What did I cook this weekend.....

[FermentNEthinG]

Beautiful work Cheesy!

Yesterday was mandu night. Made a bunch to freeze for soups later then fried a bunch for the family after fishing all day. These freakin things are a labor of love let me tell ya. Took me what seemed like hours to make 6 trays. I need a mandu machine...

Hot damn, that's on my list!

+1.
Definitely need to try those in the near future

 

[unionrdr]

Gotta recipe for those? They look like they'd be good with yogurt/cucumber sauce...!

RANCH! :rockin:

 

[unionrdr]

Peppercorn ranch mixed 50/50 with parmesan ranch!

I don't know why but I find ranch to be detestable. I mean it's so bad that the smell of it stimulates my gag reflex. I have no idea why it's so offensive to me but it really is.

I find pretty much any condiment other than BBQ sauce detestable.

Horseradish sauce?

Ranch Dressing is one of those things that I wish could be un-invented, for the sake of humanity, like coca-cola, or the atom bomb.

There's only one acceptable condiment in my house, and that's Sriracha.

Sriracha is not a condiment in my house. We go at it like the main course.

SWMBO and I took the boat up to Beverly harbor for a few days of narcosis. Nitrogen narcosis during the day, alcohol narcosis once the wetsuits came off.

All the catch was kept in catch bags hanging under the boat until we put it on ice for the 30 mile trip home today. Could not possibly be any fresher.

Our share. We caught a total of 25 bugs and an 'incidental' catch of a dozen or so scallops. Split up between four divers even steven.



I grabbed a few sea urchins to have some fresh roe. Not really in season, the roe sack were small but SO good.





Best if all SWMBO doesn't like Umi so I got it all!!!!

 

[paulthenurse]

Scallops and roe. The scallops are great. The roe blows your socks off. It is that good. Shucking a scallop and tossing away the roe should be a capital offense.

[paulthenurse]

And the main ( not Maine) event...



I actually ate two tonightg. I probably catch 150 of so bugs myself a year but I might eat two or three a year. To me it's the hunt/dive. SWMBO probably doubles my catch. She is otherworldly. She is a lobster whisperer. I'll swim through an area and get one, she'll come along ten minutes behind me and get four. Lobster whisper her name in hushed tines. They call hey Lady Voldemort.

Gin is my mortal enemy!

 

[paulthenurse]

Making stock for winter time lobster bisque. In the North Atlantic Ocean this morning, in my freezer tonight.

 

[paulthenurse]

A few pounds of picked lobster meat cooling in the fridge. Lobster rolls will be featured on the LSU menu this weekend,


(Note to self.... Go to Stop and Shop and grab a pack is Fenway Franks so you don't go hungry on Saturday.)

Awesome job! If willing, please share your recipe!

 

[headbanger]

Horseradish sauce?

Don't mind horseradish by itself but don't like many sauces, especially if they contain any type of mayo or mustard.

Ouzo here.

So you're saying that you don't like mittelscharfer senf with grilled bratwurst? Or wasabi and soy with sushi? Or lime pickle and mango chutney with a spicy lamb curry? Or pesto on top of sunny side up eggs? Or mexican salsa on fajitas?

New set of nonstick frypans and saucepans arrived today. I'm pretty excited to try them out. I normally use allclad SS frypans, and you all have probably seen them in my pics here. But my wife (who doesn't do much cooking at all) will only use the nonstick. Our teflon jobs have lost their good looks, so I decided to try a set of these newfangled ceramic nonsticks. If they warp or delaminate, I'll chunk them... they are fairly cheap.

I'm gonna make an omelet in the AM for test.

Does anyone have any experience with ceramic nonstick?

I was joking (somewhat) when I said "only". A lot of Americans prefer ketchup or ranch dressing as their "general-use" condiment, whereas I tend to use Sriracha as a substitute for both.

Of course when eating "cultural" meals (Mexican, Thai, Japanese, Indian, German, etc) I will use the culturally appropriate condiment of choice. I'm not a complete heathen.

Too bad. There's beauty to perfection, even a perfect heathen.

I just fried an egg in those pans above. Nonstick is great. Crazy. Hope they last.

Frying eggs is the only reason I even own a non-stick pan, and even then I buy the cheapest one I can find because even the expensive ones that I've had didn't last more than two years (some are dead within 6 months, because I refuse to fry on medium heat). And none of them are immune to warping because I only fry eggs on one speed: full blast. And I put them in the dishwasher daily, because I fry eggs daily.

As for the rest of my cooking, I prefer enamel and (ocassionally SS). My Le Creuset saucier has got to be the most used piece of cookware ever.

Weekend is upon us now. I've got to come up with something good to cook so I can post it here. Grilling season is just about over here in Finland, temperatures sank like a rock last week and the warm weather probably isn't coming back.

 

[Cheesy_Goodness]

Good cast iron pans are the best nonstick pans around imho. Between those and a wok I rarely use anything else.

 

[unionrdr]

Oh yeah. We got a big cast iron pan at the flea market & refurbished it. I grew up using those. Nothing like fresh mountain trout floured up in that thing with some eggs!

 

[paulthenurse]

Cast iron pans are the cooking equivalent of the Patriots. Everything else is second best.

 

[BUCKNUTS]

I use tri-ply stainless for most cooking but I have a cheap non stick for eggs and a Lodge enamel coated cast iron dutch oven for braising. I have a ridiculous glass top stove that I despise so no cast iron on the stove top much to my chagrin.
