So do you serve "buffet" style?

[Ann_T]

C.Oliver, I save my pictures on Smugmug. They can be saved at full resolution and posted here.

 

My favourite pasta sauce.  Sausage and Rosemary served with fusilli.

So do you serve "buffet" style?

 

Yes, our house is a mix of Italian and Chinese style. On this particular aspect I go more Chinese, unless my parents come to visit or I want to offer a formal Italian meal.

Great looking meal.  If you have any more chanterrelles lying about, you might want to try this soup:

You leave the vegetables whole?

^ A couple of tomatoes didn't burst open but they were all very soft. Once they are all popped it looks like a mess.

Oh wait, I just looked more closely.  This was before cooking.  I see the herbs now.

I could happily make a meal of Anna's potatoes and broccoli.

 

Using up stuff in the fridge:  a take off on turkey tetrazzini.  Whole wheat noodles, chopped up pork loin, mixed mushrooms, pork gravy, leftover carrots and peas baked together. 

 

Our rescue cats(8 years old) had their first adventure with snow ... and were NOT impressed.  They went out for 15 minutes and demanded to come back in.

Some gifted cold roast beef, paper thin slices of red onion on homemade Parmesan and black pepper bread.

[FauxPas]

Shelby made a suggestion for a green bean/mushroom/onion/blue cheese tart in another thread. I made it tonight as an appy and it was very tasty. Would indeed be a good choice for a T-Day or Xmas side dish or appetizer. We have quite a bit left-over in the fridge and will probably have the rest for lunch tomorrow. I used thinly sliced yellow onion in place of shallots - still very good. 

 

Before cooking:

 

 

 

Ready to eat:

 

 

[JoNorvelleWalker]

Melange of almonds and peanuts.  Followed by a baguette with pink lady apples and half a dozen cheeses.  Methode rotuts.

[Naftal]

Hello- Today it was a congee, topped with spinach and soy sauce. This was my take on the more traditional Chinese greens and salted chicken  

[Mmmpomps]

Friday Night Sous Vide Steaks , mashed potatoes , corn and mushroom and onion gravy:

[Shelby]

FauxPas, your tart looks soooooooo good.  I'm glad you liked it!  I'm wishing I had some green beans so I could make it.

 

Suzi, LOL about your cats.  

 

 

Fried rice

 

 

And sticky wings and spring rolls

 

[ninagluck]

leftover menue: potato and salmon bake with sour cream and fried capers. 

[c oliver]

Chicken tacos.  Or what we call tacos.  More like a small, open faced burrito on a corn tortilla  Rice, beans, chicken, avocado, cheese, chopped tomato, Cholula.

[Anna N]

Chicken thigh with canned artichoke hearts and mushrooms.

[scubadoo97]

Tonight, Moros y Christianos with shrimp and bay scallops. A shrimp shell reduction and mangos salsa added some nice flavors to the dish

[Shelby]

I'm trying to clean out my freezers.  I found some shrimp ( I SWEAR they weren't there before lol).  I made some shrimp cocktail out of most of them and then made an alfredo out of the rest.   Not the best tasting, but ...oh well.  We had a salad on the side.

 

OH and my husband plated his own and I think it's picture worthy
