My FIL has been dropping hens off by the shopping bag full. Roasted a bunch the other night with butternut squash from the garden, onion, and garlic seasoned with thyme, salt and pepper. Following night made sautéed hen with tortellinis and pesto. (Trying to post photo but says I don’t have permission to view. Not been problem in the past. I give up.)
Have another couple of pounds and need to figure out a gameplan.

Thx Hoppy!
We had a long stretch of cold wet weather and the mushrooms went crazy. I don't get much sun on my property so instead of a garden I've tried innocullating logs to grow mushrooms. Failed. It's like you have to let nature take it's course. The chipmunks seem to like the other wild mushrooms but not the hens. I might give it another try now that I know where they like to grow

I love potato pancakes! I was in Watkins Glen,NY last weekend and a Ukrainian lady open a resaraunt serving homemade pierogi, kielbasa, and golumpki. On the sign outside is said potato pancakes tonight. Even though we just ate we went in. She had just sold out. Went back the next night and she didn’t make any that day. But I got some pierogi and golumpki to take back to the camper. Sooooo good! I need to take another stab at potato pancakes. My first attempt was not so good.
I love to cook Indian! Saag Paneer was my first foray into cheesemaking! I have not done any Indian in the IP so far other than the Goan Vindaloo recipe I adapted and a Chicken Chettinad. The vindaloo was great, the chicken not so much. I'll have a go at the chicken saag soon!
I haven't done too many IP either but the ones I've done I love. I've done vindaloo and Tikka masala. Haven't moved on because it was so good.
I'm on the other end of the spectrum from you. I love chili but haven't tried it in the IP.
The other main dish I do is seafood stock. I use to have tons of lobster shells in the fridge but with the IP it only takes 1hr to make a healthy lobster bisque. So i shuck first and then while you're eating there's this amazing aroma going on to finish your meal with a soup and you stop yourself from taking up space in the freezer.
I substitute lobster shells here for shrimp. As much shells that can fit in the pot. Usually 3 lobsters for my 6qt and I roast them quickly in the oven for added flavor before ip

Here's an excellent recipe I make for either beef or lamb. I just made this on Sunday with some leg of lamb I had cut up into cubes for kabobs. Stew beef works well also.
CALCUTTA BEEF/LAMB CURRY
Ingredients:
(1) Cut the stew beef into 1/ 2 inch cubes trimming off any excess fat
(2) Heat oil in a sauce pan, sauté the onions until soft and translucent, add garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes
(3) Add the coriander, cumin, turmeric, ginger, black pepper, salt, garam masala, and dried red chilies (if you are going to use them) to the onions and garlic and stirring to coat, cook for 2 – 3 minutes
(4) Add the lemon juice and the beef/lamb to the pan and stir to coat with the spice – onion garlic mixture, cook for 3 – 4 minutes
(5) Add the beef stock, water, and shredded coconut to the pan, bring to a boil
(6) Reduce to medium low heat and simmer until the meat is tender about 1 hour or more if necessary
(7) Serve over rice

Emeril has a herb latke recipe that has salmon with apple butter and apple cider on top. The whole recipe is good but those herb latkes are tasty. Ill try to find it.

I'd recommend it. It's kind of like a meatier portabello mushroom that won't get mushy. I hope to make a mushroom gravy and steak this weekend.

Well these potato puffs were from last night. Followed Chef John's recipe (see link below) and added faux Gruyere cheese which is shredded Swiss cheese marinated in a little white wine. They came out fantastic!

Not edible but my daughter and I cooked up a spider. Can't wait to paint. The skeleton necklace came out great but I need non-toxic varnish.
A good cigar, an oak casked Malbec that turned out to be an amazing value for $8, and 1 year old store bought Gouda. Hell, no wonder I like to cook so much!!
Big Meat browning in the Instant Pot, a garlic and tomato paste roux in the pot after the meat came out, wine reduction, the all the veggies go in, meat on top, onions stuck where they will fit, and not 1:15 under pressure.
Life is good!

Thai green curry....
Someone asked for the recipe awhile ago, here it is.
~1.5 cups sliced lemon grass
20 garlic cloves
1-2 serrano
1 bunch cilantro
1 big bunch Thai basil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons galangal powder
2 teaspoons sea salt
1/4 cup palm sugar
1/2 cup tamari
2 cans of coconut milk
Steep the lemon grass in a quart of boiling water for 20 minutes. Strain to remove the lemon grass and toss everything (except for one of the cans of coconut milk) into the vitamix and blend the hell out of it. It will start out brown but then turn pea green. (If you use regular basil it may be a brighter green, but the flavor is better with Thai basil)
Strain into a big pot to separate out all of the solids and add another can of coconut milk.
Bring to a boil and add whatever meat/veggies you want.
Serve over rice or rice noodles, and garnish with shredded carrot, cilantro, bean sprouts, and Sriracha.

Its just so beautiful, kinda brings a tear to my eye. I don't have my pressure cooker right now, on loan to my sister-in-law. She can hardly make toast in a toaster. She can barely make microwave popcorn. She struggles to make cup-noodles.
Her kid needs food that isn't processed. Its on loan for a good cause.
