^ Nice.
Haven't really been posting much lately. Doesn't mean I haven't been cooking, just a little busy with life. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...9188052f45.png 1 zucchini 1 yellow squash 1 red onion 16 oz white mushrooms (the cheapest ones they have.) 16 oz cherry tomatoes. I've been buying the kumato varietal of late- excellent flavor. Heat oven to 400. Halve the tomatoes. Spray a baking pan with olive oil, and stick the tomatoes in for about 10 minutes. Chop everything else. Parse 2 springs fresh rosemary in the food processor. Add it along with some olive oil and toss. The timer just went off. Dump the oiled veggie mix on top of the tomatoes, and let 'em rock for another 20-30 minutes to taste. Top with shredded asiago. |

Had a salsa throwdown last night. The one of the left included jalapenos roasted in a cast iron pan, the one of the right was a boiled with dried chile de arbols.
Added touch, guacamole with a garlic, pulverized in the molcajete. Everybody won.

Just two for now. Gotta make an appointment with the ball doc to see if we can rescue some viable candidates from the enemy-held side of the bridge I blew up several years ago.
Never thought I'd be doing this shit... Food content: Was up in Boston area for work. Grabbed some rich food at Chelsea Station: https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...e63402e8f3.png Scallops Pork Belly Risotto I forget what beer I had. It was dark and local. |

Anyway, this is the food thread. Wanna know what makes you look like a pleb but tastes like a million bucks? Dried cranberries on soughdough, topped with brie. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...ea58204e25.png I don't have an "after" picture, but basically stick 'em in the toaster oven until the cheese is almost, but not quite, totally melted. Top with ground nutmeg. |

starting 6pm going counter clockwise now: there was goulash that had tons of beer in it some little sausage pie, bbq venison (that was killed by husband a few days prior), I forgot the little fried wrap thing, it was bolgarian or something -- ill have to ask around. potato, rice, had clove and other spices -- I didn't particularly like it. some chicken egg-roll thing (Hong Kong) lamb and rice stuffed grape leaf (NO SALT!) fried chicken some cauliflower dish the curry naan latke, shrimp & chicken egg roll not pictured was a crab soup, and a few other things I forgot. Celebrating my Jew: https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...78eb657a69.png https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...0b910e00ef.png not pictured was donuts for dessert. Table was decorated in the traditional Jewish wrapping paper... |
A quickie:
Thaw 4 tilapia fillets. Mix:
Coat fillets thoroughly, bake at 375° for 15 minutes or so. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...f8c3c826d7.png Prep:
https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...569d8c688a.png Buy a bag or two of shredded cabbage and carrot mixture. Add all of the above (except the ginger) and toss well. In a bowl, mix:
Toss again. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...a9be377058.png Plate. Add roasted, unsalted cashews to the salad, and top the tilapia with pan-scrapings. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...305d0a9ce4.png This one took about an hour start-to-finish, and was oh so good. Both recipes are going in the "save" pile. The mustard sauce wasn't nearly as overwhelming as it sounds, it really let the flavor of the fish come through. Next time, I'd do less dijon, more whole-grain, as I love that crunchiness. |
If you like something strong & warm for those days, search for "bagna cauda". Even more so if you like anchovies and garlic. Perfect combination with boiled potatoes or asparagus

I'm almost wondering if some light, melty cheese would be a welcome substitution for the butter. |
I believe there's a variation using milk or cream, so cheese should be interesting indeed

Thaw 4 tilapia fillets. you wont be disappointed. also if you like salmon: S&P the fish and spread the filets with dijon. then top with a mixture of panko/S&P/lemon zest/oil. my sure-fire way to cook salmon: hot pan of oil, get the bottom started (maybe 4-5 min), oven ~450° 7 minutes, remove and cover pan for 10 minutes. |
At what degree of done are those cook times on salmon? I would like to try that, but like salmon closer to rare.

Amazon seems to have deliberately made replacement of the battery in the second-generation Kindle as difficult as possible.
https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...0e2ade4787.png I broke three of the four side retaining tabs getting this far. Fortunately, the adhesive (which I had to use a hair dryer to melt) will keep it all together when I re-assemble it. Removing the battery itself was a chore and a half. So very much glue... I punctured the case in the process, which caused it to emit some smoke, though it did not catch on fire. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...d4f66c6e42.png This part of the process was conducted on the marble counter top near the sink, with the extinguisher at hand. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...31cae758dc.png I cannot express in words how quickly I carried the old battery (in my deerskin-gloved hands) out of the house and into someone else's trash can about half a block away. Wanna know what I look like running down the street in my pajamas and slippers, in 15° weather and a few inches of snow, carrying a smoking Li-Po battery? Tough shit, you had to be there. This having been said, it was a success, and I got to see something that most Kindle users will probably never witness; the cold-boot screen: https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...bd971e1652.png I'm oddly amused that they put so much effort into creating a boot screen which >99% of customers will never see. Thus commenceth dinner. Slice 2 zucchini (I should have done 3), along with a bunch of green onion and a few springs of basil. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...521643dc0d.png Not shown: one 16 oz carton of grape tomatoes, thirded. Bake the tomatoes at 300° for about 25 minutes. We're going for a "sun dried tomato" vibe. Toss the zucchini and green onions in olive oil, with some fresh chopped rosemary and black pepper. Set aside while we continue. Get three prep dishes. Fill one with flour, one with 2 scrambled eggs, and one with about 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup parmesan, a big shot of paprika, an equally big shot of parsley, some black pepper, and some salt. Third dish: https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...4d710880d0.png Dredge thawed tilapia fillets through flour, then egg, then mix. Stick into olive-oiled baking pans. Withdraw the tomatoes from the oven, mix with the zucchini bowl, and pan that was well: https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...aadea0e5d3.png Up the oven to 400°. Bake the zucchini for about 15 minutes, then add the fish and bake for 10 minutes more. Slice some fresh mozzarella. Put a piece over the fish, and toast for a few minutes. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...1d37bc2e8f.png Top the fish with marinara (I made this yesterday, no photos), top the veg with asiago and the basil from step 1: https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...da1990bcb4.png Yum. |
