Aahhh pork neck Not in mainstream stores here but always lovely pieces esp in Korean markets.

 I couldn't do with just a Spag Boll.  So with just a little more effort I mixed up Pork, Veal & Beef for meat balls.

[chefmd]

Rockfish with asparagus, salsa verde.  I ordered a bunch of unusual white wines from Chateau Ste Michelle, this is one of them.

I am in the teglia alla romana phase again. Sorry, you are going to see many of them. Same dough of the pizza I made also a ciambella bread.  And my husband with the excuse we are not going out keeps buying jamons. So, we had a little bit of jamon, chorizo Fermin, pizza, and bread, salad. 

 

 

[Franci]

Forgot to post this of the little one when she saw bread 🤣

So I went back to the Thai Grocer today... Picked up some green papaya, more coconut milk, more durian coconut snacks, thai basil, galangal, palm sugar, spicy coconut paste, some incense, a few dry noodles.. One thing that is shocking is, they don't have peanuts or cashews.  I ask every time I go, knowing they don't but, kind of just want to be like, sell damn peanuts.. Sell cashews, what are you doing?  But, instead, i just do my gentle nudge.  "do you have any peanuts"  No, we do not sell them.. "oh, is it because you are sold out"  No, we just don't carry them.. "Huh, that's odd, I feel like peanuts are cashews are in a lot of different thai dishes"  And I am met with a blank stare.. We have done this maybe three times in the last two weeks.  

 

Anyway.. Papaya split and shredded I maybe used a quarter of one.. 

 

 

 

 

This is it prior to it being all mixed up... Shredded cabbage, papaya, blanched green beans, carrot, crushed peanuts, thai chile peppers (3 VERY HOT) palm sugar, lime juice and soy sauce.. When I am not eating plant based, I like the little raw crabs, the little salty rehydrated shrimp or at the very least, a lot of fish sauce.. It was sorely missing the fish sauce but, that's not on my plan right now.

Yes, but did you have to share the picture?

Kian Lam Kho, Phoenix Claws and Jade Trees Red-Cooked Pork.

 

[CantCookStillTry]

I did Honey Balsamic Pulled Pork Sandwiches with A quick Raddish Slaw. 

 

Pork was a little too sweet for me, my fault, I pulled up on the Vinegar & it really needs more tang to offset it 🙂. 

 

 

 

[shain]

Seeded bread with a porridge of oat bran and cornmeal. Sesame, poppy, flax, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, a little caraway and coriander seeds.

Salad with fennel, arugula, mullberries, almonds, olive oil, balsamic vinegar.

Emmentaler, Buche, Cheddar, Sirene.

Every day I am so thankful for this thread and everyone that posts on it.  Helps me think of dinner ideas and lifts my mental state!

 

Still getting a lot of asparagus from the garden...but that will end very soon as it's supposed to be 100 degrees today and very hot in the coming week. I made some pasta dough earlier this week.  I got too much hydration so it's very difficult to work with, but I wasn't about to toss out 4 eggs worth of dough.  It tastes good, even though it looks not so good.  Oxtail ragu on top.

 

 

Big salad along with some decent store bought corn that's been in the fridge for a while and chicken gizzards

I have too much cabbage taking up fridge real estate and some leftover soyrizo so... thanks for the inspiration

[Okanagancook]

@Shelby  I too had a wetter than ideal pasta dough to deal with recently.  I find if I roll out the dough with a hand rolling pin to about six inches, generously flour and fold into itself to create three layers, turn the dough 90 degrees and roll out to six inches, then crank it through the pasta roller a couple of times.  This can be repeated until the dough is the way you want it.  Your meals are always interesting and inspiring.

Ahh, the 'poor student' mass produced packaged ramens.  Fan or pho? (no pun). I'm sure a topic well dissected by the EG nation somewhere. I love their base potential.  Quick meal? Check. Rid the fridge of everything taking up too much space and about to go bad? Check. Challenge to make something tasty? Check.  Very difficult to screw up? Check, check check!    

 

In order; about 2 qts water, onion, celery, sweet peppers, bokchoy, shredded chicken, coconut milk, fish sc, red curry paste, 1 'shrimp' and 1 'oriental' pkg of Manuchen ramen (both packets used), 1 scrambled egg, lime juice, cilantro and thai basil (from garden).  A one hit wonder never to be repeated.

Right you are, and here it is, ready for more participants and inspiration!  eG Cook-Off #72: Ramen

I watched „Somebody feed Phil“ yesterday, the Chicago episode. Craved a fried polish hot dog topped with sweet onions the whole day. Netflix be damned ...

Oh gosh - I have severe bi-valve envy. Maybe I'll at least find local mussels at the farmers market on Sunday.

Two nights ago...time flies...

 

 

I braised these lovely globe artichokes. It's a good thing they're lovely, cause they cost like $4 a piece! (I remember, years ago when living in San Jose, getting big artichokes at 4 for $1!!)  But then when I used to be able go to restaurants, and said restaurants had artichokes on their menus, and said artichokes were like $16, I understand. I wanted to make it easy for Significant Eater, so I butchered the artichokes before service...

 

 

Significant Eater, no yogurt lover she, was in love with the dipping stuff. Whereupon I had to confess; yogurt based, a little mayo, horseradish, pimenton, lemon, garlic powder, olive oil. And 4 perfect artichoke heart halves.

 

That was the fancy part. The main plate - reheated everything. Fried polenta (what a fucking mess that makes!), meatballs in sauce, mushroom ragout...
