Dinner 2025

I recently picked up a Milk Street cookbook on a 50% off sale: The World in a Skillet.  The other night I made the spicy Korean-style braised cod. The recipe called for 3 tbsp. gochujang in the sauce, and I used two, because I thought it would be too spicy for my niece otherwise.  I omitted the potatoes and/or daikon radish called for in the braise because I was out of both. Instead, I tripled the greens, using a mix of spinach and baby bok choy since that's what I had in the house.  Everyone really liked it, clean plates all around.

green curry with shrimp.  Tonight's will be the same!

 

 

I asked partner if he has any food requests for when he got home so i could get supplies-BLTs is what he asked for!

I ordered this from my milkman. I honestly do not like this pizza but it was convenient so I got it and had a couple of small pieces of it last night. Shakespeare's is in Columbia, MO, home of MU. All my MU alumni friends/family love this pizza and I can only attribute it to good times getting drunk there because I find little to like about it--the meats on it are tasty, but the rest not. My sis was crying when I told her I got it. They are coming to help me this weekend--I'll save the leftovers for her. I only got it because I didn't want to go pick up a pizza somewhere and the only other pizza the milkman has is a cracker crust type thing that is even worse than this.

It could be a nostalgia thing.  Where I went to college, the most popular pizza place used to make pizzas with crazy toppings, and we all thought they were the greatest thing ever.  My favorite had tortellini on it!  I am sure if I ate it now I would get sick haha

 

Last night, another recipe from Milk Street's The World in a Skillet: sweet and savory skillet steamed eggplant.  Everyone really liked this one too, the eggplant was very creamy and flavorful.
