That cassoulet looks fabulous...


I scored a big bag of eggplants and a big bag of chillies for $3 each yesterday.... so once my smoothie & my tea are gone I'll be cooking them up in a couple of ways. Will post some pics later.

Monday night's dinner was peas and potato curry with chappatis and a cucumber and red pepper raita, accompanied by a glass of wine.
 
All of the talk about favorite cheeses in another thread got me to having a taste for cheese. Tonight's supper was a cheese board with salami and prosciutto, a fruit platter, and crudites, along with a selection of crackers. Neither one of us thought to run and get a baguette until the food was on the table. Next time...

The smoked Gouda in the upper-left corner of the board is from a dairy farm about 50 miles from us, although I bought it in a local grocery store. One of these days I'll remember to check out the fromagerie right in our own town.

By the way, all three patterned plates were my Mom's, some of which are her Mom's - and probably her Mom's before her! The top-center with the fruit is marked "Austria" while the green-edged with vegetables and the pierced edged one with crackers are marked "Germany".

Would that be "aloo matar"?

It is indeed a variation of aloo matar. This one has onions and garlic in it, but has lemon instead of [the "modern" addition of] tomatoes. It is very light in spite of the potatoes, and quite fragrant.

A veggie noodle stir fry with soy, ginger, garlic, sesame oil & shaoxing wine topped with leftover roast pork that I crisped & glazed in a separate pan with sweet soy, sweet chilli, black pepper & sesame oil. Garnished with toasted slivered almonds.

I've never come across that before. So - what does using the muffin tin do? Is it just to make them muffin shaped?

It makes them stay more uniform in shape. It is a method for out door grilling. They simmer in their own juices for about 45 minutes which keeps the dark meat very moist and tender, then I take them out and finish them with a barbecue sauce and to dry and crisp them up a bit. Cut the knuckle(hip joint) off and you only have one small straight bone inside so it is convenient to eat.
