What's For Dinner Tonight?

chassis · 05-27-2021, 08:15 PM

Crispy pork belly au jus and Gratin Savoyard

Recipe from Bruno Albouze on YouTube. The star ingredient for me is the freshly grated nutmeg in the gratin.

A nice contrast after last night's tabbouleh.

My latest reiteration and my last one...

The best Home Made Pizza I ever made.

5 time baked.

* Crust, Sauce and Shreded Mozzarella Cheese (bake at 375)

* Add Pepperoni and bake until they start to curl

* Add Veggies and back until they look dried up (increased to 400)

* Add more Pepperoni until they start to curl

* Add Fresh Balled Mozzarella and Bacon Bits (under broil until the cheese browned and bubbled

The only thing she like is the Fresh Mozzarella

Pizza. Why you ask...? Because it's Friday.

In honour of International Hamburger Day I had a TNT Spicy Burger and Poutine from Cheese Curds. Since all dine-in in the city is closed right now I drove down to the boardwalk in Eastern Passage and had a picnic in the car. It was only 11c and a stiff breeze coming off the water so it wasn't very pleasant outside. Sorry no pictures because I didn't want it to get cold. Maybe next time.
I lied, here's a picture from their website.

Is the Pepperoni from Brothers Meat & Delicatessen on Agricola St in Hfx?

JP10 · 05-28-2021, 06:49 PM

I forgot to post last night. Guac and calamari to start. I had seafood stew with mussels, clams, shrimp, and plantains. The mrs had mahi in a coconut cream sauce. Finished with a banana tart and chocolate ice cream. So good, and the views were unreal although it was dark so I don't have the photos.

I use to carry suitcase of it (vacuum pack) from Halifax to Ottawa every time I went to work in Halifax.

So did a lot of my friends that work for the government. I always had a lot of it in the freezer until Fuchen Covid. Can hardly wait for life to be back to normal...

It's a Nova Scotia thing. The deli is in the heart of the city and the smokehouse is burning every day to keep up with demand. Check out their website: http://www.brothersmeatsdeli.com

Friday? Can you say “pizza”?

Back in the 70's, Max told me that I could have his recipes and open a shop in Montréal. I had to explained to him that one would need the blessing of the "family", Cotroni at the time for that to happened...

I always manage to get mine at the Masstown market. Hottest thing in my mouth.

Risotto balls and shrimp bisque to start. I had the chicken risotto which was great although not overly aesthetic. She had the pork ribs. Finished with a apple tart and orange creme brûlée.

RickFLM4 · 05-29-2021, 03:54 PM

A day late with pepperoni pizza vs. everyone else. 2 layers of pepperoni and 2 layers of mozzarella (plus Parmigiano Reggiano).
