What did I cook this weekend.....

[S-Met]

Not to be argumentative but I believe those are shiso leaves - wasabi leaves are more roundy than that, shiso leaves have all the little sharp points to them.

WHATEVER you call them - that entire lot looks absolutely lusciously delicious!

Correct on the shiso leaves in the bowl with the oysters. However, if you look at the bowl with a small spoon in the lower left corner next to the oysters, you will see the wasabi-greens mignonette.
I forget the recipe since I made it on the fly, but essentially wasabi-greens, kampot pepper, fresh grated ginger, salt, lemon zest, juice from 1/2 lemon, and sake.

Pork belly cooked in ghee along with some bread and left over purple mashed potatoes. We had these zucchini fritters as an appetizer (zucchini came from neighbor).

Ah!! Gotcha. All I knew were leaves there were the shiso.

We have houseguests this week and one of their choices of places to eat was SushiMan - love me some handrolls and shiso leaf and wasabi! Not sure whether or not to trust raw oysters in the middle of AZ but I guess they fly them in pretty promptly. Might try one night when they look super-fresh.

This.
Seafood used to only be good in coastal areas. Buy your oysters from a reputable source. I bought 2 dozen and they checked each one before bagging. They tossed about 4-5 that didn't seem alive.

Zucchini/Carrot Bread

The grill got a workout today. Hot dogs and cheeseburger sliders on pretzel buns for lunch, then dry rub baby back ribs, served with home made salads.

 

[shelly_belly]

Roasted chicken, spinach, onion, mushroom, cheddar and provolone quesadilla.

 

[TwistedGray]

All sorts of stuff...chicken nachos with homemade squishy beans

Heart shaped bluebery pancakes with some whipped cream I made for hot cocoa (not pictured) which was for dessert.

And we took mister kitty to the oncologist, and I bring them Jamba Juice. Thought this made for a cool shot.

Awww, @TwistedGray - what a nice thing to do! When I worked in medical offices we always loved it when a patient thought of us and brought in Starbucks or some other goodie.

Hope Mr Kitty is doing OK!

I made some jalapeno hot sauce the other day. @Shelly those quesadillas look awesome. I like all the pork belly twisted gray. Do you buy one and just cut off it? @gf, Haha, way out of my league. How does the vinegar taste. Not sure I followed it correctly.

Oh we got some of that Sam's club fajita meat. Man it's pretty good when seared in a little oil. We got it so when camping didn't need to worry about raw meat. Fajita meat (skirt or flank), peppers, onions, basmati rice, avocado, organic sour cream, home made hot sauce and cheese.

Rolled oats with plums

Simple cheese burger night. American cheese with a pile of jalapeños underneath. Butter toasted bun. Pairing it with my strawberry ale. Love it.

She's a really good acquaintance and has saved us thousands in diagnosises of our other animals. All of our animals (now passed) have had some form of cancer and have died from it, and she has always been extremely generous throughout. One of the two remaining animals (both cats) has been there a few times, and we are still not entirely certain what it is. But Everytime I go it's typically Jamba Juice, but I've taken Homebrew, homemade enchiladas, KFC, and whatever else they may want.

The only meal I cooked today, dinner was 7/4 leftovers.

Cut, vac pack, and freeze. I buy a pretty hefty chunk each time to save the back and forth

Cherry smoked the rock cod for an hour then basted in lemon, caper, butter sauce. Retained mushroom water from yesterday's meal and sub'd for water in the rice. Also added diced up shrooms. And asparagus.

Dessert - lady fingers with fresh lemon juice on them, handful of blueberries, fresh whip cream and a splash of Homebrew (boc2019)
