Someone who can think clearly in a crisis. Thanks Bruce!

Ribs tonight. With a smoky maple glaze.
Cooking for the 'rents.
Ribs and mashipots and... not sure actually. Veg of some sort.
I suggested corn on the cob but it was vetoed.

I may even manage to keep it down.

Mushy peas?

Actually I found the British supermarkets had a pretty vast stock of fresh vegetables, especially the ones that grow well in that climate.

I made some nice fish tacos last night. There are one of those dishes that didn't exist outside of the Pacific coastal Mexico 15 years ago or so. My friend from Mexico City still laughs and says that they aren't really Mexican food! I prefer them to traditional meat ones because those can be real calorie bombs with all the meat and cheese.

Cod has been well priced so I got 2 or 3 fillets and sliced them into smaller strips. Floured them and dipped them in a beer batter (used Dos Equis) and then in hot oil. I actually prefer to grill the fish on my charcoal grill but my wife prefers the fried ones. Served them in warm corn tortillas with finely chipped Napa cabbage. I made the traditional creamy sauce but used no fat Greek yogurt with lofat mayo and some nice spices and lime juice.

Happy Union night! Shrimp and chicken in a brown sauce over rice. I am not blanching the chicken or frying the shrimp and replacing the broccoli with asparagus.

You're right. Mum & Dad favour what I call "Winter" vegetables. Cauliflower, cabbage, sprouts, carrots.
I like Summer ones better - beans and sprouts, peppers, scallions, peas. I like me some carrots, but I only really enjoy them when they're roasted.

All sounds good. But I doubt your brown sauce is like mine! Splain please!

Gosh that sounds yummy. As does Chris's.
I'm off my fish kick now.
Craving soft pappy foods like soft cheese, tinned fruit, custards. That might be slight dehydration, we've hit a pocket of warm weather for once.

We're having butter chicken with rice.

Also, maybe the kids will finish off the cheesecake I made the other day. I'm sick of looking at it in the fridge. :/

bbro · 05-07-2013, 06:57 AM

The recipe is actually called Happy Union, so the sauce was from that recipe. Off the top of my head it had the following: Salt, pepper, oyster sauce, soy sauce and chicken broth (I didn't use the sherry it called for). In a separate addition there was garlic, ginger and scallions

I spent a few minutes yesterday wondering if Union Night was a holiday I didn't know about, and finally decided it must've had something to do with May 1st's Labor Day.

Can the Kenny Burrell music be moved to a place that's more intuitive than 'What's for Dinner?'? I love this, keep wanting to listen but forgetting which thread it's in. Right now it's exactly what I need.

Dancing around my apartment right now. Love this stuff.
