The food and drink thread

No butter? I need butter on mine! :1398:
 
It actually starts when my wife says "shall we buy taugé (=bean sprouts) and celery again?"
I guess 30 - 35 years ago I made the following very simple dish from a cookbook and this has grown into a week of Indonesian, Surinamese, let's say exotic eating, for example Roti with chicken and wraps, Soto Ajam soup, Gado Gado and shrimp skewers with a homemade sauce of ketchup, garlic, sweet soy sauce and hot chili peppers.
(dish: pork tenderloin in sweet soy sauce and sherry with flat celery in herb stock, red pepper (as we call it: paprika), bean sprouts, sesame seeds and rice)

Last nights supper.....

Beef tenderloin, broccoli, sweet white onion, brown mushrooms, black tiger shrimp, carrots, asparagus, red pepper and finished with corn starch/water. The only spices used were fresh ground black pepper/sea salt on the beef before browning.

Stir fry 23 Jul 2020.webp


Cheers, eh ?

That looks good Don. I would add some hot peppers though.
 
Last night, homemade marinated shrimp skewers with Japonese soban noodles, corn, bell pepper, bean sprouts, pine nuts and a little spring onion/celery mix. Homemade sauce with ketchup, soy sauce, hot chili peppers and garlic.

Sunday morning breakfast, ham & eggs the Dutch way, because I'm hypersensitive to viruses and bacteria no more sunny side up or soft boiled eggs for me! The Dutch ham & eggs is called "uitsmijter" Ha, ha, I know this is hard to pronounce, just like our Dutch "stroopwafels" which I understand English and Americans seem to love very much.

Saturday evening dinner, Surinamese Roti with chicken legs.
You eat this dish with your fingers, besides chicken legs, this roti consists of potatoes, onion, garlic and a lot of garam massala, cooked in chicken broth. This time served green beans, corn, bean sprouts and a little bit of rice. Roti is eaten with wraps and has many, many variations.

So, this thread burned out quickly, started well 3 weeks ago, unfortunately it's the overall trend on this forum.
Let's try it one more time!

A few days of a quiet forum and it's 'burned out'? There are always ebbs and flows. This whole forum has been fairly quiet for the past few days. I am sure others will be posting their food pictures again soon.

Your meals look delish.

The summer lulls are nothing new on forums, that's for sure. Wait for fall, too -with cooler temps, different menus will appear. :)
 
Grilled summer squash is amazing, isn't it? Love grilled zucchini, too. It doesn't need much seasoning to take it over the top. :thumbyo: I wouldn't even bother with the butter after the grilling.
