What's for Dinner, Tues., April 9, 2019

[NJCher]

That Korean meal I had last night was so fantastic that I'm tempted to order out from them, but I feel like I really should try something different for my last night here. However, I wanted to mention a couple things about this place. First, they serve the meal in a stone bowl. This bowl was so hot that my meal stayed warm for the entire time I was there. In fact the bowl was still so hot to the touch when I was done that I could barely touch it. It also had another nice effect: there was rice on the bottom and the stone bowl turned it slightly brown. Was it ever good--in effect, caramelized rice!

The dish I had was piled high with veggies and had beef in the middle. It also came with six little bowls of dishes like noodles, bean sprouts as a salad, chili-garlic paste, radishes, marinated, but not your typical American red radish. This was some type of larger Korean radish. Corn salad. There was a lot there.

They had a scallion pancake and dumplings that I wanted to try so if I do go there again tonight, that's what I'll order.

2. I'm not sure what to call my creation

I suppose it's scalloped potatoes, but I've never made them like this before.

I've always put onions in my sp, and very often ham. This time instead of ham, I used sliced sweet Italian sausage, and along w/ the onions I added some sweet bell pepper and some black olives. In the cream sauce is just a hint of yellow mustard.

With that, we're having green beans sautéed w/ cherry tomatoes and garlic with just a hint of lemon zest.

I have no idea about dessert. I've been eying a box of brownie mix....

3. I'm so jealous. When I used to go to Korea for work I loved the food.

Of course I love garlic, I'm sure when I came home to the US I probably smelled like garlic for a week. I loved the BBQ eel (which isn't actually eel, it's a long fish) & of course kimchi. There's ALWAYS a jar of kimchi in my refrigerator, thankfully we have a local produce market owned by an Asian family & they make it themselves.

I'm jealous because there aren't any Korean restaurants where I live. You're lucky!

4. probably going to saute or somehow warm up the rarest bits of the steak we had last night

and have it with fresh asparagus and ... ??? more salad, or maybe a potato in some form. not sure yet.

5. B/C of Miss Millies good example, I tried to recreate a casserole.

I had at a potluck last summer. It is better with fresh tomatoes & garden picked zukes.

Cooked curly pasta mixed with 1 canned Italian style tomatoes, 1 mediun zuke, cut in 1/4, onion, garlic, more Italian seasoning, mixed with vegan italian style 'sausage'. Heated through, then in an oiled casserole 350/20 min, parmesian cheese curls & some halved cherry tomatoes, under the broiler for 10 min. More cheese next time, and maybe basil leaves
