Thanks for the report, always nice to see the Provincetown views from where you stay.

Saturday, sticky chicken wings with broccoli, rice, and cream cheese wontons Sunday I did not feel like cooking a big dinner so we just had sandwiches. Everyone made what they wanted. I only took a picture of mine, which was a mushroom cheesesteak. Husband had a burger, sister had a caprese, and niece just ate leftovers from Saturday before heading to skating practice. Last night, rigatoni with spicy turkey meatballs

Orzo with kale and Parmesan, topped with some sautéed chicken marinated in lemon and garlic.

Another recipe from Milk Street, the World in a Skillet. Stir fried eggplant and sweet peppers with miso. I added some spinach to bump up the veggie variety. I would have preferred a spicier dish (hence all the sriracha on my rice) but my sometimes spice averse niece really liked it.

We were in Falmouth until Friday. The house we were in was right on a seawall. We had a mild storm while there and the waves were already coming over the wall and into the yard then. I can only imagine what happened during the nor'easter! I didn't bother with a food report since most meals were pretty blah, with the exception of Water Street Kitchen in Woods Hole. I am sure you are having better eats out there in Provincetown. Enjoy the blustery beach for me! 🙂

Monday, spicy bucatini with olives and capers Last night, a recipe from the final issue of Cook's Country magazine for chipotle-lime chicken and rice with pickled radishes, served with a big salad

It could be a nostalgia thing. Where I went to college, the most popular pizza place used to make pizzas with crazy toppings, and we all thought they were the greatest thing ever. My favorite had tortellini on it! I am sure if I ate it now I would get sick haha Last night, another recipe from Milk Street's The World in a Skillet: sweet and savory skillet steamed eggplant. Everyone really liked this one too, the eggplant was very creamy and flavorful.

I recently picked up a Milk Street cookbook on a 50% off sale: The World in a Skillet. The other night I made the spicy Korean-style braised cod. The recipe called for 3 tbsp. gochujang in the sauce, and I used two, because I thought it would be too spicy for my niece otherwise. I omitted the potatoes and/or daikon radish called for in the braise because I was out of both. Instead, I tripled the greens, using a mix of spinach and baby bok choy since that's what I had in the house. Everyone really liked it, clean plates all around.

I just boiled the eggs for 6 1/2 minutes, then peeled and submerged them in a container filled with diluted soy sauce and a big splash of mirin and let them sit until dinner time.
