No I like skin. While spatchcocking the bird the skin tore and pulled up during cooking. It still rendered ok

Such discipline. Steak looks great. How’d you make it?

BLT - because we are finally getting summer weather in San Francisco.

My BF told me he was making seafood korma tonight. What he REALLY did was buy the ingredients so I could cook them when I got out of work. He got some good stuff. Some scallops, shrimp, and a lobster. What a treat and surprise!

Hope you feel better soon, @PHREDDY! (I’ll prescribe my usual PSTOT… turmeric, with honey to make it go down easier, and some ghee or butter plus a cracking of pepper).

Impromptu dinner with friends in their backyard. Gorgeous weather.

I stopped by for a viewing of Jupiter and its moons courtesy amateur astronomers en route… mind blown.

Snacks - refried bean tikkis (patties) and dhokla (steamed lentil cakes) plus green chutney and Calabrian chile sauce all courtesy me, plus ordered-in meze.

Dinner was more Lebanese from a neighborhood place - paper-thin flatbreads, pilaf, grilled chicken two ways, lamb, salads, and sauces.

Way too much (great) wine per head… a few magnums, plus some bottles to top us off.

So much fun, a great Friday night all in all!

It’s like Chinese style porridge. I don’t use Thai Jasmine rice for porridge - people in Singapore use that in general. Mine is Japanese rice, way more expensive than Thai rice. A 2kg packet could cost anything around US16-29.

Lots of water with the rice and once the grains and water start to boil, I threw in the meat and stirred. All done in 10 minutes. Lazy meal to go to when I don’t feel like doing lots of cutting and washing.

Yellow is the egg. It’s added after everything’s cooked. Then you mix the hot porridge to “cook” the egg. Alternatively you could use chicken stock or dashi to cook your porridge. Would definitely taste better.

Thanks @thwysg. I thought I saw a few bits of egg, but you blend it so well it looks like butter.

Nice! What’s the sauce under the shrooms?


Not dinner but something to eat from a hair salon in Turkey.
