Duvel, I too am interested in the fish sticks. I used to love them when I was a child; recently my husband wanted them as a bit of a childhood comfort-food treat so we tried some.

 

🙄

 

I made him eat all but the two I tried. I couldn't imagine anything making them palatable. I've never seen fish sticks made from different varieties of fish! That might make all the difference. 🙂

If they are crunchy and you have a proper fish to crust ratio, they are really good.

 

The regular fish fingers here contain not enough fish. Ratio is 55% fish to 45% crust. The Rösti-coated ones had more fish, and because the coating has bits and pieces of potato sticking out, was also more crunchy.

 

If all fails, you can just make breadcrumb-coated fried fish - DH will like that 🤗

I have difficulty grasping the meaning of this sentence. It is coated in everything (you had lying around) except for the bagel seasoning (which would be unsuitable) ?

Haha sorry!  It's a common seasoning here in the states.  Basically, it's all the seasonings that go on an "everything" flavored bagel.  So, black and white sesame seeds, dried minced garlic, dried minced onion, and salt.  It typically has poppy seeds mixed in also, but I didn't have any in the house.

Love that pool of butter in your mashed potatoes.

Tonight's dinner.

Cabbage rolls with sour cream

 

One my favorite comfort foods, and yours look downright luscious.  I like a Hungarian-style sweet/sour sauce on them.

Yes, you are correct. This is the most popular brand here …

 

Wow, fish sticks coated with pretzel crusts.  That's interesting.

Streak of comfort food continues - today the Catalan edition (and coincidentally what little one requested for his 9th birthday today): Macarrons de l’àvia (or gratinated pasta with meat sauce). Very simple, just a sofregit, meat, tomatoes, salt, pepper and cheese - but full of childhood memories for my wife and obviously for him …

 

 

Treat for the cook - more of a student memory, though …

Matt made his Greek Potato Pizza and baked it in the oven at 550°F on the stone.

 

 

 

 

What kind of oven do you have that goes to 550 degrees?

[weinoo]

I went a little crazy ordering some rice and cowpeas from this place...

 

 

Three different rices...and cowpeas, cause I don't have enough dried legumes in the pantry.

 

These are very different from the cowpeas also known as black-eyed peas, even though they're pretty much the same botanically...https://www.carolinaplantationrice.com/store/products/Carolina-Plantation-CowPeas.html

 

So I made Hoppin' John. And had some smothered cabbage on the side. And it was the least photogenic meal made...maybe ever. But man it was tasty.

[heidih]

Did your building give you extra storage space? Can you roughly outline your Hoppin John and smothered cabbage methods?. I enjoy them but have not made in forever it seems.

Marcella's Smothered Cabbage is as good as anyone else's.

Just a regular electric conventional oven. LG.  I think 550 is common. The last ovens I've  had all went to 550.

The packaging is interesting. Very similar to the 'Captain Highliner' brand available here.

Southwestern style Bison burgers with avocado, pretzel buns and chipotle salsa

[Ann_T]

Chicken Perigord (a Lucy Waverman recipe). I have been making this dish for over 30 years.

Moe said tonight, that this recipe is special and it is his favourite chicken recipe.

It isn't that difficult and it is a wonderful dinner party dish because everything can be made early . Even the sauce. The chicken just needs to go into the oven about 45 to 50 minutes before serving. That also allows for a rest while the vegetables are finishing up.

 

The chicken breasts are boned out ,

 

with the skin left on and a mushroom duxelles is stuffed under the skin.

Those Burgers look perfect and a hard act to follow.

Since Carlos can't go with my friend Lenora and me to Thanksgiving at a friend's house, I decided to have a mini Thanksgiving dinner early.

Roast chicken.

Served with mashed potatoes with sour cream and Dill, roasted cauliflower with a mayonnaise sour cream cheese sauce, dressing, gravy, and homemade bread.

My plate.

Not terribly photogenic but it sure was good.

@Tropicalsenior

That chicken skin looks chispy paper thin 😋

[liamsaunt]

Sear roasted ribeye steak with chive butter, spinach, baked pasta with truffled duxelles sauce, and stuffed winter squash from the winter squash cook-off thread.  

 

[weinoo]

 

Chinese-ish chicken (thigh) and vegetable stir-fry...red and green bell peppers, Cremini mushrooms, and onions. 

 

I'm not really a "stir-fryer" as they might stir-fry in a restaurant; I tend to go slower. But all the seasonings, from fresh garlic, ginger, scallions and hot peppers to Shao Xing wine, soy, Chingkiang vinegar, chili/garlic stuff, etc. etc. are the real deal. The use of thickening agents (in this case, potato starch) tends to be less than in a restaurant as well.

 

Jasmine rice.
