Dinner 2021

Rainy day and no much planned so decided to give this a try- upright baked rigatoni. Rigatoni is cooked just shy of of al dente, then stuffed with a ricotta,spinach and pesto mixture via piping bag. Covered in tomato sauce and then cheese. Additional sauce served on the side. It was fun to play with but in the end it was baked rigatoni.

@Katie Meadow's faux spinach souffle.  I tested at 29 minutes but it was somewhat overdone.  Good, and satisfying nonetheless.  Though to be a proper substitute for Stouffer's it would need rather a good bit more sodium.  For the recipe I went with mostly milk but I think it would be improved by a higher proportion of cream.

 

Served with Philips-grilled Australian lamb,

I agree that a bit less time in the oven would have been better. And I also agree that if you add twice as much salt it's closer to the original. But these days I am finding most commercial products and most restaurant food way too salty. I'm desperate for take-out that isn't over salted but I keep being disappointed when we try new places. So, it's back home on the range.

Hamburger and such for supper: Hubby likes cooked onions; I wanted raw onions and lots of greenery.

Biang Biang Noodles!   I got this from Xi'an Famous Foods off of Goldbelly.   I read so much about them and these noodles.   It is ingenious how they shipped it.   They included the raw noodle dough and then instructions (good You Tube clip) on how to pull the noodles.  

 

I wasn't sure....but my god, I see what the fuss was.  I was addicted to these noodles and even did my own thing with them making a Lobster Chongking style over the noodles.   This was the original Mt Qui Pork stew from Xi'an Famous Foods.   Doesn't look like much, but the texture of these noodles and the sauce, it is a game changer!

Spicy Beef Noodle Soup!  Chengdu Style.   So good....homemade broth, used beef shank which was perfect.

 

I could go for your soup this minute as breakfast. Beef shank does make a nice gelatinous broth. I feel comforted just looking at the pic.

Pre-pandemic, I used to get these all the time at their location near me...

I very much doubt that.

 

It is absolutely gorgeous baked rigatoni.

 

I jumped the gun a bit on St. Pat's, as I'll be on the road the rest of the week.

Waited too long to SV, so I plunked this in a dish in the oven @300F with the potatoes and carrots about 12:30 p.m. Sunday; added the cabbage about 4, and pulled it about 5 and let it rest 30 minutes. Very good. This was a point cut from Kroger.

 

Lots left for sandwiches and hash.

I played around with Duck Confit a L'Orange

That looks delicious.  I love an orange sauce with duck.

 

Last night's dinner.

I know you're not a huge salad fan, but did you like this?  Looks SO good to me.

@Shelby, yes, although NOT a big fan of salad or fish, I do love spot prawns.  And avocado.

 

This is a "salad" I've been making for years. Makes  a nice first course for a dinner party.

In progress, using fresh littlenecks and a can of Spanish cockles.  Started out similar to making paella, and then added clam juice and stock (a cup at a time) made from shrimp shells, stirring occasionally.

Clam soupy rice with chorizo, shallots, garlic, tomato, peppers, espelette, saffron, stock.

I don't use my broiler much - sucker gets hot!  These wings could've probably been moved down a shelf, but I rescued them in time.
