Biscuits and gravy a la campanella.

 

In the south, sausage gravy is basically black pepper bechemel. I saw this pasta shape, which I'm calling campanella after my favorite Liszt riff on Paganini, and thought it would do well with a mushroom cream sauce. Then I thought of adding sausage. The "Italian biscuits and gravy" idea was born. It has nutmeg and white pepper and fennel in the sausage, so it has definite old world flavor. But it has pork sausage and black pepper, so it tastes like home.

 

The mise was some torn oyster mushrooms, confit onions, sauteed baby bellas, and some cooked mild Italian sausage. I also made a classic béchamel with nutmeg and white pepper, but also black pepper because I hate white pepper. I only bought some recently to see if I still hate it. I do.

Tossed the pasta through with the cream sauce, onions, sausage, and mushrooms. Then I topped it with crispy oyster mushrooms and fresno chilis.

As far as southern-Italian fusion goes, this was a hit. I'd put it on a menu. I'd order it again. I'd pay someone money to make it for me. I'd pay someone to do the dishes.

What a great idea - looks fabulous. I will join you in the no white pepper camp. It has always tasted off or weird to me, can't even describe it

Unauthentic Enchilladas for the boys - but at least I didn't use a kit (for once)! 

Chicken, refried beans, capsicum, corn, onion in the stuffing.

How do we serve these without second degree burns? 🤔

That is a whole lotta cheese and sauce. I think you have to treat it like lasagna. Let it cool and set, then use a wide spatula sorta cutting between the rolled tortillas (if you can find them ;)

White pepper just tastes “musty dusty fusty” to me. That’s the best description I’ve come up with.

 

Sounds to me you are buying stale peppers. Or, please no, pre-ground.

I recall reading that some people cannot taste pepper.

I was going to make this dinner yesterday (Tuesday) On Monday, I asked Charlie if he would like to go out for lunch on Tuesday. He said he didn't think he'd be able to do it so I forgot about it and started doing dinner later on. Right after I put the Mac and Cheese in the oven around 4:30 he came in and said he could go to dinner with me in about 45 minutes. The mac n cheese went in the fridge and the rest got finished today.  The mac&cheese is an Ina Garten recipe.  I didn't think much of the way it tasted before it went in the oven but we both loved it when it came out.  Charlie said I could skip the tomatoes next time though.

Sounds really good. Love the ceramic plate.

牛肉炒面 (niú ròu chǎo miàn), beef fried noodles (chow mein).

 

A generous plateful, featuring the beef and noodles but also including Chinese celery, garlic, carrots, cabbage, water spinach, soy sauce and chilli.

I also got to see the motorcycle courier bringing it on the GPS tracking system, taking a wrong turn and tie himself in amusing knots trying negotiate the one way system around my home. He got here in the end and the food was still hot.

Looks delicious.  I love tomatoes in macaroni and cheese.

Sometimes it has to be …

 

Double quarter-pounder with cheese & bacon. Served on a brioche bun with Dijonnaise, pickles, tomato and a touch of hot sauce.
