In an attempt to clean out the crisper before the whole thing just turns black and rots away:

white bean soup with lots of rosemary, garlic, some greens

braised cavolo nero

asparagus risotto

They were all fine, but not what I was in the mood for. Currently contemplating the pros and cons of a much-craved PB&J.

Since I bought some fresh water chestnuts over the weekend, I made: shrimp lo mein with diced water chestnuts, bean sprouts (unplucked :wink: ), snow peas, green peas, diced red bell pepper, and lots of cilantro.

The water chestnuts were SOOOOOOOOOOO sweet and crunchy. How can anyone not love them? Or maybe those who hate them never had fresh? (Canned are indeed vile. :angry: )

I am so jealous!!

Maybe if you could slip some into the care package of cilantro that I should be recieving soon..... :biggrin:

Thursday dinner was a weirdity. I was both trying out new flavors and trying to empty the fridge, so it became an odd mishmash. It went a little like this:

Achiote-Spiked Quinoa with Toasted Pepitas

Seared Tuna Steaks with Orange-Habanero Salsa Verde

Rainbow Chard Sauteed in Ancho Chile oil

Thily Sliced Cold Roast Veal Chop

Served with plonk sparkling wine.

It was pretty good, considering it was one of those meals where nothing seemed to be going right at all until I had it all on the table.

suzilightning · April 18, 2003

just pulled a scotia out of the oven. think stromboli without the meat - served by my friend joyce's mom, connie, whenever a sicilian/napolese family need something to eat without meat for the holidays. homemade pizza dough rolled out in a rectangle, topped with a tomato sauce(no meat so NOT gravy), and romano cheese chunked, grated fine and grated like mozzarella.

baby greens, evoo, and a little extra sauce for dipping the pieces in.

ohhhhhhhhhhhh....... another 10 minutes and it will be cool enough to eat. :wub:

grilled rack of lamb with a spice rub. ok, i admit, it was col. klink's spice rub. and, ok, i admit, it's been in tuperware for about 4 months. but, it still had flavor and made a nice dish. seared over high heat and then set in the back, finished with indirect heat.

long grain rice.

roasted brussels sprouts. so freaking good these things are. i think i could live on them.

helenas · April 19, 2003

edit: honorable mention: by-product in form of potato skins: fed to the daughter with a lot of creme fraiche and sea salt..

Priscilla · April 19, 2003

Mmmm creme fraiche & sea salt. Oh yes and some potato skins.

Last evening, poulet frites. Yukon Gold potatoes from the guy at the farmer's market for the frites, very very light interiorally, less substantial than russets. Not bad. Organic spring mix from another guy at the farmer's market, toasted walnuts, goat cheese, dressed with walnut oil, white wine vinegar. Baguette from the Vietnamese French baker. Cotes du Rhone, also organic, for some reason.
