😱

 

I thought you were joking, but it really costs more than 10 US$ per pack - just wow …

But I could get it tomorrow!  There’s that. 😂

made Green Peppercorn Steak.

 

OMG, haven't had that in decades.  Used to be such a menu stalwart in the leather-booth steakhouses of my youth, prepared tableside by the waiter.

 

I haven't even seen green peppercorns in ages.  Did you find them dried, or in brine?

That is likely from amazon.com. amazon.ca is over $10.  Even $5.41 USF/$7.43 CDN seems outrageous for a bowl of instant noodles.

That was easy for him – – he got them as a gift. What did you expect him to say to a gift?😂😂😂😂

My bank account would allow it, but I’m not sure my conscience would go along with +$10 for a bowl of instant noodles. 

They better be the best damn noodles ever.

 

 

 

no pressure @Duvel🙃

[rotuts]

wonder what these noodles coast

 

at a Japanese style supermarket 

 

there might be a small one near me 

 

that has 50 % Japanese 50 % chinese 

 

stuff.  and some Thai .

 

Id walk on by @ 10 USD a pack

 

slow down if $ 5 a pack.

 

and get one for 3.95  .   

 

OK in deference to @Duvel

Taco night. Pulled Pork Kimchi White corn tortillas.

Just checked - a pack of 5 goes for around 2000 JPY (or 13.50 US$) …

[Duvel]

And just for closure of the topic: family came home tonight from their trip to Tübingen and got (smaller bowls of) Ramen, with eggs & (refried) chashu from yesterday, but homemade broth. No complaints …

 

[rotuts]

@Duvel

Instructions are 450 mL of water, boil the noodles for 2.5 min, then add the soup concentrate and the spicy mix. I added eggs & chashu, plus some greens. It’s a good portion for a healthy German male …

[rotuts]

thanks !

 

500 cc !

 

Ill keep that in mind

 

and 

 

Im sure it was , and is 

 

very tasty stuff :

Thawed out some walleye and steamed baked it in the CSO.  Lobster ravioli and sprouts to to with.  Homemade caramel and sliced apples for dessert.

 

 

 

To use up some of that roasted chicken I made a pot pie last night.

 

 

 

Ronnie came home yesterday with a bag of Snickers that were half off the Halloween isle (also a bag of Baby Ruths lol).  Which was really strange because he doesn't normally buy candy AND I had been thinking about this dessert that @ChocoMomposted about a few years ago.  It sounded so intriguing when she posted about it--she said her family goes nuts and eats it all in one sitting.  So, I made it back then and fell in love.  Anyway, I was so excited to still have apples left--plus the other ingredients.  You chop up the apples (Granny Smiths ) and the Snickers.  Mix those with Cool Whip and baby marshmallows.  Heavenly.

 

 

That is chicken pot pie perfection! That's going on the menu for this week - yours is inspirational.

Thank you!  I hadn't made one in quite a while so I was happy when it turned out ok.

How much are they in Germany?

 

[Kim Shook]

@CookBot – YES!  I noticed how the ratio of rice to beans was really off.  I’m not supposed to be eating those sorts of beans right now, so it was ok, but Mr. Kim was disappointed. 

 

@Duvel – your bread is spectacular and I’m envious of your available cheeses.

 

@Shelby – everything looks so good.  I, too, was impressed with my output in the past rather than what I’ve been making lately.  The stuffed chicken looks fantastic and, of course, those gorgeous potatoes.  And then I get to the next post and I’m craving chicken pot pie and Snickers Salad (which may be the most hilarious name in the culinary world)! 

 

@rotuts – I agree with you completely re: lasagna pans. They are usually much too shallow.  I like a nice, deep lasagna.

 

Friday night dinner was a Costco broccoli and Cheddar quiche, salad, and bakery yeast rolls:

Like the artichoke and spinach one, this was surprisingly good.  The broccoli was NOT skunky. 

I got a head of iceberg (which I’m allowed to have) and I’ve been indulging in BIG salads all week. 

 

On Sunday Mr. Kim had dinner with some HS friends, so Jessica and I went to Bonchon, the Korean chain.  Potstickers:

 

Bulgogi soft tacos:

 

Seasoned fries:

 

And their soy garlic wings that taste very similar to @Norm Matthews’ Korean-style wings:

 

After all the trick or treaters were gone Halloween night, dinner was soup and salad.  Geoffrey Zakarian’s Caesar salad and fabulous torn and fried croutons:

 

 

And the soup was @Ann_T’s wonderful French onion soup:

 

 

Served with some crusty bread from Lidl:

 

Tuesday’s protein was not terribly successful:

The sweet potatoes and beans were fine, but the pork chops weren’t very good.  I did them in the IP with some Dale’s Seasoning.  They were dry and tough.  I hadn’t had Dale’s in years and, while I still liked the flavor it was much stronger than I remembered (maybe my mom diluted it?).  Served with the last of my MIL’s Hot Cross Buns from the freezer:

 

Last night Jessica suggested that I take the leftover onion soup and make French dip sandwiches.  She added some mushrooms that she made.  I marinated a London Broil in favorite marinade: oil, Dijon, soy, lemon juice, onions, garlic, Worcestershire, and pepper and broiled it in the CSO:

 

I used some Michael Ruhlman buttermilk rolls I made to make the sandwiches and added the onions from the soup and some Muenster.  The soup, thickened with a little Onion Bisto, was the “dip”.  Served with rice and green beans:

 

Jessica preferred a hoagie roll:

 

 

Mr. Kim is fasting for a blood test in the morning and Jessica was in late, so this was dinner for me tonight:

Rice, bacon sandwich, and boiled eggs.  Very satisfying.

Got a new Ninja XL grill today so I had to try a pork chop!  Served with steamed cauliflower with butter.

how did you like the grill?  I have one I got as a gift for my birthday but haven't tried it yet since the weather is so nice, I'm still using the outdoor grill

Indeed.   ""Afford" is a function of choice, not ability to pay.

Ohh, I just read that … and I beg to differ: I would choose to eat lobster every Friday night, however I am not able to pay for it (that frequently) 🙄

Almost exactly what I thought, although my luxury would be champagne and caviar.

Well I really like the regular version with the thermometer (for certain things) but I still have to play with this new one.  I wrote more about it in the air fryers topic.
