.
Bob Blumer's Coffee Crispee Creme Brulee before sugar crust.
.
..
What to do with 2 dozen egg whites after creme brulee?
Make egg white, sweet pepper, chili pepper, onion, fresh curry leaves,
curry powder eggs, ground beef chili on a toasted "everything bagel"!
OH MY! Oh, Oh MY MYYYYY!
Bill said we need to trademark this brunch!
.
..
Mango Curry Chicken with Coconut and Curry Leaves.
Sides: cauliflower rice, boiled carrots.
Lovely mix of sweet mango, spicy curry, Thai chilis, coconut flakes,
curry leaves.
.
..
Stir-fried Shanghai bok choy with Basa fillet
(marinated with salt, pepper, Chinese cooking wine, oil, soy sauce,
and cornstarch)
.
..
Bill's Not-a-salad salad: romaine lettuce, radish, cooked carrot,
hard-boiled egg (whites only), mini cukes, strawberries, fresh pineapple,
blueberries.
and the usual mango chipotle dressing and fresh mint leaves.
I wish I had one of those gadgets that is used to make boiled eggs out of the shell.
Not sure if I actually saw those or dreamed about them!
Have used most of the egg whites from the brulee for omelets.
.
..
REALLY GOOD!
The basmati rice also had the same ingredients but cooked with coconut
milk.
Coconut milk was added at the end to the short ribs.
.
..
Curry chicken in Puff Pastry.
.
..
Ssssssssshhhhhh Kebab night!
Chicken breasts marinated in Greek Feta dressing,
pork rib "tails" with Cajun seasoning, sweet bell peppers, red onion,
new potatoes...
All yummy - eaten outside sans mosquitoes!
[Turned the Thermacell on 15 minutes before supper, and the mosquitoes
all left:-)]
.
..
Spicy Hunan Cumin Beef, Roasted cauliflower steaks, rice...YUM!
Love the cumin.
The recipe just called for cumin powder,
but I toasted cumin seeds in the oil before I added the meat.
The seeds were scattered through out the meat
and gave such an intense bit of flavour when I chewed them.
.
..
Nice wet version of cumin beef.
With lamb, it's better "dry" style.
.
..
Had Malaysian Meatball Curry that I made up yesterday.
Flavours really intensified with the dish allowed to sit in the fridge
for a day!
Sides were seared tofu, roasted carrots and cauliflower
with garam masala, and lots of fresh mint.
.
..
Bill's toasted cheese bun stuffed with jalapeno cheddar smokie sausage,
Sweet and Spicy mustard and ketsup.
Eaten with hasselback potato, steamed corn,
nd a small dish of broco/blueberry slaw.
I slapped sliced smokies on the pan with the olive oil.
When they were done, I added the cheese bun halves.
No sense wasting all thatoil from the taters and the smokies.
Bill said it was good :-)
.
..
Hasselback potato dusted with Sla Ya Mama seasoning and olive oil.
These would be even better dusted with cornstarch and spices
then deep fried... like the onion flower....
.
..
My smokie dog in toasted panini bun,
loaded with red onion, tomato, pickle and ketsup..
.
..
And...a loaded bit!!!
.
..
Fun See (mung bean noodles / glass noodles)
stir-fried with chayote, dried shrimp, and onion.
Seasoned with a little soy sauce and sesame oil.
.
..
Lemongrass Grilled Lamb Banh Mi
with mint sauce, sweet potato fries and daikon-carrot pickle.
.
.
.
Lamb Banh Mi two!
May be called Tonkatsu, which is Japanese for any meat breaded, pan
fried.
These were one inch thick boneless pork chops, breaded with cracker
meal,
browned in a pan then finished off in the oven - moist and crusty.
Eaten with tonkatsu sauce, rice, green beans, cream corn, and apple
sauce.
Had to grab another bag of meat from the freezer at 6:30,
after I had a fabulous massage down at Reactive Massage clinic.
Ja was on his own, so he came and had supper and great visit with us.
The chops were tender, moist... IOW - yummy!
What makes any breading I do different is the breading itself...
NOT bread crumbs or Panko, but "cracker meal" that we used in our restaurant...
always crispy, never soggy.
.
..
We used to pick Saskatoon berries south of our Strathclair house
but must have been killed off by sprays.
There were some at Salt Lake as well,
but I lost the diamond from my engagement ring there :-(
Poor Bill had to shell put for another ring; -)
Funny... I don't like the seeds in saskatoons or raspberries.
That's why they are Bill's and not my favourite berries :-)
.
.
In the States, Saskatoons are sometimes called serviceberries...
I didn't make good pastry until I found this recipe using the food
processor!
Now, it turns out every time:-)
Mine is a 7-cup Cuisinart the kids gave me for my birthday.
It also came with a mini and it's great for making pastes for curry,
etc
MMmmmmm...Mine with vanilla bean ice cream while the pie is still warm.
