@Shelby, you make the best fries.   

 

Bought a small Strip Loin roast that I cut in half for two 2 1/2" thick steaks .

I froze one and the other I presalted on Saturday.

Grilled it tonight. Perfect size for two thick slices.

Served with roasted potatoes and roasted tomatoes. Tomatoes were from our garden.

Chicken thighs and sweet potato, both made on the pellet grill.

A nice Ribeye steak pan fried with veg and mushroom sauce.

Dinner experiment- making Hamburger Helper from scratch

Improvised rice and beans dish, with pepper, onion, garlic, tomato sauce, paprika, oregano, and grilling seasoning

[Wait. Wot]

 

Leftover veg from last night augmented with our beet greens and served with pollack fillets seasoned with dried  vegetable garlic and herbs seasoning,  butter, white wine and capers.

Vietnamese crepe (banh xeo).    In the country, reliable recipe in the city, so this was a cobble.   Not right, but hit the right flavor elements.  Next time in town!

Made the rest of the spinach pasta with Mario Batali’s bolognese. Garlic bread and salad (not pictured).

Your food photography is always amazing. You make real food look as good as the food stylist do with the fake food. Love that butter dripping off the bread.

[Paul Bacino]

Beef PHo  retooled!!

 

Was leftover broth and bits/  added radish stem /leafs/ Nasturtium leaf  --radish components are nice ad tender  ..different but not killing the effect

RV cooking: what can I do all in one pot? Last night it was piergoies and onion and leek and bratwurst. Simmered in the instant pot until done, with strawberries for dessert.

[liuzhou]

Thai-style red curry shrimp.

 

 

 

[Shelby]

@liuzhouAs always, I want those shrimp.

 

Been getting some really nice fruit from Misfits and Imperfect and wanted a fruit salad.  Used one of @Kim Shook's recipes that has Grand Marnier in the dressing.  Good stuff.

 

That was dessert that went with fried chicken--and all from the garden okra, potatoes, Such good sweet corn and cucumbers

 

 

Pizza and salad night

 

 

Taco salads last night

Another print and frame.   It occurs to me that I could easily "paper" a dining room with food photos from eGullet.

No matter what others may say I’ve always thought the best dumpling is a friend dumpling. It has always been a bit of a family activity to gather and make a bunch of these, “many hands make light work” as they say. I’ve always liked pork and cabbage as a filling, as much as I enjoy chives they do make them hard to take to work thr next day for lunch (there’s a funky smell when you reheat them)

I do enjoy the pork, chive, cabbage but the smell in the office can be on the list for some with burnt microwave popcorn. Do you use head cabbage or something more akin to Napa? I agree that the group gathering to make them makes it more special like tamale making at Christmas or Banh Tet for Vietnamese Lunar New Year.

I asked Charlie if he wanted me to pick  up anything at the store for dinner tonight. He thought for a while and asked for meatballs and spaghetti.
