a pair of silicone cut resistant gloves are a requirement.

 

I don't believe they are a "requirement;" they're certainly helpful for those who are unsure or unpracticed.

I have been told previously it does actually help. 
  I am super clumsy so all the advice is appreciated. And I prefer west coast oysters which are smaller but also harder to source on the east coast. 

Also, how does one know of an oyster is “bad”? Clams are obvious when cooked but personally I don’t know if I could determine a good raw clam or oyster from a “bad” one and that makes me nervous. 
 

Once/if/when covid rates in NJ stop breaking records I’d like to go to a local seafood restaurant and see if they’d allow me to “help” prep during the day. 

 

Sniff 'em; you'll know.

Nice!

 

So it isn't actually tenderloin.but tenderized loin?

[liamsaunt]

Cavatappi with roasted cherry tomato and garlic sauce (pulverized after roasting to deal with the skins), mixed with some arugula.  It's amazing how a giant pile of arugula cooks down to the point where it looks like I put five leaves in the sauce 😆

The venison looks great.  But those leeks are spectacular.  How did you cook them?

Skillet with a bit of olive oil.  Salt and pepper.  Med. heat until leeks are browned on both sides--around 5 mins maybe....couple glugs of white wine.  Cook for about 20 mins until leeks are soft.  Drain wine.  Sprinkle with fresh parm and broil until cheese crisps up.

Don't know that I'd drink it at that point but it raises something I thought of the other day - saving bits like the braising wine @Shelby mentioned to enrich a future dish.  I save glass jars (w/o labels!!!) So when handed some rotisserie chicken bones after they parted out their Costco bird I snagged the black under-tray, added a bit of warm water and got out the congealed juices. Added to a quick stock from the bones it made a thoroughly enjoyable soup.

Lamb sheekh kebabs from Dishoom, with raita by the missus. Good, but I would have added 5 green chillies rather than the two Dishoom suggests.

[Raamo]

I had a dish from ATK I wanted to make but needed Niçoise olives which our local high end grocer didn't have... so a picture of that dish will likely come next weekend.

 

Tilapia was on sale, so we got that.  My wife remembered once home we had done some Tilapia dishes from Hello Fresh, we keep all the cards as they are good ideas.

 

So it's Louisiana-Style Tilapia with Potatoes Wedges, Cabbage Slaw (they called for red, we have green for another dish), & Spicy Remoulade.

 

Our old bay seasoning had a best by date of 2009... so it went into the trash, it tasted like salty cardboard.

 

A easy sub is equal parts celery salt, chili powder, and powdered garlic.

 

 

 

The slaw is more my wife's thing - there's a lot more on her plate.  The sauce has a nice kick, I think we improved on the HF dish.

Yes,

 

But u can use the tenderloin/  or butt/  blade..  just need to tenderize it and flatten and cut somewhat thin.  

[liamsaunt]

Seared and oven roasted one bone ribeye with roasted wild mushrooms, spinach and mashed potatoes.  This is my husband's plate as I do not eat beef.  The mushrooms were delicious.

 

[BonVivant]

Steamed soft tofu with salted mustard and some mince.

 

Having been to Madeira now I know Madeira sweet wines are not for me. Got a bottle a week before the holidays. Only good enough for cooking and baking.

 

 

Smoned herring (is for me) and mackerel.

 

Barley in the pot

 

[mgaretz]

Have never been able to make a great tasting salad combo with fennel, but this looks great!

[Margaret Pilgrim]

Last night, arrival in the country.    House freezing.   Asked husband what he wanted for dinner, not much wanting to budge from front of fire.  

 

"Something simple and fast"

"How about hash and eggs?"

"Fine!"

 

No pics since if you've seen one plate of canned hash topped with fried eggs, you've seen them all.

Indeed it does.

Also try Alice Waters' fennnel, mushroom and parmesan salad.
