What did you cook or eat today (April 2023)?

[SandwichShortOfAPicnic]

More mixed than cooked.
Mr SSOAP is always complaining English Mustard is now weak, where‘s the stuff gone that seared off your nostrils if you used more than a dot? So I made some to knock his socks off. Went down a storm, it’s how I remember mustard tasting and it’s HHHHOT
He’s very happy.

45 day dry-aged beef. Sous vide @ 52C for two hours before a sear in a hot pan:

My wife finally reintroduced dairy into her diet, so we celebrated with a nice selection of Vermont Cheddar last night.

Same day, same noodles.

Coquilles St Jacques au Provençal
A lambasted recipe from yesteryear.
I‘ve removed the roes and have recipe for a ‘scallop tarama’ (a type of fresh scallop taramasalata) for them which I need to jump to in a moment
Used Elmlea plant in place of double cream, a really excellent sub for dairy if that stuff gives you grief.

Plant based double cream that behaves like double cream (minus the cow taste), I won’t kid you it’s the same but compared with what else is out there its close and works well.

Parsley, breadcrumb and garlic infused butter

Shallots softened in butter and reducing the white wine.

Packed up and ready to go under the grill.

The Final Cut

A rich dish. Possibly not the wisest lunch before a curry for dinner but hey in for a penny in for a pound

Can you guess what I had and where?

 

[Windigo]

Went to a buffet restaurant we heard a lot of good about, but we thought it was OK and not more than that .Won't go to a buffet again methinks.

Gorgeous entryway!

I loved the sesame-mochi red bean ball, that was new to me. The crab was unbreakable

The seasoned the otherwise great cooked salmon with cumin!! ugh that was bad.

Lunch

 

[Puggles]

10 hour smoked brisket with pecan wood.
Omg guys...... Omg.
I also made a homemade Carolina style BBQ sauce that pairs PERFECTLY with it. Sweet, hot and sharp.

 

[TastyReuben]

Takeout:

Pepperjack cheese bites (with ranch, not the marinara I ordered)

Re-crisping MrsT’s reuben after it steamed itself soggy on the ride home.

My favorite all time sandwich.

 

[detroitdad]

Pork chops on a jalapeno mango salsa, arugula salad with goat cheese, raspberries and a lemon and oil dressing. The citrus marinade for the chops was awesome.

My favorite all time sandwich.

Same for MrsT. I’m not sure I’ve ever tasted one!
