Greek Baby Back ribs on the grill with a potatoes, zucchini and red peppers roasted in the oven. Moe's breakfast yesterday and I took the same to work for lunch. And in the background, was the sourdough boule baked early yesterday morning.

I got a head start on last nights dinner, by getting the lamb shanks browned and the wine sauce made before leaving for work. Then all Moe had to do was put the covered cast iron pan in the oven around 3:00PM so that they were cooked by the time I got home from work. Then all I had to do was cook the vegetables. The lamb shanks were served on a bed of mashed potatoes with the wine sauce, rutabaga, carrots (for Moe) and asparagus.

Last night's dinner. Thai Green Curry Chicken.

I rinsed it first, but didn't soak it. It wasn't overly salty. Like a ham, not something I'm going to cook very often as it doesn't fit into the low sodium diet for Moe. Problem with the boiled corned beef is I just don't like it. Every time I made it, I would wonder why since neither of us really liked it. I can't remember where I got the slow roasted method, but it was a game changer. Might have been actually someone here on eGullet. https://thibeaultstable.com/2014/03/19/st-patricks-day-dinner-corned-brisket-and-leftovers/

I roasted a very small brined brisket yesterday for St. Patrick's Day. When I say small, I mean really small. Just enough leftover for the sandwich I made Moe for breakfast. I'm not a fan of boiled corned beef so for the last 12 years, I've used a different method. The meat is rubbed with fresh garlic and lots of black pepper and roasted it in the oven.

I made Shepherd's pies this morning, one for Moe's breakfast and I'm taking the other one for lunch.

We had one of my favourite meals last night - Oxtails with polenta and zucchini.

Last night's dinner was a rack of pork, stuffed with dried prunes and apricots. I hadn't roasted a rack of pork in awhile, and this was always a favourite recipe. Served with mashed potatoes and pork gravy, fresh asparagus and a acorn squash.

Moe's breakfast. Homemade potato pea samosas with a choice of a simple tamarind sauce I mixed up and a hot ginger chutney that I bought.

Moe has decided that he much prefers his big meal at breakfast, especially on the days that I work. Which works for me, because I'm up so early and have lots of time, so it is easy to make dinner for breakfast. And since I don't really care for eating early or traditional breakfast foods, I'm happy to take the same to work for lunch. Today's breakfast was our favourite roast beef dinner. Sterling Silver Top Sirloin, with all our traditional sides, including Yorkshire Puddings. Everyone is happy!!!

@Shelby, that is one beautiful Apple Galette. I always enjoy your catchup posts. Tonight's dinner. Wings and salad for two

I had two doughs with a three day fermentation in the fridge. Matt pulled one early yesterday morning and took 570g to make a large pizza. Greek Potato Pizza with a sourdough crust. And Moe and I had a Chinese Pork, Eggplant and Green bean dish for dinner.

Moe's breakfast. Leftover Chateaubriand sandwich.

Normally, I would have presalted the chicken breasts. But in this instance, I actually made the Duxelles and stuffed under the skin the night before, and didn't cook until after I got home from work yesterday. So the chicken was quite flavourful. This is actually a good dinner party dish as it can be made up to the point of stuffing early in the day or the night before. Tonight's dinner was probably not the best meal to decide to make on a worknight, but it was worth the wait. Chateaubriand with homemade Béarnaise Sauce. Roasted potatoes, green beans and cauliflower. Thanks to farm fresh free range eggs from a friend's chickens, the sauce was very yellow.

Last night's dinner. One I have been making for almost 25 years. Lucy Waverman's Chicken Perigord. Boneless chicken breasts with mushroom duxelles stuffed under the skin. Served with a wine sauce.
