It's very far from a homogenous Nepalese culture and cuisine. My wife's family are from Kathmandu

 

30 years ago, there was a Nepalese restaurant in London that I used to frequent. Kathmandu native owners. Wonderful food. I wonder if it's still there? Can't see it on Google, but then it was always hard to find. Stuck down in a basement with a tiny sign at street level.

 

8 years ago, I fulfilled a dream and visited Nepal. Not disappointed, but yes, the cuisine was much more diverse than I expected from such a relatively barren area of the world. Lovely people, too.

Wouldn’t you be concerned someone might try to slice you up for sashimi?

Shrimp tortellini with crawfish boudin and my canned green beans

 

 

 

Last night after grinding up venison burger we needed burgers!  Mushroom Swiss to be exact.

@Shelby 

 

where did the Shrimp tortellini come from ?

 

I love pasta in a creamy sauce.

It's store bought cheese tortellini.  I made an easy sauce:

 

Heat some diced tomatoes in a skillet for a few minutes.  Add a TB. of flour.  Stir in.  Add about 1/2 c. of cream and a couple handfuls of fresh parm. cheese.  I also grated a clove of garlic and added some Tony's Cajun Seasoning.

I would be willing to take my chances. My biggest fear is I would walk around feeling hungry all the time.

Pork chop, cooked in the NFG, served with roasted Brussels sprouts, also made in the NFG.

 

 

[JoNorvelleWalker]

For anyone still wondering how I cooked my remaining too thin porkchop, I used the A4 Box with grill plate.  Time was five minutes, turning approximately every minute.  After resting the final temperature was 62C.  More well done than desired, however not as tough as the chop's ill fated package mate.

 

The A4 Box is nice.  I should use it more.

All I got was the sign in page for Yahoo.

I have not had Chicken ala King since 1989, and then it was coming out of a brown plastic MRE wrapper in 29 Palms, California. It was preferred even then. You had to beat the platoon commander to the stash first and deny you ever saw it.

[billyhill]

Oh, you laugh, there was a standing order. No cap, as the kids would say.

Looks good. Any gravy?

 

No gravy needed.

So I made most of this yesterday since Chili is better usually improves with a little ages.

 

This is from The Food Lab by Kenji López-Alt.

 

It's the "best chili with beans" I made it with the chuck option as it would have cost 2x as much to get the short ribs.

 

You brown the meat before you cut it up... so here's almost 3 lbs of browned in 5 pieces then cut up.

 

It's a TON of chili:

 

I've always made it with ground beef before so this is different.  But I still enjoyed it - just don't know if it's truly better then ground beef.

 

My bowl tonight:

 

 

I just added sour cream - he lists a TON of toppings but I'm pretty simple.

Recently picked up some Kirkland chicken thighs from Costco.   Nasty stuff as it’s mechanically separated thighs with  a lot of little pieces.    Cooked up one pack after cleaning it up.    Tossed it on the smoker.  Not too bad but the rest was dealt with today.  Due to the mess when opening the packages, I cleaned and ground up the rest and made chicken thigh patties.   They tasted ok but too much effort.  I’ll not buy them again.  I have a couple trays of chicken thigh burgers in the freezer which will be vac packed  for later use.  
 

Had I not had a grinder I would have tossed them due to the time to deal with them

Prepping for SE Asia.... Nyonya chicken curry made with lots of dried spices. This dish is a great example of Indian influence on Malaysian food.

Meatloaf, served with sweet potatoes in brown sugar sauce.

Been spending so much time and energy catching up on all the great food here by all members. Then I was too tired to post my meals! LOL!

Refreshed tonight, so here goes:
Picked up SS Sirloin Steak Bundles. Had never had this cut before, but it was 2 very thick steaks cut and tied like mini roasts. It was buy 2 packs and get one free. Pan-seared then finished in the oven.  Made mushroom gravy in the pan, baked sweet tater and field green salad.
                                                                                           

 

Panko coated Halibut with leftover rice pilau from another meal:

                                                                                          

 

Been getting good sales on pork ribs, especially ones that are bite size so I don't have to haul out my cleaver! Did up one pack with black bean garlic sauce in the Instant Pot. Half went to grandson.

 

                                                                                         

 

Our Real Canadian Superstore has an app for reduced food items. It's been a drought in the meat catagory, but this week, it's been a windfall! Picked up packages of marinated beef short ribs. Browned and braised for 3.5 hours in the oven and eaten with broad egg noodles. They were really good so I grabbed 2 more packages (2 ribs in each) on another day for the freezer.

 

                                                                                        

 

Had wontons for lunch a couple of days ago. Lots of the filling left. Stuffed deep fried tofu, pan fried then simmered in oyster sauce.

 

                                                                                        

 

Another great find on Ss Flashfood this morning: Boneless, skinless turkey breasts: regular +$15.00 on for 50% off! Best Before Date Dec. 11. I grabbed 4, put 3 into sealed bags and roasted one tonight, rolled with stuffing inside. Boiled mini taters, green beans and carrot. It made for a lovely meal for 2, with enough meal tomorrow.

Reprise of Ichiran ramen.  Better than last time.  Why I am not exactly sure.

 

No complaints.

I'll send you some fish, you send us some smiles in that fancy new tie dye shirt of yours!
