What did I cook this weekend.....

[bfish]

My part of the family get-together meal was Green Goddess Salad. It was a hit as I was requested to make it again. I tripled the recipe and it worked perfectly for out 8 adults and 8 kids (about half ate some):

Tonight's repast same as last night's - refried beans with cheese, the last of that sprouted rice/quinoa mix, carnitas, salsa, sliced avocado with garden-picked lime and sea salt, black olives, homemade tortilla chips, homebrewed beer.

Worked on jeep last night, so the wife decided to cook dinner. She made NY Strip steaks for them in the cast iron pan, and salmon steaks in the non-stick pan for me.

I shared some salmon with my oldest. I did not receive any NY Strip in return. WTH? I thought it was in plied that WE were sharing!

Meh. Wife cooked them so they were probably overdone anyway.

Leftover sirloin and chicken tacos. Corn tortillas. Salsa verde, cilantro and jalapeño peppers.

Nothing special. But hitting the spot.

Medium-rare strip, salad, and mash. Paired really nicely with a Polish Porter.

Poke (Hawaiian raw fish salad, pronounced by locals as "paw-key") - sashimi-grade tuna, wakame (sea weed), shallots (God! I miss the REAL Maui onions), tomatoes and spring onions - seasoned with a concoction of lime juice, soy sauce, sesame oil and a bit of mirin (Japanese cooking wine).

I love poke salad (and around here, it's pronounced "poe-key" - go figure regional differences!) - the local Safeway store sells it in two versions, shoyu and wasabe. Both are really good! Yours looks excellent!

Thank you

One day also want to try salmon with mayo/wasabi dressing; something along these lines:

KOTC would love that - raw salmon is his favorite kind of sashimi/sushi.

You've done it again. That is just beautiful!! Mouthwatering!

Last week, we made arepas with homemade green chorizo and homemade/homegrown salsa verde. With chicken, so choripollo. View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1484776964.245977.jpg

Fish tacos. Down and dirty.

Tilapia fillets with panko breading fan fried in a little vegetable oil, bagged dry coke slaw blend, Chipotle dressing, chopped scallions on a warmed tortilla. Not fancy, pretty much a Sandra Lee style recipe (straight from the grocery store to the dish) but damn tasty.

I am also a big sucker for salmon; on a weekly basis, we get a pound of salmon fillet, remove the skin and spread a generous amount of salt on both sides of it.

After a couple of days, the salmon is cured, gets chopped into 1/2" pieces. It goes great with rice congee, served with soy vinegar-infused ginger & finely chopped scallions.

One of my favorite breakfast items

Last night was Chicken Stir Fry. I just googled a few recipes and then threw a bunch of stuff together off the top of my head. Everyone seemed to like it. Nice change from the usual Teriyaki my wife makes. Also tried Udon Noodles for the first time. They were really good. I might start eating them as a regular side dish for lots of things! Also tried rice noodles that were in the cupboard for a long time. Not as good. Shaped like noodles, but tasted like rice.

Pretty stoked about my first attempt at making a fritata. Ham, taters, and cheddah! Came out great.

Super fail last night making homemade sausage/cheese ravioli. They fell apart in the pot - I forgot to use egg wash when I sandwiched the raviolis - had it sitting right there and just forgot. I ate the slop anyway, and it was tasty.

I have 16 chickens so lotsa eggs. Frittatas are one of the best things ever .You can add almost any leftover or not leftover meat ,cheese or vegetable and with some toast feed four people for 2 bucks; not to mention they are defrickinlicious. Good job.:rockin:

Can't wait for eaten pics. That's some culinary skillz. Something I think I'll try (after hearing results ) I would have liked to see a pic of it before it was rolled up.

Your twine skills might have some room for improvement. Two knots, and cinch it tight like this. Works for any size roast. Looks cool, too. I trim and tie tenderloin roasts this way.

I'll take that advice. For the record, SWMBO tied it, ha ha. But we're always up for learning. Thank you.

Here we go. So good.

Pics of the pre-fail. No abortion pics. Imagine the stuff below, sploded all over a plate, with some nice tomato/mushroom/basil sauce on it.

In the first pic you can barely see a bowl with eggs and a pink brush. That never got used. Woopsy.

Fried rice with kalua pork. The Mrs and I are moving in a few days so we're keeping it classy with the paper plates and plastic utensils
