Every now and then I like to get some canned roast beef hash. I prefer the roast beef hash to corned beef hash.


Sure, it is possible to make my own roast beef hash, but the canned stuff will do quite often. I can even eat it straight out of the can, instead of heating it up with some things added. Today, I plan on incorporating hash into a breakfast.
 
I don't often get chives, even though I like them quite a bit. They always seem to spoil too quickly in the fridge. I think I may try to freeze the leftover and thaw to use in the future.


I am cooking something up today where chives are an essential ingredient, second to tomatoes and tomatillos with other ingredients in a sauce/condiment. I'll post later today.
 
Dutch salty licorice ( salmiak) liquor. Similar to Finnish Salmiakki.

For chives like that, I'll either trim just a bit off the ends, to get a fresh cut, and plop them in a little jar of water (maybe a quarter-inch) and put a little plastic baggie over them, or I'll take a paper towel, get it damp, squeeze it out as much as possible, then wrap the chives in it, put them back in that little plastic package they came in, snap down one end and leave the other end open. They'll last a little longer that way.
 
A visit to Patel Brothers ( and NO, Caseydog, nuffink British:D):
Curry leaves, long green chiles, dried red chiles,Besan flour, Mamri tea, toor dal, tamarind paste, Lijaat papads , and Chatpata vegetable cutlets. It took an enormous, no,exceedingly strenuous effort not to buy 20 jars of mango pickle, tamarind pickle, gooseberry pickle, amla pickle.....

Finally took a picture. We'll be having chicken breasts with black truffles over barley risotto. I just put the chicken in to soak in a thyme and milk bath after deboning and sliding a few truffle shavings under the skin. It will poach/sous vide in the milk mixture, then will get crisped in butter.

Tomorrow night will be the truffled ricotta agnolotti in parm rind consomme. And a planned third of fresh pasta with brown butter and robiola cheese sauce with truffle shavings. I think these 3 meals will pretty much use up the truffles, maybe leaving a bit for homemade truffle butter or oil.
