Dinner 2024

[Ann_T]

Last night's dinner.

Roasted a small chicken

and served with fries and TBQ sauce.

 

I recently bought another CSO that I found listed on our local FB Marketplace.

I bought to have at work.  Should have done this years ago. 

 

Roasted the chicken at work so only had to make the fries when I got home.

Neither my niece or I enjoy turkey, so on Friday while everyone else was enjoying the Thanksgiving leftovers, we had salmon lettuce cups with rice and cucumber salad

 

 

Last night my nephew cooked for us.  He made a butter chicken with maharajah rice and paratha

I'm not a fan of jerk chicken wings but that is one beautiful plate.

Gong bao chicken with cashews; roasted acorn squash glazed with maple syrup, ginger, and butter; and roasted potatoes. The squash was ridiculously yum for how easy to make.

Penne and pesto, after non stop salads the last few days it was a relief to have some pasta.

sliced boneless pork chops with Calabrian chili sauce ( homemade chicken stock, garlic, parsley, butter and jarred Calabrian chili) and salad

Thanks for the suggetion. I will look into it.  I had a full sized one a while back.  I used it until it fell apart.

Our back door neighbors left a box on our porch with a Christmas card.  The box contained three pasta packages with snowflake, snow men and sleds shapes and directions of what to do with them.  I was a little hesitant about doing pasta kits but I have tried two now and they were pretty good. One was chili. I hoped it wasn't going to be a version of Cincinnati chili.  It wasn't. That was a couple days ago. Today I got some frozen tamales and steamed them then topped them with some of the left over chili.  The other one I tried was a chicken noodle soup. I used up most or the left over turkey with it.

 

While I was eating some, I was thinking about the time when I was growing up on Strawberry Hill. It was a working class neighborhood. Most people worked in the nearby stock yards or in railroad maintenance yards.   We lived in a second story apartment and my bedroom window over looked a tavern across the street. Every night a guy with a tamale push cart  would go around the neighborhood and stop at the taverns in the neighborhood.  (there were three in a block and a half on our street) Dad would get some for us from time to time.  I can still hear him calling loudly HOT..MALES   HOT ..MALES .

Crying tiger and coconut rice. Later this evening I will grill a ribeye for a friend who is stopping to see us on the drive from Cape Cod to San Antonio.
