I was just going to ask what that long grass looking stuff is.  Sounds good!

I like broccoli when it gets a little crisped up like that!

Broccoli was meant to be roasted and charred a little (after blanching of course)!

[Honkman]

Rutabaga soup (made with rutabaga, small amount of potatoes, shallots, ginger cooked in chicken broth and heavy cream and puréed) with smoked ham (the planned smoked duck breast was unfortunately unavailable), sautéed small rutabaga pieces, parsley, lemon juice and zest and some olive oil

[Dante]

Soppressata and mortadella sandwich with arugula, red onion, banana peppers, and cream cheese/olive spread on toasted roll with tater tots and sliced pears on the side.

[Kerala]

We had friends over. Starter was fried chicken.

Main course was lamb biriyani.

And tarte Tatin to finish, cos, why not?

[Norm Matthews]

I made Banh Mi sandwiches yesterday but didn't take any pictures.  As long as this one store keeps selling crab legs for 7.99, I am going to keep having them every 5 or 6 weeks.

 

[Kerala]

@Norm Matthewsi

I'd go for that most days of the week!

Barramundi with North Sulawesi (Indonesia) style sambal dabu dabu made with mediocre mango.

Decided to make pizza tonight. So I started the dough around 7:00 AM this morning.

Normally I like to give the dough at least 10 to 12 hours at room temperature for a same day dough, but had to settle for 8 hours.

And rather than bake in the Ooni, I decided to use Jim Lahey's method of baking in the oven, using the broiler.

The stone is placed on one of the top racks just 4 or 5 inches from the broiler.

Preheated at 550°F for at least 30 minutes.

Then the broiler is turned on and the stone gets blasted for about 10 minutes before launching the pizza and baking it under the broiler.

Turning a few times to make sure it doesn't burn. Charring is good.

Pizza was topped with Italian sausage and cremini mushrooms and only took about five minutes to cook.

Crumb was pretty good for a same day dough.

[Honkman]

Potato Gulasch with potatoes, celery root, onions, garlic, cherry tomatoes, carrots, mushrooms, cajun spices, red wine, tomato paste and vegetable broth. Topped with rosemary-lemon gremolata (made with rosemary, parsley, lemon juice and zest, garlic and olive oil)

[liuzhou]

Matsutake Soup (in chicken stock made using chicken feet)

 

 

Pork with jalapeños and black bolete mushroom, Chinese celery, scallions (green part only), Shaoxing wine, soy sauce. Cat's tooth rice.

 

 

 

Based on a common  Chinese dish, 青椒肉片 (qīng jiāo ròu piàn), green pepper pork slices  but using jalapeños instead of a Chinese variety. Also the 'shrooms' are atypical.

Great looking taco. Making my mouth water. 

[Raamo]

Tonight the rest of the  Grandma's Slow-Cooked Green Beans  and some mashed potatoes w/ a nice glass of 2018 Malbec (not pictured)

 

[C. sapidus]

 

Gingery cauliflower and potato soup with browned onion, ginger, and garlic, spiced with cumin, coriander, cayenne, and turmeric. Blended in the Preethi and topped with crushed pistachios.

 

 

Chicken thigh chunks marinated and twice-cooked with black pepper, turmeric, cayenne, cumin, thyme, garlic powder, and paprika. Note: that is a teacup-sized plate, not freakishly huge chunks of chicken  😉

 

 

Store-bought rosemary bread, excellent for dipping in the soup.

What did you think of the WF salmon? I ordered it once but never again. I was annoyed that they didn't descale the skin on fillet pieces. And did not do a good job removing the pin bones either.

That would annoy me. I've had several orders, always without skin, so I can't address that. 

 

Never any bones. Really no complaints. Its not sushi grade salmon but better than supermarket by an order of magnitude. 

 

I'm happy with their cod, halibut, scallops.  Tuna was ok not great.

[Ann_T]

Made one of our favourites tonight. Lucy Waverman's Chicken Perigord.  

Ready for the oven.

 

Stuffed under the skin with a Mushroom Duxelles.

 

 

I've been making this dish for 34 years.
