Dinner 2018

I was in the notion for a pot roast, but somehow, all the roasts have migrated to the bottom of the freezer and I didn't feel like digging. So when my hand came to a Boston butt pork shoulder roast, I said, "that'll do."

Seared the roast, which I'd seasoned with garlic salt and black pepper; put onion chunks in the bottom of the roaster, added a half-cup of white wine, the roast, then surrounded it with potatoes and carrots, which I seasoned with Lawry's Seasoned Salt. Covered and baked for about five hours at between 275 and 300.

Had some good pan drippings and could have made gravy, but couldn't be troubled to do so. It was Just Fine the way it was.

Penne with hot Italian sausage (leftover from my Sunday dinner of saffron rice with hot Italian sausage and greenlip mussels) and sauteed broccolirabe (left over from last nights dinner of a shake and bake chicken breast  with broccolirabe). Do things  really count as leftovers when you are cooking things with the intention of getting more than one meal out of them?.

As a senior citizen cooking for one, I try to avoid wasting food, but it's difficult.  I buy a lot more vegetables such as   zucchini than I actually cook and eat.  Sometimes its a matter of throwing out the zucchini I didn't use last week to make room in the crisper for the zucchini I bought this week and will probably throw out next week to make room for the zucchini I buy next week.

It's been pretty warm on the FL Gulf Coast so finally a little cool weather and time for a little comfort food.  I've been socking away a lot of chicken stock so old timey dumplings fit the bill.  I used a brown chicken stock with sous vide turkey for the meat lovers.  I also made a vegetarian variant using a veg soup base.

The main for Sunday's dinner was Salmon with Beet Casuzieni.  Here's a picture of the prep.

Eggplant stuffed with ground lamb and topped with shredded Habanero cheese, steamed asparagus, and shredded hash browns.
Hubby not a fan of the skin left on the eggplant, but he managed to enjoy the filling!

Sigh here too.  As we speak I am drinking my last lime.

 

If I'm feeling energetic dinner may be store-bought dried spaghetti.  Or it could be a can of Progresso minestrone.

 

 

First time round,  I read that as Prosecco minestrone.

Tonight I tried Nigellas Chicken & Pea Tray bake from At My Table. Mine does NOT look like her Instas!

But it did taste good and was beautifully easy on a work night... I did find the peas a little chewy though & skin not as crispy as I like - I just followed the recipe, so none of my usual skin crisping efforts occurred and its my fault.  (It's Hump Day gimmie a Break 😁

Nigellas recipe used 8 thighs to feed four, I was only comfortable with 7 in the pan with spacing. We are also a well sated 2 with this to fit in the freezer!

mm84321, is that restaurant food or home-made?  We had the best borscht ever in Krakow.  I've been trying to recreate it but no joy.  It looked just like that though.
