Seared tuna with a tomatillo, chipotle, and avocado sauce. Stir-fried mustard greens with garlic and oyster sauce. These were intended as components of two different meals, but sometimes stuff happens.

 

Marinade was roasted tomatillo and garlic salsa with chipotles, sugar, and salt. Diced avocado was mixed in to make the creamy, tangy, spicy, and smoky salsa. Tuna was grilled over charcoal to medium rare (probably closer to medium on the thinner pictured piece).

 

Wow - I would order that at a restaurant in a heartbeat!

I suppose this is Happy Mother’s Day brunch 🤷‍♀️. 

”John’s” Special, roasted breakfast potatoes, sourdough toast, Prosecco and berries. 
John’s special is my mom’s husband’s take on Joe’s Special in SF. He used Italian sausage instead of hamburger. And it’s more frittata like instead of a scramble.

Check Home Goods & TJ Max. I’ve found them on clearance for under $10 ea. Regular price is $12-16 depending on which pan. I have several of them.

Green chilli flakes?  I don't think I've ever seen that.  I also didn't realize it was possible - I figured the green chillies would turn red while sitting out in the drying process.

Yes.  much more interesting flavor than red.  not easy to come by.

 

TJ's has a mix , mostly green a while ago , which they of course D/C'd.

 

I still have 3 unopened jars.

 

so I looked on line , and got the Sonoran.

 

 

have not tasted it yet.

 

Will use up the TJ's first.

Poached Chicken Thighs: These'll be used in some subsequent meals ... added to the recently made veggie-spaghetti soup, a rice dish with veggies, might even make a chicken salad. The broth will be used as a base for various dishes. I'll cook and mash up some Yukon Golds with it, freeze some for later ...

Late Lunch Leftovers: Yesterday I poached some chicken thighs. A couple-three days before I made a vegetable and broken spaghetti soup. Today I put some thighs together with the soup, adjusted the seasoning, and made a light but filling chicken-veggie-noodle bowl. Five minutes to put together.
