So many amazing dinners! We went to a ball game (the babe’s first) and had the requisite hot dogs/sausages and pretzel with cheese dip.

I missed my burger since I was diagnosed with alpha gal October last year.
Bought some chicken breast which I grind myself since I could ntot find Smithfield ground chicken. Have in mind to make shrimp and lobster sauce, using ground chicken instead of ground pork which is taboo for me
I hope it will turn up find as I could not find Smithfield ground chicken
if it does, I will make chicken burgers soon.
Thanks

My mom makes something similar. I love it! She also sometimes serves it with a salad of grapes, celery, mayo and walnuts. It sounds a little weird typing it out but it is so refreshing on top of warm salmon.

Yup. The PSTOB. :heart_eyes:

So interesting. Total seafood lover, but hardly think of it in ramen. Must try! You seem pretty knowledgeable about these dishes. Do you use a recipe or wing it?

Spanish dinner last night at our new spanish food court.

Pan con tomate, txistorra (chorizo wrapped with potato), tortilla, and paella.

Oh and a version of the famous el bulli liquid olives.

Thanks @meatn3! I do a salmon bake with wasabi mayo. Definitely trying this one. It seems really good and crazy simple.

oh my, that all looks wonderful! how were the liquid olives?

Just wondering if they do any other Basque things? I’m guessing they have a leaning that way, giving it the Basque spelling rather than the Castilian chistorra. I had the Navarra version of the sausage last year in a restaurant in Tenerife, fried with Padron peppers.

I’m sure they do, we only ate a couple of things out of the many options.

I’m Korean (hubby is not) so we don’t wear shoes in the house. So if that had happened at my house, you can literally eat off the floors… And the cheese and onions would’ve landed on your bare foot, so depending on how clean your foot is…is there a 3 second rule for food landing on your feet? :shushing_face::hamburger:

Good, but the skins were a bit firmer than the spherified yogurt riff I had a few years ago in India.

Ever since my Korean visit, very impressed by the cleanliness, trying to keep my floor the same way too.

Well thanks.
The broth was inspired by a new ramen place using fish as theme. They had a rich sardine soup with white miso, very delicious. I think they used whole sardine in their broth to add the extra unami, not just heads though.

Most of my noodle dishes, the very first ones, I tried using recipes to get the right ingredients and techniques. Afterwards I adapt that with ingredients I have at hand and the time.

Sorry to hear about your alpha gal diagnosis. Sounds like the name of a female super hero. :superhero: I hope it’s not painful. The glass half full is you won’t worry that your eating too much red meat. :wink: I cook so much ground chicken I should start a thread, haha. I like it way more than dense ground turkey. I keep threatening to get a meat grinding attachment for my rarely used KitchenAid mixer. In the meantime I find this brand at a lot of grocery stores.

You should, I’m quite happy with mine. Although the serious sausage makers here prefer something else.
