Dinner thread...What's cooking...

[drjeff]

more expensive, but huge difference in Bell & Evans birds if you haven't tried them before

Thanks DHS, I'll keep an eye out for them (atleast for my wife and I as my kids really could care less about the taste as long as they hear "chicken" )

...no problem. I typically don't promote products of competitors, but ours is not readily available in stores; mainly just restaurants. Bell and Evans is far and away the best commodity chicken out there that is readily available.

...so I guess when it comes to fish, tilappia is out of the question for you?

Actually, tilapia poached in soy sauce and sesame oil that seasoned with ginger and scallions is a favorite of mine.

They eat ticks??

no, they eat what comes out of our butts. Many domestic tilapia farms these days are integrated into an aquaculture system to clean waste water.

Great. I scratched off seafood from Asia a coupla years ago for a variety of reasons, now I gotta hear this, lol.

I got rainbow trout on deck for dinner tonite, pan seared, and a veg medley. I started making gazpacho yesterday, but had some fresh corn from last winter in the freezer I wanted to use up, so I ended up creating my own version of tortilla soup. It doesn't suck, and it's much better than I thought. Eating a bowl right now.

ahhhh....bottom-feeding scavangers, a la catfish and carp.....

Biggest fresh water fish I ever caught were the carp in the Kanahwa (sp?) River right near the sewerage treatment plant in Charleston, WV....never even considered eating them

uke: That's a little more gross than the doctor fish I saw on the news last night that are being used for pedicures somewhere in Virginia (I believe). They like to eat dead skin. But I don't think anyone is eating these tiny fish afterwards either.

Glad I don't eat fish...

I saw that same story too last night I give it to the end of the year until there's a salon in West Hartford Center offering up the same treatment

You figure though that anytime you eat fish, no matter what kind they are, they've been spending their entire lives swimming around in fish pee and poop! :idea:

Doing an Asian duck plate tonight

searing off some breasts, stir fry some vegetables and rice that will also have duck eggs incorporated instead of regular eggs and a bit of pancetta.

...probably my best effort in a few weeks. it ruled


Not an hour after I finished did I start to carve up five pounds of Kobe Tri Tip. Aside from trying true A-5 jap Kobe NY strip, there is no meat I have ever worked with that has such incredible marbling....65% white, 35% pink. I seared a little bit to taste and it was sinfully good. Total yield out of the five pounds was about 3.5 lbs; good enough for 7 portions. Looking forward to hosting some guests this weekend to indulge on this incredible meat.

tomorrow will be buffalo though......my fridge is money right now. I love it.

I want to eat at your houses!!!!!!!!!! ::drool::

man, I can't wait to live in a place where I can have a smoker. The first thing i'll do is buy a pork belly and make my own bacon. Tecnically I'm not even supposed to have a gas grill as the condo association rules prohibit them. screw that. I can have a charcoal grill, but disposing of the ashes would be a PITA. Apparently its the town fire department who made the recommendation. I think it's a BS rule and don't pay attention, well until I get a ticket someday, lol. I would have a smoker now if my deck was big enough.

 

[severine]

Tonight... looking like it may be Cheddarwurst, potatoes, and some veg.

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Tonight I'm going to my Aunt and Uncles house for dinner...I have no idea what is on the menu but I can't complain about a free meal..I'll be perfectly happy with some steeze and crackers and a hot dog..along with a cold mixed drink or some beer.
