Ergh, last night we went to an italian restaurant, and I had a radicchio/endive/artichoke/parma ham/grana padano salad, and it was ghastly. :S Expensive too.

i find the existence of grana padano troubling. but i'm a cheese snob/slut.

 

[BeardofPants]

I like it... Not as much as pecorino or reggiano, but eh.

So we grilled boneless/skinless chicken breasts at the pool tonight. I had marinated them in a caribbean rub that I found the recipe for in my new Caribbean/South American cookbook. I grilled 5 extra to make chicken salad for a luncheon meeting I have tomorrow. I hate raw celery so I used green apple instead and I also added in spiced pecans and Craisins. Whip those up with half mayo half sour cream and some pepper and all of a sudden I don't want to share anymore

I'll serve it on a bed of greens with sliced strawberries and kiwi fruit.

Apple & leek frittata served with toasted walnut loaf and a liberal sprinkling of fresh coriander & basil. Yum!

What I made was a lovely stew

What I ate was a piece a flavourless trout.

(I need a recipe for tuna steak please)

 

[Nixy]

Why didn't you eat the lovely stew?

 

[JTP]

What's left of a bottle of Merlot, with smoked gouda on crackers

 

[paul_valaru]

Why didn't you eat the lovely stew?

Cause while I still weigh less than when you met me, I am trying to shed a couple of pounds, and cutting out meat, and empty carbs is the way I m going about it.

that's easy as could be.

sear it in butter briefly on each side, and eat it. most of it should still be its full raw color. also nice if you smear some wasabi all over each side and coat it with panko flour.

 

[tonksy]

For God's sake don't over cook it. Dark pink is good.

I know it should be near raw, I have no wasabi, and no panko

thinking sear if and make a soy ginger dipping sauce

Good thinking, Man! That sounds great.

well, the fish counter was out so this is the PC brand pre packaged stuff, it is frozen (yuck) and vaccuum packed, but PC brand has not let me down yet.

The trout was from the fish counter, it was fresh, but tasteless.

A friend BBQed tuna last weekend. He used a seasame marinade and then ate it with wasabi (he bought it powdered and mixed it up). I tried a tiny piece and it was good (my dinner was steak). He had it dark pink in the middle.

Boo on people who over-cook fish!
