They all look delicious, especially the broccoli and mushrooms. Can you give me a breakdown of that dish (spices and such)?

That's an easy one.

Mushroom broccoli stir fry – Umami Days

If you're a fan of Chinese beef with broccoli, this is the vegetarian version. Button and shiitake mushrooms were stir fried with broccoli florets, and tossed in a sticky sweet-salty sauce.

Oyster sauce is the most unusual ingredient but nearly all the dishes use it and it does not actually make the dish taste at all like seafood. Slice stir fry and add the sauce. You do get much better results using a wok at it transfers the heat better and quicker than a frying pan. You can substitute any mushrooms you like.

Got both (wok and oyster sauce) in the house. My wife uses those often. Will definitely try. Thanks for the link.

Ground pork and cucumber stir fry – Umami Days

Salty meat, sweet cucumber slices, heat from the chilies and a thickish sauce. It’s so simple to make but the combination of spices and seasonings will make you feel there’s a celebration going on inside your mouth.

I'm going to try this one later today, I found some ground pork in the freezer so I don't need anything else.

aglio e olio…if you like spice and garlic this is da bomba.

My attempt think next time I'll add some king prawns. Was tasty though

Misses made some pumpkin soup using chicken stock, onions, salt, pepper, pinch of curry powder for something different and of course pumpkin. Drizzled in a little cream to smooth things out. Didn't have any parsley on hand but would have garnished with if we had any. Served with some toasted buttery crusty vienna bread.

Chinese greens with oyster sauce and garlic.

Cucumber and ground pork, ratio of pork was off. Tasted good though.

V2.0 Full English stir fry. I need to work on the sauce, Worcester sauce would be a good base but I can't get that here.

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

Like the greens mate. Clean and classic.

First time I ever got them right. Before I guessed how to make them, the tecnique is to stir fry a little, then add a small amount of water and cover until the water has evaporated. It's a stir fry/steam combo.

PAILA MARINA - CHILEAN SEAFOOD STEW

I've always wanted to try the fish stew Gus was so fond of.

It was more simple then expected, but delicious. I made it again tonight but added smoked paprika and more chilli flakes and it was even better. Gus was eating good as a kid lol.

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

Sosokrates Hearty looking stew, looks bloody tasty! Taking a guess here as I haven't seen that dish before. Has prawns/shrimp, calamari, clams, cilantro, garlic, tomato, fish stock, pepper?

Pretty much.

I used this recipe as a guide.

However this recipe cooks the fish way to long, poaching fish dont take long at all.

That sounds like a good idea. Like something a chef in some fancy restaurant might dream up. I think I am going to try this tonight.

 

[GeekyDad]

Made my chicken curry on Wednesday to eat the next day and Friday. Ate it regular the first day, and...made a sandwich the next.

Was a bit disappointed, to be honest. First of all, I meant to make an Italian-style chicken, but out of habit, without thinking, I marinated the chicken in yogurt and my curry seasonings. Then, when it came time to cook it, I didn't add additional garam masala because I'm trying to go a little easy on the spicier stuff. Plus, I was also out of fresh ginger. Just meh...

But it did work as a sandwich (regular Ezekiel bread).

Liking the top one mate. Looks good.

Is your right leg shorter than your left one?

No cooking involved but still delicious.
The cheeses were rockforte, comte and manchego.

More cheese though.

Certainly the healthy version mate, well done. Cheese'n'crackers is my weakness, lose the fruit, gain more cheese and crackers. Then gain some more cheese selections.

Currently got some stilton and quince paste sitting there I just picked up in yesterday's shop, it's calling my name.

I had quince jelly for the first time ever today. One of my wife's friends lives in 'Straya and brought us some of her homemade jelly to have. It's quite good.

Also

I made an Alfredo sauce with asiago cheese tonight. I quite enjoyed it a bit more than parmesan tbh.

Yeah I dont know if you like your fruit and veg but a cheese board or plate is a great way to get your five a day. Fruit + cheese is a historic food pairing, we have been eating it for centuries.

I consume mostly fruit and veggies each day. Unfortunately, though I absolutely love cheese, it doesn't love me back.

I've seen these flat style plates at Costco and never pulled the trigger. Are they non-stick? Or just look it. Durable and scratch resistant?

Honestly? My wife and I put them on our wedding registry on Amazon. When we received them, I thought they would chip like a mother fucker. That being said, they’re durable and worth every Penny and have survived two kids so far.

Looks fantastic. Was it made with fresh or canned pumpkin. Hopefully fresh. Filling and delicious

Just as importantly, what’s the wine? (And why is a Pepsi anywhere near that glass?)

Fresh mate, two types of pumpkin. Butternut and Queensland Blue were the types used.

Where do you go catch squid? Do you use pots like you do with octopus?

 

[Doom85]

Where do you go catch squid?

You can usually find one near a pineapple under the sea…

 

[Chronicle]

Well I live near the sea. But I usually drive about an hour to the coast and they're spawning now in shallow waters at this time of year. I just go out on a wharf toss in a squid jig (lure) and they'll just grab it. They're easy to catch. They come up shooting water at you and then will ink you. They're cute little buggers. You can kinda feel a bit bad with that big eye looking at you. In the pick hes bigger than he looks. Its the angle that makes him look small.

They can bite though. In the middle pick the little guy got me twice. Ouch! Tge can get up to a 16 inches.

 

[AJUMP23]

If they ink you, it is your duty to eat them.

Literally stir fried up some leftover roasted chicken (peri sauce), with some zucchini, noodles and some cashew nuts. Added in some some sesame sauce.

Perfect for a stir fry. I'm doing this Stir Fry Chicken recipe tonight but losing the zucchini and adding some rice to extend for repeat meals and savings etc. My kids love the broccoli soaking up the sauce and flavour. Probably throw in some chopped chillies too.

I find zucchini one of those vegetables that can be a pain to cook too. It has that tight threshold where you can go from cooked and firm, to overcooked and soggy as fuck.

Chopped up chilies is one thing I'm a sissy. I'm not into super hot food, and the times I tossed in some hot peppers I screwed it up cooking it in too long so the entree became a flamethrower. LOL. For me, I take the wimp way out and prefer hot sauce on the side as a dip and use cheap mainstream stuff like Frank's or Valentina's.

As dumb as it sounds, when I do Chinese take out and get sauce packets, sometimes the hot sauce packets are good. And I stock up on them along with packets of duck sauce which are way better than plum sauce. lol
