Dinner 2018

Linguini with clam sauce tonight. I raked up these clams this morning. Chopping the garlic, parsley, basil and cilantro for the sauce with olive oil and white wine was a painful effort because  I had not raked clams in months and the muscles in my back let me know about it. The payoff was well worth it though!

That looks absolutely delicious and dreamy.  Exactly what I'd like to be eating tonight.  I really need to get out my pasta machine that I asked for and received about 6 years ago and have never used. 😏

 

@kayb - not sure if you mean green pea or split pea soup, but if you mean split pea here is a really good, easy and quick recipe that Mr. Kim made one time when I was not feeling well.  It made me happy and has been our go-to split pea soup since.  I'm sure that your Aldi ham will fit in just fine.

Took me awhile to get it out, but once I did I was hooked. Would get home from work and throw a batch together for dinner. Just gotta get over the hump!

Pressure Cooked Red Wine Braised Short Ribs with Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Thyme and Honey Carrots, and Red Wine Balsamic Reduction. 

 

I need to figure out how to get better lighting. I spend too much time, making too good of food, for such shitty photos, hahaha.

Thanks, @Kim Shook. Filed.

 

I missed getting to Squatters while in StL, but did manage a couple of good dinners. Baked ravioli at Rigazzi's, which continues to be my favorite restaurant on The Hill, and a German sausage dinner at Schneithorst's the next night. Red cabbage was a bit too sweet, but the knackwurst was the best I've ever eaten.

 

Tonight, comfort food, and the makings of sandwiches for the next couple of days. Meat loaf is about 1/2 inch thick for maximum glazed crust. A slab is going on fresh bread with Tallegio cheese tomorrow for breakfast. Maybe another for lunch.

Obligatory green peas andashed potatoes to accompany.

For the last 2 months, running the St Cuthberts feast kitchen at the Northern California Renaissance Faire on the weekends (a six hour drive each way) and still dealing with things associated with my dying FIL, I haven't had the time to cook real dinners. Last night was a real pleasure. Cooking SVed pork loin steaks, kassespatzle using Jarlsberg and steamed broccoli florets made me a happy man.

@Porthos - You are dealing with a LOT.  I can't even imagine how comforting it was to cook that lovely sounding meal!  You're in my thoughts, my friend.

 

Quick Halloween dinner once the Trick or Treater's were gone - grilled cheese with Dijon, American, Gouda and Mozzarella:

Done with mayo instead of butter.  Really good.  And plain old Campbell’s tomato:

Last night was chicken and dumplings and broccoli slaw:

 The chicken and dumplings were really good and I’m not sure that I can recreate it exactly!  I used a bunch of stuff from the freezer (stock, chicken breasts, peas & carrots), made a roux – then made some more when it didn’t get as thick as I wanted it.  I used those frozen noodle-like dumplings.  I’ve never used that kind before, but we really liked them.  Maybe not quite as well as the fluffy ones.  Those I always make from whomp biscuits.  Hey, if it’s good enough for my grandmother, it’s good enough for me!

Was both lunch and dinner and served me well as both sustenance and entertainment.  Crispy chicken thighs over rice. Coleslaw, sautéed peppers and a rolled omelette  with nori. Bentos look so easy until you attempt to assemble and pack one.

Makloubeh and eggplant salad with tahini and yogurt.

The makloubeh got quite stuck - I believe that I added too much liquid by mistake.

Crispy rice from the bottom is a favorite as long as it's browned and not burnt.   "tahdig" as it's known in Persian cooking is also enjoyed in the middle east as well.
