@Shelby wow!!! Looks amazing! I wish I knew how to shuck oysters! 

I know you guys could do it--if I can, anyone can.  I can't usually get them all open, Ronnie has to step in.  Some of them are stubborn.

I find thta burying them in ice, or putting them in the freezer for 15 minutes makes it a lot easier

Faux-ssoulet.

 

Almost fully repurposed dinner.  Leftover roast duck (the two legs are buried in there, we'd eaten the thighs the night before), some fresh sausage from the freezer, a frankfurter from the freezer, yellow eye beans also eaten with the duck the night before.

 

Sautéed the fresh sausage and then onions, celery, carrot, garlic. Added the beans, stirred it all up and baked for 45 minutes or so, and then topped with bread crumbs and baked for another 30 minutes or so. Really great.

[patti]

Fried shrimp, baked fries, and salad.
 

I have misplaced a small ziplock bag of dried figs and I really wanted a couple for my salad. The last I saw them they were in my husband’s hands while he was asking me a question about them. 🤨

 

 

He was allowed to have some of these (and potatoes), regardless.

Inspired by Franci's lobster dinner. I went out and got myself some. Not grilled, just sous vide'd.

We spend the afternoon hiking in the vineyards around my town. I prepared some Zwiebelkuchen and carried a few bottles of the local wine (Weissburgunder Kabinett) to accompany it. The kids enjoyed fresh smoked sausages ...

 

 

 

 

 

 

After some extensive exercise we came home to duck legs (SV, then broiled), red & green cabbage and Knödel. A hearty red from Rioja to go with the meat ...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Plenty of Schnapps followed, and I lost track of counting, taking pictures and worrying about Corona ... 😉

@Duvel your hike and meal look great. What type of dough did you use for the onion cake? Also your bowls incite envy

Thanks, @heidih!

 

The dough is a straightforward yeast dough:

 

500 g strong flour

310 g warm milk

8 g salt

10 g sugar

20 g molten butter

Instant yeast

I have no dinner to share today but a simple "like" is entirely insufficient to convey how much I enjoyed your post.  I feel like I've enjoyed a bit of crisp autumn weather, a picnic with beautiful vineyard views and a marvelous dinner with splendid wines.  

I collected my current car at the factory in Munich and was able to drive around a bit.  If I'm lucky enough to do that again, I've got your area marked for a visit.  Thanks for taking us there!

More seafood last night

 

I made a caper marinara sauce to dip the calamari in.  And wonderful scallops!!!

This is pretty much how we do tofu 90% of the time. Preheat the oven at 375/400F. Firm or extra firm tofu, blotted with paper but not pressed, cut in cubes, put in a tray and sprinkle with a starch about 40-50 g for a block (potato starch, tapioca, whatever you have around), salt,  any spice you prefer (we do the mala spice mix from flybyjin, Korean pepper used for kimchi, sesame seeds, poppy seeds), shake well the tray, so that every side of the tofu cubes are covered and then spray oo drizzle with oil (I use the chocolate gun, it’s very handy for this) and shake again. Transfer on a baking tray with parchment and cook about 20 minutes, flip the tofu and cook about 18-20 longer. You need to find your temperature, oven function and time, so it puffs slightly, stay crunchy outside but not dry.

Sounds exciting, picking up a car in Munich. BMW? (Hope you don't mind me asking! I like cars.)
