Last night's rack of lamb dinner - with baby Swiss chard and sweet potato wedges. THOUGHT it was Easter, hence the lamb - dang it, guess we have to have rack of lamb again THIS Sunday when it's REALLY Easter! LOL!
What did I cook this weekend.....

Easter for eating rabbit, not lamb.
If I could find one, I'd eat it - I love rabbit! 
Every year, the Saturday before Easter, my Dad would get home from work and tell us he had run over the Easter bunny on his way home. LOL!!
He also ran over Santa every Christmas eve.
I miss my Dad.

I had rack of lamb yesterday as well, but out at a steakhouse. Yours looks delicious.
Roasted Marinated Sweet Onions
Man, these are to die for. Red wine vinegar, brown sugar butter, lots of rosemary. Somebody else make them. You need to marinate overnight, but otherwise it's about 5 minutes of prep, overnight marinating, 1 hour in oven. https://keviniscooking.com/roasted-onions/

Those look excellent! Sadly I'm sure they are FAR from being within my daily carb allotment! I can almost smell them though....

Butter/rosemary basted pork chops, wilted spinach with roasted garlic, brown rice and quinoa, caesar salad and, of course, beer to wash it down
A happy breakfast

I love this old grill. It cooks so well. Pecan in the smoker box. You can see it coming out from unda. Big cuts of tillamook on each and buttered toasted bun. They were really good.

In some small towns in Mexico you can still find the spice man. This spicy mole mix is from a small town in Michoaca...in comes in a Ziploc bag, fancy.
Crush spices, mix with chicken broth, shred chicken, walla
Meanwhile, start on tortillas

Dessert, kiwi and raspberry popsicle

Great white northern and canary bean chili. I used some turkey necks for the stock and leftover rotisserie chicken leg quarters.
It looks so innocent and mild.
Then you bowl it and it just screams to be eaten. I wont hurt you a bit. You can trust me.
So you dress that sucker up with a little cheese, cheeps and homemade ghost sauce and BAM.....Yeah, you get the picture.

First time ever trying my hand at Chinese(ish) food. Pork marinated in soy-mirin-garlic marinade for four days, carrots cucumber orange paprika and yellow&spring onions wokked with fried rice.
My wife hates Chinese and both my kids hate anything new or weird, specially anything "slimy" so was fully prepared to eat this alone for days, ended up having to hold my own to get ANY
Future notes, less yellow onion, more spring onion, cut carrot slimmer, don't wok the cucumber, more mirin, and FFS get a wok pan
ended up making a biblical mess on the stovetop!One of the "tricks" the Chinese use when doing pork like that is .....cornstarch. You mix it with the marinating meat a few minutes before cooking it. Then stir fry in a really freaking hot wok.
Mirin works for some stuff especially Korean dishes with pork. For Chinese its hard to beat good Chinese cooking wine. If the marinade calls for both sugar and rice wine....Yeah mirin will work. I get Lotte brand from Korea...its over 14% ABV. Pretty good and cheap.

I pretty much used what I could get from the local grocery stores small town so not a whole lot of options, came out quite ok but surely left room for improvement.

The really freaking hot wok is the hard part in a home kitchen. Rather challenging to master also.

Yep, it's hard to capture that "wok hei" ('breath of the wok') at home.
When I really want to, I fire up my 55,000btu beer making burner....

My second wife was Chinese and her mother and I use to cook together a lot. She taught me several dishes that were passed down through her family. Get a wok and remember " hot wok, cold oil, food no stick". Also, as food is done move it to the outside of the wok. I rode a Harley until a SUV ran over me back in 2011. Ride safe brother.
Heh yea went to a local hardware store to get a wok pan, saw the selection and went yeeeeea not gonna pay 50+eur for THAT... Got a gas "paella burner" for beer brewing so could use that for heat too. As said first try so didn't expect a total success but quite edible still. 900 Benelli Tornado TRE here, one of three in the country. Hope you've recovered fully, gotta watch dem SUV:s, stay out of the blind spots and always ride like you're invisible. Been a transport entrepreneur for the past ten years so basically live on the road if I'm not in the garage brewing or wrenching. Ok back to food stuff now.
Kielbasa with potato and onion pirogies topped off with caramelized onion. Not pictured fresh green beans.

Tacos al Pastor
I got this one on Amazon about 2 years ago, love it - AND just found out it works great on my induction burner, which gets it pretty damn hot!

Step 2 - bacon, cause what lasagna recipes don’t have bacon?? Lol
Awesome! I just love eggs Benedict!
This is the bacon picture, and the everything in the pool picture before it went in the oven to braise a couple of hours ago. For such a simple recipe the braise just smells phenomenal! It’s the browned short ribs, crisped bacon, sautéed mirepoix with garlic, a little tomato paste, and some rosemary. But OMG it smells amazing!

I whipped up some ham and cheese calzones for lunch. They were super good.
I hope you have some leftovers for Dyngus Day tomorrow! That looks great!
I love calzones!!

Local catfish with Cajun creamy mushroom sauce and roasted onion.. the onion was inspired by somebody in this thread. Didn’t feel like going back to find the recipe, but did soy, balsamic, Dijon,salt and white pepper.
