Dinner 2024

[haresfur]

Pasta con Costco, originally created to use up those huge jars of stuff you buy there. I'm not a member anymore so unfortunately no 4 bean salad, but the name lives on.

 

Semi-dried tomatoes, semi-dried olives in oil, roasted red pepper and artichoke hearts. Served with unexpected food gift tomatoes, bocconcini, and basil.

A few recent dinners.

Braised beef, pepper jack, cilantro, green onion tops and green Cholula quesadilla with a simple salad. Freezer gazpacho on the side.

Spinach and ricotta tortellini in a mushroom broth. Salad out of the shot.

 

[liamsaunt]

Sicilian style swordfish stew

Isn't it typical? Days after writing that prawn crackers aren't served in Chinese restaurants in China as they are in every 'Chinese' restaurant in the UK, they only go and serve me prawn crackers. In my defence, it was a Thai restaurant in China.

 

I visited with a friend who ordered. We had the aforementioned crackers; specifically Coconut Songkhla Prawn Crackers. The name has no mention of chilli, but they were spicy. Nicely so.

 

 

Other dishes were "Thai Emperor Pineapple Fried Rice" which came with came with yellow pestilence and pork floss.

 

 

Thai Style Shrimp Sauce "Lettuce*,

 

 

"Changmai Fried Chicken with Lemongrass"',

 

 

and "Traditional Tom Yum Goong Thai Soup".

 

 

(My translation of the names in Chinese - No Thai names were shown.)

 

* The lettuce  was celtuce tops aka AA choy or 油麦菜 (yóu mài cài).

 

It was all OK for a quick dinner - neither of us were particularly hungry. The chicken was by far the best dish - I'd go back for that alone.

First dinner cook at home in over 2 weeks:

 

 

Whole chicken, cut up and roasted with small potatoes, carrots, lemon. Leaving the breast whole like that means I hopefully won't overcook it (I didn't).

 

Plated for SE:

 

 

Sliced breast + skin, roasted vegetables, sautéed broccoli rabe.

[Neely]

Easter Sunday lunch was the usual roast lamb but this time I chose to serve it with Greek flavours of olives and crumbled feta with fresh salad ‘leaves’. My husband dishes up the peas and makes sure we don’t have too little LOL. 

 

 

 

Mint sauce on there as well

 

 

 

The ubiquitous Pavlova for dessert this time with raspberries, mango and passion fruit.

This past week has been the Week of Shelby eating what she won't get to eat for a while starting tomorrow.

 

Panko fried shrimp--shrimp was on sale at Sam's.  I'm sad I didn't buy more because they were really sweet and good.

 

 

 

Indianish carrot salad:  carrots, diced roasted salted peanuts, salt, turmeric, oil, cilantro and lemon juice

 

 

to go with chicken tikka masala (is it still called that if I added peas?)

 

 

SV'd steaks, fried potatoes and salad to use up leftover fried shrimp

 

 

 

I ordered a few things from Goldbelly to cheer myself up lol.  Subs from White House Subs.  Good.  You get 4 huge sandwiches that we are still eating on.  Along with that I got a couple of things from Hebert's Specialty Meats-Duck and andouille gumbo and seafood étouffée.  I should be able to at least eat some of the soup parts and if I can't, it's an easy meal for me to make for Ronnie.

 

 

Apple pie ice cream and a store bought cookie for dessert

 

 

Yesterday I made a lasagna for tomorrow night after my surgery.  I won't feel like eating but I won't have to cook at least.

 

 

With leftover Italian sausage and sauce from the lasagna I threw together a pizza

A lovely sunny Easter Sunday with some flower garden strolling and the first (woodruff flavored) ice cream of the season …

 

 

 

… led to Easter linner:

 

 

Featuring a 10h oven roasted leg of lamb …

 

 

It was perfectly tender and juicy. Served with the already reduced braising jus and herb butter.

 

 

Classic green string beans …

 

 

Caramelized leeks …

 

 

Mashed potatoes with roasted garlic, Parmigiano and aragula …

 

 

Beans braised in lamb stock with tomatoes and olives …

 

 

And some commercial potato croquettes (hooray for air fryers) …

 

Plus a nice red to appease the in-laws

 

 

Yum 🤗

 

 

No complaints. None at all.
 

Frohe Ostern, everybody 🐣

I buy them in a bag of 5kg and refill my potato storage container in the kitchen with it, so I can’t say for sure which floury potato was this batch. Normally in this region, it’s either Gala or Bintje …

Bryan Flannery saddle of lamb. Smoked over apple wood until 120F and then hard seared indoors to 135.

Served with smashed yukon golds and a romaine salad with shallots, dijon mustard and olive oil- sorry no pics.

Our dear friend known as the Croation Cuddler who now lives in Walla Walla Washington came for one night to visit 

We pulled some big guns.
