Lime leaves www.thespruceeats.com/makrut-lime-...

"Makrut lime leaves are the Asian equivalent to bay leaves."

"The flavor is bright, fresh, distinctly citrus, with more lime than lemon but without the same sharpness of the Western fruits."
All About Makrut Lime Leaves and How to Cook With Them
Makrut lime leaves are an herb with a bright, fresh citrus flavor. A key ingredient in Thai cooking, they are added to soups, curries, and stir-fries.

Went to the new Oidé Coffee location at the Waterfall Building near Granville Island.

Black sesame pastry is very tasty!

Cocktail orange for breakfast. Also known as a mandelo, for “Mandarin + Pomelo”.

All citrus are actually hybrids of mandarin, pomelo, and citron (chart via Wikipedia).

I collected some links on the FoodWiki and learned about the UC Citrus Experiment Station.

Jazzed my way through making a beef stew with lots of onions, red wine, and roasted red peppers.

It’s similar to Spanish Chilindron, when I went to go look for recipes afterwards.

I was thinking about paprika, but just added some tomato paste & Calabrian chillies right at the end.

Trying out Phở Jade “the place for noodle soup lovers”.

It’s got a pretty big menu. I tried a large bowl of pho with all the meats to get a baseline.

It’s good! Fragrant floral broth.

Anyone else misses Nahar Cafe in Paddington/London? Closed around 2007 and was one of the best Malaysian 🍜 cafes around. Been there all the time. A Boxing Day visit was a must. We needed spice!
Ahhhh, better times...

I made lasagna yesterday. Like most of my cooking, I just sort of winged it.

I did buy some ingredients earlier in the week, including Italpasta Oven Ready Lasagna Noodles.

Here’s the package recipe, also on FoodWiki along with notes on my own recipe.

Did you know that Skipper Otto community supported fishery has multiple #EastVan community pick up spots?

I’m picking up my last order of the season at the Off the Rail Brewing spot on Adanac off Clark: conveniently just a couple of blocks from my house.

Another lunch at Truck Stop Café.

Rachael got her usual, a classic burger and fries.

I got a picture of the weekly lunch specials, and decided to try one of their Chinese dishes, the Tuesday special: sweet and sour pork with chow mein and fried rice AND daily soup.

Stopped in at Columbus Meat Market today.

Didn’t buy the stuffed quail but they look so cute.

At home shot of rolled Italian meatloaf I did buy. Ground beef, bread crumbs, cheese, arugula, pancetta.

Brown, then finish by braising in tomato sauce in the oven.

Truck Stop Café yesterday for lunch: all day breakfast, the Truck Stop Chef’s Special: scrambled eggs with cheddar, 2 sausage, 2 bacon, white toast, hash browns (house made potatoes, just so nice and crisp).

The diner coffee is surprisingly good, too.

On Clark at Napier in East Van.

Bought some paneer and made up a yam & leek curry to put it in foodwiki.bmann.ca/October%2520...

Paneer is a “basic kind of non-melting cheese used in Indian cuisine”. A non-aged, fully vegetarian cheese that just uses acid for curdling (no rennet).

Found a German leek tart recipe that has a touch of sexism in the description.

Apparently this is great to eat with wine from the region. And not only men like wine drinking!

“The female sex also enjoys such pleasures, especially in this age of emancipation”

My code name is Max Umami.

I use miso a lot to round out flavouring. Also a tube of anchovy paste.

Bakers used to call small round cakes “nuts” - hence doughnuts & gingernuts.

With the Win Full Ramen that I posted about, I’ve been making quick soups for lunch.

Here’s pulled pork, 1 Tbsp gochujang, cherry tomatoes, carrots, & shallots. Finished with a splash of sesame oil.

Spicy & flavourful, and in no way “ramen” other than the noodles!
