We currently have an "only big" stockpot. It's aluminium, and has gotten a horrible layer of unremoveable scale. It's also, old, crappy, slightly warped, and is not oven-safe at all. It wasn't big enough for this anyway, so we used the oven roasting pan, but we're looking to replace/upgrade our stock pot to an Army-Sized one soon. Just need to find a decent deal, maybe on Craigslist or something.

I might! The ones in Toronto aren't an especially good deal or anything though - hipster kids and other urban types get the same idea often enough that their prices are usually the same as some frou-frou housewares store.

Chickpeas, grape tomatoes, and green onions, sauteed in olive oil with garlic and basil.

I've read that chickpeas, drizzled with oil and roasted, make a good grab-a-handful-to-pop-in-your-mouth snack. This bears investigation...

or dare I say

owlbears investigation :>

I didn't make enough dinner today. So... Looking at that is pretty crushing.

So, I made chili. Like, no-recipe, off-the-top-of-my-head chili.

Chuck steak in seasoned flour, onions, roasted poblanos and jalepenos, tomatoes and tomato paste, kidney beans, cumin, paprika, cayenne. I think that's it.

What is my chili lacking?

A dash of vinegar, or I suppose a wine.
Also, yeah, more beans.
You can cheat and go for maybe barley, rice, or some other kind of "healthy" grain staple if you're not feeling enough beans.

dat salmon

What'd you do to it???

It was mostly the quality of the fish.  I don't live in salmon country, so the grocery store generally stocks that gross artificially colored, pre-frozen stuff.  Lo and behold, I go to the grocery store and they're stocking fresh Copper River sockeye filets RIGHT NEXT to the artificially-colored crap and the contrast is just astounding.  I immediately buy a whole filet and take it home.

First things first, I take a piece and just eat it straight up bear-style.  Friggin' delicious.  I then broil up a second piece and cut up the rest of the portions for the freezer.

This picture came from a piece that had actually been in the freezer for a week.  I was amazed at how well the texture kept after thawing.

The preparation was straight up EZ-mode.  Salt and pepper on the meat side, salt on the skin, placed skin up in a broiling pan.  Broil until skin is crispy.  Bam, you have a delicious rare salmon steak.

The best part about that picture is that it wasn't even planned.  I flaked off a piece of salmon and went hooooly shit that's so beautiful and pulled out my camera.

Ah, the lack of beans was on account of living with picky eaters. We have about a million cans of black beans we can't eat because one person doesn't like them. Kidney beans were all I could sell, but yes, noted, more beans and some acid.

Mercury is distributed throughout the muscle tissue, but by and large most other contaminants are absorbed by the skin. Apparently there's lots of omega-3 in there but you'd really rather get that from other stuff that's not infused with various industrial whatsits.

yeah, I'm finding mixed results and nothing peer-reviewed on actually dangerous levels of toxins.  even this hippy granola site that says to avoid eating most salmon skin is okay with wild-caught alaskan salmon.

Pretty sure the issue is mostly with farmed salmon.

That seems to be the case, the only stuff I'm pulling up on pubmed deals with "farmed Atlantic" salmon.  I guess it's good to know for the future, but not personally relevant since I don't buy that stuff to begin with, and in fact railed against it in my original post.

Also, copper river salmon prices are nosediving as the season for it winds down.  It started out at our counter for $29.99 a pound and now it's down to $14.99 a pound, and places that don't rhyme with Goal Dudes might have it for even more reasonable sums.  And that shit is amazing.

THAT SAID i mostly came here to glare at all of you
