John has been busy and is once more over scheduling himself so I decided to treat him to some comfort food:  shrimp and pasta.   Reading Melissa Clark's new book so got some frozen tamarind and made him some shrimp pad thai.

I'm off to visit friends this weekend so will make a lasagna for him to eat on while I'm gone as well as some macaroni salad, potato salad and some chicken with vinegar.

Nothing is better than frying in lard.

Nothing.  Do not quote me on this.

Lovely dry scallops (from Whole Foods) with the side of rice/mixed greens.  Scallops were oh so sweet.

The first dinner I've cooked for nearly a month, due to a slight encounter with the medical mob.
 

pork2.thumb.jpg.2e90e8317b746593549aa1576dfabcf5.jpg

Lemon and coriander pork with rice and a simple lettuce, mint and tomato salad. The salad was undressed as there was a lot of lemony/oily juice from the pork.

All properly seasoned I suspect?

While I can still stand...the last of my recent pesto sauce -- this time with Giuseppe Cocco pasta.  I confess I liked Giuseppe's version better than my own.  Can't say I enjoy raw pasta.  Not being Neapolitan.  Baring results of DNA test, of course.

Peel and eat Argentine Red Shrimp boiled in shells with salt, Old Bay in the water and nothing else. Served with corn on the cob, which was local and very good, with some brussels sprouts. My last local peach for dessert. I must get more of these while the getting is good. This has been the best year for peaches in recent memory, maybe ever!

Leftover stuffed zucchini, sliced and layered into a "new" casserole. The last bit of pork tenderloin pounded out thin and turned into pork piccata, leftover cucumber salad and fresh potato salad.

I'm mainly sticking with one pot, minimal prep dishes. as I have little energy after my recent sojourn with the nurses and doctors. So, it's slow cooker land here,  not something I usually use much, especially in summer.
 

Tonight I diced a chicken breast I "discovered" in the freezer and braised it with fresh shiitake mushrooms, shallots, whole garlic cloves, black olives, and capers. Served with rice and my new favourite bottled hot, ginger flavoured sauce from Thailand.

Although it was OK, it lacked something - probably something I don't have anyway.


Also, I would normally have done something green as a side, but didn't have anything and didn't feel up to venturing out. Tomorrow my dearest friend is coming to take me to the city's best supermarket in her brand new car.

@liuzhou - good to see you're up to a little cooking!

 

Yesterday's dinner was modified versions of the Chicken with Mustard, Green Beans with Snail Butter and Potatoes cooked in duck (really chicken) fat from David Lebovitz's My Paris Kitchen.

IMG_5737.thumb.jpg.b4fe19b708e79207399adf8639a53d25.jpg

I've made all of these before but took some liberties this time. I roasted the mustard-coated chicken thighs and before making the sauce, I drained off most of the fat and used a little of it to brown the potatoes. The beans were a mixture of different kinds (including flat Romano beans and some lovely purple ones that lost their color after cooking) from a friends garden. There are no actual snails in the "snail butter," it's just the sort of garlicky-parsley butter you'd use for escargots.

A new Sprouts store opened up around the corner.  Amberjack @ $9.99/lb.  picked up two sides for ~$67 which will make about 20 meals.  The ends are on the smoker at the moment
