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!

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.

Go to youtube and do a search on "hostas recipes"

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.

Veal schnitzel is my favourite meal. There is a place about 1/2 an hour away from us which has been in business for 75 years. My deathrow meal would be their schitznel Oscar (shrimp and crab in bernaise,) with red cabbage and fried potatoes. We haven't been as often as we'd like as they are grandfathered so don't have to be accessible and there is a very steep staircase from the parking lot to the restaurant and that is a tough climb for my husband these days. We still manage to make it there once a year for our anniversary.

Some meals over the past week or so...
.Mapo Tofu - added Japanese eggplant 'cos I wanted them! Had cooked these thin Pad Thai noodles and they were not right for this dish! Took them out and glad I had leftover rice in the fridge.

                                                                        

Sauteed Shrimp, chips and Shanghai Bok Choy. Curry gravy is a favourite for chips!

                                   

                                                      

 

Beef & Bitter Melon with the Pad Thai Noodles I cooked a couple of nights ago.                                                                                                                                                                                                                

 

Shake 'n' Bake BBQ Glaze for chicken legs. I had kept the stock left from poaching a chicken. Cooked the rice and the Chinese cabbage with it. Delicious rice! Reminds me of Hainan Chicken & Rice.

                                                      

Grilled Ground Chicken Burgers with Thai Basil, pan fried potatoes, roasted cauliflower and salad (strips of carrot, cuke, diced red onion, and feta cheese. I used Japanese seasoned sushi seasoning (a vinegar) as dressing.

 

                                                                           

                                                  

Breaded Pork Chops, a few shrimp, corn OFF the cob, new taters. WE loved VH Mango Chili dipping sauce on pork, chicken, fish, but they have discontinued it !!! Booo
