Rigatoni alla Norma. Tomato sauce, eggplants, dry strong sirene (in lieu of ricotta salata), basil, toasted bread crumbs with olive oil.

Limoncello (last year's batch coming to an end). Mine mixed with a bit of gin.

Baked Chicken Legs & Rice 

 

"Mum, did you burn my chicken" 

"No it's just the spices" 

"It's okay if you did"

"Taste it it just went dark, it's fine"

"Fine like Charcoal" 🙃

 

LOL One of my stepdaughters is "weird" (her word) about anything even slightly dark on her food. This extends to toast, which she likes at a stage of just barely off-white.

I like mine a shade or two darker than most, so every time she visits overnight she calls out dramatically at breakfast time "Someone call a neurologist, I keep smelling burnt toast!"

Birthday dinner last night...

 

IMG_3540.thumb.jpeg.fd8f1712cca8d732213436e0babfb859.jpeg

 

First delivery of ready-to-eat food since pandemic began. The place I wanted to order from wouldn't deliver to us...too far. Yes, they are more than 2 miles away. So I took a chance and ordered from a fairly new place we'd never tried, but which had good feedback. They had actually opened 2 weeks before everything shut down here.

 

We were not disappointed. The chirashi platter (on the left) was for Significant Eater, and I had the sushi sashimi combo. They use partially milled rice, which is new to me for high-end sushi!! Don't worry, they didn't forget the uni - it was just hidden under the green stuff. There were 2 of these, just brimming...

Only disappointment is that I had no idea what some of the fish is.

Looks delicious. I haven't had sushi since lockdown. Was SE's birthday yesterday the 10th? Or was it yours? My daughter turned 33 yesterday!

@Ann_T – what are your veal rolls stuffed with?

 

Happy Anniversary to @weinoo and @Eatmywords!

 

@mgaretz – the sauce on your beef and broccoli is so nice and glossy and dark!

 

We’re still eating Super Bowl leftovers.  Last night was crab meltaways, meatballs, and deviled eggs:

Close up of the meltaways:

For those not familiar with this snack, let me educate you.  Like the grape jelly/BBQ sauce meatballs this is a 1960/70s throwback.  You mix crabmeat, mayo, butter, processed cheese spread, seasoned salt and garlic granules.  That is spread on English muffin halves and frozen.  Those are cut into quarters and frozen in a bag.  When ready to serve, you put them on a baking sheet and broil until bubbly.  Like the meatballs, they are ridiculous and delicious and disappear in a moment when set out at a party.

 

Served with a salad:

Thanks but it is pretty simple:  Mostly low sodium soy sauce, some oyster sauce, some cream sherry and a water/cornstarch slurry.

@Kim Shook  I just winged it.  So no real recipe.

 Sauted in butter, shallots, garlic, a little sausage meat, finely chopped mushrooms, fresh bread crumbs, chopped parsley, salt, pepper and seasoned with rubbed sage. Pounded out the veal cutlets, seasoned with salt, pepper and brushed with a little Dijon mustard, spread with filling and rolled. Browned in a little butter. Removed from the pan and made a sauce by sauteing sliced mushrooms, a minced garlic clove, added flour, cooked a couple of minutes, added chicken broth, salt, pepper and put the veal back in the sauce, covered and simmered for about 45 minutes until meat was tender. Added some heavy cream and served.

Back to the drudgery of cooking, yet keeping it simple...

 

IMG_3545.thumb.jpeg.444bb8078dc3daa65337a1669cd3b605.jpeg

 

Braised endive. Love this prep.

 

IMG_3546.thumb.jpeg.2b2a53f84139bc1e0602dd43acd61d7f.jpeg

 

Spaghetti with black truffles and parmesan. So good. So easy.

 

Now of this dish, Significant Eater mentioned how she could get used to truffles (and me preparing them, evidently). So I'm like - "Hey - these things are expensive. Get a job!" Then I'm like: - "Oh, you're the one with the job." 

 

The last of the truffles will be used in a brouillade.
