After a long 8 mile walk along the beach before sunset  I was in the mood for seafood.  The fish is snapper

Especially on your favourite plate!

Interesting how aesthetics differ :

 

for me , this sort of broccoli reminds me of some sort of

 

green malignant metastatic tumor .

 

right their on the surface of what might have been a pretty tasty 

 

bit of broccoli.

 

just saying.

Absolutely stunning.

Matar paneer, chicken tikka curry with yogurt-mint raita, naan and maharajah rice.  I made the paneer in the morning and got the chicken into the marinade, then my sister came over and finished preparing dinner for us while my husband and I travelled to the hospital my father in law is at to attend the final directives family meeting with his medical team.  I was glad to have this warm and spicy dinner waiting when we got home.

Thanks.  Depending on which shriveled brown balls, they're eggs (74C, 40 minutes) or meatballs.

Cook the eggs, Kenji method, 74C for 40 minutes.  Then kombu dashi according to Dave Arnold: 1 hour 65C.  Meanwhile cut the daikon, squash, and potato; then simmer with a drop lid till slightly tender.  Add vegetables to A4Box pan.  Rinse meatballs with vegetable water to remove any grease.  Add meatballs.  Combine dashi with leftover dashi from the refrigerator, mirin, shoyu, and stuff.  Peel and add eggs.  Simmer in A4Box about two hours.

Nope.  Shizuo Tsuji (or should that now be Tsuji Shizuo) says for oden pork and beef meatballs may be employed in place of fish products.

15 g kombu per liter, per Dave Arnold.  I also use deionized water, frozen so I can vacuum seal it.

Chicken cacciatore.

 

@JoNorvelleWalker, would you please share your version of Chicken Cacciatore.  Most recipes are based on a tomato sauce I prefer it without.

Why does deionized water make a difference when vacuum sealing?

[rotuts]

I understand 

 

Fz water w a VacSystem

 

that does not have an Oil Pump

 

extends the life of the Non Oil Pump

 

which eventually 

 

will not enjoy Water Vapor and

Saucy , for the Plate
