The food thread

An easy tomato-meatsauce with some cheesy blended carrots, cauliflower and parsnips instead of polenta.

BC Place Stadium is a dome. They used to have Dome Dogs and Dome Burgers. We replaced Dome with the word Doom for reasons apparent to anyone who partook in the offerings.
Gone are those days.
The offerings are top notch. But judging by the portions, I have to guess the large delivery trucks are not able to make it into the stadium.

Sundays are lazy days for me. Especially rainy days.

Just a quick tartine of that Diablo bread, mozzarella, S&P, garlic, cilantro and green onion. Fried in butter on low heat. Couple of sunny side up eggs, sriracha, cilantro and onion. Disposable plate because I am taking this upstairs and did I mention being lazy?!

Tony, this bread is amazing. I was considering a cheese and jalapeno sourdough, but that seemed too pedestrian for me. The heat level of this bread and flavor profile is a perfect match to so many different flavors. The missus has declared it her favorite and I'm very much thinking the same. I'm completely surprised by this result.

We get different kinds of spiced breads here, artisanal, not everywhere...
Fenugreek leaves, mint, cilantro, chilies, garlic flakes, spinach, onions (!), and so on are added, mostly separately.

You may have to adjust moisture in the dough.

There are bakeries here offering bread versions of the curry puff (which was flaky pastry), with potato sabji / chicken tikka / chicken curry / mince meat / mutton curry etc...

The dough is spread, the stuffing put on one half, dough folded and baked...it may be done in partly cooked bread, I have not seen the process.

Cheese and jalapeño is very common, either on bagels, croissant, or sourdough. I've seen gochujang flavored recipes which sound good and I have everything needed already, but didn't pique my interest. Then I realized I have several large bottles of sriracha, so got to thinking and researching. I'm glad I did this bread. I'm taking a couple slices with me to work and will absolutely have it toasted in evoo and some sardines or mackerel on it for lunch.
 
I buy my Sriracha by the gallon (136 oz). I just drained my last bottle tonight.... we only have three of them "large consumer size" bottles in reserve... just filled up the everyday bottle with the last of the gallon.

Yesterday there were NO gallon sized bottles at Tokyo Central or any of the local Korean supers. Hmm... they got it on Amazon! I just bought one. Maybe I should have bought two? I mean, I know, I know, my wife accuses of me of hoarding... sure I got like 30+ amps... not counting preamps, tuners, laserdiscs, VCRs, etc, etc, etc... but only ONE turntable.

We survived the Great Sriracha Missing Chili Sauce of 2022 or 2023.... something like that. We had three of them gallon bottles! We were wealthy... three gallons of Sriracha and over 300 rolls of Charmin. (*) ;-)

Phew.

Cal, move this if need be, I’m posting this here because Percy was my cooking buddy, he had no qualms with turning his nose away if my concoctions weren’t up to his standards!
He passed today from stomach cancer (hope my affection for hot peppers didn’t play into it!) thats why I haven‘t been cooking much lately, he required a lot of attention these last few weeks. Percy’s littermate Luna is still with us but she eats anything so isn’t really a reliable food tester.

He will be missed 😢

Bob

No need to move it Bob. Very sorry to hear about your loss. Human or not, they are family and when they hang out in the kitchen, helping Dad make something, it's all that much better and a closer relationship. I hope Percy was not in pain and left peacefully.
We lost my little buddy of 16.5 years back in July and there isn't a day goes by that I don't miss him. Greatest companion one could ask for. Always curious, always wanting to be involved. Always came with me and would always make sure my seat was warm when I returned.
Feel free to post as many pics as you like Bob.
It can help.

I saw some cool sandwich posts and thought I'd try one of my own variations.
Two birds in the nest, plain sourdough bread, hot cappicolo with blue cheese.
1/2 hour fried at low heat in a buttered pan with the lid on.
I never tried slow cooking one, but am glad the method appeared in this thread!

Thanks Cal,
Appreciate it, Percy was only 11 and still had some good years left if it weren’t for the cancer.
He didn’t seem to be in pain (vet also said there’s no pain with this particular problem) and we kept him around until his quality of life was over, in this case weakness just overtook him from malnutrition. Euthanizing was hard, but best.
Here he is as a puppy……I’ll try and put together a tribute meal of one of his favorites.

edit; thems some hellacious sandwich’s…….making me hungry!
