Lobster Thai Fried Rice and Indian

Lobster Fried Rice

Chicken Tikka and Raita

We had dinner at Newport Seafood and brought home the leftover Lobster. We used the lobster to make Thai Lobster Fried Rice. You can get the recipe from our blog of: April 4, 2013. Click the date to get the recipe. We have made this dish many times and love it. For some reason this was the best version we have ever made. I am not sure exactly why, but I sure like the trend line!

Shumon made Chicken Tikka and loved using our broiler to char the chicken! In addition he made a Raita using Pomegranates. It was a delicious multi-ethnic dinner.

Birthday Cake

Robert and Darryl generously offered to cook a birthday dinner for Cathy. It centered around Cote de Boeuf from McCalls Meat and Fish. All of the food was exceptional. We should make this a yearly event! Scott and Tom had given Cliff for his birthday some exceptional wine that we featured at this dinner. We can't get over how professional the food preparation was. It was like dining in a fine restaurant, except we didn't get a bill! Many kudos to Darryl and Robert for this great dinner.

Salmon and Potatoes

We still had more Smoked Salmon. Another great use of it is to serve it with crispy potatoes. We made Wolfgang Puck's Lyonnaise Potatoes. These potatoes are very crispy and are layered with sautéed onions. With a Salad it was a perfect use of the salmon. You can get the recipe for the Lyonnaise Potatoes on our blog of: June 23, 2012.

Salmon Donburi

We had lots of leftover Smoked Salmon from the salmon that we smoked on the egg. One of our favorite uses for leftover salmon is: Nobu's Scrambled Eggs Donburi. This is a delicious use of salmon. Rather than topping with caviar with topped with crunchy Ochazuke Wakame. You can get this at an asian market or on-line at Amazon.

Smoked Salmon

One of favorite uses of the egg is to smoke salmon. McCalls Meat and Fish had a beautiful 3lb wild salmon filet that we knew would be perfect for dinner and would provide us with lots of leftovers.

We made the recipe for Honey-Cured, Smoked Salmon. Salmon calls for smoking with Apple Wood chips. The egg makes it a simple procedure to smoke a salmon, the only real task is to check it every 15 minutes to make sure the temperature is in the requisite range. I simply open and close the vents as required to adjust the airflow. I occasionally add additional wood chips to keep the smoke going.

With the salmon we served Rice and a Mango Salad. I didn’t like the color of the salad (too brown) although it tasted fine. I wouldn’t make it again.

Steak & Apple Pie

Another beautiful steak from McCalls Meat and Fish. We had just returned from India and we were ready for some red meat!

With the steak we had an Apple Pie from McCalls. How American can you get?
