Dinner 2024

[Honkman]

Kimchi Fried Rice - ground pork, napa cabbage kimchi, corn, scallion greens and rice are stir fried and finished with a sauce made by pureeing asian pear, scallion whites, ginger, garlic, gochujang and soy sauce. Finished with some toasted sesame seeds and toasted sesame oil. Served with fried egg.

Clean out the garden and clean the refrigerator salad. Spinach that was starting to bolt, a single asparagus stalk, tomatoes from the farmers market, gravlax, marinated feta, and rice noodles. With a mango lime dressing. I'll be having the leftovers with leftover tom yum soup tonight.

My sis and BIL are here helping me. They treated me to dinner at local favorite Osteria Bianchi. No pix. BIL had duck, sis had taglietelle and I had my favorite mortadella pizza which is my favorite pizza and I'd been craving it.

Stir-fry with peppers, onions, garlic, ginger, mountain lion. Couple heaping tablespoons of chili crisp added proper heat. 

 

Mountain lion?

Work has been manic and stressful just recently and though I have photographed some of the meals I have made, most have been home cooked meals out of the freezer.

I thought I had a sleeve of chorizo in the freezer so I got it out to make beef and chorizo meatballs, only when I looked at it this afternoon it was a sleeve of salami (Milano to be precise).

Well, waste not want not; I followed the recipe taking out all the chefy faff and made the meatballs. I used the tomato sauce from nigellas meatballs with black pudding and it was good. Possibly a little less salt next time as the salami added more than I thought it would. 
No fresh parsley, so substituted with fresh coriander (Cilantro to those across the pond).

The recipe produced 45 meatballs

 

 

I didn’t bake them as per the recipe, just dropped them in the sauce for 25 minutes.

 

 

 

I served them to my wife with mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli. I tasted one meatball and they were very good. My Crohn’s is making it a little difficult to eat at present so small and often, no big meals, nothing heavy.

Dinner tonight was home breaded chicken schnitzel with potato, broccolin and a small salad with leaves from the garden. I wanted a sauce and found a copy cat Chick Fil A sauce which consisted of mayonnaise, Bar B Q sauce, honey and mild English mustard. Was OK.

Dinner last night , was @ the WHPS  : 

 

3 Chablis to evaluate :

 

https://forums.egullet.org/topic/153603-what-did-you-buy-at-the-liquor-store-today-2016/page/21/

 

 

 

we got our seafood here , in Falmouth  ( a near by town )

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

we got 6 lemon sole filets ( to stack w breadcrumbs and  bake )  12 jumbo cooked shrimp , and 2 doz oyesters

 

two varieties . the place is small , but everything is very fresh .  on entering the establishment ,

 

there is no seafood odor !

 

 

first layer fish + breadcrumbs.  the breadcrumbs were fresh , and cuisinart'ed  w some finely

 

chopped spinach ( for the green color ) did not have scallions or parsley. Shallots , garlic and

 

butter and a good splash of one of the Chablis.  I sensed the breadcrumbs were moist , and

 

should have put them in the oven for a few minutes to dry out 

 

just a bit , thus better to absorb the Chablis.  

 

 

second layer , and baked and plated :

 

 

the crumb mixture was a bit heavy as the crumbs were a bit moist .  risotto  ( iPot'd ) wthe

 

cooked shrimp pot top and gently wilted spinach .

 

very tasty 

 

that's Archie , BTW ,on the lower L above pic.  He has appointed himself the Kitchen MajorDomo.

Alton Brown's Vegetable Soup - since it's always better next day, this is a Sunday prep for next week.

fresh in the pot - still needs some souping time . . .

I did just track it back on my own, but thank you! Looks like some excellent food and socializing and a lovely setting!

[Captain]

Beef tenderloin won at the local golf club last weekend.

BBQed on my kamado.

[BeeZee]

Watching Ina Garten this morning inspired a riff on Charlie Bird Salad. I had leftover cooked farro and sweet potatoes, added some cooked shrimp, used a bit of goat cheese instead of parmesan. Very simple and will make it again (in some form!).

 

[Honkman]

Beef Stew with diced beef chuck, crumbled salsiccia, mushrooms, carrots, onions, potatoes, bay leaves, bbq sauce, tomato paste, paprika and parsley. Thickened with some flour at the end and served with some sour cream.

[Dejah]

Were busy with medical apptns, other errands, and hubby didn't feel like the steaks I had set out. So, I pulled out the 2 big chunks of bone from the saddles of lamb and made Scotch Broth. Had leeks, turnip, carrot, parsnip, celery, and it was perfect with a few oyster crackers. I enjoyed some fresh mint with mine.

 

                                                                                   !

 

Grilled in the cast iron the 2 tenderloins I had set out for last night's supper. Baked potato, veg from the freezer, and some raw stuff.

                                                                                 

Have new shipment of pickerel coming in the next couple of weeks. Had some tonight to work down the stash! Diced up and sauteed zucchini, bell pepper, and an eggplant, and Jasmine rice = supper.

Are the wontons homemade?  If so, what did you use for afilling?  If not, from where and what do you think of it?

 

Not homemade.  They were Laoban ginger chicken flavor.  They had a nice gingery flavor, but were a little too salty for me. 

 

Weekend dinners: Friday we had spaghetti with spicy turkey meatballs

 

 

Saturday we had apple sausages with sauerkraut, potato pancakes and applesauce

 

 

And Sunday we had spinach and ricotta stuffed shells with a lemony arugula salad

 

[RWood]

Pizza-Pepperoni, Vidalia onion and castlevetrano olives, and Mortadella (on half), red onion, Parm, fontina, pistachios and garlic.  I used Ooni's poolish dough this time. It was surprisingly easy to work with even though it said it was 100% hydration.  Nice and chewy too.

Mountain lion?

@gfwebYes. They are hunted here (and other states) and many consider them to be the best game meat. Meat is very inoffensive when raw (some game has an unpleasant raw stink), very similar to pork in texture (raw or cooked). I have prepared it in chile verde and stirfry, it plays very nicely and doesn't need strong flavors to mask gamey-ness. This was a young male, 3-ish years old, 120ish pounds.

@Dejah your Scotch Broth veg soup is screaming my name on this cold windy day. Looks a perfect warming bowl!

Interesting.  I had always heard that predators didn't make good meat, but I guess this is an exception!

[Raamo]

Finally cooled off it's time to do Pizza!

 

Of course today we set a record in the 70s....  but it cools down at night.

 

 

MP Sauce and Crust, Onions + 1/2 sausage and 1/2 pinapple.

I'd heard the same for 30+years and and then was told that folks ate them! Protein doesn't go to waste in my world so I figured if it was inedible it'd be dog food. It's quite pleasant.
