No. I can tell that he does not eat it as often as before. He declined any at dinner.  He also seldom ever eats left overs or the same thing two days in a row.  I have probably spoiled him.

 

Probably, but what a blessing to have him around.

Yep. And he seems to inspire you to keep your cooking game top notch.

Those almost look frankfurter-ish...is that what they are?

Yeap … the “homey” touch if you will. I would never put them in mine, but also have to admit that they truly belong and complete my moms. Family moments ☺️

It's this one.  It is just stacked up cheese ravioli with a pretty good beef and pork Bolognese.  I like the addition of the tomato sauce and some Parm.  We originally bought it for my in laws when they were still in their house and they raved about it so much that we tried one.  We like it a lot and it freezes very well.

Found a jar of fat, sweet cherries preserved in booze I made 2 years back. Ate the cherries with SV liver.

 

Other vegs are red kuri mash, and in the background are steamed Brussels, red cabbage, kale.

I froze a ton of southern Thai curry paste in the early days of the pandemic, and just defrosted for khua kling with chicken

[gfweb]

Pork picata.

 

[Wait. Wot]

Olive oil and butter fried baby bella mushrooms with homegrown onions and garlic seasoned with Penzey's curry powder, smoked paprika, cayenne, black pepper and sea salt. The last (!?) of this year's harvest of fresh broccoli, last year's frozen cherry tomatoes and purchased organic peas with curry powder.

 

Cooked with shrimp and bay scallops.

 

Sauce made with stock from shrimp shells, arrowroot and water blended with other ingredients.

That looks fantastic!

Red curry salmon (my last portions of coho from Wild Alaska) with home grown Thai basil and extra grachai. Somehow I managed to not overcook the crap out of this salmon either. Great. As I'm nearing the end of my Wild salmon, I finally figure out how to cook it properly.

Dinner was envisioned to be a mildly demanding recipe.  This is not that.  But it was good.

Time this morning to prep tonight's dinner before leaving for work.

Eggplant Parmesan Stacks ready for the oven.

Based on Lidia Bastianich's recipe.

That looks so good and so easy. What is the base sauce of your white pizza?

 

Just garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper.  Easy!

The old "when life gives you lemons make lemonade". Those tomatoes hopefully taste as lovely as they look.

No complaints here. MR H thought I had lost my mind during the unpacking. I got a subtle 'happy dance' from the curmudgeon when he unpacked the merguez. The sausage maker of the brand used to work for DanielBouloud. Perfect and tender. Straight to the freezer and will be enjoyed. 

For months to come...😜

Case of 12 boxes of pappardelle in the same order. Mom and Pop will get a nice box of goodies next visit.

We'll call this one Shrimp Serendipity or Confluence of Leftovers.  We had friends over this weekend and I bought some shrimp for an app but decided we were covered with bruschetta, artichoke tapenade, grilled sausage and St Andre cheese.   I sautéed the shrimp today in the tapenade and added the leftover luganeca sausage along with salt cured olives, capers and meyer lemons.

Your shape looks a little like the gemelli I posted last night, or had I extruded it myself I would have called farmer's pasta.

"OMG!  He's posting another pork chop with squash and latkes cooked on the NFG?"  Hey, I like my rut.  At least this time I didn't overcook the latkes or the squash!
