Friends chartered a boat yesterday, and the Mahi were biting.
Whipped up a little ceviche
Looks absolutely delicious, and I love how the images offer their own step-by-step instruction of how to prepare the dish.
My own meal was more mundane, a fusion of the most heretical sort, should one seek to be guided by notions of purity of the palate.
Earlier today, - not least when I spotted new potatoes in a store - I realised that it has been months since I last dined on potatoes (apart from ordered in chips - fries, to Our Transatlantic Cousins).
Classic boiled potatoes - boiled in the stock which played host to yesterday's pasta - and adorned with sea salt, black pepper, and lashings of butter - seemed a good idea.
While, initially, I had planned to serve that with (organic, free range) eggs, fried eggs, sautéed eggs, inspection of the vegetable rack yielded promise.
Thus, I sautéed diced carrot, celery, leeks, and tomato, seasoned with sea salt and black pepper, to which was also added the best part of a head (or bulb) of garlic, roughly eight or nine fat cloves of garlic chopped and sliced.
When that was ready, I added a little mirin, oyster sauce, (roughly a tablespoon of each), some kecap manis (again, a tablespoon), and around a teaspoon of sambal oelek to the vegetables, and stirred it through.
Despite the culinary culture clash - and, these days, as I am dining tout seul, culinary consistency matters not - it was rather tasty.
Amazing Meursault and amazing seafood. 😍
I love gyoza. These look gorgeous.Trip to H Mart = Gyoza
Ah, Meursault, my very favourite wine.
Do enjoy.
Nope we can order the platter and customise it: https://www.restaurant-ostrea.fr/assets/files/vente-emporter-site.pdf
Those are actually pretty reasonable prices.
I have ordered the towers at some cafes in Nice', San Malo, and Paris that ended up being a bit on the overpriced side.
I do so love the experience of sitting outside at a cafe, and just crushing a mountain of fruits de mer. The quality of especially the oysters, and moules out there are fantastic.
Before 2020 went off the rails we had a long SE France cycling trip, and several day visit with out friends in Toulouse, but obviously that got called off.
We were holding out hope for 2021, but it is looking more like 2022 until we can cross both the ponds again.
Probably the best seafood experience I have ever had was in Cancale where the town is directly over the oyster beds, and they drive them up in tractors, and you buy them fresh mere minutes out of the water for under 1€ each.
I can't wait to go back some day!

Myself and another vaccinated friend had made plans to go to a favorite burger place that has recently reopened for dine in.
Unfortunately a ton of other people had the same idea so it was over an hour wait to dine in.
Decided to just cook some burgers and fries at home.

Szechuan Fish flagrant eggplant.
That looks absolutely mouth-watering, and I bet it was simply delicious.
I have been using a cracked cast iron pan for about 20 years now, you can't even tell anymore where the crack was. It got cracked when I was trying to fix a chair with it back in the day, haha.
The name implies that there is fish in the dish, but it is just the name of the sauce.
The recipe called for Shaoxing wine, and black vinegar, both of which are new favorites. I had to seek them out from chinese groceries. The wine especially feels like a missing link, to finally emulate the flavor of my favorite takeout places.
Combined with sauteed pickled chilis, fresh garlic, and ginger, and reduced stock, the sauce was a umami bomb.
Very tasty.
Ah.
Shaoxing wine is a new (as in, spring 2021, bless the internet, reviews, Covid lockdown conditions, and the surreal revelation of the elasticity of time), ingredient, and one that is a most welcome discovery, (and yes, sourced from Asian stores, agreed).
Now, black vinegar, is something I have yet to make the acquaintance of....
A friend mentioned a cuban restaurant that closed a few years back, and I got a taste for one of their simple but tasty meals.

A local yakotori (japanese grilled food on sticks) place has these amazing tsukune (chicken meatballs) served many different ways. Our favorite is these american cheese covered ones.
It sounds like an abomination, but there is usually a line out the door to get them.
It was almost exactly one year ago, that we are hear as our last night out before everything shut down.
Now that my GF is fully vaccinated it was the only choice for her first sit down meal in a year.

Few sous vide prime rib eyes left over from the boat yesterday. Put a nice sear with the blackstone along with some sausage/peppers.
