Sunday dinner

Chicken in red wine casserole- chicken pieces dipped in milk, floured and fried. Then cooked in casserole with chicken broth, sherry, marsala, mushrooms, Mission figlets, shallots and lots of Music garlic. Served over buttered spaetzle. :wub:

Accompanied with buttered brussels sprouts, and butternut squash with butter, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Leftover Russian-made birthday cake(kind of like a Black Forest cake).

Just got some new Thai cookbooks and a book of recipes of all the countries of the former USSR. Way neat books. So may see some of their stuff floating in on this thread in the future.

Sunday:

broiled skinless boneless chicken breasts (rubbed with a pinch of Gujarati-style garam masala and a couple of T. of EVOO)

slow roasted tomatoes

cilantro chatni

couscous

green salad

apple cider

Next time, I'll use more oil and less salt for the tomatoes. Otherwise, they were amazing. (Slice plum tomatoes 1/4" thick, drizzle with EVOO, sprinkle of kosher salt, a smidge of asafoetida and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Roast at 200 F for 4 to 7 hours. Concentrated summery goodness.)

Soba

edit: you can season the tomatoes using whatever you have on hand. I vary the seasonings from just EVOO and salt to a smidge of turmeric (to bring out the color and add a little pungency) to what I did last night. Generally minimal is best. The tomatoes are really the star of the show. These were plum tomatoes but they work just as well with any kind, even tangerine tomatoes (which I had the pleasure of tasting while I was in San Francisco last week -- at the Ferry Building on the Embarcadero).

Steamed leeks with vinaigrette

Chard and onion risotto, using up the last of the soupe a l'oignon from last week

Seared wine-deglazed shrimp

Honeycrisp apple slices and oatmeal cookies

Eaten at UMD. I was amused by taking a decent meal to my partner while he had a break between classes there. I set out nice silverware and would have brought wine if I hadn't been feeling a little under the weather (and a little unsure that wine is legal in an academic/performance building!)

Olives, hummous, pita;

Green salad with balsamic dressing;

Spicy lamb sausage;

Rice.

But it could have just as soon been peanut butter and jelly; I'm just thrilled to have a functional kitchen again. Even doing the dishes was fun.

Last evening, an I Ran for CA Governor, Did You gathering featuring Kit Anderson's Bad Attitude Chili, a link to which is found in this eGullet chili discussion. Excellent recipe. I used about half & half New Mexico and California chili powders.

And then some accompaniments for folks to add at will, boiled pinto beans, steamed Mahatma long-grain (Craig Claiborne's suggestion), grated medium cheddar, minced white onion, sour cream.

Coleslaw, cornbread muffins, honey & butter together again.

Last night didn't count: take-out sushi with green tea.

Tonight: Tried-and-True African Tofu Peanut Stew :biggrin:

Saute lots of ginger, garlic, and minced onions.

Add a spice mix including turmeric, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, cayenne, salt, some Ethiopian Berbere powder if you can find it.

Add tofu chunks, fry for a bit.

Add diced tomatoes, I like to add a large can.

Add a large dollop or two of peanut butter, stir to mix.

Add chopped collard greens.

Cover and cook 'til greens are steamed through. Serve over rice, maybe with some plain yogurt on the side.

This is cheap, easy, and surprisingly delicious. Even better with coconut milk.

We will probably have beer or wine with this.

Our meals will get more interesting as the month progresses and tightening finances force me to find edible preparations for the varied and ancient grains/legumes dumped on us by my mother. :hmmm:

Tonight I'm repenting for the left-overs we ate last night by making something Brand-New with an ingredient I never used before!!!

Wilted Broccoli Rabe (the new ingredient) with garlic and sweet veal sausage

The Broccoli Rabe is wilting as I type. I have no idea how it will taste, but it smells damn good.

Parsley-crusted salmon on a bed of mushrooms and spinach, topped with a broken red wine vinaigrette made with a cheap Woodbridge cabernet I found in the wine rack.

Roasted potatoes with garlic and rosemary pinched from my friend's garden.

A big glass of said cabernet.

Leftover oatmeal cookies and bits of pecan brickle for dessert.
