Dinner 2022

[Kim Shook]

@Ann_T – that roast beef dinner is utterly gorgeous and perfect. 

 

@Shelby – I have one of those big canisters of Stove Top and I still don’t think of having it as often as I should.  Every time we have dressing, I say, “why don’t I make this more often?”.  And still I make it like twice a year. 

 

@mgaretz – I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of your dad.  And to have to deal with all that attendant stress on top of grieving.  Hope that lovely, classic steak dinner was a comfort.

 

@weinoo – lovely looking shrimp and grits.  It’s been way too long since I’ve cooked that.  We’re having shrimp tonight, but Jessica has specifically requested shrimp burgers. 

 

Last night was my very favorite leftovers – hot chicken and dressing sandwiches w/ gravy.  With a side of dressing 😁:

Lasagna tonight. Charlie said it was really good but I wasn't too impressed.

Thank you Shelby. Charlie had a couple of friends over when I served it and they both said it was good too.   The one I like better has béchamel sauce  in it.

A couple of week late but finally made corned beef and cabbage.  This time made in the IP.  I cooked the beef for 60 minutes on high pressure with some water and the spice pack, quick release then added the cabbage and carrots for 5 minutes with about a 15 minute hold then release.  Beef was soaked in water for a day (with three changes) to desalinate.

Classic German SchniPoSa* night - this time with a bit of help in the preparation …

 

 

The Schnitzel …

 

 

The (commercial oven) fries …

 

 

Salad and mushroom cream sauce (the latter for the Schnitzel 😉) …

 

 

A good way to start the weekend !

Last night was supposed to be wild mushroom pasta, but husband had to go to a late work-related lunch so I changed to something lighter.  We have an overabundance of cabbage from my farm share, so I made cabbage with pad see ew flavors, with rice and an egg.  It was fine and used up one of the cabbages.  Pasta tonight.

Is laksa leaf available where you are?  It looks like mint on top.  Can you share your laksa recipe? It looks like a katong laksa rather than a penang assam laksa...

Not available at the slightest. I'd be surprised if 50 in Israel even heard of laksa leaves. You have sharp eyes - this is mint. Not a true substitute, but very tasty still.

 

I'm not sure if katong laksa is the same as curry laksa (aka curry mee), but it seems so based on a couple minutes reading online.

 

I'll post the recipe later, remind me if I forget.

The folks here who shudder when their Farm Share boxes have lots of kohlrabi would probably appreciate your tasty looking salad recipe

I have that all the time. Mine never look good enough to photograph, to me, but I post them anyway and hope that people will excuse them because I'm a little old lady.

They aren't often very photogenic but I don't get any complaints.

Your food, however, is always drool worthy.

I agree most meal pics here are drool worthy and quickly plated to not be cold or fussed over---natural to the table. These meals are in our homes, not restaurant chef served. I like seeing all of the diversity. Different climates, various vegetables local. Market fresh. And so many I would love being served by friends or in a restaurant. I don't care much about a bit off focus or messy plating. Real life should not be criticized. I get ideas for the next week using what I have on hand. Weinoo's Shrimp-n-Grits, etc. I have excessive fresh mushrooms I need Ideas...(sent but not ordered)...

I have a Mexican spicy frittata in the oven for dinner. No way will it slice pretty but who cares. It will taste good.

It's one of our favorite veggies. It's so sweet and crunchy. During colder months where it's good, we finish off about one a week just as a crudite.

Delicious meals all around!
 

A few from my kitchen:

 

Preciously frozen scallops on sale 50% off - quick pan fry, with mushrooms and broccoli, and a Hoisin sauce

                                                                           

Steamed the last of the whole dressed pickerel, with black beans and fermented Chinese olives.

 

                                                                           

 

Had an abundance of bell peppers that needed using up. Stuffed with ground pork, shrimp, and waterchestnut and pan fried

                                                                          

 

Picked up a package of marinated veal flak steak. A new product at our Safeway. It was good - 2 big pieces for $12.00. Grilled on stove top with lots leftover for lunch next day.

 

                                                                         

 

Had most of the kids and grands home and we had seafood paella. Cooked the scallops separately to avoid over-cooking.

 

  

 

An early supper before the city kids went home. Sticky Rice in Lotus Leaf is a favourite of one of my granddaughters. She is 8 and loves to cook, so we did Nor Mai Leen Yeep Joong. Augmented the meal with Ho Fun with gai lan, Har Gow and vegetable dumplings from the supermarket.

My wife requested a NY type dinner for her birthday to eat in front of the tv with the kids - and who am I to argue with birthday wishes?!

Looks tasty, but what's NY-ish here?

Thank you. That is probably one of the main reasons that I don't post as much. Having worked in restaurants one of the most important things to me is serving hot food hot and cold food cold.

That said, here is our dinner for tonight. I'm pretty proud of this chili. It doesn't look like much but it was really good despite the fact that I can't use any onions or garlic in it.

I served it over rice with chopped tomatoes and queso fresco courtesy of

@blue_dolphin. It was pretty crumbly but very tasty. We had fruit salad with mango, melon, strawberry, and pineapple.

Also cornbread muffins, not shown.

[KennethT]

I haven't cooked much this week - stressful at work and I started the week with a bad cold (not Covid according to 3 home tests) so I've been more exhausted than normal... finally getting back into the swing of things.

 

Yunnanese elk with herbs (and maitake mushrooms), with cucumber salad and sticky rice.  Tonight there were 7 herbs, 5 of which from my garden - laksa leaf, kaffir lime leaf, curry leaf, mint and sawtooth coriander from the garden, garlic chives and cilantro (stems and leaves) from my local Hmart.

I would glady have that as my birthday dinner!

[Duvel]

Little one had a sleepover guest, so Pizza & Movie night was moved to Saturday evening. Needed to keep things simple as the guest was a bit “unadventurous” concerning toppings …

 

Salami …

 

 

 

”Triple A”: anchovies, artichokes and asiago cheese. Could have been great with Provolone, but then it wouldn’t sound as good. Raw state shot, as pizza loading produced a significant dent in the round shape. This is the parents pizza …

 

 

Margherita pizza with a lovely buffalo mozzarella. 

 

 

 

Enjoyed while watching Pokemon for the XXth time 🤔
