Ii made polenta last night. Topped with wine braised short ribs for the beef eaters Mushrooms for the non-beef eaters

Tuesday we had cod in a coconut broth with ginger, garlic and lemongrass, and some cilantro rice Last night was pomegranate molasses glazed salmon with a black-eyed pea, walnut and pomegranate salad Both recipes are from America's Test Kitchen.

We got 17 inches of snow yesterday. Chicken noodle soup and popovers for dinner

One of my favorite restaurants on Cape Cod used to make a deep fried tempura avocado stuffed with spicy tuna. It was soooo good. I've been meaning to try and make it at home, so am printing out the instructions above. Here is a picture of it. My family was very sad when it came off the menu!

Pepperoni pizzas baked in a cast iron skillet for my nephew. I prefer thin crust pizza but he likes the thick kind.

pan bagnat

Spaghetti and meatballs

Last night I made a coconut curry salmon stew with cilantro rice. The stew recipe was from the NY Times Cooking app. I added some fish sauce and Thai basil, and fresno chiles. The rice was made last week and reheated from frozen It was quick and tasty.

Is that a pizza slice shaped plate? I've never seen anything like that before. Your pizza looks amazing, as always! 🙂 I made crispy fish sandwiches last night

Tonight we had Martha's Vineyard bay scallop pasta with garlic, lemon, white wine and parsley. I'm breaking in my new camera and am starting to think I am going to keep my old one for food photos and use the new one for everything else. I just really like my old camera. Old camera sits on a tripod all the time. Maybe if I moved the new one to the tripod I would be happier with the results. Old camera: New camera: It was delicious either way 🙂

Adults had swordfish udon noodle bowls with mushrooms and edamame Niece does not like swordfish so she got sesame crusted tuna with avocado and rice

Wednesday we had cod veracruz with some cilantro rice Thursday was roasted salmon with salsa verde, lime rice, and a shaved zucchini salad with queso fresco and pepitas And that took care of the rest of the huge haul my fish share gave me (except for one pound of cod that I froze to make into chowder later)

Warm lobster rolls for the husband Scallop boat for me

I am in a fish share and pickup day is Monday. Yesterday my husband and I ordered scallops (1 lb) and lobster meat (1 lb) in addition to our usual 2 lbs. of salmon and 2 lbs. of local fish (we split the share with my sister and her daughter). I thought the bag seemed heavy when I picked it up. The share gave us 2.5 lbs of cod, 2 lbs. of salmon, 1.5 lbs of scallops, and 2 lbs. of lobster meat! They put a note on the bag saying to enjoy the extras and thanking us for our business. Needless to say we will be eating fish all week! Last night I made a pasta with some of the lobster and scallops My niece won't eat either so she got avocado toast More lobster and scallops tonight...I am not complaining!

Tuesday night, salmon BLTs Wednesday night, Thai basil chicken Last night we just scarfed a wheel of Harbison cheese with a baguette and some pickly things so no picture.

Braised cod Provencal

Catching up on photos from the week. I made breadsticks to go with spaghetti and meatballs Friday night we had breakfast pizza Saturday I made fish chowder and popovers for the adults. No picture of the chowder but here are the popovers Niece won't eat chowder so I made her mini croquet madames and oven fries Yesterday I made butter fan rolls Chicken schnitzel with mushroom sauce, twice baked potatoes, spinach and butternut squash All the baked goods recipes are from the cookbook Bread Illustrated.

Vegetable ramen with eggs

Glazed salmon with baby boy choy and rice

Braised cod peperonata with garlic toast

The recipe I posted above is a classic New England creamy chowder. If that is the style you are looking for, that recipe is about as close to perfect as you can get. Like rotuts, I am also from Boston (in fact I am looking out my window at Fenway Park right now :-) ) I know my chowders. Trust me and try it, you will like it :-)

I made a good dent in my freezer stash this weekend. The turkey meatballs, the italian sausage, and two bags of tomato sauce were served over pasta for dinner on Saturday. On Sunday, the boneless chicken thighs and breasts got made into the ranch fried chicken I posted on the Super Bowl thread, and a quart of the carmelized onions were used to make Ina Garten's onion dip for the game. Nothing new was added to the freezer either, so I am feeling pretty accomplished :-)

We ate before the game, mostly to give people the chance to do something other than pace around the house waiting for the game to start haha. I made a big salad and a pot of macaroni and cheese, a big tray of fried chicken and some ribs in the slow cooker I made some dips and stuff for the actual game but everyone was too full to eat any of them. We all heartily approved of the outcome of the game. Duck boat parade at 11AM tomorrow.

Yesterday I baked a loaf of Japanese milk bread And this morning I ate some toasted with marmalade that my husband brought back from London

Crabcakes from the Waters cookbook (could have used more binder but the flavor was excellent) with oven fries. There was a salad also but you'll have to trust me on that 🙂 Niece won't eat crab because her brother has a crustacean allergy so I made her a cheese soufflé
