Made a knockoff version of spicy rigatoni from Carbone. 
 

It’s a version of penne alla vodka served at Carbone in SoHo NY (and Hong Kong and Vegas). Basically a vodka sauce with San Marzano tomatoes and Calabrian pepper paste, combined with an onion soubise.

I think they serve the same dish at Parm as well. Looks great.

I have been making a chicken recipe with a honey and orange sauce since Charlie was little, so when I saw this one with orange, I wanted to try it. It is good but I have not decided yet if it like it better.  It is batter fried and so a lot more effort to make it.

Scallops with roast cauliflower puree and veg.

 

Perhaps I was a little generous with the puree.

Looks great. Do you only sear the scallops on one side. I just had a dismal failure trying to sear scallops. Couldn't get them to release from the pan. What's your secret?

It's almost never bad to feed someone.

What did Charlie think? Was the older recipe pan fried or sauteed?

Charlie is out with friends.  I don't know if he will be home before dark.  He will have leftovers tomorrow, I suppose.  The older recipe was oven baked. It uses whole Cornish hens. 

 

Good memories on the Cornish Game Hens back in the 80's. Did them in a fruit & wine sauce that inckuded cranberry, and roasted with grapes with a bit a sausage in thr cavity. Sounds like Charlie is ore in the camo of what we here refer to as Panda Express Orange Chicken, Trder Joes used toi and may stil have it in the freezer section, You bake the breaded pieces till crisp and it comes with orange sauce.

Thanks!

 

I just gave a light sear to the bottoms. I was lazy.

 

I cook them sous vide to 123F, that way the big ones and the little ones are equally cooked.

 

Then I sear them in hot butter in a well-seasoned carbon steel pan.  No problems with release.

This recipe that I tried today may be a Panda Express copycat. The chef who wrote it was Asian and said it was better than take-out.  I don't remember if I ever ate at Panda Express.  I probably did once or twice but I don't remember specifically if or when.  Charlie still asks for the Game hen recipe at least a couple times a year.

My birthday dinner

Many happy returns. It is so unusual to see you cooking for yourself instead of for Moe! Yet I am certain you enjoyed each other’s company while you devoured such great food.

Ann_t's birthday dinner is gorgeous. I did the same August 15th for my birthday. I requested homemade scrapple/varregated eggs breakfast, stuffed squash blossom brunch/salad...then lobster rolls dinner....thankfully it fell on a Sunday. DH loves prep and chopping but not seasoning/finishing. So we had lobster rolls Sunday, scrapple/eggs Monday, then squash blossoms Tuesday. Three day birthday. My eyeballs were too big for prepping all that.
