The farmers daughter who served the meals was visibly impressed

This is starting to sound like an interesting premise for…I dunno…Netflix?

@RWood, thanks for that. The instructions are clear and I like the way you've laid out that recipe. I don't think I've ever put dill in my spanikopita before; I can imagine that making a difference. Question: why 1# 4oz of spinach? Is that the usual size of a package?

John used to buy the big bags of spinach at Costco (in California) that weighed 2 1/2 lbs. He found that it would make two pans perfectly,  so I halved the recipe when I wrote it up for the cookbook. As I said, I just kinda wing it now. The pan in the photo is smaller than the recipe. I used a 10 oz container for it.

With a surplus of broccoli, I did what any self-respecting Italophile might:  pasta with broccoli (not rabe) and sausage.

A couple of meals from the last week or so, all picked by my nephew.  Chipotle style (I guess?) rice bowls

 

 

 

Another day he grilled some peri peri style chicken, and I made a big salad and some crisp roasted potatoes with a creamy cilantro dipping sauce that everyone really liked

Grilled Asparagus and Prosciutto Salad - mixed baby greens and diced prosciutto are combined with a vinaigrette made with olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, dijon mustard and chives. Topped with grilled asparagus and served with grilled Italian sausages

Deeply jealous of the beautiful and abundant elk.   How do you smoke it?  And what cut?

[C. sapidus]

Chuu chii curry bay scallops. Red curry paste was half commercial and half homemade (I was missing some key ingredients). Made with cooked-down coconut cream, so very rich.

 

 

Fried rice with shiitake mushrooms and roasted Poblano chile.

This was a roast that was smoked on a Traeger until 130F.

(Approx 3 hours at 180F, heavy hand on salt, pepper, and garlic powder.  Looking at the raw and cooked pics, pretty sure this was a round. '23 Archery season adult cow from the Missouri Breaks of eastern Montana, taken by my partner.)
