Dinner 2020

[TicTac]

Thanks @Ann_T - easier than I thought based on how good it looks -

 

Bet it would work/be good with fish stock subbed for chicken...?

 

Too bad I don't have any fennel...and I sure am not venturing out just for that!

 

 

[Ann_T]

@TicTac, The recipe itself is pretty simple, but the roux is time consuming.   

I am not a big fan of fennel so not something I typically use, except fennel seed in Italian sausage.   I think that you could easily sub fish stock if that is your preference.

I am used to cooking risotto (constant stirring for 20+ minutes) so my wrist is up to the challenge!

 

Not necessarily my preference, but it's what the freezer spat out and thought it would work nicely...

Cold soba with shrimps, green asparagus and an onsen egg (SV, 45 min @ 63 oC). Warm mentsuyu added, as well as nori, sesame & scallions. Japanese enough to hit the spot ... 🤗

The other day I did venture out for fennel.  None was to be had.  Made do with celery and carrots.

[kayb]

Tonight is Take Out Tuesday, an effort organized locally to support the suffering restaurant industry. So we're ordering pizza and salads from the local mom-and-pop pizza joint.

 

Should be here shortly.

I have had them from them before,  pretty good.   But again fresh from the sea would be better

Cooked a bunch (around 2 lbs) boneless skinless chicken thighs on a sheet pan with slabs of red bell pepper and scallions. I had mixed up balsamic, dijon, minced garlic, and honey, tossed the chicken in that before roasting. The veg roasted in the chicken fat, which was good. I confirmed that I still don’t like chicken thighs, ate one tiny one and my husband played “human chipper” and probably ate over 1 lb himself, there are 2 left which I will freeze for his future lunch. Had some plain brown rice also.

[Paul Bacino]

Made a hot pot  ( my ceramic pots have not been cured yet, hope to soon  )  --  This is a chicken bone base broth/  Udon noodle/peas/braised Kale/ marinated shitake/ eonki/  chili paste/ white corn

 

 

 

[KennethT]

Farfalle with asparagus and a white wine and lemon sauce

[Margaret Pilgrim]

So how buckwheat percent is your soba? I spent time with a Japanese Uber driver today who wanted to engage in soba discussion.

[Bernie]

Drink more or fasta..........😀

[JoNorvelleWalker]

 

Masala dosa, minus dosa.  This time I served it with basmati.  The recipe is from Vivek Singh in The Guardian.  I like it so much I ordered his curry cookbook.  Cucumber raita on the side.

 

Why do I have two open jars of mango pickle in my refrigerator?

Roasted half a goose in the CSO last night.  Made a sauce.  Super good over the goose and taters.

Carrot salad with scallions, peanuts, sesame seeds, chili, mint, tamarind, brown sugar and fish suace.

 

 

[Duvel]

Normally, Sunday night is pizza night. But what in these times is still normal ? When weekdays and weekends blend into each other in self-confinement, it is only appropriate to react with the outmost flexibility - even if it means to have pizza night on Wednesday (accompanied by the lovely “Peter Rabbit” movie) ...

 

Margarita

 

 

Italian salami & mushrooms

 

 

Four cheeses with black olives (served with freshly ground black pepper on the individual slices)

 

 

I tried to stretch the dough completely on the working bench - and felt the crust turned out more airy than usual. To be repeated ...
