Dinner 2021

[jmacnaughtan]

For the first time in a year, I relented and made plov. Non-traditional, with pork shoulder, but still very much plov.

 

I love it, probably my favourite rice dish of all time (who doesn't like a greasy rice dish?), but it is not possible to make it in small quantities...

 

 

This was dinner for two, but will last for days. It's excellent in a tortilla wrap, too.

The "meez" (with apologies to Anthony Bourdain RIP)...

 

 

For a Chinese dinner.

 

 

Simple stir-fry. Salt, tiny bit of sugar. The rather unpicturesque main...

 

 

Mapo tofu.

Well, that sent me to Google. Sounds good. I may try it.

@Ann_T – your blue plate special looks delightful!  One of my all-time favorite meals.

 

@Margaret Pilgrim– the red cooked pork looks delicious and sent me off looking for recipes.  Did you use pork belly? 

 

Turned the leftover spaghetti and meatballs into baked spaghetti:

I’ve learned that in Italy this is known as Pasta al Forno.  I didn’t grow up calling it that.  Except for my great grandfather (who mostly cursed😁), my Italian immigrant family didn’t speak any Italian.

Chicken soup with roasted chicken, stock, carrots, onion, celery, spinach, bok choy, corn, peas, potato and rice.

 It should be made with belly but I used on-hand shoulder.

Do you dip your grilled cheese in ketchup?

Looks good.  One thing I've been adding to my veggie stir fries is a bit of chicken powder. Takes it from great to "is this from teh restaurant?"

i've been known to do so, on occasion, when there's not tomato soup, or a spicy pepper paste available. but this was for the so. i don't really eat bread or carbs much these days so i just some of the melty cheese. :V

I love dipping in ketchup....even better adding a fried egg.....

 

I'm hungry.  Ignore me lol.

Dinner was take out because the tuna I took out for dinner didn’t defrost. Pizza (pretty good) and a pasta (not good). However they also gave us 2 slices as a bonus (veggie) because they had extras, so DH has lunch for tomorrow (as the pasta leftovers were binned). I guess the net result was positive.

The whole (for me, anyway) idea is for it to be better than from the restaurant!

Tonight's soupy rice, with scallops and chorizo. Shrimp shell stock the liquid.

My husband bought two big bags of string beans from Costco and not happy, thinking we love them, bought some more today. Expect some string beans dishes in the next few days 🤣 Fish is almaco, which I hope not to see in a while 😙

And I was thinking Germany had cheap pork meat ... is this from a regular butcher/supermarket ? It definitely looks good, but(t) for that price I‘d probably only get roadkill here 😉
