Followed by Almost Famous. I am not a Broadway musical fan but this one was fun. 

If you're in the East village to check out NYU, take a look at Kanoyama on 2nd Ave and E11th st...

Ah well, its been a while.  I stopped by to grab a recipe I knew was here and got lost walking around memory lane.  This weekend is Canadian Thanksgiving so we'll be smoking our turkey.  It's been spatchcocked and dry brined, hanging out in the fridge till tomorrow.   I'd post a pic of that but everytime I do, its' upside down in the thumbnail but not on my computer.  (Yes, still technically challenged).  If I figure that out I"ll post one with dinner tomorrow :)

Practice. Do it over. Get it right.

Mostly, I want people to be as happy eating my food as I am cooking it.

It is officially Fall, first batch of chili made. Had an avocado (Haas) which was from Peru, rather than Mexico, which is not my preference…it was nicely ripe, but the flesh has a watery quality, unlike the Mexican ones.

Shelby!  I'm sure I'll figure the picture thing out eventually.  Likely.  Maybe.  We've been smoking our turkey the last few years and really love it.  My son (who is the one with all the arm power these days) has pretty much gotten the spatchcocking down now

@liamsauntyou have a very lucky niece! When I used to make regular trips to NY, and when my nephew lived in the city, the two of us used to swoon over Sushi of Gari on 46th St. There was some salmon sushi with tomato that we ordered in multiples. When my mother died he and I cleaned out her apartment and we had many memorable lunches there; it was walking distance and it was his favorite restaurant. My other clearest memory from those days was that we loaded up her wheelchair to hike up the steep streets from 6th to 8th Avenue with packages to take to the UPS store.

Singapore style chicken curry. One of my favorites.... With homemade roti prata and baby bok choi. I thought I had a potato which this dish is great with, but alas, no...

Well lets see if this works today.  Turkey is onto the smoker.  It should take around 8 hours - I think.   Because I'm not partial to smoked gravy, I buy turkey parts, roast them and then make up the gravy in advance.  Got the cranberry sauce done and the dressing ready to go into the oven 

 

 

Nope still upside down when I post here.  Hmmm

Well that's interesting, seems to be in the way I turn the phone even though they look correct on the computer and on facebook.  Anyway the turkey is on and the dressing is ready to pop into the oven

That is why we are here! Thanks for the recommendation.  She liked the school so I will keep that in mind for future visits if she decides to transfer.

 

Last night we went to Craft. We slightly over ordered, and it was dark… mushroom risotto

Burrata with plums for the niece. I did not get any.

tuna with fennel

We also had aligot, sautéed greens, and some mushroom dish the server recommended for sides. We probably should have ordered one less side and one less fish. Everything tasted good and was perfectly seasoned but was uniformly not hot enough. It was very strange. 
 

Niece wanted the sugared donuts with caramel and chocolate sauces for dessert. Nobody else could manage any but she finished them off.  If only we all had 21 year old stomachs again.

@liamsaunt 

 

that dinner looks so fantastic .

 

I would have starved , being completely 

 

unable to make a decision 

 

that would have excluded anything else.

 

congratulations

@Dejah, that prime rib looks SPECTACULAR.  I'm not a huge beef eater, but I think I could have murdered half of that roast by myself.  With room left over for some Yorkshire Pudding.

Tonight Rancho Gordo lima beans.  Pressure cooked two hours.  Beans were barely done.  And they were bitter.  How do you get bitter beans?  Bitter.  Plus they were too salty, which may have been my fault.  I pitched them.

 

Two hours under pressure??  That's as long as they should take on a standard stovetop.  Rancho Gordo might want hear about that.

For Ayocote Amarillo I've needed four hours under pressure.

But I found an older post where I said how good the Christmas limas were so I'm sure they didn't come bitter from Rancho Gordo.

Roasted carrot "hot dogs" -- I'm dying to know more about this because the concept kinda blows my mind. : )

 

Sorry, got really behind on keeping up with some of my online forums...

 

Combine a cup of broth with 1/4c cider vinegar, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp smoked paprika, 2 tbsp mustard seed, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp coriander, and black pepper to taste. Simmer five minutes.  Coat carrots in olive oil, put in roasting pan, pour marinade over, marinade for at least a half hour, roast at 425 for about 40 minutes, turning the carrots occasionally.   Serve on buns with the toppings of your choice. 

 

Weird, but quite tasty.
