^ aint nothin wrong with any of that. Bachelor chow pro-tip (as if you need one, this is for the viewers at home...) homemade hotsauce for the eggs.

Do you have a recipe in particular? I usually use homemade salsa if I have any on hand, if I was thinking I would have used sriracha at the very least!

Sorry been busy these last days of summer. I apologize for the delay in posting this recipe for the people interested.

Recipe for the mandu is a fairly simple one and it can be adjusted to your preference.

-1-1/2 pounds of ground pork
-1 nice sized bunch of young scallions (finely chopped)
-1 clove garlic (finely minced)
-2 tbs of sesame seed oil
-3/4 package of clear rice noodles (boiled for 3-4 minutes then chopped)(also called rice vermiccelli noodles)
-a pinch of korean red pepper flakes (gochugaru)
-1 egg
-salt and pepper
-tbs sugar
-1 tbs toasted sesame seeds (optional)

-A couple packages of mandu wraps or wonton wraps. Most of the time the wonton wraps are easier to locate.

-Combine all the ingredients above except the wraps and mix until well incorporated.

-Prepare a simple egg wash in another bowl and this will be used to seal the wraps shut.

-Place finger in the wash and wipe along 2 edges of the wrapper

-Scoop about 3/4-1 tbs of mixture in the center then fold to the egg washed
side to seal.

-Press hard and seal them up.

-Repeat!

-Place them in a fryer to fry golden brown or lay flat on cookie sheets in the freezer until hard. Then transfer into freezer bags for later frying or soups.

Last night, final dinner with our oldest son Hugh before leaving for the University of Glasgow for 13 months.

His choices: grilled strip steak with rosemary, thyme, sea salt and cracked pepper; grilled brussel sprouts tossed with sea salt and olive oil; lettuce salad with tomatoes and cucumber in a pomegranate balsamic vinagrette dressing.

Took him to the airport today, am glad he's going but am a little numb about it right now.

sounds like a great opportunity for him but I don't know if I could go 13 months without seeing my girls.

So have you considered grabbing the wife and visiting him in the spring?

That's a real possibility, if not earlier. But no set plans at this point.

One of my favorite comfort foods during the summer time
Quick pizzas.
I toast some bread then place a few slices of fresh tomatoes, fresh oregano, basil then some cheese and this time fresh jalapeños. Just pop them in the toaster oven until the cheese melts, delish!

Based on my catching up on the thread yesterday. Today's gastric adventure is Carne Guisada. I couldn't get it out of my head. Pulling out the Lodge cast iron as we speak.

Applewood smoked chipotle bourbon BBQ sauce (CA Johns) bacon wrapped water chestnuts.

I use this method, but with the little red tabasco hot peppers

That sounds delicious and simple.

Got late so no pics, but I roasted a 13lb turkey yesterday with a big pot of brown rice cooked in turkey broth topped with gravy. It was our 38th anniversary & we were broke. So we raided the freezer & pantry. Breast glistened with juices as I cut it. I love rice with fresh turkey juices. Wish I'd have had some sweet onion to caramelize to go with it. The saison de ete' kit I brewed went well with it. That little bit of barnyard thing on the back gave it a bit more country-like flavor I thought.

Happy Anniversary. Sometimes the best meals are the ones we make with what we have on hand.
Congrats of 38 years.

 

[unionrdr]

Thanks! She loved the meal as well. I'd also mixed the neck & giblet meats with the rice as well. Gotta wait till Monday to get paid to continue. Unless the holiday means early payout? Wanna BBQ some seafood!

Spent grain peanut butter and banana mini loaves...like a warm hug

 

[unionrdr]

I've thought about spent grain banana bread myself. Flavors should mix well, since that malt syrup in a jar stuff was used for such things in my day.

Tempeh tacos with homemade wheat tortillas and salsa.

[unionrdr]

They're good with fry bread too. The family liked the taste of'em.

I used to make a great shrimp fried rice, but SWMBO is VERY allergic to shrimp and sesame...deadly combination. It's too bad, 'cause it was so good! At the last minute, I would throw in a beaten egg and quickly mix it in. The heat of the food warms it through enough, but it doesn't scramble...makes the whole dish nice and moist.

My project today was foraged muscadine grape jelly. Last year's was a 2nd place state fair winner. Have to wait and see this year...it's good!

Isn't that the same apple pie from post #1?
Minus the apple hood ornament.

But isn't that the same chicken only on her pan not mine???

 

[mattmmille]

I almost bought this at the Asian supermarket today, but then decided I really didn't need it.
