What's for Dinner part 8.


Recommended Posts

Trying something new. Curious how it will turn out. I blended four different hot peppers until they were completely minced, then mixed them with soy sauce, honey, olive oil and minced garlic. Splashed in some lime juice as well then took two chicken breasts and am currently marinating them in it. They go on the grill in an hour or so for fajitas.

Korean style potatoes with sesame, honey and garlic.

Yes, bought a giant bag of potatoes (7.5 kg) and I am relieved that I am pretty much done with it. Yes, it's been a long ten days, and I am just happy to be done with it.

Ribs, for sure. And I baked a double-chocolate carrot cake with mocha flavored mascarpone icing. Three of us usually celebrate our birthdays together (15th, 16th and 17th of September). One will be at dinner, the other is a civil engineer who called up his old bosses in the Bahamas and asked if they needed him after the hurricane two years ago. He’s been in Marsh Harbour on Abaco rebuilding infrastructure ever since. He’ll join us on Zoom or FaceTime or something when the cake comes out.

Gonna try to cook some Dal Tadka with rice as a side dish.

Receipe doesn't look too challenging, so that should work out fine. Decent vegan dish. Too bad the red lentils I still had are way past the point, where I'd try them. So, that's another item on the shopping list.

Just finished a meal with Kimchi - and some other side ingredients. I'm infatuated with Kimchi and can't get enough of it. After discovering that my local store sells imported Korean Kimchi in large tubs that you'd think will last months, I've found that one barely lasts me a couple weeks. I'm having it with every meal, including breakfast. It matches well with any meat, fish & eggs I have on hand. My fondness for Sauerkraut is still strong, but I felt guilty as sin when I saw some on special in the store... and averted my eyes, walked past it to go check if the Kimchi happened to be on special too (it wasn't but I bought the Kimchi anyway). Culinary affairs are a bitch!

Have you tried making it?  It's a blast!

No I haven't, it had never crossed my mind, but I've just looked up several recipes and the simplest ones appear really easy to make. Now I'm intrigued, I have everything needed to start making some except for fresh cabbage, chili powder and a suitable container.

Picked up a 10kg bag of potatoes on monday. So something with potatoes.

Tomorrow something with potatoes.

The day after tomorrow something with potatoes.

The day after, something potatoes.

The day after, you get the idea.

Why do I keep doing this to myself, apart from the fact, that it was too cheap to pass by.

If you eat 5kg of potatoes a day, you'll be done with them in just 2 days and ready for a sack of something else!

If you eat 9kg of potatoes a day you'll be done with them in barely 24 hours, and in fact you may be hungry after your paltry 1kg potatoes breakfast.  Better to probably just buy 25-35 kg at a time.

Solid advice for any potatoers out there. Don't be caught short.

Going to have haggis for the first time in forty years at the weekend.

I'm thinking baked not boiled, served with assorted, crisp green veggies, parmentier potatoes, and some kind of gravy.

I hated haggis as a child, but now my palate has matured I am really looking forward to it. Om nom nom.

 

I remember backpacking in Scotland in about 2008, I was in Edinburgh and went into a cafe and said "you know what, f**k it, I'm gonna order a full Scottish breakfast!" Eggs, haggis, you name it.

One of the best things I ever did.

I stopped eating meat etc a couple of years back. But I had some family down from Scotland in the summer and they brought me some top quality haggis. Felt rude not to scoff it.

I basically had to be force fed this stuff when I was a bairn, but OMG, it was delicious!
