Yellowbird Serrano is a favorite of mine.  I have three bottles in the bedroom.

 

We like that is not sweet at all or killer spicy. So much flavor but nice subtle heat. 

Roasted another Mary's baby chicken Sunday. Rainy day. Started a Dashi stock mid-day. Back burner. A few chicken necks, and a frozen chicken frame from last week. Added crisper drawer veg as I found cleaning out. The WildFork beef neck bones and marrow bones I purchased for stock but way to nice for that....just used a few. Thinking a shallow braise, then over polenta/grits. 

Added our dinner chicken frame and simmered a few more hours. Burner off removed most of the solids with a spider. Added a sheet of kombu and some bonito flake. Half hour. Strained into my big glass pyrex in an ice bath. Stock sucks if you leave the various oily strainers, etc next morning. I had everything clean and in the dishwasher Sunday night. Pints of stock Monday morning in the fridge were thick collagen jelly.

Not sure if it's a southern Chinese version or just that my Mom always put in beef to please my Caucasian hubby who doesn't usually eat tomato!

 

Never seen of heard of it and I'm in southern China. I think your theory about your Mom is the most likely.

Wisconsin relatives were in town so we went out for beer, coleslaw, and . . .

I wonder if the seasoning is anything like the seasoning on the crabs in Maryland. They sell Phillips Maryland seasoning, but it taste and more importantly smells nothing like the seasoning they put on Maryland crabs at a crab house down there.

Brother Sapidus is in Maryland, so I'm sure an Old Bay style seasoning was in play.

Yup, gfweb has it right. Old Bay all the way!

Its not Old Bay either. Its more pungent. I use Old Bay all the time in my seafood boils.

It is quite popular in Taiwan, so maybe south-eastern Chinese 😉 ...

Looks amazing and I even have all the ingredients! It never occurred to me to freeze smoked duck breast but since it is on reliably available that is very helpful.  

 

[gulfporter]

Grilled salmon with a Mediterranean side of charred grape tomatoes, portobello, shallot, capers, kalamata olives.  

 

 

[shain]

Some old stuff from around Passover.

[liamsaunt]

Cold dreary day here, so we had miso salmon ramen soup with spiralized carrots and purple daikon (the daikon bled most of their color into the cooking water, so next time I will have to leave them raw).  Chopped up pea shoots for greens, and some chiles.

@C. sapidus CRAB ENVY HAPPENING

 

Salad and spaghetti

 

 

 

Next night

 

Lemon roasted broccoli with parm cheese.  Wanted to add some toasted pine nuts but I guess I don't have any.  However, my cabinets are a total wreck so I could have like 60 lbs of them and not know sigh.

 

 

Roasted chicken half

 

 

Tortellini to go with

 

 

Ronnie went fishing and caught some walleye.  So good.  Also fried some mushrooms.  The usual spinach and macaroni and cheese to go with.

 

 

 

Been hungry for something Asian.  So, fried rice, the last of the soup dumplings and sticky wings.

 

 

 

 

Breakfast--yes, I was out of ideas and it was getting late in the evening lol.  Boudin, fried potatoes.  Tried a new recipe in the IP.  Brussels sprouts in a garlic, cream cheese parmesan sauce.  It was good.  

 

 

Last night pepperoni/canadian bacon/mushroom pizza, mushroom salad.  Basil that Ronnie is growing.

 

 

 

Homemade ice cream and berries for dessert

 A couple of dinners:

 

Panko shrimp, made in the Speedi, with leftover rice.

 

 

Sirloin with snap peas:

@Shelby all appeals   I have not had fried mushrooms in 30 years. My husband used to bring them to me from a little take-out place down the road along with fried zucchini when I was pregnant.  I don't fry at home just for me but I'll live vicariously through yours. And the skin on your roast 1/2 chickn!

I hadn't made fried mushrooms in a really long time.  Ronnie said he was hungry for them.  I like to do them when I'm frying other things--they stay hot as molten lava for so long that they can wait until the other stuff is done lol.

@Shelby I'm surprised that you have walleye that far south. Huh.

They are very much sought after around here.  They started spawning about a week ago.  It's been chilly.  Some years we don't catch any.  A lot of the lakes have a 21" minimum length limit, but the lake he went to has an 18" limit.

Dinner tonight was courtesy of Charlie... McDonalds. Dessert was another of those cakes that divide into layers as they bake. This time it was chocolate.  

[Ann_T]

 

Ham dinner with Moe's favourite potato gratin made with chicken broth, seasoned with caramelized onions and fresh thyme. baked squash and steamed broccoli.

It was a small ham so I won't be stuck with a lot of leftovers.

Enough for a couple of ham sandwiches and the bone will go into a pot of navy bean soup and I might even make Moe a pineapple ham pizza.

I'm happy to make him one as long as I don't have to eat it. It is called an act of LOVE!!!
