JasperMade cottage pie #foodieverse
Florian HaasWhen it comes to accompanying pasta, which of these cheeses do you tend to use more than the others?
(Boosts OK)
Robot Diver 🌊🌬️🍃🌿🌸🌱🌱🌱One of my earliest childhood memories is riding the escalator at Eaton's with my gram to get our Christmas Melton Mowbray pie. I'm so small that the escalator itself feels like some giant sci fi tunnel as I look up, far too small to see over the sides.
Eaton's Melton Mowbray was not what you see in youtube videos extolling the food history of Melton Mowbray, but a massive brick of a pie they would slice a big chunk off. The flavours remained the same though and still bring me huge nostalgia this time of year.
I'm not sure how this became a family tradition, I'm not particularly English. The roots that I do have in that area of the world are mainly Irish and Scottish, but nostalgia for flavours runs deep.
My beautiful partner on the other hand has family from Melton Mowbray and has never tried the namesake pie.
The specialty foods counter at Eatons is a ghost now. We've tried to find one over the years without much luck. A couple of years ago we found a tiny frozen one that tasted like cat food and wet cardboard. It was so disappointing.
So this year, with my MECFS being a little better behaved than the last few, I took it upon myself to make one. I had to break it down into tiny parts over a couple of months, dicing and seasoning pork shoulder and freezing it one day, prepping pork belly another. Making homemade pork gelatine on a drizzly November afternoon and freezing it.
And it has turned out beautifully! I no longer celebrate Christmas, but Winter Solstice instead. My family are long gone, and the pastry is not traditional because my partner and I are both allergic to wheat, but for what it's worth, a Melton Mowbray pie for solstice eve. It tastes exactly as I remember and was worth every moment of work.
JuliaAnother one from my Flushing grocery shopping. The draw was fresh rice noodles that I have never seen in the store before. Couldn’t miss that.
This one went Thai direction — from Phat Kuay Tiaw Raat Naa Muu, stir fried white noodles with pork, inspiration.
Once the noodles are separated — I used a few tablespoons of soy sauce to rub them apart — and sliced, they are softened in a wok and settled on a platter.
For the dressing, I stir fried ground pork with garlic and mixed in soy sauce, oyster sauce, miso, white pepper, and sugar thickened with tapioca.
For the greens — sliced broad beans and home grown shishitos.
What made it more exciting at the table are additional toppings — fried shallots, chopped Thai dragon peppers, roasted chili flakes, and a dressing of fish sauce with sugar and lime juice.

When it rains — pho to the rescue. With shaken beef. At the very modern Tangram Mall where Nón Lá Express automated baskets lower the noodles into the hot water and pull them out by the timer. Less character, more efficiency, but spicy and tasty.
US Open games were suspended for the day which gave us time to see more of Queens. Umbrellas on a Flushing sidewalk is not a sight to be missed.
We discovered Ganesh Temple of Flushing and took a tour of it. After the tour, visitors were invited to the Temple Canteen where we split a Masala dosa, a South Indian crepe filled with spiced potatoes and onions, along with coconut chutney. The dosa was crispy, filling was fragrant, and chutney was hot and herby. Interesting that Pete Wells put this Temple Canteen on his NYT 100 Best Restaurants in New York City list.
A walk to and around Queens Botanical Garden to see the farm, the beehives, the beautiful wedding venue. The Garden is not as big as the Brooklyn one but worth the trip nonetheless.
The courts of the Tennis Center were still wet. To dry off at the end of the day, we went to Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao on Prince Street where soup dumplings, spicy wontons, chicken broth, and pickled mustard with tofu skins warmed us up.
I love rain.

A few benefit of sous vide — it allows for perfect dinner timing. It reduces standing in front of the grill to a minimum which is not a small thing during a heat wave. And of course it delivers the perfect rare with perfect char.
We’ve been on a sous vide streak for a while. No regrets.

Die Gerichte im echten NordenMit dem #FischbrötchenFreitag geht die Woche am #Landgericht #Lübeck zu Ende. Wir wünschen Euch allen ein erholsames Wochenende!
Could one of my Italian friends please explain something to me?
I used to be under the impression that for homemade pasta, one either uses tipo 00 wheat flour and eggs, or durum wheat flour and water. Now I see a fettucine recipe that calls for durum wheat flour and eggs. Is this a regional thing, or does it go with that specific pasta cut, or did I miss something I should remember?
Which of these are actual, legitimate products you can buy?
