@Ann_T – that short rib and polenta looks so incredibly good. 

 

@CantCookStillTry – I don’t know why I never thought of it before, but your mini toads in the holes (that looks awkward, huh?) are so smart.  I’m making them like that next time. 

 

@Shelby – now I want meatloaf.  And mashed potatoes.  And brown gravy. 

 

@mgaretz – gorgeous sprouts!

 

Last night - a radish and a carrot from Jessica’s vegetable delivery (paring knife for size comparison):

They are very good and the radishes are beautiful:

Comfort food needed these last few days:

 

Instant Pot Coconut Curry Chicken. Must remember to add the coconut milk AFTER high pressure cooking! Eaten with a wild rice / brown rice mix.

Beef & Tomato with Egg

Picked up a bunch of frozen dim sum from the local Chinese grocery. Not bad in a pinch, and because I am not energetic enough to make my own. Pastry a bit too thick for me. The sticky rice was good tho', silky and just enough filling.

spaghetti and meat sauce, salad, and Texas toast garlic bread

Kim,

Your spaghetti looks delicious (and now I am hungry for it!).

Do you make your Texas Toast in the oven/under the broiler?

My mom would "toast" (brown) her Texas Toast in a non-stick skillet on the stove top...sort of like how you brown the exterior of a grilled cheese sandwich in a skillet.

She couldn't see firing up the broiler for just a few piece of Teas Toast.

The skillet method doesn't work so well with the Texas Toast that has cheese on one side.:B

Grilled Pork Steak with BBQ Sauce, Cole Slaw and Yellow Squash with Red Bell Peppers and Onion

In the Before Times, I often went out to lunch with two co-workers, and one of our favorite plate lunch spots has barbecued pork steaks on Thursdays. Yours looks as delicious as theirs. 
 

Tonight’s dinner:

And a couple of nights ago I made crab stuffed fried shrimp.

Scotch broth. Using less, not more barley, is the key for me (like 1/3 cup for 2 quarts of liquid). It was still brothy, as opposed to stodgy. Who knows what leftovers may bring. Leeks, onions, carrots, celeriac, celery all found a home.

With apologies to Joan Nathan, as well as to my maternal grandmother, I threw these together very quickly - using the French Moulinex to shred the potatoes and onion. A different style to be sure.

 

I may make Joan's tonight.

@Toliver– this was just the frozen garlic toast, but I’ve done that same skillet method in the past with both the frozen and homemade.  I generally do it in the CSO.  It is so small that it heats and toasts it at the same time and is really fast. 

 

@patti – Your crab-stuff shrimp are gorgeous.  What a great job you did with them.  I’d love a dozen of those for lunch today!

 

Last night - cornbread should look like this going in the skillet:

Out of the CSO:

Ham slice that looks dry, but was not at all:

IMG_4258.jpg.63c22318f7566f1edebe3450067f6777.jpg

Slathered with honey-mustard. 

 

Peaches, cornbread, ham, butterbeans, and mac and cheese:

IMG_4260.jpg.f5f3c34d73da06daabbe64c831ad3b46.jpg

The butterbeans were some fresh ones that I’d gotten from a produce stand in September.  They were shelled, but not processed at all.  I froze them and cooked them in water and a three-finger pinch of kosher salt.  They tasted so salty that we found them inedible. 😟

If you do make those new genius latkes please do post the results with your usual stringent critique.

Those latkes are absolutely beautiful!    Do you have a special recipe for horseradish vinaigrette?   Sounds divine.

 

Not really. My base vinaigrette is olive oil and apple cider vinegar with a dab of dijon and pinch of salt.  I added enough horseradish until I got a discernible but not too strong note.  The "runoff" was nice on the steak too.
