How did you come to this Chicken liver recipe? I must say it is starting to make me wonder what it would taste like. Do you just saute it and then add the marinade back in, hmmmm.
Of course it was amazing and devoured in short order, I would totally make it again or something like it. Try it out.
Sushi, ordered in from the best Japanese place in the city.
I tried making spanakopita, which I had in college a few years back.
Before putting it in the oven, I really thought I bit off more than I could chew. It took so long to make, the recipe wasn't clear on a couple things, and I felt like I was going a bit crazy with all the olive oil I brushed on.
It was amazing. I don't know how, but it was just like I remembered it. Will make again.

*Claps in Greek* Well done! that looks like what my Mom makes. I turst it tasted good, I am a bit lazy (it is pretty involved) so usually buy it but I have made it before.
Pear and gorgonzola pie, caramelized onions as a base, topped with greens dressed with blue cheese, and seasoned walnuts.
Homemade San marzano sauce, with Italian olives, and picante Calabrese salami.
Still working on the whole circular pie thing.

@yaxomoxay: I finally managed to lay hands on guanciale today, (in my cheesemonger's) and am very much looking forward to cooking with it.
Recipes and suggestions will be gratefully received and are more than welcome.

If you say guanciale I immediately think of Spaghetti alla Carbonara, Pasta alla Gricia, or Spaghetti all’Amatriciana.
Thank you.
I had been consulting recipes for both Spaghetti alla Carbonara and Spaghetti all'Amatriciana (hadn't ever come across Pasta alla Gricia, but I have since looked it up).
Anyway, while I have been able to lay hands on pancetta (good quality, authentic, Italian pancetta) for ages, I hadn't heard of guanciale until you mentioned it on these threads some time ago, and, when I laid eyes on it yesterday, I had to restrain myself, but, yes, it found its way into my basket almost immediately.
Let me know if you like it. Carbonara is definitely my favorite. I could eat tons of it.
Tried my hand at a homemade version of the Japanese nigiri & sashimi I have been devouring happily for the past few weeks.
Classic sushi - as in maki rolls - was out of the question; I'll leave that to the professionals. But, a nigiri inspired repast seemed well within my culinary reach.
Therefore, from the fishmonger, I had ordered samon sashmi, and tuna sashimi, and smoked eel. (I had also ordered gravadlax - which I adore - and smoked tuna, but they will comprise a different style of dinner). This was delivered this morning.
And I also ordered sushi rice, sushi pickled ginger, wasabi, mirin, rice vinegar/sushi seasoning, and had fun preparing sushi style rice in the rice cooker. (This is the sort of situation where the internet comes into its own).
So, sushi rice (which turned out surprisingly well), sliced sashimi tuna, sashimi salmon, and smoked eel, (yes, I have a number of elegant and exceedingly sharp, gorgeous, Japanese knives - balanced, beautiful and superb at what they do - with which to do the needful) served with a little bowl of sushi pickled ginger, and a separate little bowl of soy sauce with wasabi (stirred and dissolved through the soy sauce), and a dash of mirin, comprised dinner. And delicious it was too.

Dinner took the form of :
Sushi rice (anointed with rice vineger, sushi seasoning, a little mirin) prepared (lovingly, all that soaking and rinsing) in my rice cooker: Served with sashimi salmon, and sashimi tuna, sliced (appropriately) with one of my gorgeous (and horribly effective) Japanese knives. Wakame (oh, yum).
A small bowl of sushi pickled ginger (I love this stuff); a small bowl of soy sauce, wth sufficient wasabi (to provide serious heat) dissolved, and seasoned with a dash of mirin.
Reader, I devoured the lot.

We did something different last night. One of those Cousins Maine Lobster trucks from Shark Tank was in our area, so we decided to try it out. We got lobster rolls, lobster tots, and whoopie pies. It was all so good.

Palak paneer. (Indian spinach, and firm cheese curd curry) With homemade naan bread, off of the pizza oven.
