THIS is all I have in my "book". The portions, taste for tang and heat are up to you to adjust. Google and see what comes up.

                                           

 

Thank you - I'd been forgetting the day lilies. 

[MokaPot]

Thanks so much, @Dejah. Love handwritten recipes like this!

[Duvel]

Quick pizza to accompany lazy afternoon movie (“Bedknobs & broomsticks”): straight yeast dough @70% hydration, 30 min bulk rise with 3x stretch & fold (10 min apart), before balling and 20 final rise. No other kneading. I am surprised how well this works - total pizza from scratch in one hour. Wasn’t half bad ...

Loved that movie as a kid.

Had a real moment of deja vu in the final Potter movie when Maggie Smith cast the spell that sent all of those statues and suits of armor out to fight the invaders.

Blackened shrimp with grilled green squash.

Hurt my jaw last night, and it's swollen. So it's soft food for lunch.

I had picked up Cantonese BBQ ducks and Siu Yook (crispy skin BBQ pork) from the Chinese grocery. because I am a regular, the owner gave me several BBQ Pork bones for soup.
Those are SO full of flavour and still a lot of meat attached.

I used 2 smaller pieces to make jook / congee for lunch today. It was really flavourful! Eaten with preserved egg, Chinese crueller, and few slivers of crackling.

Saturday lunch with wine.

Ventresca tuna with white beans, blanched green beans, tomatoes, capers and sweet onion.

dressing was olive oil and moscatel sherry vinegar.

Wine was the best IMHO Bandol Rose from Domaine Tempier

[MokaPot]

@scamhi, your salad looks absolutely delicious.

 

What kind of white beans are those? If they're canned, can you say what type of bean / brand. If you made them from dry, I'd be interested to know where you got them from (type of bean / brand).

 

Thank you!

Thank you!

these were cannellini beans a regular size can Publix brand- limited resources and whole foods is a 25 minute drive away

Thanks, @scamhi. I use canned beans a lot, but for some reason the canned white beans are always mushy and busted-up. Even the Bush's brand, which is normally good, IMO.

No, those are not soup dumplings, though quite similar. Those are purchased hand made khinkali, filled with mushrooms (the traditional feeling is beef/lamb) flavored with onion, dill, cilantro, some spices. Pretty good. I opted to steam them, because the dough is thin and some bursted when I first tried boiling them. Topped simply with pepper.

Served with a plate of crudites and pickles, and lots of beer.

Forgot this one last time

 

Chestnut-boletus spread

 

 

Hokkaido scallops poached in Franconi

 

an Sylvaner, on top of squash puree, Sicilian pistaschios and home-made salsa machita.

 

Made flans with the rest of the squash puree.

 

 

 

New batch of salsa machita. Can't make it back to Me-hi-co for the coming whale watching season but I have enough chillies till my return.

It's a common species of crab around these parts.

I would be more than happy with any/all of it. Curious on the mushroom & chestnut spread - is there a liquid or fat involved for spreadability? Flavor surely abundant.

Looks really good. Is that kabocha pumpkin squash?

LULU!

With my imperfect chicken thighs from Imperfect Foods, used the leftover roasted ones to make some Duke's heavy chicken salad. Scallions, celery, olive oil, mustard, vinegar all helped too. 

 

And served it with another salad, salad stuff not Imperfect, yet not perfect either.

Thanks.  I just used what I had, some native hardwood lump charcoal.  Good enough flavour.

Trader Joe's shrimp burger with gochugang mayo, baby greens and pickled daikon & carrot on a toasted roll:

Lunch holed up in my office...vegetarian lentil soup (leftover from weekend) and cheeze crackers. I used a bit of tomato paste when sauteeing the vegetables, it adds a nice depth to the broth.
