A very typical Chinese New Year / Spring Festival meal.

 

Rice noodles with home cured pork. While you can buy this meat in the markets, people generally prefer to make their own (and their own sausages).

 

 

 

And here are the cured meats.

This makes the whole house smell like New Years past!

 

 

My Mom used to make the cured meats before they were available in the stores in the city (1958). We lived in a small rural village, so Mom made her own, based on what she used to do in China. I love these meats cooked with rice in the sand pot.

Yeah.

 

Most people in rural areas still make them themselves, but many in the cities do too.

 

Yeah I love sand pot meat+rice too. But many other ways, too.

Using cottage cheese instead of salad dressing is brilliant. I usually just eat it with fruit or tomatoes and basil or spread on toast with lots of pepper. I really, really like cottage cheese - always have.

I love it too! Except without the fruit, I lean savory for nearly everything and cottage cheese definitely. I use it in lieu of dressing because-way more protein and usually less calories and I need less calories.

Ribollita Stage III: I added some leftover ribollita to a rich, brown chicken stock in this stage. The soup was freshened with some frozen veggies and some additional spices were added to somewhat change the flavor profile. The resultant soup was topped with 9-month-old freshly grated Pecorino Romano. Trader Joe's Corn Dippers were served alongside. A lightly brewed Himalayan black tea was the chosen beverage.

Off-the-shelf Lunch:  I added a small chipotle pepper and some of the adobo sauce to a container of TJ's Low Sodium Tomato & Roasted Red Pepper soup, gave the mixture a ride in the Vitamix, and ended up with a subtly smoky and lightly piquante cup of soup for a simple and surprisingly tasty lunch.
