    Tell me more about the carbonara. Looks great, and I love a good carbonara. What recipe did you use?

    Looks amazing as usual @caliking ! What’s that on the side?
    Thanks! Its some kind of skinny green eggplant from the garden. EVOO, balsamic, S&P, then roasted in the big clock in the kitchen.

    been seeing those skinny eggplants in the asian section, must be 4 or 5 kinds. i think those would be thai. i know they are between the golf ball ones and the rainbow colored ones. until covid there was just the big purple italian ones...
    caliqueen tells me they were Green Knights. They were slightly bitter, and may have tasted better made some other way, like in a stew or braise.

    I doubled the recipe, and used pecorino + grana padano. The sauce was more like a paste when I was about to load it into the SV, so I added 2 more yolks (total 6). Probably could have easily added 2 more. I also had to thin the sauce with reserved pasta water, after pulling it out of the bath.

    Well worth the effort, though. Pretty forgiving, and the sauce was silky smooth.

    Are you just assuming that he knows that you added a bunch of garlic?

    Goes without saying. An unspoken understanding.

    Thanks for that. Even though she doesn’t like it, my partner makes excellent fresh pasta and I may just have to press her into service.

     Both  of you may be surprised to learn that I showed uncharacteristic restraint, and... didn't add any garlic! Didn't hold back on the garlic for the caprese salad, though :smiley:

    Carbonara is supposed to be guianciale, eggs, and pecorino (Or, grana padano. Or, parmesan). We usually add garlic, and onions, but I resisted the urge this time. I will probably add them the next time, now that I have a feel for how this recipe works.

    Reduced and glazed with some sweet tea, honey, blended fruit (seedless tangelo, cherries, pineapple), brown sugar, tad bit of teriyaki sauce, molasses, little bit of salt, ground clove, cumin and garlic powder.  Gonna pull it in a few minutes once the last round of glaze sets in.  Aroma is killer. 


    A good chunk of that would be in my belly, before that ham could make it back into the house

    @caliking , thx, the family and I enjoyed it. Hawaiian roll ham and cheese sliders are in store for lunch. And of course saved the bone for a pot of beans. The post oak and olive smoke is my favorite go-to blend.  Try it if you haven’t already.

    Love "re-smoked" ham. Mine don't usually turn out looking as sexy as the one you just did, though. What temp were you running?

    Not Egged.  Had a orphan 1.5 lb. chuck roast to use up.  Cubed, SPG coating, sauteed in Instant Pot, then packaged soup mix added.  20 min at high pressure.  End of season habanero garnish for my bowl.  Quick and dirty nothing cook, but was really good...

    Perfect fixing for cool weather!

    Grew a habanero plant for the first time this summer, love it, haven't finished harvesting yet since we use it sparingly. FWIW, we use a pair of scissors to nibble it without touching, not fun if you transfer it to your eyes or wherever  =)  We are also going to cook (quick stir fry with garlic) the leaves, guessing it should be similar to chili plant leaves, delicious.
