Buying in bulk gives me the capability to make full use of all of it. So there is an economy of scale that you don't get with buying one. Plus, I got these on sale via D'Artagnian. So the price was very agreeable. I also got 4 squabs in my order. If you do it right the price isn't so bad.Quote:

Those potatoes are from my parents garden. The wife acquired them yesterday.

Well gents.
I very rarely if ever endeavour to cook asian food. But today I decided I was going to risk it.
http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...dc556afdde.jpg
Beef Tataki, a citrus soy, soy and sweet chilli. Also some onion rings (ok not so Asian)
Sticky rice with corriander. Stir fried shrooms with some chilli lemongrass shallots and something called galangal. Which is apparently related to ginger and smells a bit like parsnip.
We weren't sure about it but glad we gave it a go.

Incidentally when ibsay we weren't sure. That was when planning. The actual meal was awesome.

Tonight we decided to go for soup. Chicken noodle soup. Recipe from an Asian cookbook found on the shelf.

That looks good. Almost soup season indeed.

But not tonight. ;)
Steak, spuds, grilled peppers, cheesy bread, and green beans. While bbqing is still a pleasure.
Cheers.
That looks awesome 😃

Now there's a meal! Nothing like filling up on meat and potatoes. Add in the veggies and bread, that's good eatin'.
Well tonight it's leftover red beans and rice BUT yesterday for my youngest daughter's belated birthday celebration it was boneless skinless chicken thighs cut in half and rolled in finely minced fresh garlic, rosemary and some fresh cracked black pepper then wrapped in thin cut bacon and finished on the BBQ. The sides were fresh asparagus tossed in extra virgin olive oil with of the seasoning 'salt' and grilled on the BBQ. The potato salad was made with steamed Yukon gold spuds and the last of my Walla Walla Sweet onions. Dessert was homemade carrot cake with homemade buttercream frosting and some homemade vanilla ice cream.

Don't bother asking about pics of the cake and ice cream as I don't know where they went! :banghead:
Nicely done, Chef! Mouth-watering...
Those look decadent Roy!

Thanks my friend (I 'think') I had to look up the word 'Decadent' and there are several different meanings of the word. :w But I'm sure you meant meaning #3 :tuQuote:

Improvising a stir fry with ground pork and red peppers.
Smells amazing! After adding some basmati rice, it filled my tummy.
Attachment 246108
Oh, and it was delicious
That looks tasty! I'd be tempted to throw some cashews in there. Suddenly I'm very hungry
What an excellent idea. I should try that next time.Quote:

That looks good.
I put duck breasts on my bday list.
If just getting the breasts, I recommend the Moulard or Muscovy. Better meat to fat ratio. Pekin ducks have a lot of fat in relation to the meat.Quote:

Had burgers for lunch today so dinner was hot and sour soup with pork. I had some batter left from lunch so made a few onion rings.

Attempt 2 at an improvised stir fry, with ground pork. Did not have cashews, but I tried adding sesame seeds and a bit of walnuts.
Turned out quite well. But I gots to get me some cashews...

Well I took the pic night before last but forgot to upload and post but here's what was supper on Tuesday/Seafood Soup with clams, bay scallops, shrimp and cod in tomato/chicken broth along with some spices and parsley.
OH! The lone opened clam was one of 4 so I could put one in each bowl/the grandkids were Very Impressed!

Attempt #3 at an improvised stir fry, with ground pork. The following are in a supporting role: garlic, onion, cashews, red pepper, sesame seeds, salt, and black pepper.
A nice portion of brown sticky rice will round it out. Should make three lunches.
Yum!
