Dinner 2025

[Dante]

Bell pepper, poblano, and quorn curry with yoghurt sauce over couscous.

Dinner tonight was a packaged confit duck leg with my caponata, duck fat sauteed (?) baby potatoes and I also made an orange sauce.

Not an especially great-looking photo and a supper best eaten alone. Baguette, a bit of cheddar, brie, tomato, spinach, arugula and olive oil. My teeth felt like they were coated with gooey cheese and greens.

Two dinners -

Tuesday we a roast beef dinner with our traditional sides, including Yorkshire Puddings.

 

And yesterday's dinner was Greek with lamb shanks, potatoes, rice and a Greek Salad.

Fall-like weather, and this hit the spot after working at garden clean-up all day: Beef & Tomato with jasmine rice

Thanks Rotuts.

I'm sorry to have to call this dish "not ready for primetime cioppino".  The sauce was great but the shrimp, crab and scallops had an off flavor and the clams were kind of anorexic.  It turned out to be a pretty expensive photo op☹️

Through the KC Star newspaper I have been getting free NYT recipes. Yesterday was one titled American Itallian Meatballs.  It had ricotta and Romano cheese as well as parsley, garlic and egg. Cherlie said it was good but liked our regular recipe better.  I made two loaves of French bread this morning. One went to make garlic toast for today and plans for tomorrow is to use the other to make Bahn Mi sandwiches.

That bread is truly gorgeous!

We had cioppino on the menu in one restaurant where I worked. One day we were out of the wine that we usually used to make it and substituted another. The sauce still tasted fine but it gave all the seafood an off taste. Could that have been part of your problem?

An insanely bad day/week. Supper was vintage penne (found in the back of the cupboard) with leftover canned chili. Not great. Not horrible. Lots of leftovers. Sigh. Don't judge.

I've decided that roasting a whole chicken can sometimes be a bit too much for the two of us, and forces me to eat chicken for a few days in a row; not necessarily a bad thing, but Sig Eater makes it known that she'd like something different!  Also, we're going away this weekend, and I didn't want to have to toss any. So...

 

 

I bought a whole Snowdance Farm heritage bird (on sale, @rotuts!) and split it in half. Froze one half and roasted the other. Above shot is prior to going into the oven, after 8 minutes browning the skin side.

 

 

Kenji's really good roast potatoes.

 

First time turning on the oven since March - might as well make good use of it.  (Of course, the heat is coming up in our building - don't get me started!)
