    I'll say that spinach is a cost effective and delicious addition to any of these meals so far. A tasty and sharp side whether blanched or steamed, or just fresh and raw to dip into spicy, fishy, or sweet sauces, or to add to your broths! Looks great too if your bargain bag featured the long...

    Let us be distracted from yesterday's unpleasantness. Enjoy. Tonight's meal has two new features, alongside baked/broiled spicy chicken drummettes and rice to round out the supper: Goì muc - a simple yet refreshing squid 🐙 salad. A "dressing" of ordinarily of lime juice (had to use lemon...

    I like KP45. Best wishes to him. Aasuming he'll get an expected starting role. He will singlehandedly save Hull City from relegation on the last day of the season.

    For anyone staying up past their bedtime, Tonight's meal Mì Quảng - tumeric noodle soup. I had been excited about trying this for weeks. Parboiled then seared, short pork ribs are used as the base for a 3 hour long simmer soup including tumeric, lemongrass, fish sauce, onion. Seems to be a...

    Not presented to me personally, no. And the copper has gone all green! I'm not an American but instead am still a UK citizen. Been here for decades so happy to fill in any American political context you all may like (elsewhere on a related thread for such topics, though I'm fairly apolitical...

    Tonight's meal was supposed to be simple. It features a caramelized ground pork for lettuce wraps, assorted vegetables both fresh and pickleds, aromatics, herbs, and there were various chili and sweet sauces for drizzle or dunking. Then my wife decided she also wanted braised turkey necks. Whew...

    Tonight's meal is a classic. Cá kho - catfish, braised. Marinaded in generous amount of ginger, shallots, garlic, seared then simmered in a coconut water mixture. Using steaks rather than fillets keeps the fish from falling apart as it cooks. Much better than American style fried catfish, which...
