What's On Your Plate???

I think I overheard my wife say she had to buy that stuff to mix into her stuffed mushrooms !??!

make sense ??

Yeah it adds some vinegar bite, but isn't as in your face and blends well with other flavors.

And one's dish pile.

Yeah my wife likes it when I cook, but hates the kitchen afterward

Unfortunately though the deal was originally that I do the cooking and The Wife does the cleaning (dishes), in practice it hasn't worked out that way so I now do all the dishes, too, every night. Along with cleaning the baby bottles...

But a side-effect of that is I've become more efficient in my dish usage and better at cleaning up / rinsing used stuff off as I cook. And washing things myself, I know they're actually properly clean. And my good knives don't get ****ed up...

BTW in my pantry I have regular white vinegar, red wine vinegar, white wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar, and rice wine vinegar.

Unrelated Side Note - The Wife doesn't like vinegar...

She likes vinegar....she just doesn't know it.

You are a good man! We have a similar deal at my house and she does most of the dishes, but I have made an effort to use less and rinse as I cook. However, the knife thing kills me. We had company over last week and one of our friends did the dishes to help and I found my Santoku in the dishwasher...Someone almost died!

Thanks, lol - one thing you'll never see me cooking is tofu... The Wife and The Kid like it so you might see it as part of a restaurant meal, but that's it...

Actually despite all the rich stuff you see me posting, I've been losing a little weight lately, 1 - 2 lbs per week...

I ate a big block of silk tofu last weekend, half with soy and half with teriyaki. I like it but it's definitely an acquired taste/texture.

Kushiage, little morsels of food skewered and breaded before frying - they spin them after cooking so there is very little oil remaining. As a result, they're not heavy or greasy.

The chef places them on a plate that mirrors that one with the sauces, his recommendation on which one pairs best. The non-veggie ones sometimes have two or three ingredients, but the veggie ones are all about bringing out the flavour of a single item.

This is the only one I had two of. Courgette (zucchini if you must) with tartare sauce. Really delicious.
