Shepherd's pie.

It's not PDO so there was Parmesan on top, a smidge of Saint Agur blue cheese in the mash, a teaspoon of Marmite and peas in the filling.

Mrs. C dragged SIL around the local farm stands and fish markets, so their bounty is what we had for dinner.

 

Halibut cheeks, simply prepared with S&P. Yellow watermelon salad with tomatoes, balasmic vinegar, and Thai basil. Dry-fried green beans with chorizo, Tianjin preserved vegetable, ginger, soy sauce, and Shaoxing wine.

Spain-inspired, braised onions and potatoes, with pimentón and saffron.  As a side dish for...

Marmite doesn't get enough love as a seasoning. I put it in anything involving a gravy or red meat (e.g. ragu). Top marks from me 😀

菠萝炒饭 (bō luó chǎo fàn) Pineapple fried rice is not only common in Thailand but among many of China's ethnic minorities, especially the Dai people in Yunnan Province which borders Vietnam and Myanmar/Burma. It also borders Guangxi where I live and the ethnic minorites here also make it.

 

This which I put together last night is 菠萝虾仁炒饭 (bō luó xiā rén chǎo fàn), pineapple shrimp fried rice, to which I also  added a little chicken that needed using. Made it slightly spicy, too. So technically 菠萝虾仁鸡肉炒饭 (bō luó xiā rén jī ròu chǎo fàn), pineapple shrimp and chicken fried rice.

s your next stop Girona, or further south?  Are you all on the medieval tour?


A little further south, near Arenys de Mar. We are at my in-laws, but I am sure we‘ll be daytripping to Girona as well one of these days …

Well pizza of all types is one of his five core food groups, so I am sure he will be exploring that style while there!  He has been driving to his destination, and should get to his apartment by tonight.   I would not be surprised if pizza is his dinner. 🙂

 

Last night we had a green coconut vegetable curry using up some of the CSA bounty: zucchini, eggplant, peppers, cilantro, and onions.  I aded some cashews for crunch, and served it with lemongrass rice.

Sorry - what does CSA mean?


Community Supported Agriculture. Generally, you sign up with a farm, pay a set fee for a season and receive a regular box of produce. Variations abound. See more here.

Community Sponsored Agriculture.   It’s supposed to be an arrangement where you give a farmer money in exchange for a share of the harvest.   Usually a box of whatever they have ready that is picked up weekly.

 

In all honesty, mine is a fake CSA, aimed at the carbon conscious but culinarily inept.   They let you choose what you want each week rather than forcing you to contend with a giant pile of turnips.    The farm grows about 1/3 of the stuff there and buys the rest locally

Thank you :)

It isn’t a thing over here as far as I'm aware. Bit of a shame, as it sounds like a grand idea, but maybe it will take off in the future.

Another attempt to control the cheese drawer.   Served with corn from the CSA.   Best corn of the season so far.

So what is this dish?

(I have a cheese drawer which needs help too)

Cheese drawers don't need help, only a lack of self-restraint :D (usually around 2am)
