Dinner 2022

[Steve Irby]

About nine PM last night I was wondering what possessed me to make such a large batch of chicken boudin.  My fifteen pound sausage stuffer was filled to the rim and I still had six pounds of pork sausage to stuff.    I hung in there and cranked away and a little past ten the job was done.  A shout out to Sweetwater 420 for the assistance! 

 

The boudin was a improvised mixture of roasted chicken thighs (seasoned with fresh rosemary and garlic)  combined with onion, celery, parsley and medium grain rice.  The rice was from Crowley LA and really tasty after being cooked in the roasted chicken pan juices.  Dinner tonight was grilled boudin with a garlic forward vinaigrette.

Roasting is the only way I do one now. Never cared for the boiled version.

Thank you! I was hoping you'd notice my question.
The piece I picked up is not very big, but I will do as you did, and hopefully, it will work for me.

Still BLTs. Just Sungold was giving the last of fruits in the garden. 

Sungold is a very different tomato in flavor and texture. So I made bacon bits and used Turkish bread. Not bad end result.

@Marlene, I'll pass on the carrots, but I'll have some of everything else.  That beef looks amazing. Perfectly cooked. 

And the Béarnaise sauce just takes it over the top.

That bread looks wonderful. Is it something you make? If so, would you share a recipe?

@Shelby, can you tell me more about these little casserole dishes? At least, I assume they are little because I think you used them in the CSO. I'd certainly be interested in something similar. 🙂

 

 

Hi!!  Sorry for the delay in replying.  

 

They are great little dishes.  The inner dish measures 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 inches.  Counting the handles they are 6" wide.

 

 

 

 

I can easily fit 4 of them in the CSO.

 

I did a Google picture search to see if I could find a link for you to buy them but the only one that matched was on Poshmark and they were sold already  .  I wish I could be more help.

Steve!!!!  I'm dying over here.  I'm out of boudin.  Really need to order some.  Yours looks AMAZING.

I needed pasta last night--venison sauce on top.  Salad of course to go with.

You think you're dying? I can't find anything like that here nor can I order it. If Steve keeps showing us things like this, I'm going to have to bury my phone in rice to dry it out.

Bia is the bakeware arm of the Cordon Bleu cooking school. I believe the schools are closed, but the products are made in China and still sold in a variety of places. Lots are on eBay. There is some controversy about the levels of lead in their products, so you might be wise to do a little research before committing. Those two casserole dishes are an appealingly simple design. That's about all I know.

@Shelbyand @Katie Meadow, thank you both! I will do some digging around and see what I can find. Appreciate your help!  🙂

Pretty much this recipe though I started with leftover bbq rib meat from a delivery the other night. 

 

Wonton 'raviolos' with pickled cucumber, Asian sauce (sesame oil, rice vinegar, fish sauce) topped with toasted sesame seeds and peanuts and cilantro.   I omitted the chorizo from the recipe.

Thanks.

 

That wonderful bread was store bought. Delicious and not too expensive. It does not show up regularly, only once in a while.

The meat department at Kroger was sorely lacking but they did have turkey thighs, so...

I know you live in the land of where everything is great but you are getting good mangos?

[Norm Matthews]

I got a bone-in ham yesterday so we had a no reason holiday dinner.

I wouldn't call them good - they were decent. They're the ataulfo mangoes grown in Mexico. I actually got these 2 weeks ago and they've been sitting in the root cellar (aka wine fridge). They're not even close to when it's mango season and I get a box from a grower in Florida but they'll do when desperate. They definitely needed the dressing though.
