What did you cook tonight?

They have to be crispy for me hence the rack.

Fast lunch

Remembered after flipping the chops that I had some of the green end of the leek* used for soup a few days ago so sliced that thinly and tossed in for the remainder of cooking.
Delicious delicata squash served with skin.
Leeks went on yukon potatoes.
Low effort, high satisfaction. So tasty I forgot to add a little mustard on the side which I love with pork chops.

*reminds me that I once gave a potato leek soup recipe to a friend in Argentina. I just gave basic instructions and she sent me pics that looked like guacamole and she said she didn’t like it. I asked what made it so green and she said ā€œin Argentina we use the whole leekā€ :grimacing:

I can’t abide shellfish and red wine, but the dish looks great!

Pardon the messy plating. Didn’t realize it looked so messy until later. This was also my first day off work since 9/24. But I spent the whole day working around the house.

Grilled Chilean Sea Bass. The skin was very crisp and tasty. Baked sweet potato. Asparagus with Hollandaise.

Looks great Buzz, I must say I struggle pairing wine with soup-I can never get it right.

Made some seared-then-roasted IbƩrico pork tomahawks for dinner tonight. Potato salad too (my first time to ever make it myself, strangely enough).


Marinated for 24 hours in a mixture of Japanese golden peach juice, tawny port, juice of an orange, garlic cloves, extra virgin olive oil, sea salt & white pepper. Seared, then roasted. Basted with a simple maple syrup glaze.


Potato salad.


Garlic broccoli by the cook.


Nice with some Oettinger weissbier.

I think you’re going to be pretty disappointed to learn how the majority of the world makes a potato salad…

In the Syrian Jewish community I’m from, we avoid the mayo, but not the eggs. So good.

Well, since potatoes originated in the new world, I think we should have some say as to how potato salad should be prepared :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Having said that, I am not a mayo guy, so I’m with you all the way. I love what we here call ā€œgerman potato saladā€. But I am fine with some sliced egg, as well as red onion in mine.

I’m very familiar with that German version of potato salad. My wife’s paternal side is of German descent, from Bremen. That type of potato salad you refer to I prefer with sausages, Christmas goose, etc. With the pork dish I served last night, I prefer the type I made as depicted.

I used Japanese mayo for the subject potato salad.
