While I can vivdly imagine a Parmigiano chicharrón I am also intrigued by the celeriac tartare … could you elaborate 🙏 ?

 

I wish I could, @Duvel, as I really like celeriac, and often make Céleri Rémoulade.  It was almost a purée, but other than that I have no idea how it was  made, but I'll see if I can get the recipe from the chef!

After almost too much dining out, a couple of dinners at home were necessary.

Not for @rotuts's roast chicken picture collection, as I tore the skin, but still a delicious bird. That'll teach me not to try to cook this in a different pan (said pan ended up going down the chute!).  With sautéed spinach, roasted potatoes and roasted carrots.  Chicken (Sundance Farms) was salted and dried in the fridge for a day and a half - really helps the bird.

Last night's crab cake with house-made cole slaw and cocktail sauce.  And not house-grown avocado and tomato.  Japanese rice served with.

A quick supper after a busy day with appointments: Shake'n'Bake Chicken Cavendish fries and peas

Had strip loin steaks thawed, but didn't feel like steak. Sliced and stir-fried with fajita seasonings, veg. Eaten with flour tortillas, fixings and guac.

Leftover beef was used for next day's supper, steamed with Mui Choy, chili flakes, and mint leaves

Had the grands here for the weekend while parents are away to Calif for a "conference". 25 year old grandson was helping out by sleeping over with them at their house. HE eats copious amounts of anything. The girls are picky, but they both love ham and scalloped potatoes, and uncooked vegetables!  Banana Cream Pie from scratch as per request, MY Mom's recipe.

Casserole pre-bake…spaghetti squash with a topping of sauteed mushrooms/onion, tomatoes, and diced, roasted eggplant. Grated parm. Will be having it with panko-crusted chicken breast strips.

Red curry bay scallops with green beans, lime leaves, cashews, palm sugar, fish sauce, and coconut milk. Red curry paste from a tub, supplemented with pureed lemongrass, shallots, garlic, red chile, cilantro stems, and ginger.

 

Stir-fried mung bean sprouts with shallot, garlic, red chile, soy sauce, chives, S&P. High reward for minimal effort.

Looks fabulous! When you say 

"pureed lemongrass, shallots, garlic, red chile, cilantro stems, and ginger" is that a homemade concoction? I can buy lemongrass stalks, but they are about 8 to a package - way too much for one recipe. Looking for a way to not waste the lemongrass

Thank you! Yes, homemade concoction to supplement the commercial red curry paste.

 

8 lemongrass stalks to a package is a lot. I found 5 to a package and used one in tonight's meal. Dunno what I will do with the rest but lemongrass is easy to toss into salads, stir-fries, etc. We shall see. 🙂

You could try rooting some to grow outside in the summer or in a pot indoors. 
Luckily, I can buy them by them individually, priced per lb but I might try this anyway.

You beat me to it. I've done this successfully on my balcony despite my very ungreen fingers.

 

I don't have any growing at the moment following a house move but now this topic has reminded me, I'll start again.

First try of Trout and Sprawn Terrein with chrispy fish skin

Terrines are fun. :)

That's an attractive dish, and an appealing first post (welcome aboard, btw!). What are the grainy bits in the mushroom sauce?

Not always possible depending on what her lemongrass looks like.  All the lemongrass I've seen in my area has been cut off above the base with roots and will not root, no matter what.  I've even tried rooting hormone which can make almost anything root.  Not only that, but all of the lemongrass I've bought here is old and dry like a twig.  I'd imagine that even if it had roots, it would be long past the point of being able to grow further.  For my garden, I actually wound up buying a lemongrass start.

Yes, that's why I included the Garden Betty link as her photos show that the base needs to be intact.

Thanks! The fat bits on the ham, brushed with maple syrup, were SO good!

It was a supper enjoyed by all.

Since I am on a bread making jag, I thought I'd try some decorative scoring.  I looked at examples on line.  Some of them use dark bread and brushed a layer of white flour over the top for contrast.  I didn't see any examples of what i did but it was worth a try. I used white flour for the bread and mixed a small amount of cocoa with white flour to dust over the top.  I have read that they use cocoa in rye flour to make it dark so I hope it tastes OK. We will make sandwiches with it for supper.  This was my third attempt.  I have some ideas for way to improve my earlier failures.
