Dinner was supposed to be...but a migraine got in the way.  Maybe you will get to read about it later.  Anyhow, fear not, I did not go hungry.

 

 

 

Sockeye from amazon.  Spice Trekkers' Gaspesian Salmon Rub.  One could do far worse.  No ramps were harmed in this presentation.

Fresh or canned jackfruit? It is SUCH a trend now. Good taste/texture though?

@Anna N, I think I am going to post about this on the baking section. I feel sometimes my pizza in teglia is a hit or miss. So, no more changing timing, yeast, etc. I am going to stick to the same exact formula until I get it right every single time!

Prepackaged but not canned.  I haven't experimented with fresh yet- that will be a later project.  Good taste and texture nonetheless, and it worked very well in the chili.

No ramps here, so I will have to use the pickled onion and raw scallion green substitution.

 

I made the dressing today. I was not impressed at first, but after letting the mix meld for an hour, the tangy flavor came through. Very nice!

 

 

[Franci]

Soup, salad, chorizo croquettes and edamame 

[CantCookStillTry]

Had a pork tenderloin out with plans for some kind of Roast. Lil Man asked for 'Meat on Sticks & Rice'. Marinade of Soy, Honey, Garlic, Sesame Oil, too much Ginger Etc. 

Unpictured Salad that he didn't eat anyway!

Roasted chicken with truffle mac and cheese

Chicken enchiladas with Hatch chile sauce, RG beans and cilantro lime rice

Country pot-luck last night at the quarterly meeting of our Volunteer Fire Company.     We took a pan of al Pastor pork, warm tortillas, salsas and sour cream.    Well received.   

Others brought a fabulous fresh pesto pasta, a half dozen chili con carnes, pasta and potato salads, quiche and handful of dessertsl

 

For me, the stellar dish was a 16" cast iron frying pan of this heritage kale.   The provider told me he was part of the group that collected and brought these diverse kales from Europe.    His description of the dish: Kale Coalition, Bull's Blood beet greens, OG Seal garlic, Italian sausage, raisins, spices (I detected cumin), onions and love.    .

Lazy ... there is no other expression to describe my mood today. Homemade burgers w/ the works. Luckily, the family supports my state of mind by just consuming what I put in front of them ...

 

 

Albeit with limited enthusiam.

 

[Margaret Pilgrim]

Beautiful burgers, beautiful boy, both rare and well done.

Rack of lamb with tarbais beans.

Assuming this means born, raised & slaughtered in the US - when did this language become a standard?

Greens might be acceptable.

Tonight's dinner: Skillet pizza with basil pesto mixed with ricotta, mushrooms, and black olives.

[Owtahear]

Seared Tuna carpaccio with dressed greens salad.    Tuna seared, drizzled with a Tuscan olive oil, sunflower seeds, capers and Maldon flake salt.   Greens dressed with lemon juice and olive oil.   

 

Tuna was impeccable quality.  It was so silky, one of the better I have had in a long time.
