Lots of okra in these photos!  I didn't realize it was so popular with Yankees.

 

Okra is hugely popular in the South (of the USA). Gumbo is practically the state dish of Louisiana and New Orleans in particulr. The very word 'gumbo' comes from the Bantu word for 'okra'.

@CookBot said "Yankees".  Your definition of Yankee and his definition of Yankee are far different.  If you insult someone a Yankee in Louisiana you are liable to be shot.  That being said okra is popular with this Yankee.  As long as it is served not slimy.  I used to grow okra until my landlord told me I could not have a garden.

 

Last night I perused okra at Shoprite, the local grocery store.  But the okra on offer was not appetizing in the least.

Quite right.  I failed to consider the global nature of the platform, and that "Yankee" is a generic term for "American" on other shores.

I didn't define any word in my post and the word  in question is not one I ever use.

Fall always makes me think of traditional Chinese family comfort food. My kids grew up eating Hom Yue - salted fish. It's expensive to buy, $25.00 for 1 fish. Should last a long time as a little goes a long way being very salty and pungent, but not with our kids. They all want their own piece with the bone!

 

Steamed Hom Yue with sliced pork and lots of ginger. Need 2 bowls of rice with this!

A beautiful autumn day for working outside! Had made up the pork/shrimp/waterchestnut filling for stuffed peppers, but was too beat. Made wonton soup instead. Grilled Char Siu on the barbie while I played in the dirt!

Feeling under the weather, so my dinner was a can of Progresso Manhattan clam chowder.  Good it was too.

@DejahYour meals are always so good looking.  

 

Scout and Ronnie got some teal yesterday so duck for dinner!

 

Stuffed with lemons, onions and thyme springs.  Rubbed with butter and seasoning.

I made another batch of those wonderful RG corona beans.  Alfredo with mushrooms and artichokes and our tomatoes.  Ronnie really liked the beans mixed with the tomatoes.

Had some limes and lemons going south so I juiced a bunch and froze the juice...saved some to make lemon posset for dessert.

I will go out on a limb and say - roast said carrot, toast said bun - insert said carrot into said bun and top with whatever tickles your fancy.

I'm getting a little tired of making my Sunday meat buns so I went out on a limb and tried something new. Cheese Fatayer. They are supposed to look like little boats. If anyone tries using mine for boats they are going to die. The only thing they have going for them is the taste. They are delicious. Served with a big green salad for dinner, they should be great.

20220925_085017.thumb.jpg.354d6ea02026bdca689f8f271274871c.jpg

Ready to bake, still looking like boats.

Right out of the oven, more like a raft.

Rafts can save lives!    What kind of pastry did you use?    Suet? Lard? else?

I followed the recipe in my post. I think the problem was that I didn't work fast enough and it got too puffy before it got in the oven. My kitchen is also pretty hot but it's a recipe from the Middle East so I don't imagine that they have it any better. It is something that I will try again. The Taste overrides the appearance.

@gfweb That apple walnut cake looks phenomenal!  Very nice dinner but those caramelized apples and what appears to be a walnut crust with a half pound of butter has my heart aflutter.  Extra metoprolol tonight.

Both the scallops and the halibut were dusted with
a little curry powder before being seared.

Love the idea of "curry dust" on the seafood!
@Shelby: Have never had Teal, but then, I haven't had any wild fowl since my childhood days when my Dad's rural restaurant used to cook for the American hunters that frequented our small town.

Another lovely day for more garden clean-up, so an oven meal was good planning!

Roasted a big pork butt seasoned with whole grain Dijon mustard and fresh rosemary stalks. Tossed in sweet taters for the last 45 minutes. Eaten with "high fibre" frozen vegetables.

Sent half the roast down to grandson, and we will still have some for lunch tomorrow.

and since I don't care for scallops just halibut for me. 

 

I don't think I've ever met anyone who didn't like scallops!  Inconceivable.   (To me.  They're probably my desert island seafood.)   

 

I'm hoping for some spectacular Rosh Hashana dinner entries in this thread tonight/tomorrow.  I'm feeling sorry for myself 'cause I don't have a bubbe nearby to invite me to a big holiday feast.  Had to make do with a lonely bowl of matzoh ball soup for myself tonight.

Simple but yet complex tasting lamb curry in a sweet onion-tomato sauce from 660 Curries. Sauce was made from coriander, cumin, paprika, turmeric, sirarakhong chili, ginger, garlic, cardamom pods, bay leaves, fried onion paste, cilantro and tomato sauce. Served with basmati rice and some vegetables (mushrooms, zucchini, green beans) mixed with onions, ginger, turmeric, coriander, garam masala, mint, almonds and some yoghurt.

Definitely fall temperatures. Using the oven to warm things up.

 

A gift of a Kabocha squash = supper last night. Stuffed with ground beef mixture and topped with Tex-Mex shredded cheese. We share half a squash.

I really love the idea of the stuffed squash - we've done stuffed peppers for years, but a couple of the vagrants living with us (our younger children) don't like bell peppers. This might be the solution!

Paella09262022.jpg

 

This paella had such promise.  But the center 4.5 inches under the Paragon induction coil was burnt.  Thick Falk copper can only help so much.  Rice in the outer part of the pan was OK but the burnt taste permeated everything.  And the clam meat got caught in my teeth.  Cooking on lower heat would probably have helped a lot.

Bruschetta with fresh tomato and basil from our garden.  Balsamic vinegar, EVOO, and salt round out the topping.

 

Goat cheese over toasted bread.

 

I had 6 pieces, showing 3.
