Dinner tonight - or last night.

we use Spaghetti-O's as a quick birdfeed for over wintering blue birds. They think theyre eating mealworms (Which dessicate quickly in winter weather. Spaghetti-O harden up and , if spread out without much of that :Sauce" (Or whatever it is), the bluebirds will flock in to a covered feeder and gorge themselves.
(we put raisins in there too)


Lat nigh I did a fresh salmon fried to a light med rare, and covered with a lime matonnaise. e were accompanied by a vast bottomless serving of broccolini (Its required spring veggie tonic).

Bell peppers are not food. They are Satan's sweaty dingleberries.

mmm, Satan's sweaty dingleberries. . .

out to Sarah's Falafel with my pal B before La Nef and Michael Slattery performing Dowland in Dublin

grilled eggplant wrap and an interesting Syrian pastry (fatayer) with cheese inside. the little pastry was like a cross between a savoury filled shortbread and a pide. most excellent. I'm going to try their spinach version next

I'm not surprised, those things sound terrible, fortunately we have hoops.

My dinner was so good last night that I'm a gonna start a thread about it and similar dishes, once I'm in the mood to start one.

What did you have, osso?

I didn't describe it because it would involve a tired person typing a lot (couldn't find the exact recipe online) to tell about it, so I saved the typing for today - I made the pasta con le sarde:

Wrestling a basketball sized artichoke into the pot of boiling water.
Gonna peel off the leaves and drag them thru Hellmans

Haddock with a medley of vegetables, steamed in my microwave. Tasted a lot better than it looks!

Looks yummy Vonny.

Agreed!


For me: Fried chicken gizzards, kimchee and steamed broccoli.

Not too sure about the chicken gizzards
I had to google kimchee, that looks pretty good.

Sometimes I get feet instead, but the super had gizzards this time. If you get a chance to try kimchee, I'd recommend it. Probably any Asian mart will have it. It goes well as a side dish with just about any kind of meat or even veggie main course.

I'm going to pass on the feet as well, but I will look out for kimchee.

Hee hee.

I like kimchee but have only eaten gizzards in gravy and haven't tried, or even seen, feet. Maybe I missed them in the LA chinatown asian market. Do people fry them?

Over here they broil them in a red pepper paste with sesame seeds and, dunno, grass off the side of the road or something. And the trend is to make them as hot as people can stand them.

I'd probably like that. Could be done with drumsticks too. Hmmm.

Yep. That sounds good to me. It's not a thing here, though. Not yet, anyway.

Tonight:

Something called doe-gah-ni-tahng (도가니탕). Soup made from the knee tendons of a cow. Very gelatinous, no red meat. Delicious broth, though.
