I didn't even want anything, but she wanted a bagel, and I'm not coming out of a pizza joint empty-handed, ever. :laugh:

I am also not comparing a steak to a hot dog. I like them both. I can't get Vienna Beef dogs down here. The rest of a Chicago dog is vegetables. It's like a meal on a bun.

Getting a Vienna Beef Chicago dog in Chi-town is like getting a cheesesteak or hoagie on Amoroso's bread in Philly or a 2-dollar slice of cheese pizza in NYC -- it's one of those things I enjoy doing when I travel.

You had me at cheesesteak. And NYC pizza. I too have my travel food preferences, like red beans and rice and gumbo (and a multitude of other foods) in Louisiana or any part of Cajun country (maybe boudin balls for you).

You'd never want to be around me after I ate a hot dog. :eek: I could tolerate an entire stick of butter much better.

This is one of the new vegetarian/vegan dishes I mentioned based on sweet potato that went out tonight as a special to see how it's received. Basically it's a sweet potato pave with fried onion, garlic, herbs, coriander, cumin, black cardamom in coconut milk. Sauteed mushrooms, raw jicama batons in a chimichurri marinade. The pave is sitting on swiss chard. Also the sauce is a combo of adobo made fresh and chipotle in adobo sauce, pureed. Also I pickled some jalapenos. We'll see how it sells. I also put this post in the challenge sweet potato thread. View attachment 67066

Is the sweet potato pavé the orange rectangular chip/crisp on the left side of the dish?

Yep, that's it, lol. It's easier to see from the other side without the mushrooms stacked up against the pave. The pave is about the size of a deck of cards and about as thick with about 15 layers.

That three hours does not surprise me at 275F. That's fine. They will not be mushy right out of the skin, but should mash easily to a creamy texture -- with no added liquids -- just a little time and effort.

Oh, I get it. I just ate them out of the skin, no mashing, I was not going to present them, so went for the simplest version. They were so good as they were.
Good tip to not add liquids, thank you.
If I would to use baked sweet potatoes, I think I would peel and cut in chunks, but I don't know yet.
I might want to try them boiled too.

As you mention Cajun, I recently stumbled upon an 'eating show' where I heard Cajun pronouced Cajun, as in June, and all until then, I thought it was Cahoon, like Hood...curious to the Cajun spices...what I got recently was a Carribean style cheese with Cajun spices...it did sound a bit over the top, but it is not too bad, industrial taste kind of...
Regardless, interesting to learn...
 
My kale stew turned delicious. We had it over plain rice for lunch yesterday. To balance the spices. Used China spices mix. Kid had baked chicken thigh along.

I am getting rid of my unused furniture. Sold two lounge armchairs just yesterday. If it does not sell, will try charity, or dispose. I loved those, bit my flat is too small for them. At its current constellation.

Dinner the leftover avocado, ground chilli and salt over,fresh toms, green onion Burt Blank almost like Burt's fav salad...and gluten free bread toasted, smeared with butter and Mascarpone.

Don't overthink it. Cajun is pronounced like it is spelled. "Cay-Jun". Rhymes with Gay and Fun.

Tenderloin steak (filet mignon), sous vide and seared with the Searzall. Topped with a peppercorn sauce. Rabbit food as a side, but not in the photo.

Psycho poodle was pi$$ed off, because I ate the whole steak, and he only got to lick the plate. But my reaction was as usual, "Get a job and start paying some bills around here, and you will be entitled to some of my food!"
