My SIL is Chinese. She was born and raised in China. Its all she knows how to cook. I love going over to my brothers for dinner.
Lin is pretty good. Her dad is really good, he visits a couple times a year. I got my own Hot Pot, pretty easy to do and comes out great. Image Unavailable, Please Login

Did their bacon cheddar burger and poutine. I'm surprised with American's love of cheese, a dish like poutine doesn't exist there. Its awesome! Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
No posts today, odd! I'm still full from lunch. Made a tuna melt and Tomato soup. I might get sashimi and an order of chopped scallop rolls, later. Might skip dinner.
Pandemic shutdown over. No one cooking at home anymore! Image Unavailable, Please Login Burgers on the gasser last night. Those are Costco Angus burgers. Not bad. Image Unavailable, Please Login Brisket tacos tonight. Leftover brisket - pecan wood smoked. Red onions. Homemade guacamole. Sour cream. T
Costco meat prices and quality ate hard to beat IMO. Only for specialty tests like wagyu will be mail order. Shutdown is long forgotten here it seems. Took a drive today and restaurants seem busy. T
Beans, rice, some veggies and ground meat Burrito bowl! Never did this at home because I love tortillas. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
We are trying to find the best take-out food to try to enjoy before getting out of here. Luckily for us, a very, very good Indian place was doing take-away; Kanishka. Its a northern Indian place, but taken to a foody level with superior ingredients and careful cooking. So, not our usual thing for Indian, where we typically seek out grungy, authentic, street-level Indian food. This is more refined. But...wow... There is a bit of story to this restaurant. The chef, Atul Kochhar, is considered one of the best chef's of any style in the UK (he was the second ever Indian chef to earn a michelin star back in 2007). Normally his restaurant serves "Michelin" style Indian...and thus we have avoided it. However, in a creative change-up due to covid, he has re-opened for take-out, serving traditional Indian foods (not michelin-y at all), but doing it with great ingredients and great technique. The result is spectacular... We ordered enough for 4 people and enjoyed a dinner last night and just had the leftovers for lunch. This was unreal....so good. How the heck are Indian's thin? Both Ania and I let out several "oh my God's" during the meals. The flavors were so unique, powerful and complex. There is no other food in the world that hits the highs of great Indian imho. The so-called "black lentils" were cooked in a rich, tangy, creamy sauce of spices and (I think) coconut milk (those are the lentils in the bowl in the last pic...lookit that sauce!). It was one of the best things I've ever eaten. Similarly, the Lamb Roganjosh was the best I've ever had (and I've had many). Even the chutney's were outstanding. What food. Still can't get over how great it was. We will get this again before we leave... (also, somewhat surprisingly, the white burgundy from Meursault stood up to the food very well) Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Costco here has a decent meat department, but for grocery store steaks, the co op store here is better...…….. I've been meaning to try Indian food. My old town and the neighboring town to mine, both have large South Asian populations. I'm sure it would be good and authentic.
Gonna go to the well once more. Two more pork rib chops from Debragga. Same process as above. Image Unavailable, Please Login Fresh cracked salt (pink Himalayan) and pepper. Image Unavailable, Please Login Just about ready to move to the indirect side. Image Unavailable, Please Login Something I have not done in a while. Homemade heat and sweet dipping sauce. 5 or so dried red jalapeños. From garden last year, dried them once the growing season ended. Reconstituted in hot water, add a can of cling peaches, blitz with a stick blender, reduce over low heat. Wasn't too over the top in seed / membrane removal. So, it's got a nice kick beneath the sweet. T
Got some more bread rising the oven overnight for some more no kneed roasted garlic and rosemary bread. I think this one will rise better than the last.

Details/link on this "no knead" bread. Plus I have rosemary and garlic in the garden. I hate kneading! T Edit - something like this, Jason? https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/11376-no-knead-bread
This is the one I follow, but they're all about the same. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.thekitchn.com/roasted-garlic-herb-no-knead-bread-22987118?amp=1 The thing I did differently this time was make sure the water was between 115-120. That new thermometer is really coming in handy. It says 6-8 hours to let rise but you can let it go for longer than that. The last time it tasted fantastic.
Home made falafals. Gotta get a better mixer to grind though. Made some steak incase I messed up the falafel. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Tired. Ordered out, spent the day varmint proofing the chicken coop and run. My dad used to make the Italian version, with pancetta, rosemary and desfrito. But just like making bacala, the preliminay preparation overwhelms the house, in this case my wife says "like barnyard." Which.....I don't understand the complaints, we have 9 horses, I don't even know how many cows& bulls, 7 dogs, 7 chickens and who knows what else......
