Everyone is eating well. So many great dinners. We had simple grilled burgers for dinner tonight. And homemade potato chips.

Djyee I cheated a little. I caramelized the onions first and set them aside. Next I browned the sausage (Pork Bangers from a local butcher). I also pulled a container of leftover roast pork and sage gravy from the freezer and added that to the pan along with the onions. Ann

Oh my!!!! That jungle curry looks amazing. That's a breakfast that would make both Moe and I happy. He would have his eggs and I've have curry and rice. Kim, your pancakes look perfect to me. Just the way I make my buttermilk pancakes. I like them on the thin side so I thin out the batter. I picked up some farm fresh eggs from one of the local farms and made poached eggs for yesterday's breakfast.

Shuttersaute I like the seasoning you used on the pork tenderloin. Also I really enjoy your blog. Bruce, I'd be very happy with your Chicken Vindaloo and Jamhl's Chicken Cacciatore. Dinner last night was influenced by Djyee's Bangers and Mash.

Big Mike Perfect Table cloth for Italian Night. DCarch, Nice plating. Bruce, You and your wife are the perfect team. Salmon dinner looks delicious. Pizza Margarita.

Blether, Glad you are safe. Kim, I'm not craving pork tacos. David, I haven't made short ribs recently. My mouth is watering looking at yours. I love the potato pancake side. Friday night's dinner - Seared Scalloped over a simple pasta.

Djyee What a great dinner. My husband loves anything with fried onions. I know that this is a dinner that he would be thrilled with. I work the next four days and I think this would be an easy meal to make for dinner. Just need to pick up some sausage. What kind of sausage did you use? Bruce I would love one your "grownup" tacos. DC, who cares if it is authentic, your Gumbo looks delicious. Yesterday was a "play in the kitchen" day. I made...... Rye Bread, French Baguettes, Tuna Pate, Homemade pasta and a pot of Bolognese Sauce.

OH MY!!!! Sauternes and Pate de foie gras. Rarerollingobject I want to eat breakfast at your house. In honor of Pancake Tuesday I made Potato Pancakes for breakfast. Moe has his with Canadian Back Bacon and I had mine topped with sour cream, minus the bacon.

Heidih I used fresh grated breadcrumbs. Sauted them in butter, seasoned with minced garlic, salt, pepper and parsley. Sprinkled on the halibut and squeezed a lemon over the fish before baking in a 450°F oven for about 10 minutes. Dejah No, I don't use an egg wash. Your burgers look great. Just so you know, I use my cheater version of the Avgolemono sauce. Made with a roux, chicken broth and lemon juice, minus the eggs. You don't have to worry about it curdling. Ann

Cass Now that is a pizza. Perfect crust. Baked halibut was on the menu last night. Ready for the oven Ten minutes later.

DCarch, I love how you shape forks. Beef for dinner last night. Presalted Sirloin Tip Roast - Roasted - high heat method- (500°F)

Moe (Maurice) is my husband of many years. I guess I should have said ...... I made crepes for Moe's breakfast. Ann

Kim The chicken was stuffed with just a sage bread stuffing. I'm glad you liked the gorgonzola garlic bread. Djyee I would love your strata for dinner. Last night's dinner was a baked chicken pulao.

Andiesenji I love the idea of chili verde sauce with eggs. Next time I make Pork chili verde I'll be stealing your idea. Blether We share the same favourite breakfast. Being originally from Ontario, Peameal Bacon has always been my favourite. I can buy Canadian Back Bacon but peameal bacon was difficult to come by here on the west coast. Thankfully the new Walmart sells it by the Kilo piece. I thought I had died and gone to heaven the first time I found that they stocked as a regular item. We had toasted peameal bacon and tomato sandwiches for breakfast yesterday. And this morning I made Moe crepes.

Blether, The pate is topped with an aspic and the stems were made with blanched green onion and the flowers from tomato skin. Ann

My favourite recipe for chicken liver pate is Jacques Pepin's. It doesn't contain eggs but it does have three sticks of butter.

Dejah Your dinner looks delicious. The meatballs do freeze well. Dakki We had a similar dinner. Halibut Fish and Chips. I made a beer batter and Double fried the chips.

Emily, The rhubarb had just started to thaw when it went into the pie plate. It was still more frozen than thawed. The pie probably took about five minutes longer to bake than it normally would have. Ann

Harrysnapperorgans and Blether Thank you for your comments on my pie. Thanks Emily, I used the last of my frozen rhubarb. In order to compensate for the excess moisture I added a little extra flour. I didn't measure, but it was probably a couple of teaspoons. That took care of the problem. Dinner last night was Broccoli and Chicken Turnovers. Made using frozen puff pastry. I poached a couple of chicken breasts, steamed some broccoli and made a cream sauce seasoned with thyme and finished with fresh grated Parmesan cheese.

I've been using Judy Roger's (Zuni) pre-salting method now for a number of years. I use this method for all meats, not just chicken and turkey. I salt and then wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Unwrap and let air dry in the fridge for 12 to 24 hours before roasting/grilling. Ann

Bruce, as always your dinner looks amazing. Tonight I boned and stuffed a whole (double) chicken breast and sides were mashed potatoes,rutabaga and peas. It snowed all day today so I baked a rhubarb pie so I could pretend it was spring.

Blether You have the most interesting breakfasts. I wouldn't mind roast pork in the morning. Made Moe a Potato Frittata for Breakfast with a side of fried mushrooms.

Dejah, My husband would be thrilled with your crab feast. You can find the meatball recipe here. RobirdTX, your fish looks perfectly cooked. Great picture. Sunday night's dinner was Italian Style Baked Halibut. Served with roasted potatoes and sauted spinach. and last night we had Greek again. Greek ribs with potatoes AND rice and a Greek Salad.

Kim, I'm glad you enjoyed the Corn Custard. I'm not sure which one I want more - Dejah's Ribs or Menuinprogress's Turkey Enchiladas. Both have my mouth watering. We had dinner with our neighbours Friday night To start we had a simple and very quick appetizer of warm goat cheese on little cocktail toasts topped with a toasted walnut and a drizzle of olive oil. Dinner was pasta with a sausage and rosemary sauce with Gorgonzola Garlic Bread. Another dinner this week - Greek Meatballs made with ground chicken breasts instead of pork/beef. Although they should have been served with other Greek sides, it was a work night so I opted for something easy and served them over egg noodles.

I had a little prime rib left from last night's dinner so I made a quick prime rib hash with poached eggs for Moe's breakfast.
