Dinner 2024


liuzhou

Recommended Posts

I made up a small batch of shepherd's pie yesterday, split it into 3 portions, and had one for dinner.

Ground lamb, mushrooms, onion, carrots, peas and herbs with just enough of a Habanero pepper to know it's there but not overpowering.

Covered with colcannon instead of plain mashed potatoes.

Yeah, that’s a much more open vee shape than I recall from when my mother got a “taco making” set in the late ‘70s, the sides were maybe an inch apart at the top of the shell. Maybe you, or Charlie, could bend them to be more closed? Unless they’re stainless steel, I suspect that whatever plating is on them would crack and peel, so maybe not a great idea.

I tried to bend them but when I did, the spacing between them wasn't even on both sides so I bent them back.  Since I don't really have anything to lose, I could try again.  When I ordered them, I looked for ones like i remembered but didn't see any.  PS wouldn't you know? When I looked again just now, I did see some but they didn't have handles so I'd need to use tongs to take them out.  Considering how much oil it takes to submerge them, I will just stick to frying them flat.

Thick pork loin chops, slow cooked with carrots, potatoes and spinach in my new Ninja Possible Cooker Pro.  My review of the cooker is here: https://forums.egullet.org/topic/167168-ninja-possible-cooker-pro/

The meat was tender but dry, as expected with loin cuts.

 

The iPot never got hot enough on low.  After 8 hours things were still uncooked.  Use Hi if you are going to try it.  And use shoulder or butt.

Surprisingly good and easy dinner, considering I've been spending the last few days whinging about how I no longer want to cook or eat.

 

I started with chopped slices of smoked pancetta from the Northern Waters Smokehaus, a local favorite (this stuff has been in the freezer for weeks). Cooked until it had started to brown and render its fat, then added chunks of asparagus and spattered all over the stove. I persevered, and when the asparagus had started to cook slightly added the contents of a can of Great Northern Beans.

Added enough of the canning liquid to get the sauce consistency I wanted, then threw in the basil that's started dying since I repotted it.

Delicious. First time I've used that stainless steel skillet in quite some time. And yes, I'm still using my black spatula.

I added some fresh ground Pasilla de Oaxaca, a splash of good quality balsamic vinegar, and a handful of baby spinach leaves ... a simple, quick, and easy to prepare dinner. Plus a 3 - 4 inch sized piece of the local bakery's sourdough baguette, as well.

@Shelby: THAT pizza you posted. I would LOVE that!

Our first winter storm arrived Tues - beginning with rain, then ice pellets, then snow and blizzard winds. Main highways and many provincial roads were closed due to ice and visibility issues. Semis were parked along the shoulders from yesterday afternoon to this morning.
It was a good day to stay home. I baked muffins all day, so supper was quick and easy.
Butter Chicken with commercial sauce. Eaten with Cardamom Basmati rice

A couple of my nieces who grew up working in our family restaurant were visiting from Calgary. Their request was for some dishes we had on our menu: #17 Soo's #17 - deep fried pork ribs  (with a few chicken balls!)   and some turned into #13, Sweet & Sour Pork Ribs

Shrimp Egg Foo Young was another favourite as was Boneless Almond Chicken:

Winnipeg Blue Bombs made it to the Grey Cup for the 5th year, but lost miserably in the last quarter! Supper was a winner tho- a single rib prime roast

Lots of colds and flu hitting friends, so out came my Hot 'n' Soup Soup pot. Supper was augmented with some air fryer chicken wings with VH Chili Mango sauce.

And finally, another dish we love, but definitely a vegetable you either love or hate: Shrimp and Bitter Melon (Foo Gua) with black bean garlic sauce over rice noodles.

I think that food would make up for a Blue Bombers loss, not that I keep track of them these days, so thanks for the update.
