I’m enjoying The Dish with Kish too. Partly because I love watching Kish, and partly because I enjoy the behind the scenes and more informal vibe. And it’s fun seeing past favorite chefs again.

Used up some of the leftover chicken schnitzel (see Dinner thread) in a grilled sandwich with sharp cheddar. If I’d been thinking I would have added a relish, like the onion jam I bought on a whim.

Looks prettier than mine! Would you do the slow fried egg again?

@Norm Matthews I’m definitely going to try a cut down version - thanks!

We went for a drive to scout out a potential camping spot and ended up for lunch at a small town burger place that was stellar. Bacon cheeseburger and fries for him, avocado bacon cheeseburger and onion rings for for me. Plus a strawberry shake. We took a lot home including half the shake! Bonus pics of some of the beautiful spring foliage we’re getting. Beautiful day for a drive.

Thank you! My conscious is now clearer ;).

@Norm Matthews That coleslaw looks so good! It makes a LOT - how long do you find it keeps?

@liuzhou That looks delicious! I have an ignorant American question. Do you eat all the chile peppers? It would seem like a waste not too, but also that’s a lot of chile peppers, and they’re dried. I’ve had dishes like this in restaurants and always wonder!

I took a cooking class years ago and learned how to do a three station breaded chicken cutlet but I still don’t do it enough to be confident. Last night I gave it a whirl and it turned out well, but we both agreed that it was under seasoned. I’d winged the seasoning so that’s an easy fix. Served with orzo with pesto and cherry tomatoes, and TJ’s frozen haricots verts which is my single favorite Trader Joe’s item. They cook up well, even in the microwave, taste good and are never stringy or woody. As I was cooking I wondered, ”Is this chicken schnitzel? What makes something a schnitzel?”

Now this morning we went out to breakfast and I had a great country fried steak scramble with potatoes, veggies, eggs, and gravy. I took half of it home. But did I think to take a picture? No! And I doubt the leftovers will photograph well ...

My usual breakfasts are just boring! Egg and toast, toast and peanut butter, granola and yogurt….good but boring.

Sending all good wishes for healing and your journey home. Glad you had enthusiasm for some shopping and cooking again. I am jealous of your chile rellenos 😜

I had some turkey breakfast sausage patties I wasn’t wild about and some bread from a bakery I am wild about so made a breakfast sandwich. @Katie Meadow I agree with you on NM! I only lived there for three years but I get homesick for it but don’t for the also beautiful state I grew up in. New Mexico is extraordinary. We’re lucky that a local company here brings in Hatch chiles and roasts them. Last year we bought a peck and processed them to freeze. I found I could freeze the chopped chiles in ice cube trays then pop them in a freezer bag. One cube is often all I need to add to whatever I’m making for two of us.

Looks great! Do you roast the chicken neck? That’s new to me.

That looks great! I should try some riffs on this. I’ve got a big package of seafood to work through.
