Dinner 2025

[Steve Irby]

Dinner was a favorite recipe from Jody Adams In the Hands of A Chef that I haven't made in a few years.  Fazzoletti with lemon cream, pistachios, spinach and roasted tomatoes.

Hosta is a garden plant. The scapes are flower stalks.

Ah that makes a lot more sense. I didn't know what scapes are. Thank you!

Hosta - Wikipedia

 

also known as plantain lily, although technically that is just one specific cultivar of hosta.

My search for 'hosta scapes' was just a bunch of gardening shops saying it was out of stock. 'Cooking hosta' worked after gf's clarification

I spent most of my supper time throwing together a pasta salad to take to the new house because I've had a bad habit of going there to work and not eating all day. I'm running on empty. So, taking the salad over to have something to rely on when  I'm there. (No pix)

 

So, I had cooked some RG mayocobas day before. Supper was some rice topped with mayocobas and a little cheese with some Campari (Costco) tomatoes.

I made Moe very happy last night with my Caesar salad. Homemade dressing with a coddled egg,  homemade croutons, with blue cheese and served with a grilled chicken breast.

It isn't often he gets a salad for dinner. Those that know me, know that I could care less about salads. I can make them, I just don't care about them.

The recipe is our favourite Caesar salad is one that I have been making for 46 years.

 

Original recipe calls for Roquefort, but when I can't find Roquefort, almost any blue cheese will do.

Some random dinners over the past week or so:

 

 

Big old salad, Spanish tuna, feta, olives, etc.

 

 

Did some salmon in the donabe, served with above cucumber salad, potato salad, cole slaw.

 

 

Eel Bar is celebrating its first birthday, so we dropped in.  Only other picture I took was dessert:

 

 

The caneles with strawberries.

 

And finally, last night to Cafe Katja.

 

 

Where I had the Wiener schnitzel, with buttered parsley potatoes, lingonberries and a side salad.  A glass or two of Riesling went well.

This aggravates me.

Most (all) of the eel I see on menus here is at sushi bars.

 

But there are plenty of things on the menu to help alleviate your aggravation.  Have you ever, for instance, had Montauk red shrimp?  Or scallops (served raw on the shell) from the same area?

I was being a little tongue in cheek. However, if I went to Duck Bar and there was no duck ...😡
