Sure - I do them at 375℉+ (ish) on convection.  After 20 minutes, I stir, toss and turn the wings over for about another 20.  This will cook them to the doneness Significant Eater enjoys (whereas I think they're done after another 15 minutes, I aim to please). 400℉ won't kill them either!

Ciorba de cartofi - smokey potato soup with lots of tarragon, some garlic, thickened with a mixture of egg yolks and sour cream, , soured with wine vinegar and served with more sour cream. A non vegetarian version should include some smoked cured meat, but I used smoked salt.

Bălmuș - cheesy baked mamaliga. Recipe link below.

Simple beans with onion, garlic, paprika.

Veggies and pickles.

Tonight’s dinner was requested already last week, when we found a sachet of Japanese bath salt from a trip to Kyushu two years ago.

It contained the salt from Umi Jigoku onsen in Beppu. The little one was super excited when he started to remember the trip (and the Onsen) and requested that after this weeks Saturday night bath an Onsen egg (which he enjoyed as well in Beppu) was in order.

Flash forward to today: after soaking (him and a pre-SV egg) in an iron sulfate-rich bath, he was ready to enjoy his Onsen tamago with some udon and men-tsuyu.

I made some side dishes to ensure everyone would be full ...

Little one was very happy. Unfortunately he discovered that the bath salt package had still three sachets left, so probably we’ll have Japanese next week again 😉

Happy taste buds (the salsa came out smoking hot - never know how hot these Morita peppers will be!)

Absolutely. They manage the ripeness of the fruit very well, always preserving the acidity. 

 

I have always been impressed by how Bordelais their Cabs/Merlot feel while using American oak.

Yup.  but I think American oak gets a bad rap unnecessarily.  When used properly (properly toasted, and using barrels rather than chips/shavings) it can be just as good as French oak.  Personally, I think the cooper has much more influence on the outcome of the wine than the species of oak.  I think American oak got a bad rap in the old days because a lot of the cooperages were inexperienced with making wine barrels (as opposed to bourbon barrels) and just over-did things.  By now, they've come a long way.  But, some houses like Ridge have always done a great job with it.

 

I remember having a conversation with Anne Gros (Burgundy)'s assistant winemaker and she was walking us through their cellar tasting us out of barrel (oh that Richebourg.... drool) and explaining to us how they request different toast levels depending on the ripeness they get that year.  It's not just a one size fits all decision.

A friend of ours is a Ridge aficionado and has a nice stash of older stuff.

Nice. Years ago when we had a weekly tasting group, someone brought some '70s and early '80s Ridge and we tasted them blind next to some very nice older Bordeaux... quite interesting indeed...

Hot diggity dog ramen.  With Brooklyn Cured franks.  Pickled cabbage with the leftovers of braised cukes and celery atop.

As Jewish delis used to do in New York (and possibly elsewhere) with coleslaw and pickles, some Chinese restaurants would put out a small plate of pickled cabbage to nosh on, while perusing the menu and waiting for food to arrive. This is a version of that.

Leftovers, kinda “asian” ...

 

Fried noodles with SV turkey and veggies, cold tofu with onsen tamago and mentsuyu, steamed baozi with mushrooms in black bean-garlic sauce and edamame. Followed by fresh lychee ... quick and easy.

Looks yummy. I made my cabbage and carrot pickle the other day, and this evening it will be a side with Dan Dan Soup. That's a version of the popular noodle dish that needs a spoon as well as chopsticks. Both the salad and soup are in regular rotation these days. 

 

I can't say I remember ever getting free cole slaw at a deli waiting for my pastrami on rye. Maybe a pickle quarter served alongside. Since I grew up uptown, Barney Greengrass was around the corner. My dad liked the Carnegie Deli best, so that was an occasional treat.

Really?!  I've always seen both given. Maybe you just mistook the slaw for a pickle.
