I'm sure that he appreciated your efforts though and that you were trying hard to make him feel at home and that you were interested in his homeland and culture.

PD

I think so, and we involved him as much as we could too. If I remember correctly, this was shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall, and with the political situation in the US and being from the former Eastern-European Soviet bloc (or there about), it was a tough time for him.

A hearty sandwich for breakfast and lunch for me:

Carmelized some red onions in a pan.  Reheated a leftover boiled purple potato.  Toasted a good-sized chiabata loaf.

Spread some chipotle mayo on both sides of the bread.  Topped with some of the red onions, sliced up some of the potato and put that on top.  Followed by some slices of avocado, tomato and s &p and arugula.  Pretty good!

Treated myself to a veggie meal.  Baked a nice-sized baking potato.  Whilst that was cooking, made your usual béchamel sauce, adding in some cheddar and a bit of nutmeg.  Also chopped up and cooked some broccoli.  Split open potato, put a goodly amount of the broccoli on top and then poured some of the cheese sauce on top of that.  Yum!

I've been enjoying my new kitchen.  It is so large and spacious and all the appliances are so great, it really makes cooking a snap!

Sorry, trying to remember here....I believe that you moved.  If so, very happy for you!  What dishes have you been cooking lately...particularly those that you didn't make before?  And, if so, what was the difference?

I haven't had that before (did a bit of quick googling).  Do you put pork in yours or....?

PD

[toledobass]

I did. I am visiting a friend and am in close proximity to an H-Mart (asian super grocery.) I got some pork belly there and used that.

When at home I'll often use bacon if I use pork at all, and many times, I make this without any pork too. Delicious all ways!

Oh, nice!  I'm lucky in that there's a nice-sized store in my area that specializes in Asian food.  They are also very nice and are happy to answer my questions and make suggestions; so much for me to learn and try cooking with!

I was given a large bag of frozen rhubarb, cooked it gently with a chopped orange, honey and demerara sugar and grated ginger,  A couple of spoonfuls of corn starch to thicken.   Orange and ginger were perfect.
