Bizarre combo, but it does taste good because of the sweet/salty thing...baked tofu with very thinly sliced celery, grape tomatoes, roasted pepper, cantaloupe...with some of the leftover lime/fish sauce dressing from last night's dinner. Trying to make use of odds and ends.

A refreshing dinner after all of that seafood (and bread) last night...rice noodles (vermicelli) with a dressing of fresh lime juice, fish sauce, brown sugar, oil, little coconut milk, a little bit of grated onion and garlic. Mixed with matchstick cut english cuke, orange bell, carrot, fresh basil (didn’t have cilantro), chopped peanuts. Sauteed some cubed chicken breast and mixed in. Very tasty, and have some leftover dressing for tomorrow’s lunch.

Lunch from the pantry/fridge. Had a piece of baguette in the freezer, defrosted and toasted. Some nice fresh mozz, sliced, roasted red and yellow peppers from jar, fresh basil, drizzle of balsamic glaze. Would have made a nice photo but I had to push the cat away with one hand.

Oof, knew I should have stocked up, syrup keeps for a long time...

I used the darkest and next darkest maple syrups from the gift sampler pack since I was cooking savory...I liked the darker syrups, they have a more intense maple flavor. Would probably be nice for using in baked goods where you want a stronger maple flavor to come through. Not sure if I'll be getting back to TJ's any time soon to be able to grab any more of these maple syrup gift packs, but I'd repeat the purchase.

Chanukka at my house yesterday, we decided to do "Linner" late afternoon so those of us who work could be home/rested. Mom made latkes and brought them to be reheated (a B+ batch, she had some Yukon Golds in the mix and they didn't crisp as well as usual), the obligatory applesauce and sour cream to top. Sis made salad with baby arugula, oranges, strawberries, almonds and a simple balsamic dressing. I made "asian" flavored meatballs (oven baked in a sauce without pre-browning, a timesaver) which were a big hit. I had bought 85%-15% ground turkey instead of my usual 93% lean and I had to add more panko to hold them together, that was a panic moment, but the texture was still good when cooked. Purchased cooked shrimp from Wegmans, served cold with cocktail sauce. Mixed berry pie, ice cream, and fruit slices (almost unbearably sweet, but deliciously intense flavors) from an upscale confectioner my Uncle frequents. Kind of a weird combo of foods, but it was sort of a nod to foods I knew everyone liked.

Shared this today with DH and his son, it was pretty rich, delicious. 9.2% alcohol, so no driving...

Made a TJ’s run (ack, the madness) to get some wines for gifting. Picked up a bottle of gingerbread stout which caught my eye. Box of gingerbread mix, tomatillo salsa for hubs, chocolate covered espresso beans, dried fruit and nuts, box of carrot ginger soup, 4 pack gift of maple syrups ($9.99, a steal), bag of brown rice/grain blend (making stuffed peppers tomorrow).

Half of a leftover (from dinner) red-skinned sweet potato, reheated in office micro, little swipe of butter and dash of cinnamon. Nice on a rainy day.

I had my first Cosmic Crisp apple today, selling for $2.99 at my local Shop Rite. Nice and crisp, Firm flesh, skin not overly tough, sweet. The flavor reminded me a bit of Braeburn. I would buy it again, but don’t feel like it was a “life changing” apple experience.😉

very busy at work today so all I did was snack on office junk (after having my healthy yogurt for breakfast), plenty of stuff due to hitting my snack drawer and the pre-holiday food showing up in the office. Philly soft pretzel. Buttery caramel corn with nuts. Dried fruit. Mini Reese's cup. Handful of pea/bean/grain crisps. So bad when I see it in writing, definitely stress eating. I better eat some veggies when I get home.

Stovetop grill pan seared tuna, cilantro/lime rice, salad. Downside of being a Thanksgiving guest, not a lot of leftovers. We wound up with the leftover stuffing (which I froze). Although I do have a slice of cheesecake to split with DH later. I resisted Mom’s entreaties to take the half of the cake that remained.

Chocolate. Mass quantities of the cheap stuff before...then no appetite.

Cubing the defrosted bread I had been saving in the freezer for stuffing...one partial loaf of a grainy/seedy variety that held up very well, I held back the "heel" end and made a mini sandwich of just provolone cheese on the bread. It's amazing how good bread, if wrapped well, holds up pretty well in the freezer.

Gawd, the angst starting already. Sis, who can't put a menu together and has limited cooking bandwidth, is stuck on the idea of making a stuffed mushroom casserole. Which I really can't see considering I have already made stuffing with...mushrooms. So more mushrooms and bread. I just emailed her to suggest just roasting some cubed root veg. Nobody really cares about the veg and at least those are good as leftovers, even for soup.

Mom and Dad are hosting. I am making dressing with mushrooms (my stand by recipe, has lots of shallots and fresh herbs), gravy (I do the "make ahead" version), and infamous Knorr spinach dip. Stepson was tasked with buying something for dessert (Mom is making apple crisp + ice cream). She sometimes buys the veg side (Wegmans butternut squash w/cranberries), and will be making twice-baked potatoes (no cheese). Sis usually is responsible for salad or soup since she's not the most confident cook.

I like roasting the seeds from delicata squash. Have to grab some, they only appear in my area stores before Thanksgiving.

Well that sad "salad" would deeply distress me (egg) and @liuzhou (c*rn)!

Dinner 2020
in Cooking
Posted
Watched the Food Network while at the gym today and decided to make a simple recipe that Michael Symon demonstrated. Baked cod shakshuka style. I made it with scrod, doubled the red bell pepper, and tweaked the spices a little. It was very easy and tasty, served with riced cauliflower since I am trying to reduce carbs this month. I would make it again.
