Purple Carrot #3: crispy turnip cakes with za'atar yogurt and kumquat quinoa tabouli.  That's for for box #1, so it's back to my own ideas for dinner for the next few days.

 Never thought that you needed any help with your ideas!   I'd jump on an invitation to your kitchen almost anytime. You would need to hide that gorgeous tableware though.

I have not made kuku sabzi for a while, but going to the farmers market and smelling all these beautiful herbs, I knew what I want for dinner!

[sartoric]

Groan...more dosa, sambar and tomato chutney, with potato mustard curry and lime pickle. The sambar is butternut pumpkin and cabbage. This meal will be my last South Indian dinner for a while (promise), as I've now used up all of my dosa batter, and think I've got them pretty spot on.  I plan to concentrate on Northern India (chapattis and naan) next.

JOHNNYBIRD is heading out for 2 days to learn how to teach rock climbing and needs fuel.  For dinner tonight he has chicken cacciatore with gluten free pasta.  Tomorrow, to share with any and all, a pork loin that was stuffed with garlic and sage, sautéed then braised in some vegetable stock with some thyme, onion, carrots and bay.  I defatted the sauce and finished it with some butterbean honey.  There are boiled potatoes to heat up and I threw some thawed green peas in with the carrots. 

 

Cheddar tidbits to munch on ... supposedly someone is bringing fruit and either pears or apples would go nicely with the cheese.

Orzo with lemon and parsley from Diana Henry's Simple, topped with salmon 

I added a few handfuls of baby spinach and some red bell pepper to the orzo recipe.

I hadn't anything planned for dinner so when Moe called me at work, I asked him what he wanted and he said antipasto.

 

So I stopped at the grocery store on my way home from work and picked up what I needed.

 

I grilled the eggplant, zucchini and peppers,

 

paired fresh figs with Gorgonzola, melon with prosciutto,

 

a little caprese salad, olives and salami.

@suzilightning I have never heard of butter bean honey,   Will you tell us about it?

[Thanks for the Crepes]

Butterbean honey is produced in the hives that are brought in to pollinate butterbeans or lima beans. It's good stuff.

As TftC said it ... and this stuff comes from Cape May Honey Company here in NJ.

Thanks!  I am hoping that it might cut down on food waste in my kitchen, and introduce some different plant based ideas to our diet. I'll still have Monday and the weekends to cook whatever I like.  

 

Last night, pasta norma

 A sort of a cross-cultural dinner,

 

Salt baked chicken (盐焗鸡 - yán jú jī), with buttery new potatoes and scallions. Asparagus and peas.

 

[sartoric]

Risotto with chicken and asparagus, plus toast. The risotto was finished with the usual suspects butter and parmesan, plus a wild card (courtesy mother in law) a splash of cognac.

 

[Norm Matthews]

Dinner was easy with grilled ribeyes with baked potatos, Southwest bean salad and green salad.

[mm84321]

Green mussels are perhaps the finest mussels

Last night:

 

 

Pork chop was grilled as I like it, just a little pink -- but the real attraction was the recent Radicchio Salad with Anchovy Vinaigrette from the NY Times.

 

Besides radicchio the ingredients are anchovies, avocado, red onion, black pepper, olive oil, capers, and white wine vinegar.  Capers and the oil were Spanish.  I had some difficulty incorporating the anchovy bits into the emulsion.  Then I recalled I had an under-utilized rotor stator homogenizer within reach.  French fries not shown.

 

Tonight for leftovers I'm adding tomatoes and mozzarella, maybe more cappers.  With baguette of course.

Oyster season just opened here in Bluff (lucky me). Richest damn oyster I ever did taste. .

Basically a mixture of seafood (calamari, clams, salmon, shrimp) hard boiled egg, in a white sauce layered with mashed potato and grated cheese over top. Good meal after a 26 mile day hike, I'd say.

Is that like a puff pastry piece stuck upright into the bowl? And yes, very excellent fare after such a trek.

Indeed. The tail of a fish, diving into the abyss.

Spotted a few Dolphins in the fjord the day after I ate it. Must have been an omen.
