Indian-Style Mustard Greens with spiced ground pork on Naan or Pita
So I halved this recipe, and then had to half it again as I pour out the greens and I did it to fast and a good chunk of them ended up in the sink and not in the strainer. I was a bit frustrated, but rolled with it. The combination with this and the madrass curry powder infused pork topped with a bit of yogurt, was a good meal. Spicy, but not to so, and a nice mouth full of flavors to ponder on.
Seared Mahi Mahi sandwiches
The fish was still a bit cold, but I was set and moving forward with the fish sandwiches I made a quick tarter like sauce, and about that quick the dinner was done. Two more portions of fish to go, next time around must pay better attention where the fish is coming from and be a good customer. The fish was, perhaps a little over, probably because it started out cold, but still was ok.
Big Fork Maple & Brown Sugar bacon sausages
pretty good, eaten.
Pork Chops (Crooked Gap) with mashed potatoes and chives (I want to get the mashed potatoes right)
After the, I'm still dwelling on them, sub-par mashed potatoes, I was truly happy with the combination of sour cream, milk, butter, salt and pepper that made these mashed potatoes truly fantastic. The chives were cut from the plant on the side of the house less then an hour before they were eaten. Good stuffs. Very happy. I have no idea what the ratios were because I just do it until it feels right and the potatoes were just right too.
The pork chop was very good too. I timed it better, allowing me enough time to make the mashed potatoes, while the pork chops finished in the oven.
Grass Fed Beef Burgers (Coyote Run Farms)
Simple, made before Joseph and I headed over to see They Might Be Giants . I added salt and pepper to the beef before I put them in the pan, and it added a nice flavor to it. I served this with Adrahan, which turned out quite well.
Random Chicken Pieces Tacos (a couple of deboned thighs, bone in thighs, and bone in chicken breast)
So when I say random, I mean truly random. The bone in thighs were already salted and peppered, the chicken breast and the boneless thighs were not. It was odd to cook, taking the temperature more frequently then I normally would as I slowly took out pieces as the finished. The boneless thighs were done first and the rest finished about the same time. After taking the chicken off the bones, normal taco toppings proceeded.
So normal has grown to include Milton Creamery's Quark, which I cannot recommend enough. Thanks again to Brett at the Cheese Shop for the recommendation.
