What did I cook this weekend.....

[Temptd2]

Last night I made a favorite "quickie" meal - pork tamales panfried in bacon fat, topped with fried eggs, refried beans, sliced avocado with yard-picked lime wedges and sea salt. Salsa on whatever needed it.

Couple of apple strudels. I would take the credit but my 3 yr old daughter did most of the work.

For some reason I was craving crappy, cheap, ramen. So I kicked it up a few notches...

Anybody doing anything fun for Superbowl?

It's just KOTC and me, so it will be pretty simple - hot wings with homemade bleu cheese dip, celery sticks, red bell pepper strips, homebrewed beer. I MIGHT make some clam dip too, not sure yet - do we NEEEEEED two kinds of cream cheese based dips? LOL!

OR I have some ripe avocados, might just make a little guacamole and have that with our homemade tortilla chips.

Anybody else?

I kid. Wings, shredded beef sliders, dogs in a blanket, beer, wine and a very nice ring for the middle finger to wave at Goodell.

Gumbo!! went with this recipe:

Used brown rice instead of white.

Came out quite nice.

That's a pretty similar technique to the way I learned. Nothing quite like the smell when the trilogy hits the smoking hot roux!!

Something about that mix I can't enjoy. I'd like to try authentic Gumbo in case I did something wrong, but one time I made it and was not happy.

Nothing special for SB last night. Leftover meatballs and mushroom soup gravy. Leftover Chicken dill Pizza from the brewery nearby. Salad (Because some other family members are trying a more healthy diet and lifestyle!) and I made egg drop soup.

I'm ready for something new and exciting. Trouble will be getting others here to try it. Most of them aren't interested in exploring unusual cuisine.

Pici all' Amatriciana.
Roasted onion, bacon, San Marzano tomatoes, and pecorino.

Fully with you on this one!

Made "pastrami" for the sporting event on Sunday night. Here is a picture when pulling off the smoker to go into the steamer:

Your pastas always look amazing!

Is the pasta itself homemade as well? I use KA attachment sometimes, but that only gets me flat pastas.

Ribs for the big game yesterday

 

[cpa4ny]

Veracruz-style baked red snapper.

Sauce is stir-fried first. Amazing flavors - big green olives, capers, marinated jalapenos, cherry tomatoes, onions and garlic (fresh oregano on the left side of the frying pan is waiting to be stirred in).

One of my favorite dishes; I have to have this at least once every couple of weeks.

 

[Temptd2]

My Dad used to make that pescado a la Veracruzana. Boy it was good. I have his recipe - I keep threatening to make it but haven't yet!

The Mrs and I bought our first house two weeks ago, and after 2 weeks of completely demo-ing the place and remodeling we finally have our first home cooked meal. The range has yet to be hooked up (thats tomorrow's chore) so we had everything bbq'd and store bought (potato salad). Tri-tip with grilled veggies and potato salad pair with a 2014 private selection merlot made by one of my clients

Congrats on the new house! You are now officially entered into the ranks of those who own money pits!

Ha! Ya I'm pretty sure they recognize me now at my local home depot.

Thank you!

I usually make my own pasta using the KA attachment also. But this pasta I smuggled back from Italy last year. It's called pici and it is like real thick spaghetti. I've made it before and it is a ton of work! You have to hand roll each noodle so it takes a lot of time.

[Remmy]

Nothing special.
