Well it would be a great improvement on eggplant I can tell you.😂

Doesn't have to be either/or. I'd totally eat eggplant and blood sausage together.

In fact, now that it's in my head, I can pretty  much guarantee it's going to happen at some point.

@ddelima, that Feijoada looks fantastic. Mind divulging the recipe, please?

 

Thank you @Tved. You can get good guidance from this video: 

 

 

Although it is in Portuguese  you can get the idea. The secret is good quality smoked bacon, smoked pork ribs (if you can find them), some sausage that will maintain the texture after hours of cooking, time,  and patience. I highly recommend making it the day before eating as the flavor will improve the next day.

Using half a bag of noodles and cabbage leftover from previous meals, i added hickory smoked sausage for a fall back dinner we have every so often.

[BeeZee]

Shrimp in brothy tomato sauce...sauteed garlic and shallot in some butter/olive oil first...some leftover prepared sauce that I diluted and also added a glug of sherry vinegar to...simmered together a few minutes. Served with steamed spinach and brown rice.

800gm T-Bone steak.  Cooked revers sear with a little Pecan smoke.

I have been craving for a steak ever since watching episode 3. Season 2 of Ugly Delicious on Netflix.

If you can eat it, you can beat it?

 

Corona! Corona! Corona!  

 

Found a Corona pulled pork recipe for dinner.

 

Corona pulled pork with home grown Royal Corona beans, Washed down with Corona beer.

 

Yes, forsythia is already blooming in my garden. Good days are coming!

 

According to folk medicine: Forsythia is used for swelling of small air passages in the lung (bronchiolitis),tonsillitis, sore throat, fever, vomiting, heart disease, -------.

 

Interesting.

I'd love that beef stew about now!  I have all the time in the world on my hands, a bomb shelter of ingredients (including carrots, celery, and even a tiny bit of beef), but in this pandemic I can't motivate myself to cook.  My mental health has not been good.  Tonight's dinner* is a can of Progresso Manhattan clam chowder.  And good I am sure it will be.

 

 

*or, if you will, breakfast since it is after 2:00 am.

It's difficult times all over the world. DO hope you will have good emotional support around you.

Using up bits and pieces of seafood (pickerel trimmings, clam meat, shrimp) in the freezer, plus a box of cooked "PEI Mussels" that I picked up for $4.99 - Creamy Seafood Chowder.

                                                                   

Salad was lovely and chunky, other than the bowl I steamed for the hubby who does not like raw broccoli and cauliflower.

Cannot seem to source that brand around here at least not so far.

Dessert for dinner. It doesn’t have a name nor a provenance. It is a date, apple, almond concoction. I had a Mutsu apple that was way, way past its prime, some dried dates which were getting drier and in the freezer the tiniest little bit of premade crumble topping. It was damn tasty.

[Shelby]

This whole virus situation has me even more mindful of using up all leftovers.  Had a tiny bit of corned beef left so made some hash.  Not as meaty as we would have liked it, but oh well.

 

Mortadella and salami sandwiches last night

[rotuts]

@Anna N 

 

I agree.  Almost anything is better than egg[palnt.

 

maybe not GBP's   .....

 

I thought those rounds on the Pizza  were Breakfast Sausages , cut from a Roll 

 

Jones perhaps ?

 

I have several cans of Progresso soup , on standby

 

the Dinners Ive just seen are an inspiration to me.

 

thank you all for posting .

My kind of dinner. Yum. Pre-made crumble topping? There's invention. The other night we had rice pudding for a late dinner. Due to what we are all becoming familiar with, that is the various shortages, we are very low on basmati rice. However my husband scored a few boxes of arborio and carnaroli, and since I always prefer those for rice pudding, , it was a slam-dunk. I've also got a reasonable supply of sushi rice, but long grain rice appears to be about as scarce as King Arthur Flour, at least in these parts. Besides rice pudding, the near future holds risotto and one of my favorite soups, which is a tomato and arborio rice concoction. Yes, we eat a lot of rice chez moi.

 

And like you, @Shelby, I have never been so conscious of not wasting anything. I am trying to funnel my anxiety into creative re-use of all edibles. It helps a little, but no more than most obsessions. And, like other obsessions, it becomes its own burden. So be it.

Yes just make up a big batch and put it in a Ziploc and into the freezer. Very handy. I happen to like Jamie Oliver’s version.  No oats!

I thought it was a national/international brand.

Made in Vineland, NJ.  With Campbell's in Camden, I guess SNJ is the soup capital

 

I thought it was international too, but you said you couldn't get it
