What is/was for dinner?

[Scepticalscribe]

It was a one of my favorite triple cream herbed Bries.

I used it again last night with the last of the Mortadella, along with some more heirloom tomatoes, fresh basil from the garden, and balsalmic glaze on toasted Brioche.

I forgot to add that you (one) can never go wrong with mortadella.

Thoroughly enjoyed preparing (and devouring) my own take on Pasta All'Amatriciana this evening: (The dish comprised olive oil, a very generous quantity of diced guanciale, some left over cherry tomatoes that I chopped, a tin of San Marzano tomatoes - mashed with a fork - and some very non-canon exquisitely finely sliced cloves of new season's garlic, a glass of white wine, plus, of course, pasta; although I had it, I decided to forego grating some Pecorino Romano, as I felt that the dish was already sufficiently flavoursome not to require it. Although the dish can be ready in around half an hour, I let the tomatoes simmer away on a low heat for the best part of an hour, before adding the pasta to the dish, and they were all the better for it,).

A glass of red wine to accompany, and a mug of coffee - somehow, coffee and Italian food work awfully well together - afterwards, although I don't often treat myself to coffee in the late evening.

Tonight is char-grilled strip, with green-beans. Harsh Paleo.

I may get a potato(e) (or two) to do a cameo, but distractions may preclude.

Oh, and def. Guinness

We had chicken wings cooked up in an air fryer.

Tonight, I dined on (homemade) pasta carbonara:

This comprised of egg yolks (organic, free range eggs), diced guanciale, and grated (by me) Pecorino Romano; plus, olive oil, pasta, generous quantities of black pepper, (salt wasn't necessary, as both the guanciale and Pecorino Romano supplied the dish with more than sufficient salt), and several ladles of the wonderful starchy liquid that the pasta had been cooked in.

Divine.

Served with a glass (or two) of Italian red wine.

And a mug of some serious coffee (Italian cuisine craves for a post prandial coffee) for afters.

Finally got a chance to try out my new torch tonight.

Sous vide prime rib eye, air brined for 2 days in the fridge with salt, pepper, and garlic. Sous vide at 134 for 2.5 hours then blasted with the torch.

I have tried every method to sear a sous vide steak, and this is probably the best crust I have ever gotten.

Strawberry shortcake for desert

And I am following (faithfully) in your footsteps.

Lisbon inspired Bifana sandwich (simmered thin strips of pork in a rich paprika sauce with a sharp mustard)

Watermelon, cucumber, and feta salad with fresh mint, basil, and lime with just a touch of honey.

2 different cultures, but the fresh salad balanced nicely with the rich pork.

I ate Japanese dumplings and noodles.

I’m late again, but yesterday, I ate hotdogs and corn.

Again we need a lip-smacking reaction so have this. 😋 This looks doable at home. MacDees here in Switzerland has occasionally offered a McRaclette with raclette cheese and a similar bun. Since I don't go there anymore I should try it at home.

I was not in a mood to cook, - and hadn't paid a visit to the farmers' market today - for it was wet and miserable here - hence, instead, - for I love Asian cuisine - I ordered in some sushi (plus some Japanese beer and sake) from what is regarded as the best sushi restaurant in the (nearby) city.
