While I was cropping a picture for the Scotland blog, my iPhone broke down. I couldn’t restart it. Nevertheless, the picture I was editing was of us eating fish & chips, so following the things I learned from Advanced Voodoo for Beginners™️, the best way to break a curse is to cook the dish …

Everyone was happy !

Everyone was happy because you were practicing advanced voodoo for beginners...... dare they say a thing against that meal, in fear of a counter curse or you pulling out their sock puppet look-alike and start jabbing needles in every orifice!

A light meal tonight-boiled shrimp and avocado salad.

IMG_20221125_184016955_HDR.thumb.jpg.01313776726bdea6617bc72316e8a32f.jpg

 

The main course last night of a not so light dinner.  The main was a sautéed seafood platter with meuniere sauce from Chef Paul Prudhomme's Louisiana Kitchen Cookbook.  I was going to serve stuffed flounder but the flounder looked a little tired so I bought three puppy drum and filleted at home.  The frames were used for stock.  I was a little sloppy on the last platting due to too much hovering from my help🙄 and I was two oysters short.

I wish I could get goose at a sane price.

 

Maybe I should put a contract out on a few with @Shelby's husband

We would love to ...but keep in mind ours are wild....not as fatty and "good" as domestic.  Also... it's tough this season.  I'm sure you've noticed I'm not doing near as many geese or ducks right now.  Soooooo dry..... maybe it will get better soon.

Always jealousy inducing seafood. Guessing "2 oysters short"  AKA "2 sheets to the wind" ;)

@gfweb has to get in line.  I called dibs a long time ago!  I am more than prepared to offer a trade - some doves/teal/goose/duck for some homemade curries?

Tonight, I made my first dinner in over a month. Kept it simple.

Been waiting for this post for quite some time. So glad you are home and doing your own cooking. Looks very tasty.

Chicken on Thanksgiving (by request from DW), cooked on the pellet grill, using the Combustion predictive thermometer.   Served with baked potato (cooked alongside chicken) and green beans (boiled to death, also at the request of DW) with bacon bits and crunchy onions.

If I live to be 500, I'll never understand the British love of mushy peas.  But I suppose they might feel similarly about my beloved braised   celery.

Normally someone points it out, but these are not “authentic” mushy peas: I prepare them from blanched (frozen) fresh peas (not dried marrowfat peas), mashed with a bit of heavy cream or fresh cheese (whatever I have on hand) and mint. They taste light, fresh and herbal, and complement the fried fish quite nicely …

Have you tried Santorini style fava? That's what mushy peas wish they were.

I have not made this in quite a white :

 

Tomato-Brie toasties

 

IMG_1946.thumb.jpg.c3f89f2500ffcc0dbe1c556b455fd641.jpg

 

ready for the CSO.  I lightly toast the bread first , add Kalamata OO 

 

a light sprinkling of Penzy's  sandwich sprinkle  ( think garlic bread-ish )

 

then the cut tomatoes and brie

 

IMG_1948.thumb.jpg.0c1bee6e9fc909551d5e4c051dbff609.jpg

 

plate

 

IMG_1950.thumb.jpg.2b42b5c0541caaa9d8d3752e066254d4.jpg

 

these were surprisingly good , far better than the pics.

 

the good news for me is that Tj's has all the ingredients , most of the time.

 

No fresh local bakery bread on Monday .

 

each layer needs a tiny tweek  but not much.

 

more broiler time to get that brown bubbly top

 

or an added torching . Brie was cabinet aged for a few days,

 

tomatoes brown bag aged

was the mackerel sambal a ' prepared ' product ?

 

as mackerel is an oily fish ,

 

Id bet the when the jar is opened 

 

you are immediately reminded not to drop

 

the jar.


Nope, it is homemade. I used smoked mackerel (which is semidried and very popular in Germany) …

I have not, but one image search and I'm sold.  Since I'm the kind of person who likes her split pea soup so thick that it can be used as a dip, this puree should obviously be on my next meze plate, right next to my beloved muhammara.  Thanks for the tip!

 

I was surprised by a statement from this site, which I haven't yet bothered to research:

 

Despite the name, the Greek Fava is a yellow pea, not to be confused with fava bean. 

 

...which made me wonder if the yellow split peas found in standard American markets could be used.

No pictures but last night I made pulled pork sandwiches with homemade barbecue sauce. So today with the leftovers...

20221127_112332.thumb.jpg.924e021619ad586a6f0b325cfaca67bd.jpg

I made empanadas/calzones for our lunch and dinner snacking as per our usual Sunday routine.

Thanks for the great idea. I haven't made something like this in ages and I had enough dough left over to make a baguette which will be perfect for this. I won't be able to use Brie because most of the time it's unavailable and if I can find it, I would have to take out a loan on the car to buy it. But I'll find a suitable cheese.
