I just picked up my first curbside order from Wegman's. Order online, and they bring it out and load into your trunk. I was able to get everything I asked for with the exception of chicken. Well, she did throw in one package of boneless chicken thigh cutlets (I did not even know those were a thing), but it is not enough to feed everyone that it staying at my house right now so I put them in the freezer for later, when more chicken is acquired. My list was vegetable heavy and cleaning supply/tp free, which might be why I had such luck. You cannot order wine for curbside but they will deliver it to your house so that is arriving tomorrow. It was exactly noon as my husband and I left, and Trillium brewery is on our route home, so we stopped there and stocked up on good beer. Others were arriving at the same time, but everyone played nice and stood six feet apart. No kids, no coughing people. Husband wore a glove to work the card reader. My next order is coming from another local grocery that will deliver to the house and leave everything in your garage. I'm going to compare the two and decide which I like best for the long haul ahead.

Welcome back! Your meals looks delicious, and congratulations on your boy. Last night my husband, sister, niece and I all had miso roasted salmon with rice noodles in a creamy miso ginger sauce, with pickled carrots and bell peppers Nephew won't eat salmon, so I made him a huge chicken parmesan sandwich and oven fries. He ate the whole thing. He is 21 and has a bottomless pit for a stomach, as most guys that age seem to. He is also thin as a rail. My grocery budget is going to have to vastly expand...

Made some crispy french toast for my niece's breakfast this morning. I'm not a big sweets person in the AM, so plain toast for me.

linguini with lemon and spinach topped with sautéed swordfish

summer squash zoodles with Indian-spiced chicken, mango, and minted yogurt.

My household has expanded as my nephew's college closed campus for the rest of the semester and my niece's high school did the same. They opted to move in here as my wifi is faster than at their Mom's house, and they will be going to school online for the rest of the academic year. Mom lives one town over, so has been coming for dinner every night, and as soon as her office closes down (likely tomorrow), she is moving in too. I have one more bedroom left; any takers? 🙂 All meals for the foreseeable future will be served family style. I skipped photos for the first few days while I adjusted to this new routine, but here is tonight's dinner. Crabless crab rangoons (nephew is allergic to crustaceans) Fried rice with not enough vegetables for the younger ones to object (and especially none of my niece's DREADED PEAS) Chicken and pepper stir fry

J. Kenji Lopez-Alt has an article in today's New York Times about how to cook with plant-based meats. There are some interesting sounding recipes. I have one more package of Impossible Burger languishing in my freezer, and might use it to make one of his suggested recipes. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/03/dining/impossible-beyond-meat.html

I tried to send it to you privately. It was good but not in my "must make again" file. Tonight, two different proteins. We are like Jack Sprat and his wife. Chicken schnitzel with fries and salad Waygu flatiron steak with same salad and fries, and truffle butter

Here is the tagine recipe (the first of the three recipes in the article) https://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/02/18/magazine/recipes-3-chicken-stews-soups-that-skip-searing-step/ And the rice: https://food52.com/recipes/72155-instant-pot-moroccan-spiced-rice I cooked it in my rice cooker, not in the instant pot. I bought an instant pot about a year ago but it's still in the box haha

Tagine of chicken, tomato, butternut squash, olives, apricots, and spinach with pistachio-cilantro topping, with spiced rice.

I do. I have this: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B001B8G4R8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I bought it about 10 years ago and it does not look like it is available anymore. It folds down for storage. I have it set up in my small dining room, which is adjacent to my main kitchen (I have two dining rooms and two kitchens, weird house haha). I keep my camera on a tripod in there so I can just pop the plate in and take a quick picture on the way to the table. We rarely eat in that room so it's not in the way.
