thought of my fellow Evergood lovers today as I saw the plant when walking to my car from my office! I’ll post a pic later as I sent the post instead of pressing the button for attachments :-)



CELEBRATION cake. Without caps. I utterly love it. And a small slice is perfectly adequate :-)

More a potato purée rather than mash . Usually drown lots of stuff in mayonnaise 😉 , but above .

Below is mash ..

Mushroom soup

That chilli crab is probably the dish I enjoy most when in Singapore. I'm generally not a huge fan of most bread but that bread they serve to dip in the sauce is really unique, and not sure if I've ever had it before.

Last night - chicken parm with sauteed spinach
Tonight - Butter chicken and cauliflower with rice. Sadly, no naan.

Pork shoulders were on sale yesterday for $0.88/lb. So I splurged and spent $10 on two 6 pounders :). Pulled pork for the Super Bowl! And then again some time...

Trader Joe’s has good naan unless you’re eschewing naan :-)

I missed the discussion on this, but instead of buying 3 buck chuck (which is barely palatable) use white vermouth. Vermouth is just white wine with herbs. It's slightly higher alcohol content, so it lasts a bit longer once opened. Keep it in the fridge and the bottle will last at least a few months.

Don't buy the cheapest vermouth (Gallo or Martini/Rossi), which is about as good as cooking wine. Buy a good vermouth, like Noilly Prat or Dolin.

If you need red wine to cook with, I suppose you could do 3 buck chuck...but a cheap zinfandel is probably better. Bogle Old Vines Zin is usually around $8-10.

I'm not, although I do normally eschew Trader Joe's. That was fun, not a word I use very often :).
Mariano's naan is perfectly fine (and I don't have to stand in line outdoors in 30 degree weather to get in the store like TJ's). I just don't feel like going out to get it. We already had all the other ingredients here at the house.

We have a new Indian restaurant on the other side of town that has been getting good early reviews, so I may have to use my Amex Uber credit this month to get some good garlic naan delivered soon!

Shakshuka - it was more impressive looking before I removed three servings Also roasted cabbage seasoned with lemon juice, garlic powder and red pepper flakeshttps://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ea8f372a9.jpeg

Americana tacos (ground beef on hard shell tacos) with assorted toppings
Cheese quesadilla
fresh homemade guacamole (thanks again to corky & bensyd for the encouragement to just buy & manage avocados instead of buying guacamole)

Gorgeous! Both look super fun and yum.

Not sure of the brand, but we like the naan that Costco carries. Wonderful when you toast it a bit. I think there are 12-16 in a package.

but they’re mini naans, yes? They’re not naan. Sigh

ooh here’s the evergood factory picture for you.

Sous vide salmon (again!)

What difference does the size matter if they are tasty?

Had some sliced fish and clear soup

More mash / purée shown
For the time being , more purée than mash


https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...1eed20e60.jpeg
Potato and sweet potato purée

What is the consistency like? Almost like a soup?

More like some mash served in fine dining restaurants .. like baby food , if you can recall 😉

Salad with goat cheese, candied walnuts with fresh orange dressing
roasted cauliflower with toasted panko & Parmesan .
my version of Rao's lemon chicken.
plate could have used a little color.

that’s what he said

Someone had Pb&j for dinner? When you also made steak and chicken? Let me guess....

Lol. I do know baby food. I think it's the way it shines is that confuses me, but the meal looks lovely and more importantly tasty and that's all that matters. :)

Now, tonight we had tandoori lamb cutlets and a salad with feta. I did the lamb over coal. (my neighbour told me it was a total fire ban day but I told him it wasn't).


https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...37f61b75b3.jpg

the steak was leftover (just popped it oven at 350 after chicken was done) and really for me - maybe 2 ounces of meat? I only had 3 individual thighs because the others were in the freezer. Ideally I would have had a full 4-pack (Costco).

Had crab again .

Experimented with stir fried satay babi , tastes more or less just like we had ages ago , will keep tweaking the recipe .

Steamed Sri Lankan crabs , from Indonesia

Beef cheek massaman curry with lemon & coriander giant couscous. I cook Thai curry quite regularly, but first time with beef cheeks. Would definitely do again, the slow cooked beef cheek was excellent.

Grilled salmon, steamed asparagus (too skinny to grill) and mashed potatoes.

Leftover pizza -- lamb sausage, olives and eggplant. (The latter two are things Mr CE won't eat but he got his own!)

Oh, and we broke Dry January.

Trader Joe’s chicken enchiladas
nachos with cheese, hatch chilis, black olives, and jalapeño
chopped cilantro
assorted vegetables
house made guacamole (recurring thanks to corky & bensyd for the avocado confidence!)

Good!

I cooked Zahav's Baked Mozzarella Kibbe. Good result, but at 2 1/2 hours of total time, I can't see this becoming a mainstay at my house.

Did those Thai style bbq chicken thighs again. Damn they're good. Did some onions as well and then wrapped them in a tortilla with a tomato, avocado, coriander and cucumber. Very nice.

https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...aebd2bb57f.jpg

Ah, so you do the onions in the cast iron skillet directly on the grill. Nice method.

They sure look good! I could just eat that for dinner and forget the soup, salad and/or bread.

Was this a coconut milk/ thai curry paste type marinade or care to share your recipe ?

Dinner last night was a lamb stew, seasoned with a lamb rub from the local spice shop. "Hand-mixed from: garlic, cumin, black pepper, cayenne, kimchi chile, Szechuan pepper and ginger. (Salt-free)" And I added some salt. Accompanied by smashed red potatoes finished off in the air fryer, and some steamed broccolini with lemon / garlic.

A Hello Fresh! Chicken Tikka Masala meal. We've had good experiences with these so far and will continue ordering them.

Sometimes. If I'm doing a slower cook like reversing searing steak then I'll just wrap them in foil and put them in.

I posted iy before it's this recipe. Very simple, but so delicious.

ETA: I halved the garlic because 4 cloves was a lot.

Thank you...now I remember because of the cilantro root discusssion!

Grilled rib eye steaks
baked potatoes
oven-baked steak fries
roasted onions & mushrooms
Mixed green salad

Glad you finally kicked in for the rib eyes.
2 kinds of potatoes?

rib eyes are choice steaks from Safeway - $5.99/lb in value pack. Normally $14.99/lb, Club of $8.99/lb, and a U special of $5.99/lb, limit 2 for a one-time use.
my spouse wanted baked potato; my child wanted steak fries. I enjoyed both. They cooked (baked) together in the oven for the same hour and same 500 degree temperature. Easy :-)

I just ordered Girl Scout cookies from a friend’s daughter. Now I really want some cookies now. Sigh.

I just want a hamburger.

I know you Americans have a weird rating system for steaks, where does "choice" sit in the hierachy?
