Dinner 2023

[Duvel]

Needed some comfort food tonight - but family was not in the mood for neither German not Japanese, sooo …

 

„Sichuan“ dinner:

 

 

Da pan ji (大盘鸡)- ok, technically more of a Xinjiang dish, but the flavor profile matches pretty well …

 

 

Mapo dofu (麻婆豆腐)(with extra Sichuan peppercorn oil) …

 

 

Hot & sour soup (酸辣湯 - suan la tang) …

 

 

Yangzhou fried rice (揚州炒飯) …

 

 

And finally - as per little ones request - bao zi (包子)…

 

 

Perfect accompaniment 🤗

 

 

No complaints. Ohh - and we have sufficient leftovers for the rest of the week 😉

Hospital dinner. A bit strange

 

 

 

Beef, pork, potato (I think), luffah, cabbage, chilli, peanuts, rice.

 

Not bad though.

 

 

Hope you are only in the hospital for follow-up work and not a relapse. Look forward to the day when you will be back on your feet and cooking!

Still using this one, but upping the star anise, black cardamom and Sichuan peppercorns a bit …

Ha!  Damn, I'm predictable.... sorry - I completely forgot that I already asked you about this.

Hahaha … no worries. It looks a little bit different every time I make it, so there could have been an underlying change in recipe 🙏

Not a relapse or follow up, but a different issue. Not so serious. Thank you.

A light supper for the post Thanksgiving taper😛.  Two dozen oysters and a bowl of gumbo.   The gumbo used SV turkey leg quarters and homemade andouille sausage.   The oysters were the best of the year - briny, fat and a steal at $15.99 for two dozen.  

 

 

[Deephaven]

Trying to empty the freezer so some chili dogs.  Two things out.

 

Was the first meal in one of the new Falk pans.  Had the range apart cleaning it to list it for sale.

 

Rest of the kitchen is pretty much ripped out.  Gave it to my BIL for the shop on his farm.  No stove there so kept the range, but the surrounding granite was useful for him.  Sad to see the Bluestar go, but the three hours of cleaning to get it to look like that is exactly why it is going.

Grilled thick pork chop, served with steamed Brussels Sprouts and carrots in butter.

Dinner tonight was all leftovers for me – the rest of my sandwich from our lunch after church today and corn and stuffing from Thanksgiving:

The sandwich was a steak and cheese.

Slow Cooker Candied Orange Sweet Potatoes:

 

Sounds intriguing, can you elaborate?

[rotuts]

@scamhi  

 

that looks like a wonderful Thanksgiving spread.

 

well thought out

 

the breast meat seems to have two different colors for the two different great muscles.

 

the larger a bit darker redish

 

what sort of bird did you purchase ?

 

did you notice any difference in flavor for each Br muscle ?

Quick Tuna salad

@rotuts

The dark area was richer tasting. this was a heritage black turkey breast from Joyce Farms

[rotuts]

@scamhi 

 

very interesting to see that color difference on the

 

two pectoral muscles.   guessing the free range turks 

 

flap their wings quite a bit more 

 

possibly more myoglobin in the pec. major.

 

thanks for your pst

 

im thinking of trying one.

 

Id SV'd   bone out th br and use the carcass for stock // gravy.

[Shelby]

@scamhiWhat a delicious looking meal.  That turkey!

 

@Kim ShookGlad to see you're back  

 

Been busy getting Christmas decorations up.  Got 9-12" of snow which went well with the decor  

 

 

Hot wings, Mac and cheese, slaw

 

 

Venison cabbage rolls with ribs and crescent rolls

 

 

 

Roasted chicken, cheesy broccoli and @Mmmpompspotatoes

 

 

Ronnie wanted venison burgers with some of the last of the garden tomatoes

 

 

I've had a craving for hotdogs and kraut

 

 

More teal were gotten so roasted those

 

 

 

Last night fried chicken, Asian bagged salad, mashed potatoes and gravy

 

 

Dessert was eggnog ice-cream done in the Ninja creami.  Had some apples going south so I made apple pie filling and put that on top--good stuff

 

[Paul Bacino]

@scamhi---just curious what u used the slice the breast,   cutting skin can be difficult?

Absolutely - they are so good and it's nice to free up the stove top or oven space.  Here you go.  Keep in mind that you can adjust the sweetness by reducing the amount of brown sugar called for in the recipe.  I know that my preferred sweet potato level of sweetness is too much for some folks.  I'm one of those plebeians who loves the marshmallow-topped ones! 😁

[OlyveOyl]

Turkey soup for supper, stock/ broth made from meaty turkey bones in the IP.

Besides the turkey, the very last gleanings from the garden, kale, chard, sorrel, and from the pantry, peas, beans and tubettini pasta.

Dessert was a pear, apple cranberry galette with chopped walnuts.

My dinner last night was quick tuna salad -- but not that kind of quick tuna salad.

 

[FrogPrincesse]

@Shelby The teal looks amazing. I had it only a few times a while back, and still remember the flavor (it was at St John in London). I love duck and this was a real treat.
