Spicy ground turkey stir fry with crispy garlic and ginger. We all liked the flavor but thought the dish needed more vegetables.

@Kim Shook I almost made that sausage and apple recipe last night too! But, I ended up going for just plain broiled sausages, with some spaetzle, applesauce and braised red cabbage. Right when I was getting ready to make dinner I got a text from my nephew that he was being sent home from college to quarantine because one of his coworkers in the dining hall tested positive for COVID. I had one hour to get part of my house ready for him to stay in. I am lucky that I can close off a part of my house so he can quarantine comfortably without interacting with anyone, but it was still stressful running around (and I forgot some stuff in my second now off limits kitchen that I wish I had brought over). This dinner was a lot easier than my original plan.

Salmon lo mein with red and yellow bell peppers, red onions, pea shoots, and carrots

Haddock and kimchi stew with rice

For the past couple of weeks, on Saturday I use the website random.country to choose a cuisine to try. This week I got Morocco. I made seven vegetable couscous and khobz. The vegetables are onion, garlic, cauliflower, turnip, carrot, cabbage and tomato (a fruit but I am counting it to get to seven). The dish also has chickpeas, golden raisins and cilantro.

Cheese souffle and a vegetable toast recipe that came with this week's CSA delivery. It's lightly pickled watermelon radishes, apples, onions, turnips and carrots on toast spread with a pea shoot aioli. We all liked it.

Tonkatsu seems to be a popular choice recently! I made mine with chicken

Angel hair with tomato-basil sauce

Miso salmon and udon noodles stir fried with carrots, daikon radish, and pea shoots

Coconut curry monkfish

Friday was pizza night. Margharita Mushroom Pepperoni Carbonara Yesterday I baked some pita and made chicken shawarma. There was also a large salad not pictured

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 easy to eat in a sandwich. It's one of my go-to meals when my fish share gives me thin tail pieces of salmon (which they have been doing a lot lately, sigh).

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.
