    Chicken stir-fry with wholewheat noodles. I made my own basic stir-fry sauce for the first time and it was really nice ๐Ÿ˜‹

    On Saturday night, my boyfriend and I made coneys! We put them on Hawaiian buns instead of regular, and used mozzarella cheese instead of cheddar. They were so good :p

    Hubby's requested Father's Day dinner: Corn on the cob, Shrimp, and Ribeye steaks, all cooked on the grill...and coconut cream pie for dessert! It was all delish! and we were so busy all weekend, neither of us feels the least bit guilty about any of it!

    Just boiled potatoes and quark. I keep my meals very simple.

    Black bean and roasted sweet potato tacos with homemade tortillas from a recipe from Serious Eats. The tortillas would also be good for anything you'd want to use a pocketless pita for in terms of both taste and texture. I also didn't have any bread flour (forgot to pick some up) so I added a tbsp of vital wheat gluten. You could get around that by kneading it longer - either by hand or via a stand mixer with a dough hook.

    I cooked the black beans in the instant pot yesterday then sauteed them this evening with onions and garlic and mashed them with a spatula somewhat haphazardly.

    Another summer salad experiment.

    Thai-inspired cucumber-lime salad. Pretty simple, decent flavor. Made an interesting pairing with a hearty turkey sandwich for lunch this rainy summer day.

    Next time I'll probably add some yellow or red bell pepper for some color splash, and decrease the amount of onions (or make them really finely sliced). Also, I continue my love-hate relationship with the mandolin; I'd probably use some cheffy knife skills next time, or the cuisinart to render the cukes.

    More pita - shocking I know. This time, however, was by far the most successful. I suspect it was a mix of using just enough but not too much vital wheat gluten (I could likely get around this by using bread flour, but where's the fun in that), rolling the dough out thin enough, and having the oven on 500F with convection. I also made tomato kibbeh.

    The Chinese equivalent of gnocchi.

    Copycat Ippudo cucumber salad. I switched the fish sauce for a quarter teaspoon of instant dashi powder as I suspect that is what Ippudo does.

    Another summer salad: carrot-raisin-pineapple with a citrus vinaigrette dressing. Served with savory plain broiled chicken, quinoa and some leftover mixed veg. Made a good contrast to the chicken: refreshing, Hawaiian-like, and sweet, Used golden raisins rather than brown, and other than the top garnish, the chunk pineapple went into the cuisinart first to make fine pieces.

    (Yes, that's a little brown rice mixed into the mixed veg. had a couple tablespoons left over from last night's dinner, just saved it and the veg all together).

    Porcini risotto

    started when we last had risotto on Sunday night. I always make a double batch and reserve half at the undercooked stage to finish off a week later, restaurant style.

    Ever since I watched David Chang make cube shaped croquettes in Mind of a Chef, I've copied the idea. Easier to cut a trayful of cubes than rolling stuff into little balls. So cute too. A cube shaped arancini made from last night's leftover risotto, cooked in the air fryer.

    @acpgee is bonito de lomo the same as mojama? Where do you buy yours?
