Tried out the Costco gyro meat.  Had made some israeli hummus in the fridge and everything else to dress it up right.  My youngest son took the job of frying the pita dough and all knife work by my older.  Was a fun night cooking with them.

Aren't those the best kinds of dinners? I love the chaos I guess.

Cape gooseberries go under many names, both in Chile and Peru, their native habitat, and in English. In Latin they are Physalis peruviana.

 

Local names in South America include aguaymanto, uvilla and uchuva as well as many other dialect and regional names. In English they can be Cape gooseberries, goldenberries or Peruvian groundcherries.

 

Here in China, they’re called 灯笼果 (dēng lóng guǒ), which translates as ‘lantern fruit’.

Guess so. I wasn't able to open the article (Wikipedia is blocked) but I researched  them when I first found them here.

I think those are also called tomatillos. Some small ones are called ground cherries.

I grow them in my garden.

These are tomatillos. Not the best looking ones that you will find but here in Costa Rica, Beggars can't be choosers.

I just looked on Google and they do show a yellow one that they call goldenberry. Seems like tomatillos come in all colors.

Seems tomatillos are close relatives: same family (physalis), but different species (tomatillo = physalis philadelphica, Cape gooseberry = physalis peruviana). Both feature the “husk” around the fruit body, but the former seems to be larger and less tart, in general …

Sous vide followed by a sear in cast iron pan - strip loin roast last night.  A hasty version of the crispy roast potatoes @Shelby? had posted. Yorkies, peas and green peppercorn gravy complete the meal.

 

                                                                             Roastbeef1805.jpg.c09a7a745a5ce00e83832e2227e43f16.jpg

 

Had 2 slices of the roast left. Did a redux into Beef Stroganoff over Pappardelle pasta.

Dessert was another new find at the little Chinese grocery store: five-nut moon cake is a favourite, more enjoyable than the usual lotus paste and salted egg yolk variety. I bought 3 tins of 4 cakes each. They keep well in the freezer, but I will be gifting some to the Chinese elders. Only one of my kids like moon cakes, so he will have some to take back to NFLD when he comes to visit end of the month.

Brought the little one to his grandparents for a week, so 700 km of driving. Wasn’t feeling like making dinner and considered getting a burger at a global franchise outlet. Reconsidered after checking their offers and made one myself instead ..,

 

Double patty, Gruyère, tomato, pickles and crispy bacon. Damn good & of course served on an IKEA plate. Enjoyed with the new season of Only murders in the building …
