Fritatta using good but excessive veg/greens in the crisper. Lots of eggs from the farm share. Bottom crust of mandolin potatoes and sweet potatoes.

Side salad of celery, fennel, red onion, avocado

@Annie_H your frittata looks amazing.

Muffuletta, oysters, tater tots and onions rings for Fat Tuesday

 

 

 

 

 

I used the method from Serious Eats for the onion rings--you cut the rings and then freeze them.  Worked really well.

 

Roasted chicken, potatoes and sprouts

 

 

Last night Ronnie battled the wind and did steaks on the grill.  I stayed in and made baked potatoes and broccoli --and Cheese Whiz!!  

 

[Annie_H]

^^^Wow, oysters and a Muffuletta. Perfection.

 

We had FatTuesday Rice and Beans. Salmon is an odd pairing but could not locate the chunk of Taso in the freezer. And a 

Mardi Gras Slaw, dressed with spicy sesame ginger lime mayo

Nice veg bowl lunches with ramen eggs, avocado, and seared tofu

Little one spend a week with his grandparents at the Baltic sea coastline, and today I went to my hometown to pick him up from his vacation. As my parents and the little one also just arrived today afternoon from the north, I offered to arrive a bit early and prepare dinner. All three requested lasagna - and my father casually mentioned he wouldn’t mind if there were some leftovers for another day … 🤗

 

So, this is ~4.5 kg of Marcella‘s ragu alla bolognese (short rib version), ~3.5 kg of besciamella, 750 g of dried pasta sheets and maybe 400 g of grated Parmigiano - in IKEA‘s largest oven form.

 

 

 

Dinner was great (with some nice wine). There were a few leftovers, much to the delight of my father ☺️

Yes and the lemon looks quite thin skinned - Meyer? Always a nice floral different alternative.

Too yellow to be Meyer.  Needs more of an orange tinge.

 

My guess, at least 😛

 

Oh - @Duvel - that lasg looks epic, btw!

Not to quibble - and not sure where you live and I could certainly be wrong but it was my gut reaction

It depends on the ripeness of a Meyer.   They turn a deeper, more orangey yellow when really ripe.    Or ours do.

Nothing like a grand cru chablis- Domaine Servin Les Preuses

I made two paneer dishes last night: saag paneer and mutter paneer.  With rice and a modified naan recipe--I swapped in whole milk for the water in the dough because I had some that was about to expire.  It made the dough a little stickier to work with, but the finished bread was a lot softer and more tender than my usual naan.  We liked it a lot.

 

[Annie_H]

I had all the ingredients on a 1/4 sheet pan to make a batch of Vivian's LittleGreenDress. Snipped into small rounds a couple merguez links and baby artichoke hearts searing. Brussels and romanesco. A fine dinner at that but ran out of steam and time for the LGD. Tossed some of the ingredients for the LGD into the pan with the lamb sausage. HailMary a package of egg noodles tossed in butter, lemon and a bit of pasta water. Had planned a tuna salad with LGD for lunches but with 8 ounces of pasta I had plenty for a couple lunches. 

DH walking in late, seeing the lack of a sauce, went for the hot sauce...."please taste first". Lots of goodies under the pasta. Just a pepper mill at the table. Side of veg.

Lovely - do you make your own paneer ? 

[gfweb]

Cod with romesco, greens, potatoes

 

[Margaret Pilgrim]

I kill for romesco.  

[heidih]

Nice sturdy looking greens - how did you cook them?

Collards simmered in white wine, chicken broth, with bacon, onion and red pepper flakes for about 3 hours.

Bison mapo tofu... my wife (who loves mapo tofu - it's probably one of her favorite dishes) said it was the best one I've ever made.  I agreed - it was addictive.  With smacked cucumbers with a lot of garlic, salt, MSG a touch of sugar, black vinegar and sesame oil.

Mapo tofu is one of my wife's and my favourite dishes too!  I make it every month or two.

Pork and potato korokke with home-made tonkatsu sauce, side of steamed rapini with nutritional yeast, butter, and umeboshi vinegar

[Dejah]

A couple meals this past week:

Seared Duck Breasts with spices and blood orange.  Breasts were scored then rubbed with cumin, fennel seeds, chili flakes, black pepper and salt. Sauce was red win e, sherry vinegar, star anise, and juice from blood oranges. It was a love change. Eaten with sweet tater and high fibre frozen mixed vegetables.
 

                                                                            

 

Yesterday, we had a late lunch of Har Gow, so supper was Char Siu  Noodle soup with Yu Choy

 

                                                                           

 

Made Spicy Butter Chicken with a jar of KFI sauce. Think I picked this up a while back at Costco. It was quite good - quick option for when I didn't want to mix my own spices, or use Patak paste.
Made brown Basmati rice and stir-fried mixed veg to clean up the crisper!
