I was thinking tonight how much our dinner time has changed since covid.  In the before times, dinner was served at 8:30 during the week due to commuting.  Now with my husband working at home full time and my sister getting off at 4PM, we eat between 5:30 and 6.  That's probably better for the digestion but makes me feel old 😄

This morning's dinner was served at 2:00 am.

We are sorry for the delay! It's a simple recipe for a quick pickle, based on a recipe from J. Weissman.

Ingredients:

1 cucumber

1 fennel with its leaves

360g apple cider vinegar

180g water

15g salt

15g white sugar

Optional: dill, garlic

 

Method:

Cut the cucumber into 1cm slices. Cut the fennel on a mandolin (2-3mm slices). Combine both in a jar. Bring to boil the vinegar and water. Dissolve the salt and sugar in the liquids. Pour the liquid over the vegetables. Cover and cool down. Ready to eat in 2-3h. It can be stored in the fridge for weeks.

 

Many thanks!

Salmon Quenelles in a Lobster Sauce.

The photo is not very appetizing. My fault for plating the Quenelles and then spooning the lobster sauce around them. They kind of got lost in the sauce. Should have added the sauce to the plate and then topped with the Quenelles.
I have always loved Quenelles, but I found the flavour of the salmon, not quite as delicate as halibut or another white fish.
If I make them again it will be with halibut.

Veal cutlets and tomato-edamame salad with burrata

 

Interesting that you call them cutlets - they appear to have bones, and I've always associated cutlets as boneless things. But butchery is obviously different in different countries.

Pork stir-fried with a Szechuan style sauce, along with the only vegetables workable and in the fridge - peppers, celery, carrots, scallions.

Might be more of a wording issue than actually a butchery topic ... I had this, but learned the term “cutlet” for it.

Cotoletta (meaning cutlet) alla milanese in Italy is also bone-in. Cutlet does not necessarily mean off-the-bone.

 

Except in the United States, where if you go into any butcher shop in America, and ask for cutlets, they will be boneless. After the butcher asks what kind of cutlet you want. That's why i asked @Duvel the question.

So noodles it is!

     The youngest and goofiest princess! They actually want JUST noodles. I added beef and beansprouts to the adults' version.

I also had some dim sum items: store bought har gow, xiao lung baos, and I made sticky rice in lotus leaf. They each have their preferences, and Nana aims to please when we have these rare gatherings.

Kung Po Gai for supper last night, using up the leftover Crudités from the princesses' visit

Then I put my life at risk making dim sum style braised chicken feet! Luckily, I had a huge wok with a big lid as the feet splattered like crazy even though I fried them really well first. I remember then why I deep fried them outside on a turkey fryer in the past! The fried feet were dunked into ice water, then braised in black bean garlic chili sauce in the Instant Pot.  They were maybe over cooked at 30 minutes and natural release, but so lip smacking delicious!

Being down south at my Dad's I have been steak-deprived since he has trouble chewing it.  We were also pretty low in the freezer, so I picked up some tri-tips and sliced one into steaks.  Cooked SV then seared, served with TJ's latkes made in the air fryer and steamed Brussels Sprouts with butter.

And since there seems to be a lack of good BBQ in his area,  I made some Blasphemy Ribs and have vacuum sealed them and froze them to take down.  Here are half of them sealed:

@Dejah I notice your chicken feet had the complete claw slice off. The ones I get are usually with claw. Your experience? (also fun to paint them and use in Halloween haunted house)

I'd love to know specically how you did your haddock. Looks like a good treatment for the halibut we have.

When butchering tri-tip into steaks, there are always small pieces not really big enough to be a steak.  So I cut them up for stew meat, and if I'm not cutting a lot of steaks, I'll trim some of the tips off to pad the stew meat.  So beef stew made with tri-tip trimmings, onion, carrot, celery, peas, corn and potato.  Made in the IP.

Cioppino with halibut, spot prawns, clams and mussels.
The halibut and spot prawns are from Walcan Seafoods. 
I picked up the clams and mussels from a local seafood shop in Duncan.

@heidih: Can't remember what previous chicken feet were like. These seemed shorter on the "handle"? Used to get them from the Hutterite colony close by. Don't have any contacts these days. Will have to check next time I go to the big Chinese supermarket. I remember tying several up one Halloween and hung it on my neighbor's mailbox. Freaked her out! 😆


A friend gave me a container of Schawarma seasoning. I marinated chicken breasts and had plans to grill on the BBQ.  But it was blowing with gale force winds then snow! So I grilled stove top then finished in the oven.
Eaten with peas and mint in Basmati rice and stir-fried mixed vegetables.

My brain went to the band Little Feat and their song "Dixie Chicken," but was unable to complete the dad joke due to lack of caffeine.

...or maybe a suspicion that it wouldn't be worth the effort. :P
