, soy and sweet soy sauces. Duck meat and recrisped duck skin.... And a little treat. Thanks to the Coravin, a spot of Anne Gros Clos Vougeot, showing really nicely. It has an amazing acidity so it will last forever and a gorgeous nose.

Temperatures are really cooling off by supper time, single digits with frost a couple of nights.
Time for some "stoking up the internal furnace" kinda meals:

 

Finally found pearl onions, so made Beef Bourguignon, eaten with egg noodles. Carrots tossed in at the end for additional veg.

               Memories of my Mom's cooking - Chicken, Mung Bean Noodles, Lap Cheung, napa cabbage, and Salted Fish ( Ham Yu) in clay pot. Love Romano beans!

    Good fresh clams and mussels are hard to come by, but I've been able to get pretty good frozen cooked mussels at Safeway, and frozen clams from our local Chinese grocery. With these in the freezer, it was easy to have paella whenever we want!

Haven't made this recipe for a long time - Chicken and Dates Tagine. Used a heavy casserole as I don't have a tagine...YET It's coming in October from a friend. Threw in some white potatoes, sweet potatoes, and a red onion along with the casserole  in the oven.

Although the salad greens aren’t visible, there is arugula, butter lettuce and red leaf lettuce, topped with shrimp, avocado, bacon, red onion, and tomato. 
 

Not pictured is a wedge of overdone cornbread, which ended up broken up into pieces like croutons. That was not the plan, but it’s what happened.

It's that time of year again when the mecury begins rising to the mid thirties, the air con switches back on - and my cold northern hemisphere soul turns its seasonsally confused attention to rich brown gravys and stews and all things root vegetable 🤦‍♀️

Blade steak, onion, carrot, swede, turnip, red wine and stock etc

Dinner has been weird this week, because I'm in a cooking funk, need to find some new recipes! :) 

Here we have an old fave, fave e cicorie.

IMG_6846.jpg.5335811ff93c0c646c8171e91e219f6d.jpg

 

Then we had fried zucchini flowers, three different kinds of peppers (peperoni amollicati, which has onions, bread crumbs and vinegar, roasted peppers with olive oil and capers and fried friggitelli peppers) and barbecued chicken with an alla diavola marinade. The flowers didn't come out great. I stuffed some with ricotta and anchovy but the ricotta was a little too watery and they were essentially ruined.

We are always looking for everyday bubbles because we are bubble-dependent, especially for the aforementioned fried zucchini flowers. This is our latest bottle to try. It costs 15 euros a bottle. I used to get amazing Franciacorta from a little-known grower, but he and his wife both got Covid and passed away and his son decided to rent the vineyards to another larger winery. They only have about 5,000 bottles left.

Pasta e fagioli made with fresh Borlotti beans. 

IMG_8616.jpg.a796853091704db1a56d00d5df2ee31c.jpg

 

And finally there was some (sort of) Singapore chicken rice, with sweet soy sauce and chili sauce. It's one of our favorite dishes. IMG_7935.jpg.2dc100df9769b7edf26fd2c3abf2d099.jpg

Yesterday I put a pork roast in the slow cooker along with some of our new potatoes that I've stored in the basement and some carrots.  Made a pretty good gravy to go with.

 I am on Cape Cod for the next month, so will be eating lots of seafood. Last night, I made a cold lobster roll

And brown butter lobster rolls (with an extra scallop that would not fit in my roll)
