Sharp eye! It is indeed.

It's a local product in my case, the factory is within 10 minutes drive :P

Wow, I never made the connection w Caesarea.  I have vivid memories of visiting the theater on a JNF trip 20yrs ago. Very cool.  Can't wait to tell my shiksa.

X2! - If only I had the time to bust out the D600 prior to feeding the horde.

 

But the horde is hungry, and one must satisfy said hunger lest you feel ( aka; hear) their wrath!

Remember when food pics were all about restaurant dishes? I can't imagine going back to that.

A dinner I made with leftovers from the care packages that went to the kids.
 

Black Bean Garlic Beef & Bitter Melon over Ho Fun. Good fresh Ho Fun is hard to find. At our local store, they are packed so tightly and vacuum sealed that they basically crumble when they hit the wok. Now, I use the dried noodles that I hydrate before cooking. They retain a bit of chew and so easy to stir-fry. I love the fresh noodles when I can get into the big city Chinese grocery stores.

 Had tofu and bell peppers in the fridge that needed using up. So, it was spicy tofu. ground pork, onions, and peppers in spicy toban sauce. Tossed in some ground up Szechuan peppercorns for that extra zing!

A former colleague is married to a Chinese lady who has not done much Western cooking, like his favourite - lemon meringue pie. They were coming into town for apptns, so I made him a pie last night for pick up today! I only gave them half a pie as his wife is keeping close tabs on his calories!🤪 It helps us out too as we don't want to eat a whole pie!

@Eatmywords – lovely looking almond cookies!

 

@Shelby – my left shoulder is damp from Mr. Kim leaning over me and drooling at your muffuletta!  When we went to NOLA, that was the one place that he requested we go.  He’d been there for a business trip and fallen in love with them.   

 

Dinner last night – salads to start:

Aldi Red Bag Chicken fillets on brioche buns with long grain and wild rice and applesauce:

IMG_5149.thumb.jpg.e4935e4139d5c50090588d51439aeb91.jpg

These are frozen fully cooked boneless breast cutlets.  They are decent for when we want a chicken sandwich without going out or making a mess.

I’ve been anxiously waiting for crawfish to be both reasonably priced and a decent size. We’ve usually had boiled crawfish by this point in crawfish season. The big freeze has not helped. I had to satisfy my envie with frozen, packaged tail meat. But at least they are Louisiana crawfish.

My step dad is Cajun and now lives in Colorado with my mom--been married for 21 years now.  They (and me) always order fresh crawdads....last year it wasn't feasible.  Hoping to do this year.

We didn’t buy any live crawfish last season, either. Might have been a first for us.

Crawdads - grew up with them in the 2 local lakes. A curiosity we were too clueless t think about eating them. Ten again water quality probably questionable due to run-off. Are most of the Louisiana ones "farmed" now?  @pattigood lookin dish

The season for wild caught doesn’t usually start until March and farmed sometimes starts before Christmas. The vast majority of Louisiana crawfish are farmed. Although some people look down on farmed crawfish, I don’t. You don’t need to hear my opinions on that, though!

 

And thanks.

You won't find a recipe for this in any Sichuan cookbook, but it is replete with Sichuan flavours and attitude. Not for the faint hearted.

Prawns with asparagus, garlic, ginger, green Sichuan peppercorns, fresh green chilli, dried red chilli, doubanjiang and scallions. Rice.

The three dried chillies on the rice are meant to read (chuān) as in 四川 (sì chuān) which is a common abbreviation for the province.

@TicTac Korean potatoes?  Do you pickle your own carrots?

Korean Sweet potatoes, my mistake.  White fleshed variety - absolutely amazing roasted.

 

And yes, I did!  Typically used for tacos, but I needed a heat element and these called out to me.
