^ I love your breakfast flavors. 😃

 

We went out for tacos last night and had leftover taco meat - chorizo, lengua, al pastor, and barbacoa. Also had leftover spinach rice, green chutney, and some oyster and shiitake mushrooms that needed using up.

 

So, fried rice with shallot, jalapeno, sliced ginger, and fish sauce, finished with an egg, feta, cilantro, and Asian basil. You can't really see the taco meat, but the flavors came through.

I made Shepherd's pies this morning,

 

one for Moe's breakfast and I'm taking the other one for lunch.

砂锅北海沙虫粥 (shā guō běi hǎi shā chóng zhōu), sandpot Beihai sand worm congee.

 

The worms are harvested from the beaches of Beihai in southern Guangxi at dawn. Famous local delicacy.

I love the shape of those bowls @Ann_T. What a delicious spoonful that looks. 
 

Breakfast outside in the garden this morning was fried egg plus speck on rye sourdough toast.

I roasted a very small brined brisket yesterday for St. Patrick's Day.

When I say small, I mean really small. Just enough leftover for the sandwich I made Moe for breakfast.

 

I'm not a fan of boiled corned beef so for the last 12 years, I've used a different method.

The meat is rubbed with fresh garlic and lots of black pepper and roasted it in the oven.

interesting technique .

 

as the meat has been brined , is your result salty ?

 

simmering a brined product move some of the brined salt back into the water.

I rinsed it first, but didn't soak it. It wasn't overly salty.  Like a ham, not something I'm going to cook very often

as it doesn't fit into the low sodium diet for Moe. 

 

Problem with the boiled corned beef is I just don't like it.  Every time I made it, I would wonder why

since neither of us really liked it. 

 

I can't remember where I got the slow roasted method, but it was a game changer. 

Might have been actually someone here on eGullet.

than k you for that reference . I wonder if the salt level is different ' from a local butcher '

 

vs from AgraCon.

Many years ago I did a few trips on a tuna pole boat (as an observer only). 

There was a crew of about 13 and  one of the meals was oven roasted corn beef.

It turned out to be reasonable taste wise but pretty salty, which wasn't actually a bad thing because the work poling tuna was very physical with little relief and nights spent catching bait, so everyone was generally permanently exhausted.

But because of the nature of the work you would sweat buckets and just drinking water wasn't enough. 

The salt of the corn beef replenished the salt and allowed you to drink more water and actually quenched your thirst..

Early breakfast was a sort of scrambled omelette with avocado. 
 

[C. sapidus]

Fried some bacon and added last night's taco filling (potato, sausage, Poblano chiles, mustard greens) along with pickled jalapenos and leftover rotisserie chicken. Topped the lot with a fried egg

 

[Ann_T]

Greek Baby Back ribs on the grill with a potatoes, zucchini and red peppers roasted in the oven.

 

Moe's breakfast yesterday and I took the same to work for lunch.

And in the background, was the sourdough boule baked early yesterday morning.

Clean-out-the-fridge breakfast: Italian sausage, cubed zucchini, chiles, shallots, and garlic, sauteed and then mixed with tomato paste, half-and-half, and fish sauce. Made a pit in the middle, fried an egg, and then finished with cilantro, Asian basil, feta cheese, and a squeeze of lime.

 

Fridge is ready for a fresh batch of groceries.
