Cashew-cauliflower curry, paneer butter masala, rice and naan

1 cup flour 1 cup cornstarch 1.5 tsp. salt 1 tsp. baking powder 12 ounces beer Let rest in fridge for 20 minutes before using it. Last night, chicken parmesean. My nephew is heading back to campus on Monday after doing last semester remote, so this week I am making all of his favorite dishes.

I never see it in the markets here either (not that I have been inside a market since March). It's always a treat when it comes in the fish share. Last night, miso glazed salmon over udon noodles with pea shoots

Fish and chips. The fish was cusk from my fish share.

Linguini with crushed olives

Chicken roti. I made a mango salsa to go with it because the curry was quite spicy and I wanted to be sure that my niece would eat it.

They are bouncy and light. I really like them. Last night, my sister and I made vegetable fried rice, garlicky broccoli, sesame chicken wings, and crabless rangoons.

Yes. It is Andrea Nguyen's recipe from her Banh Mi Handbook. I looked for the recipe online but could only find an incomplete version on google books. Basically you blend an onion, some sugar, cornstarch, egg white, and fish sauce in a food processor and then add the salmon. The salmon gets blended in briefly and then rested five minutes, after which it gets processed for a full minute. At the end you stir in the herbs of your choice (I use cilantro and sometimes add hot chiles), then you shape it into cakes and sauté until browned on both sides. Then you slice it on an angle to make it

Tuesday night I made banh mis. Salmon for everyone but my nephew I made his with pork leftover from the New Year's roast Last night we had chicken tortellini soup

Avocado toast with poached egg and Aleppo pepper

Hake baked in white wine and lemon with panko, roasted potatoes, green beans, and roasted romanesco

Chicken tacos

I made two proteins on New Year's Day since not everyone in my house eats pork. Roasted pork loin, which was roasted to 140 and served with a green peppercorn sauce And a maple-bourbon glazed chicken. Sides were creamed spinach and smashed sweet potatoes with carmelized apples.

I had a bizarre Instacart experience today. I am making pizza for dinner tonight, and realized yesterday that I did not have any mozzarella cheese. So, I placed an order for mozzarella, pecorino, risotto, and tomato passata. The order was dropped off, and had nothing in it but the tomato sauce, though the receipt said the cheeses had been shopped and charged. So, I called Instacart, they reached out to the driver and she came back with my cheese. The odd thing was that there was a jar of duck sauce and a bag of chow mien noodles in the bag that I did not order.

I did not like the two items together. They were fine alone, but together tasted odd to me. Last night, I made pecorino-mixed herbs breadsticks, and bucatini with clam sauce
