Tonight I'm trying Thai/Chinese yard-long* beans for the first time in a stir fry ... they're readily available in a few Asian places in Cork area

Speaking of tacos, my favorite tacos in the Monterey area are:
Downtown: Lopez liquor store. All the tacos inside are great. Get some and go to the beach.
Near the aquarium: El Cantaro, a vegan taqueria. Spectacular. Everything is good. Speaking as a not vegan.
In Seaside: Seafood tacos at Barba Azul, with a rice plate. What I get when I’ve had a stressful day at work. With the cucumber agua fresca.
In Salinas: Tacos Pacheco
Tomorrow is my 6th anniversary of switching to a whole-food non-animal diet. I continue to enjoy that whole approach, and yesterday I made a terrific bean salad with black sorghum, with guacamole as the dressing.

Finally, the #ChilliJamWithComplexFlavours is done. I have just turned it off - I had to turn it off when I had to go out for meetings, so finished its low-heat cooking tonight. Once it cools, I'll put it into jars. There'll also be some beautiful chilli oil as a side product.
It is interesting how it is made. It has a fair amount of oil in the pureed mix of chillies, onions and garlic. Over the hours of cooking over low heat, the puree is "roasted" in the oil, developing the layered flavours. After 12'ish hours, dark sugar and tamarind are added, and it is further cooked for 2 hours.
I never realised about the roasting before as I have always used all red chillies. This time I used a mix of red and green, so in the beginning, with the onions, it was a pale mixture.
After cooking overnight in the slow cooker, it was a dark red colour. Beautiful. Altho the mix of chillies gives a slightly different flavour.
The original recipe was from #ChristineManfield and is in her books #Stir and #Spice. #AustralianAuthor It is a very SE Asian style chilli sauce/jam.
The house will smell of chillies for several days no doubt.
A restaurant chef in Shiga Prefecture has developed a cheesecake using an ingredient from funazushi, one of Japan’s pungent traditional sushi types known as narezushi. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/05/13/japan/stinky-sushi-cheesecake/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #fish #shiga #food #rice #sushi

@pomological Rome Beauty remains the best keeper apple for storage over the winter. An orchard near me continues to have some available, but they have reduced the number of trees of Rome Beauty in favour of more recently developed varieties. Last year was not a good year for apples here in Ohio, and the orchard sold out of the few Rome Beauty apples they had before I was able to get there. I hope that this autumn, I shall once again be able to find Rome Beauty at the orchard.

“We urge states to join the humanitarian convoy by dispatching official diplomatic missions – at the highest possible level – to accompany the aid trucks already waiting at the Rafah Crossing, and to enter Gaza alongside them.”
“This is a human imperative. A Diplomatic Humanitarian Convoy would mark a historic step to break the siege, end the starvation, and affirm the world’s rejection of hunger as a weapon of war.”

The #ChilliJamWithComplexFlavours cooked overnight in the slow cooker, and I've just added the sugar and tamarind. I also had a taste - it is <explitive> hot! But sweet and layered.
This is the first time I have cooked it in a slow cooker. I don't think it is quite as good as using the lowest of heats on the stove. Next time it will be back on the stove, even tho it needs more attention over the day.
