Paneer butter masala, maharajah rice and naan. All Meera Sodha recipes.

The usual Tuesday night miso salmon noodle bowl. Last night's had ruby spinach, shiitake and king oyster mushrooms, and summer squash, plus the usual garlic/ginger/onion/cilantro/chiles and yet more roasted radishes. I think I have gotten the radish fridge count under 50--until Friday of course, when I am sure we will get more!

Haddock baked with soy, ginger, garlic, onion and cilantro. Broccoli steamed with a splash of soy and some butter. Rice.

I make this often in the winter, and second lindag's recommendation. It is excellent (as are many of the other recipes in the cookbook it's from--Barefoot in Paris). We also did pizza and movie night. Mushroom, pepper, onion and basil White pizza with mixed mushrooms

Luckily I found a home for the kohlrabi. I was talking with my Mom on the phone yesterday, and she mentioned that one of her friends adores kohlrabi. So, since I am going to my parents' home for dinner today, I am bringing along the kohlrabi for her to give to her friend. I have thrown them out into the yard for the squirrels in the past, but am not feeling particularly charitable towards them right now (had to chase one out of my garage last week). Dinner last night was (store bought) gnocchi, kale and mixed mushrooms sheet roasted together and piled on a sauce I made from roasted honey nut squash and shallots, with some parmesan on top.

The ones I have been getting are kind of big, a mix of daikons and watermelon radishes. I am not sure if they would steam well because they are so big. Though I have so many that it could be worth a try haha! I am getting even more in the CSA delivery today (along with a dreaded kohlrabi, ugh). Sometimes I get those little white turnips in the CSA and I agree that they are delicious steamed. I like them tossed in miso butter. Last night, a clear out the crisper drawer Thai flavored vegetable curry. It had eggplant, green beans, summer squash, lots of Thai basil, and cashews for crunch, plus the usual garlic/ginger/cilantro/fish sauce/lime/chile flavorings. Rice on the side.

Zuni Cafe chicken, with roasted radishes added to the salad because I have about 100 radishes in the refrigerator from my CSA right now.

My fish share offered local tuna as a special this week so we got some. I marinated it briefly in yuzu and oyster sauce, coated it in Everything but the Bagel seasoning and then seared it. I served it over soba noodles and bok choy tossed in a dressing made from miso, rice wine vinegar, mirin, ginger, cilantro, garlic, chili garlic sauce, etc.

We also had monkfish last night. My fish share included instructions on how to take the membrane off in the email that announced what we were getting this week. They've never done that before so I wonder if some people didn't know you had to remove it and complained about the texture on prior deliveries. I find that if the monkfish is more than a day or so old, the membrane is a pain to remove, but the monkfish we get in the fish share is so fresh that it comes right off. I roasted it with some cherry tomatoes, garlic, shallots, and olives and served it over linguine with a piece of homemade focaccia toasted and rubbed with garlic.

Crab cake with mustard dill sauce, oven fries, and salad

Last night my niece came home from college for the weekend, so I made a dinner of some of her favorites to counteract all of the instant ramen she has been eating in her dorm room. Miso salmon on rice with roasted kale, delicata squash and radishes that were brushed with a little miso, maple syrup, and butter. She was happy.

Yesterday was pretty warm so we decided to grill some chicken and corn. Grilled chicken on street corn off the cob, and a salad with romaine, avocado, red onion, and some mint dressing from last week that I found in the back of the fridge.

Husband wanted a burger last night Sister and I opted for egg sandwiches on homemade focaccia

I have never had lingcod, but based on what I read about it online, it does sound similar. The closest local to me fish that I can compare it to is probably monkfish. It's white and mild in flavor, but firmer than haddock, or Atlantic cod. We do not get it very often in the fish share because it is not well known, but I am always really happy when we do. It makes great chowder in the winter. Last night was "clean out the produce drawers" spaghetti. It had a sauce made from the rest of the cherry tomatoes roasted with some shallots and garlic, mixed with some roasted spiralized summer squash, a box of baby bella mushrooms also tossed with garlic and roasted on a separate sheet pan, and the rest of a bunch of peppery arugula chopped up and added at the end. Olives would have been good too but I put those in the fish last night.

More for me, then! 😋 My grandfather was an immigrant from Germany, and I do not remember him ever eating pumpernickel. Or any other German food for that matter. My biggest food memory of him is that he absolutely refused to eat onions in any form, because according to him it was one of the only foods his family could get to eat when he still lived in Germany as a child post WW1. This is the recipe I used, with an overnight chill in the fridge added after shaping. Maybe it is different than the pumpernickel you have in Germany. https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/pumpernickel-bagels-recipe

All of your pictures convinced me to buy this book. It arrived yesterday. I look forward to cooking from it! I baked a batch of pumpernickel bagels (my favorite flavor) Breakfast was a bagel with smoked salmon, cream cheese, red onions, and capers

Cusk roasted with peppers, onions, and olives with a parsley vinaigrette, and some sliced roasted potatoes.

Cedar planked salmon on a salad of arugula, roasted delicata squash, watermelon radishes, pistachios, and boursin cheese with an apple-currant-fennel relish and mint dressing. The salad recipe (minus the salmon) was included with my CSA delivery this week. We all enjoyed it and it used up a lot of stuff from the CSA. I am starting to get overwhelmed with radishes from them (I think I have about 40 in the fridge right now). A big plate of roasted radishes is definitely on the menu for this week.

Honey. There were two kinds of mushrooms. I ripped apart and par roasted the king oysters before combining them with sliced baby bellas, then I mixed them with light soy sauce, garlic, ginger, lemongrass, shallots, and a little bit of honey. Then I sautéed them until they were browned and sticky. Not traditional, but it tasted good. Last night, we also wanted pasta. Only my husband and I were home last night, so I made shrimp with garlic butter lemon sauce on linguini. Nobody else in the house eats shrimp.

My fish share offered mahi mahi as an optional add on this week so I got some with the rest of this week's delivery and made grilled fish tacos and some elote.

Great view! Please share where you eat. I am looking for some new ideas.

Ugh, the worst. I've broken my right wrist three times (all sports injuries--obviously I am not meant for sportsball). It has led to permanent loss of some strength in that wrist, which can make holding heavy pots with that hand to spoon stuff out a bit tricky. I hope you feel better soon.
