Feast of the Ass Dinner - 1/14/2019

[tenspeed]

The Feast of the Ass was a medieval, Christian feast observed on 14 January, celebrating the Flight into Egypt. It was celebrated primarily in France, as a by-product of the Feast of Fools celebrating the donkey-related stories in the Bible, in particular the donkey bearing the Holy Family into Egypt after Jesus's birth.

Not being Christian or French, I won't be participating. Tonight's dinner will be mussels with chorizo, green salad, and Dutch oven bread that's about to go into the oven.

I have scallops, Brussels sprouts, and bacon in the house. They're what's for supper, unless I end up making something else.

Got some giant (around 1.25-1.33 Lb. each) bone-in skin on chicken breasts on sale. I vacuum packed them and two will be our dinner tonight. I'm going to sous vide the chicken breasts and finish them in a skillet to crisp the skin. I'll also make stuffing and steamed green beans.

My wife would argue that every dinner with me is the Feast of the Ass Dinner, but that's a whole other story.

Korean Stone Bowl, with Brown rice, sauteed shiitake mushrooms, bean sprouts, Chinese Spinach and a bunch of other stuff. Home made Spring Rolls and steamed vegetable buns.

I roasted a small slab of beef back ribs with bbq sauce and steamed some broccoli.

I'll have dinner after Tyler gets picked up. It's been raining for 2 days, the yard is flooded, little guy had his snack and his homework is done....now I have to find something for him to do inside to work off some of his energy.

You betcha! Oh man, med, I need some o' that for dinner. I'm craving something creamy, earthy, and pasta-y.

And on the feast day of my good buddy from Texas, Casey T. Dog. (He says the T stands for Tiberius, but don't be fooled.)

I cooked the breasts sous vide for an hour at 150ºF then deboned them and browned and crisped the skin in a skillet. This was outstanding! The meat was super juicy and tender. SO, originally skeptical because of the low cooking time, came around quickly when she tasted it. This sous vide recipe resulted in the most dramatic improvement over regular cooking I've experienced yet.

There are two diffrerent brands of spring roll wrappers sold at our local Asian Market. One holds up very well, the other not so well ( they burst when cooking). I make the spring rolls not often enough to remember which is the good brand. So, sure enough, I bought the bad brand of spring roll wrappers so, although they tasted good, 50% split open. I have now saved the packaging so I dont buy them again. Although, knowing me, Ill think I saved the packaging cause they were the good ones, and buy them again.
