What's the most delicious thing you've eaten today (2005)

[chemprof]

From the farmers' market:

Silver King corn (fresh pulled, w/ butter salt and pepper)

Sliced Eva Purple Ball tomatoes w/ salt and pepper

Cheeseburger (w/ organic beef, sliced tomato, toasted bun) cooked on the grill.

It was a good dinner.

Mum and I made Indian-style mashed potato and curried mince lamb croquettes, breadcrumbed and deep-fried: these were breakfast, lunch and dinner for me!

Although I did have a delicioud pho from Tay Do Cafe in Dalston-Kingsland as well.

A bowl of Silver Queen corn, bought, cut and cooked within an hour of the stalk. The crisp little silks were a fresh pale green as they fell away with the brush.

It was a creamy, rich, beautiful soupy bowl, with just the right amount of butter and salt. I had just fried the requisite six chicken wings to accompany (and because Hubby, who does ALL the corn cooking, requires a tiny bit of the oil and all the lovely brown crispy scrapings from the bottom of the chicken skillet). They are the "secret ingredient" in his Heavenly corn.

The other bowl of heirloom tomato chunks with seasalt, with a spoon into the corn, savor the bite---spoon into tomato, relish that taste--alternating the deep rich sweetness with the tang of homegrown tomato, warm from the garden, until both bowls were empty and Summer's finest dinner combination had been enjoyed once again.

boneless Cornish hen

Tell me, how do you account for that? Who boned it for you and how?

←

It was deboned by a talented chef. I think I've seen chefs snip the backbone out with kitchen shears on TV. The bones in the wings are left alone. I had a "boneless" Cornish hen earlier this week too, at Le Crocodile in Vancouver.

(And since it's after midnight, I guess I can post what will probably be the most delicious thing I'll eat today--gingersnap dough from a Chez Panisse recipe! Nice amount of spices. )

a spoonfull of the milk which is simmering (and has been for, three hours now) for christine ferber's praline milk jam.

a lot like condensed milk, but better.

I'm waiting patiently another hour to add the praline powder, then one more before I jar it

Asam laksa, a Malaysian invention;) I hate the noodles she used this time (her supplier was on leave, it seems and I prefer the thicker, jelly-like noodles) but the soup is amazing. Pardon the newspapers, it was "eat-in-front-of-the-tv-day"

[Rehovot]

Homemade caramel sauce. Great spooned over a piece of pear-shortbread tart, and in coffee. Best of all, the saucepan survived!

Yum ! Does anyone want to take a wild guess of what was it ?

Chefreit,

You are good. It's pork tongue salad with Vietnamese mint.

[Ling]

^Oh god. I could totally go for that right now. (And I swear, if this wasn't a post on Egullet, people would think I'm being sarcastic.) Looks delicious.

I sandwiched ice-cream in between gingersnap cookies, and also those Korova cookies. I have batches of cookie dough in the freezer...so I can slice and bake whenever I want.

C'mon, Ling, the gig is up: we all know that you're not really going to fire up the oven and bake a damn thing! That dough is gonna get in yer belly uncooked!!

Meanwhile, back to the thread at hand: I had a fine carbonara tonight with fresh black pepper spaghetti, some tasty Boar's Head bacon, and a few other fine things involving cream, eggs, and lots more heart-healthy stuff.

I just finished a dish of LaSalle Cherry Vanilla Ice Cream. LaSalle has been my ice cream of choice this summer. I don't even like cherry vanilla, but I like LaSalle Cherry Vanilla. A friend of mine, a cherry vanilla fan, sweras that it puts Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia (I've never tried it) to shame.

I did have a sizeable portion of the dough straight from the freezer. But then I baked off 2 pans of cookies for my ice-cream sandwiches. It was my day off today...so I just spent the day bumming around the house, eating.

Best thing I had today: green beans from the farmers market, cooked with bacon, onions, and shrimp. Finished with cream. Yum. I also roasted some purple cauliflower.

[robb]

I'm feeling a bit guilty about this but the best thing I've had today was a pork chop, breaded, well seasoned and then fried in bacon grease.

[Daddy-A]

A cold, bbq'd lamb's rib ... washed down with a Granville Island Maple Cream Ale.

Would you be willing to share the recipe?

The joys of simplicity, a home-made chocolate milkshake.

[Chris Amirault]

Leftover lamb curry.

[Ling]

I thought I posted in here already...but the best thing I had today was the butter cake from the ISO: Ultimate Butter Cake recipe in the Pastry forum, posted by Sarah Phillips! I topped the cake with an apricot crumble mixture.

[slyaspie]

Home-grown (an heirloom variety) tomatoes lightly salted. 3 of them. And they were huge and so fragrant and juicy.

[dockhl]

Hanami prawn crackers from AA Groceries.  60% of my daily sat fat if i eat them all.  crispy, salty... uh, i think this belongs somewhere else...

smoked pork ribs covered in Canadian Club BBQ sauce, it went suprisingly well with soba noodles and sauce.

Scallion pancakes from New Green Bo on Bayard Street! Yay for jury duty!
