I call it chicken soupy rice. Could be arroz con pollo, I guess.  But lots of Spanish spices in there. And it's bomba rice. 

 

Green salad and sautéed asparagus accompanied.

Do you need kitchen help?    Dog walking, no, no, cat walking?    Windows washed?     Me need this food.    Name barter price.

Is your spaetzle made with RAMPS?     I am tasting your plate right now!

Confession time: I didn't make the spaetzle. It's a dried pasta product that I saw in a Big Lots and decided to buy on a whim. The pasta is from Germany, so it's probably not made with ramps. According to the ingredient label, they used "wild garlic powder," whatever that means. It did taste pretty good though.

Not with ramps (allium tricoccum), but with its very close cousin “Bärlauch” (allium ursinum). Having tasted both I’d say that they taste pretty similar, and I used to use Bärlauch for ramps while living in Germany ...

Fair enough.   Do YOU need kitchen help, cat walker, etc?       I'm easy.

@shain  Looks and sounds good. I'd add crisp radishes, maybe quick pickled onion, lime wedges and a small bowl of extra green sauce to unite the rice and beans. I want it all ;)

Thanks :)

We actually did have more of the sauce and feta to supplement, and also some pickled chilies.

I store a jar of salted vinegar and sliced chilies in the fridge. I simply add more chilies when needed, and never allow it to get empty :P

My most recent dinners are not at home even though I actually cooked them. I brought with me a couple of things from home knowing the town would be closed all day. Both the tofu and asparagus were steamed. The red stuff is prawn roe .

I even brought a bunch of beer from home.

Today: sharp daikon, Duroc pork loin and new potatoes.

Rarely eat pork at home unless it's Iberico, Berkshire, or some interesting and higher-welfare breed. This one is Duroc from a farm in north Germany (where I'm on holiday at the moment).

Smoked Speck to render the fat for the cooking.

Daikon and tops were stir-fried with Speck.

Found a drink shop today and picked up a few German craft beers. This one is brewed in a small town 16km from here by 2 hobby brewers. Label is home-printed. I've just read that the whole family helps with bottling, labelling and things like that.

So I opened a can.    But it was a can husband insisted on bringing home.

Reflets of France is a reliable brand that you find in supermarkets' local products section.     All I did was move to a baking dish

Bake for half hour at 400F to achieve crusty casserole.    Was impressed with the good quality (Tarbais) beans, large chunk confit and two sausages.   Decent seasonings      Can said it served 2, but leftovers will be lunch for at least one, maybe 2.

Drowning out husband's objections, also put sauted greens on the table.753284981_photo4-1.thumb.JPG.b1e9d8e8b164a6c91b8104137c0c2e18.JPG

So, something you'll often hear in my house that I suspect you wouldn't best at anybody else's: "I am so freaking sick of mahi-mahi! If I have to eat another steak of that fish I am going to go crazy." #tropicalproblems

 

Mahi-mahi is, in general, one of the least expensive fish I can buy (around $3.50/lb) and as a result we do eat an awful lot of it. However, because there's obviously such a thing as too much, last night's dinner was a step back.

 

I give you... Popcorn merluza!

Regional differences are so interesting,     Mahi Mahi is a luxury where I live.     $15-20/lb,    But all fish is expensive here.    Even my favorite Asian seafood market has markedly raised prices over the past year.

OK...the 3 bean salad became a 4 bean with chickpeas).

Pork tenderloin became shrimp tacos with home made mango salsa for John.

I'm happy with the bean salad over red leaf and romaine with some ricotta salata.

Nothing is better than frying in lard.

Nothing.  Do not quote me on this.
