That caiziyou is great. Rub some on some thighs with just salt and pepper and roast until the skin is crispy. Damn.

I like Frenching thighs like that.



Vinyls.   deal.

I don't do thighs like that. I'll just debone and fillet out to stuff but usually do the legs that way. Or lollipop them.

Right on. If you have an abundance, I recently a Michoacán recipe you might like.

Hollow them out and stuff with queso Oaxaca or queso chihuahua.
Use the pulp along with roasted tomatoes, roasted onions, chilis and garlic all blended with a little stock or water as a sale it's to braise the calabazas in. Serve with whatever.

I'm gonna try this out.

aha! strozzapreti, per the label. I put some honey'd garlic in there. Surpise to me that the garlic quite thourougly absorbed the honey. Whole garlic but took it up like a sponge. weird.

The peas were boiled then tossed in caiziyou oiled pan plus dried onions and some butter. Nice when dried onions absorb a little, they got a little mushy but still al dente! half-rehydrated or something, you would know. Pasta boiled in the peas water.

hand grated parm regg. Nice Springy dish. Still need to get reeeaal anchovy from Italy. Big diff. I'll get some.

------
recycling for breakfast, and practicing Italian(?):

strozzapreti uova strapazzate con piselli aglio feta e acciughe.
& dash of Maepranom shrimp flavor crushed chili.

it was okay, very light seasoning. oh, but a little anchovy sure goes a loooong way. There's none in there but still obvious from where it was in the original dish. I found some Italian fish sauce that might be mostly anchovy - I should get a bottle.

not too pretty but I can work with it

Got my new big ass bag of this years crop of rice.

Also got a little bag of makrut leaf powder. Think I might make a seasoning blend for fun. Use some Red Boat fish salt too.

Found this at New Seasons yesterday. After I stopped being able to get from Belize I just started making my own. It never dawned on my to look online for it. I've never seen it in Hispanic stores although I haven't looked in years.

Attempted to make shevid polo. A Persian rice dish that is loaded with fresh dill and is cooked with flat bread on the bottom and gets crispy. So the presentation is, and I'm sure you've seen this, is to invert onto a plate and have the nice crispy golden bread crust thing on top. Cool right? Well I didn't get it right.

I didn't have any flatbread and wanted to make enough for two instead of ten. So I tried a flour tortilla cut down to size. Didn't work but probably could've.

But the texture and flavor of the rice was really interesting. Kind of custard like because of the addition of olive oil and the two stage cooking technique.

Maybe I should add a pic of what it's supposed to look like eh?

Just got about 15 pounds of sockeye. Think I'll brine and smoke some. Maybe cure some too.

Mmm.  I found out recently one of the lakes about 3 hr away has Kokanee salmon.  Hopefully get a chance to catch one at some point. 

However, it seems that Kokanee on this side of the continent means something different than on that side.  These are more traditional Coho or Chinook looking, while on the west side of the rockies, they look red like sockeye.
Vinyls.   deal.

Actually, those are silver, vs red.  Interesting.

Are you referring to my pic?  Those are adult pre spawn sockeye from the North Pacific. So yes still kinda silver.

Kokanee out here are landlocked sockeye. They just don't get as big as the ocean variety.
