Dinner 2024

White bean chicken chili.  Pretty much it all came out of one can or another.  Used a frozen piece of Costco rotis chicken breast.  I did caramelize some onions and garlic before throwing in the canned and jarred items.  Topped with sour cream and cilantro.  For fast food, quite satisfying on a chilly day.

Ohhhh beautiful collards!  We didn't grow any this year and now I'm wishing we did.

I also have a bag anellini that I bought with that same intention and haven't gotten around to it.  Yours looks delicious.  Your nephew is wrong lol.

Gorgeous.  Puts me in the mood to get my Christmas decorations out.

This looks delicious.  Adding that to menu ideas for this week.  

 

You'd think that I fell off the trying not to eat many carbs wagon by what I'm about to post, but I've been trying I swear.  A lot of meals I haven't been taking pictures of because they are just too boring.  It's becoming harder, too, without all of the garden vegetables to choose from.

 

Roasted chicken, stewed tomatoes and scalloped potatoes.

 

 

Cabbage rolls--omitted the rice.  I should have used an additional egg or maybe tried some riced cauliflower in them....they were a little dry although the sauce was excellent.

 

 

 

Served over riced cauliflower

 

 

PIZZA.  I could have inhaled this whole thing

 

 

SV'd lamb chops, "rice" pilaf and salad.  The pilaf was actually really good.  Ronnie said he liked it better than real rice.  Ok, maybe he was being nice lol

 

 

 

Jalapeño cheese sausages, cauliflower Mac and cheese, sautéed peppers and onions and salad

 

 

 

We've tried the low carb/no carb thing but honestly, I could eat 4 litres of salad but if I don't have carbs with it,  still feel like I'm starving.

Charlie asked for Martini Chicken and I tried a bread roll recipe.  The Parker House rolls will go in my Thanksgiving folder for probable future use .  The big roll was lleft-over dough after I had filled the tray. The pasta and sauce are not part of the original Martini recipe.

Last night I was the keynote speaker for a fundraiser to raise money for the residence that is being built by LUSO - the Portuguese charitable organization that runs the day program that Kira attends.

 

There was an opportunity for vendors to sell various products before the dinner (the mercado) - lots of jewellery - some interesting socks, some live edge boards that were as smooth as silk, Portuguese wine and alcohol, a Tupperware vendor which I quite enjoyed checking out. There was one vendor who had dipped pretzels, liquorice etc - might get an EZtemper sale out of that - we shall see.

 

 

They call it the Compass Club - and their little giveaway was a cute chocolate box with a compass attached. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Didn't get pictures of the wines - the rose was my favoured one. I was exhausted and ready to leave by the time the port was served so I really didn't do it justice.

My vote goes to the lamb dinner. Looks great.

Everything looks and sounds wonderful except this, which I can't make out. Would you please explain "live edge board"? Thanks so much for posting, and I hope you get that sale.

A live edge board is one that still has bark along two edges.  Like this:

Savoury Dutch Baby with walnuts, roasted red peppers, feta, and mushrooms

[Dante]

Pork Country Captain over bulgur

[Honkman]

Cottage Pie - ground beef, onion, garlic, carrots, mushrooms, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, marsala wine, thyme, bay leaf, flour, cornstarch are cooked in beef broth and get topped with mashed potatoes (made with butter, milk, egg, scallions) and heated under the broiler.
