What did I cook this weekend.....

[paulthenurse]

Dammmmmn. Who knew something Kim Jong Kookoo eats daily could be so good.

 

[bob1852]

Asian-inspired appetizer 'dinner' tonight! California rolls, char siu bao, pot stickers, & chicken satay with peanut sauce.

 

[Dodes]

Maillard reactions in action Whole wheat/rye bread.

 

[slym2none]

I am about to burn some weenies on the grill, but have ho-made frenched potatoes frying up "confit style" (slow & low until tender, then crisped up at high heat, and yes, I know that's not really confit) right now.

Just that.

 

[mattmmille]

Coffee flan for dessert tonight.

Dear lord, that's revolting. And yet I'm salivating. I bet it was delicious.

Sissy Vided chicken cordon blu and threw it on the grill for color, first try on the grill, flavor was good but didn't get the color
Broccoli rabe and spiced rice accompanying.

Pinks and greens. Old school Army.

That looks really good. The batter looks very crispy and nice.

 

[paulthenurse]

That sure does look good.

 

[slym2none]

Did you expect more from a wannabe chef & lazy extract brewer?

:fro:

 

[kev211]

That looks really good. The batter looks very crispy and nice.

Thanks! I should have accompanied the beer with a splash of seltzer water. Could have used just a hair more "fluff". But Im just nitpicking. On the whole they were pretty stinkin good

 

[beernutz]

Grilled spicy shrimp with homemade dipping sauce made from grill roasted poblano peppers, avocado, sour cream and mayo with grilled seasoned corn and roasted potatoes. The Ferguson Crest Viognier wasn't bad either.

Take a hike photobucket, I'm an imgur man now.

 

[paulthenurse]

So I used to have a ton of pics on Photobucket. Do I need to pay to get them back?

 

[applescrap]

Nice beernutz. That green sauce looks very tasty. I like the skewer usage too.

 

[Remmy]

Nothing special. Grilled a 1.5-lb Porterhouse with grilled Thai green curry shrimp with spicy pork dumplings and steamed broccoli on the side.

[Hoppy2bmerry]

NY strip, rosemary Garlic potatoes, garden fresh tomato.

 

[applescrap]

@remmy
I want some nothing special for dinner. Beautiful as always. Would like to know more about the dumplings.

@hoppy2

Nice looking crust and inside on the steak. Curious about the tomato, is it dressed, cooked, or just a big beautiful slice. Is it a tradition or regional specialty?

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

@applescrap Just a beautiful slice of raw tomato, sometimes I'll add a drizzle of good balsamic, a small dollop of sour cream or just a little salt. I wouldn't call it a tradition, but when the garden is producing fresh is best. I eat tomato sandwiches too. And, thanks for the compliment on the cook of the steak, I can tell you it was tasty, tender and juicy.

Good food doesn't always require a kitchen filled with cooking vessels and utensils. Nor does it demand an elegant presentation. A tomato sandwich - simplicity at its finest, and sooo damn good.

Bagel and lox. With home-cured lox, of course!

That looks like an incredibly awesome bagel. I dont have an off switch around something like that, and with the capers, wow. I love capers and lox with red onion.

Can you post your recipe for the lox? I keep threatening to make some and would love a tried and true recipe from someone I trust!

 

[LakesideBrewing]

Yeah, it's all about tomatoes right now in New England! These got some olive oil and salt.

 

[bob1852]

I've made it several different ways, all with success.

This latest version was this, followed to a tee, except I didn't use dill. Just sugar/salt.

Thanks so much, that looks very simple and do-able.

It's really easy to make, not so easy to slice. I need a sushi knife or something.

BTW, I prefer to use wild sockeye salmon...

 

[Temptd2]

Thanks, I think Costco has been selling that lately - will have to take a look next week.

 

[bob1852]

Yep, that's where I got mine.

So its not smoked, just cured?

 

[bob1852]

This batch was just cured, not cured and cold smoked.

 

[paulthenurse]

Serious question... Could you cold smoke in Arizona this time of year even if you wanted to?

If so, technique?

 

[skidmark]

Need to be really careful reading the "Latest Posts" sidebar. To wit:

"What did you cook today?" Followed by, "Dogs" ...

 

[Remmy]

Homemade Mofongo, mixed with bacon and fresh garlic.

I simmered some coconut milk and added black pepper, salt and Thai green curry to the mixture before adding fresh shrimp.

Topped it with a fresh parsley, cilantro, fresh garlic and olive oil mixture. Smacked.
