Supper

[maison rustique]

I've only heard of them--never seen anywhere.

[small h]

Aquabest has them pretty regularly, but I think they're from the west coast.

I've had them in Chinese restaurants in NYC.

[Sneakeater]

I've had them in my apartment!  YUM!  (And you hardly have to DO anything to them!)

I think from Washington state, not around here.

Very possible. I should make it a point to ask next time I'm there.

My back was shot today, so husband manned the stove.   -> Philly cheesesteaks.     Perfect.    Several orders of magnitude better than Pat's and a couple of others in Philly.

I was going to photograph my At the Wallace cheeseburger (make it a double) transferred to my low carb bun but I ate it and forgot. Next time.

As a tribute to Dave Myers of Hairy Bikers fame, who passed away a few days ago from cancer, N is making the potato-topped spicy bean hot pot from The Hairy Bikers' Perfect Pies. It uses a combination of kidney and cannelini beans, so she's using RG Domingo Rojos and Marcellas.  A warming meal for today and the next few cold rainy days.

My daughter showed up with lunch this afternoon. Since I start my day a little earlier than her, I had already eaten lunch. So this was dinner and it was about a third of the mountain of chicharrones from a cuchifrito counter in the Bronx. I have two more suppers like this in the freezer now. #porkfat

Pizza! is always a good idea. Joe Beddia dough recipe, one marinara with mozz, asiago and parm, and a fresh tomato, mozz and mushroom.

First night cooking at home in almost a week!

Mise.

Stir-fried pork with asparagus, carrots and onions, in a  Cantonese style.

[StephanieL]

Tonight's dinner will be quiche, featuring broccoli, cauliflower, and Egyptian walking onions from our garden. We'll probably have a side salad with lettuces and such from the garden too.

[Diancecht]

guajillo braised beef short rib tacos, with lazy salsa, guajillo chile salsa, cumin-lime crema, pickled onions, iceberg lettuce, radishes and cilantro 

frozen margaritas 

chocolate ice cream 

[Diancecht]

our guests demolished our spread. i guess that means we’ll be doing more tacos in the future. 😍

the short ribs were seared on all sides in canola oil, then oven braised in a sauce consisting of guajillo chiles, chipotle chiles, onion, garlic, water, cumin, salt, pepper, mexican oregano and modelo negra for four hours. i reduced some of the chiles because hubby is sensitive to heat, but i suppose i needn’t have worried.

Husband taste training is very important.

Read this as "waist training" at first. Where is my head???

A friend now regularly gifts food to me. He brought me some red pepper soup he made. I garnished with micro arugula and crumbled bacon. Had it with Wheat Thins and pinot grigio. A warm scone (from a local Irish place) with TJ's cultured butter from Brittany and whipped cream (no clotted cream, so I did my best) was dessert.

N used packaged puff pastry to make a freeform tart with chard (from our garden), feta, and lightly baked eggs.

Staying longer than planned in the country since weather is superb.   Blue sky, no wind, mid-70s.    But ran out of fresh proteins.   So...Spam hash.   Hey, it's really rather good, but then I've never met a hash I didn't like.

[voyager]

Continuing the first world problem rant, supper last night was spam eggs Benedict.    Again, quite acceptable.

 
Currently en route home to a more complete larder.

Meals fit for a Viking.

Coincidentally, we went to see this last week. The boy loved it.

[small h]

Was it last Friday?

 

[bloviatrix]

@small h - missed you by a night. Saw it on Thursday.
