Had some zucchini, yellow squash and kielbasa to use up. Sauce was reconstituted guajillo, pasilla, and mulato chiles, garlic, and white onion, fried and mixed with chicken stock, cumin, nutmeg, etc. Sautéed the squash and meat separately to maintain texture. Calabaza con Colorado?

 

 

 

Braised baby potatoes with garlic and bay leaves.

I like the nutmeg add. Nutmeg, mace and allspice have been on my mind to do  lately. in a spicy prep - sort of Caribbean.

One of our friends is from Trinidad. She described Caribbean food as flavorful but not chile-hot. That was pretty much our experience. Have fun!

Pasta with home made chicken nuggets, with garlicky gravy

Okay,  I would eat that. I bet it would be wonderful served over mashed potatoes too.

 

Presalted a NY Strip Steak yesterday and grilled it tonight.

Moe and I shared it.
I offered to make roasted potato wedges to go with the steak and salad,

but Moe said he would be happy with just the salad.

Red Beans and Rice from the freezer. My husband has ended up back in the hospital and will be having another surgery tomorrow. I'll be freezer foraging in the mean time.

Sorry to hear hub in hospo and best wishes. Sometimes it is a fun adventure to play with all the freezer stuff and start anew.

I love carrots!  The only vegetable I don't like is kohlrabi.  I'm also not a huge fan of swiss chard but I will eat it without complaining.

 

Nobody in my house likes corned beef, so our St. Patrick's Day meal was fish and chips with homemade tartar sauce and cole slaw.  The slaw has finally allowed me to declare victory over the cabbage glut we had in the house from my CSA.  Over the past couple of weeks I've gotten the stash down from seven mixed red and green ones to one half of one small red cabbage.  Now I have to start working on whittling down the three gallon sized ziplocks completely filled with carrots.

My birthday is St. Patrick’s day and I really can’t stand the typical corned beef and cabbage. This looks amazing— I’d just sub  the tartar sauce for malt vinegar. 
 

Having people try to push food for a holiday that happens to be your birthday is the worst when you don’t like it. 
 

  My parents got complaints for years because they didn’t name me Meghan. My name has Welsh origins close enough! 😂🙄

Realizing your innate artistic flare, my imagination goes in various directions with those potato 'buns' and whatever is coming out from between them!

My mom and step-dad gave me a gift certificate from Goldbelly for Christmas.  Decided to use it for this last weekend--fun stuff to eat while watching all of the March Madness games.

 

Ribs from Philippe Chow

Really good.  Came with a honey sauce--was hesitant about that be we loved it on the ribs.  And chopsticks with these cute chopstick holders.  Not exactly sure why......maybe ribs are eaten with chopsticks?  I certainly am better just using my hands lol.

Pork soup dumplings from Nom Wah (always have wanted to try them and I certainly wasn't disappointed!)

That confused me for a moment. I thought you had sneaked into my house and taken a picture of the pandas. I have some near identical ones. Well, one is identical, but the other two are in slightly diffferent positions.

I'm also fond of these chopstick rests which came with a matching serving plate.

I'm a bit confused by these, though. The Chinese on the package reads '小籠包' which are xiaolongbao. They aren't what I call soup dumplings. Did they contain soup?

Check your closet....I might be in there as we speak.

 

I should have taken a picture of the inside.  There was a pork mixture and maybe a teaspoon of broth...I thought soup dumplings were only filled with broth and expected a far soupier situation going on.

Soup dumplings (汤包 - tāng bāo) always only contain a little soup alongside the pork and are larger than xiaolongbao. I posted more on this here. What you have is misslabelled. They are 小笼汤包 (xiǎo lóng tāng bāo, small basket soup dumplings.)

 

Anyway, you enjoyed them which is what matters.

First day of spring, but it is still cold enough out in the garage where the freezer is located to defrost and organize what all I've stuffed in there over the winter!
Still pretty "well stocked", eh? There will be NO protein shopping until this lot is reduced substantially! There are 12 lbs of Lactantia butter ( sale of $4.97 / lb!) in the freezer door as well as about 12 lamb chops (Safeway markdown). Seems I am still shopping for 5 but cooking for 2. 😅

Cooking from the freezer supper last night. Hubby had Steak and Kidney "stew" that was meant for pie. Perogies from the freezer but not the sugar snap peas. 😉

Found 2 beef rib bones, so I had one with perogies and peas. The second bone is being made into Beef & Barley soup for tomorrow's lunch.

Last night's dinner, Mother's Day here in the UK. One daughter wanted lamb, the other pork, so I did both. 

IMG_20230320_213250.thumb.jpg.1b1eaed0c4c205761443553945cd57e5.jpg

The main development is that I finished the crackling in the air fryer. Guess what? Light, crispy, crunchy. The missus said it was the best ever.

It's still not what I'm looking for, but it was good.
