Dinner 2025

[patti]

My supper on Thursday when I was too tired for much effort. Blackened chicken strips (frozen from Costco), air fryer green beans, and a small salad with a couple of heirloom tomato slices that were surprisingly okay. And a little bit of Ranch from a packet for dressing the salad and dipping the chicken (the only way it is halfway decent).

 

 

 

I had leftover tortilla pizza for supper last night. Low carb wheat tortilla, Rao’s pizza sauce, Italian blend shredded cheese, sausage crumbles, red bell pepper, mushrooms, and bits of leftover rotisserie chicken. At lunch the chicken was less dry.

Went out for some sushi earlier this week...I decided to have chirashi:

 

 

It may turn out to be my standard order, as it was really good.

 

I decided to pivot away from making meatballs to making meat loaf.  And I practically followed a Serious Eats recipe to the letter, because I wanted to see if it was really that much better than a classic meat loaf recipe, say from Julia or James or whomever.  It was a bit more complicated than I think a meat loaf recipe needs to be. But:

 

 

It came out pretty nicely; I glazed half of it.  Also made a semi-quick pickle:

 

 

And some potato salad:

 

 

I don't think I'll follow the recipe from Serious Eats the next time I decide to make a meat loaf, as I can get results just as good without making myself nuts.  Though I will say this experiment was quite juicy and tasty.  I'm actually looking forward to cold meat loaf sandwiches.

That's Kanoyama.  I was surprised at the quantity and variety of fish on the chirashi, and the rice was perfect.  Better deal than the sushi special, I think.
