Last night, second dinner from the new grill was chicken. It was marinated in oil, garlic, ginger, and orange zest, and at the end of the grilling, brushed with orange marmalade and the juice of an orange. With it, fried plantains with mango & avocado salsa, and black beans & rice.

The night before, an early birthday dinner from our new grill.

Ohhhhh, pretty. I seem to be out-of-sync: we hate gotten an early false-summer here (~70 and sunny this weekend!) but this is exactly the kind of thing I am still craving.

However, we had a cookout Sunday night. Little burgers, mine with pickled jalepeno slices and lost of white American. Tostitos. Planned to do asparagus on the grill and a grilled corn and red onion salad with lots of basil and pepper, steaks, and chicken, but what started out as a minor clean-up-the-backyard project turned into a major landscaping ordeal. I cut a lime for my Corona after we finished and decided that would be the extent of my cooking for the day.

Bowtie Pasta with Chicken and Roasted Cauliflower

[chezlamere]

yesterday

steamed broccoli and asparagus

tossed salad with shredded cheese

an amazingly good combination of sauted purple onions, large chicken breast chunks when meat was pink added cut up fresh tomato, slopped in some white wine and onion salt. Cleaned the pan with many pieces of bread crusts. I don't know which was actually better

today

fried rice with chicken chunks, red peppers, zuccini, baby carrots cut on the diagonal.sauted purple onion, soya sauce, lea and perrins i think that was all.

tomorrow

something else with chicken chunks probably. Skinless, boneless breasts are on sale this week, bought lots. Maybe chicken barley soup.

[redfox]

Too tired to get the pictures off the camera right now, but tonight I made a really successful improvised Middle Easterny stew kind of thing by dicing an eggplant and popping it in the oven to roast for a bit while I sauteed onion in olive oil with some berbere. Eggplant, red peppers and two quarters of chopped preserved lemon into the pan, sauteed, added a bit of water, covered, let cook. Stirred in about a cup of leftover cooked beans, heated through. Wonderful spicy lemony savory vegetable-y goodness, fantastic with a crisp salad that included a bunch of crumbled fresh cheese.

tuesday: moroccan spiced chicken with israeli couscous salad

I think pcarpen wins the prize for gorgeous chicken skin. Beautiful photos. What blend of spices went on the chicken? Was it roasted in pieces?

No cooking for me lately, unless you count unwrapping pieces of gum and lighting cigarettes as cooking.
