Grilled Baby back ribs, Greek style, with an eggplant side dish for dinner.

Back home … and felt a hankering for Chinese:

 

Sweet & sour shrimp with lychee (甜酸荔枝虾), cheaters scalliion pancakes (葱油饼), cumin lamb (孜然羊肉), white cooked chicken (白切鸡) with two types of scallion oil and the classic tomato & eggs (番茄炒蛋) …

 

 

Scratched the itch pretty well - no complaints 🤗

Please tell me that that feast came from a restaurant.  If you had made all of that from scratch after just home from holiday, I will hang my head in shame forever that I would not even attempt such a feat!

Hahaha … thanks. Little one went to the pool this afternoon with a friend, so when I finished work I had two hours of undisturbed “me time” 🤗

I'll hang mine along with you.  I could lay in bed for a week, get up, and still not have the ambition to do all of that.

Tuscan-Style Shrimp with Beans - made with pinto beans, shrimp, onion, rosemary, red pepper flakes, parsley and white wine

Huachingo a la Veracruzana, but made with fresh walleye rather than red snapper. Saute white onion, garlic, flat-leaf parsley, and piquillo peppers. Add crushed tomato, S&P, chopped green olives, sliced jalapenos en escabeche, and some of the chile vinegar. When the sauce is cooked down, add the walleye fillets, poach in the sauce, and top with capers.

 

Walleye was from a local fish market. Mrs. C grew up eating freshly-caught walleye, and approved. Looks like we will be sending more business their way.

 

Arroz Poblano: roast Poblano chiles and blend with white onion, garlic, spinach, flat-leaf parsley, cilantro, and Mrs. C's freshly made chicken stock. Fry the rice, add puree, and then cook the rice in chicken stock. A favorite.

Do you peel them after roasting?

Yes, char on the gas burner, wrap in a kitchen towel to steam, and the skin rubs off pretty easily.

Baby backribs on sale at Safeway. I was short of time, so I didn't slow cooked them as long as I usually do. But they turned out well - in the oven and into our tummies!
I had a few baby Shanghai Bok Choy languishing in the crisper while I was away. Trimmed off the yellowed leaves and simmered the stalks in the rib juice that I drained off from the ribs. Cooked 2 racks and sent one to the freezer for a day when I don't feel like cooking.
