goat cheese roll and Etorki.

 

Beautiful loaves!

 

And I don't think I've ever heard of Etorki.  Is it German?

Tonight's dinner.

I almost always grocery shop on my way to work. In fact I grocery shop almost every day. Something I have always done.

Wasn't sure what I wanted for dinner but decided while shopping that we would have a roast chicken dinner tonight.

Instead of buying a whole chicken I bought chicken breasts.

Had intended to roast two, but they were so big I went with just one.

 

Got the chicken seasoned and into the oven at about 5:40 and while it roasted put the potatoes on to cook, and snapped the stem end off fresh green beans.

Then since it was going to be a little while, I made us both Bloody Caesars. Between the celery, dill pickles, spicy dill green beans and the olives, Moe had a salad.

 

While the chicken rested, I mashed the potatoes and made the gravy.

The one chicken breast turned out to be more than enough for two.

Served with mashed potatoes and gravy and steamed green beans.

@Ann_Tyou are such a good cook!

Everything looks “right tasty” as my Uncle Stanley used to say.

Baby bok choy.  Jasmin rice.  Bok choy was fine.  I was disappointed by the rice.  The brand was Lundberg.

 

[Katie Meadow]

I've never had Lundberg Jasmine rice, as I'm not a fan generally of Jasmine rice. But I always have Lundberg Basmati on hand. I pretty much use it if I don't want Japanese short grain /sushi rice or Italian Carnaroli. Their organic Basmati was awfully good, but I don't see that around anymore; the non-organic is just called "natural" or some such mystifying term.

[Honkman]

Chili con carne with red kidney beans and green peppers - made with onions, garlic, ground beef, tomatoes, lard and spice mix of ancho chili, sirarakhong chili, cumin, basil, bay leaf, cinnamon and cloves. Served with sour cream

Thanks 🤗

 

Etorki is a French sheep cheese from the Pyrenees, very rich & tasty …

I think the Lundberg rice is sticker than other brands, even after rinsing and soaking.  I will use it in a pinch, but it's definitely not my preferred brand.  I buy my rice in big sacks since we eat so much of it.  I stick it in my garage freezer for a while after buying it to freeze out any pantry moth eggs.  I use Nishiki brand for short and medium grain rice and Swad for basmati rice.

 

Last night, Ottolenghi's butternut squash lasagna pie and a kale salad with toasted almonds, dried cranberries, and Boursin cheese.

 

[KennethT]

Sichuan style twice cooked mahi mahi.

 

 

With a piece of kuih for dessert

Everything looks so wonderful but what I want most is that Caesar!

I make mine with Absolut Peppar, outstanding!

After a busy Sunday (tax season in Germany) I felt too lazy to cook for the “starving” family. I felt too lazy to discuss ordering-in options. I felt too lazy to check the delivery apps. So I whipped together Spaghetti Carbonara* …

 

—-

*technically Linguini “Carbonara style”, because I chose Linguine which cooked in just 6 min, and I didn’t had Guanciale and subbed a German Pancetta derivative, but I felt too lazy to notice any major difference …

I have bowls that look like yours.

 

[RWood]

Ribollita without the bread. We prefer it without. This time I added some precooked orzo to the bowls, so that it wouldn’t suck up all the liquid (like the bread).

 And a really old bottle of Vampire Vineyards wine my cousin gave me. It was actually a lot better than I thought it would be. 

[Orbit]

Quail breasts roasted and basted with honey orange cumin glaze.

[kayb]

Red beans and rice. A pound of RG Domingo Rojo beans, a pound-plus of Andouille sausage, about a cup of ground ham, about a cup of diced roast chicken thigh meat. Tomatoes, green chiles, onion, Cajun seasoning. Chicken broth, bay leaves. Made a vat of it. It was wonderful, if I do say so myself.

Since the surprise snowstorm a little over a week ago, the weather has been spectacular, so this Sunday found us firing up the smoker once again.  This time, we decided to channel our inner flintstone and smoke a tomahawk and added some surf as well.    I'll confess, this was my first time doing lobster (I've no idea why, other than its something I think about when going out for dinner rather than making at home).  Because this is only on the smoker for a couple of hours, then reverse seared on the grill, I used the super smoke function on the smoker to add some extra smoke to it.   Also made our favourite potato salad again

Fagioli e Tonno.

 

Rancho Gordo cranberry beans, Callipo tuna.

 

[Dejah]

Another work and cooking session with the grandson. This is working out as he's been a big help cleaning up leaves, moving plant pots, etc.

We made wontons for lunch, with ramen noodles. I also tossed in some glutinous rice flour dumplings and julienne daikon. Dumplings were not a favourite for my hubby and grandson. They find the "globs of sticky chewy balls" hard to chew and swallow. LOL! I love them!

How was that squash lasagna?  I keep looking at that recipe and thinking "Could those things possibly taste good together?"

 

But I often think that about Ottolenghi recipes, and then am shocked by how delicious they turn out.

[Shelby]

@HonkmanVeal ragu!  Wow!

 

@DejahDelicious ramen noodle bowls.  I'd love one right now.

 

@kaybWelp, after seeing your red beans and rice you're going to force me to have to go down in the basement to see if I have any andouille sausage.  

 

@DuvelUm, your pasta certainly doesn't look lazy to me.  Looks amazing.

 

The usual hot wings

 

 

 

I'm reading the 2016 Dinner Thread now....apparently I got on a stuffed chicken breast kick when I got my SV set up.  I'd forgotten how much we liked this.  Fresh mozz, spinach and salami.

 

 

 

 

Crappy picture but really good.  And I have another one to eat in a couple of days .

 

 

Avocados going south so I found some pork enchilada filling in the freezer.

 

 

 

 

Also--from reading old threads--I realized I've severely neglected my Ninja air fryer/pressure cooker.  Did a chicken in there last night....

 

 

 

@Mmmpomps excellent potatoes again

 

 

[Senior Sea Kayaker]

 

Sunday lasagna. Served with a green salad. 

 

[rotuts]

@Senior Sea Kayaker 

 

that Lasagna looks terrific !

 

I see you have a deep dish for that 

 

do you recall where you got it.
 

deep lasagna pens , metal or glass  

 

( I like glass for the visuals ) )

 

ae not that easy to come by 

 

when they should be standard 

 

ir the depth has to be significant 

 

then you can make other sizes w that depth.
