Dinner 2026

[C. sapidus]

Leftovers from yesterday's family holiday meal: spinach soup (palak shorva) mixed with stir-fried cabbage with fennel, my brother's scalloped potatoes, and some crumbled feta. Too late, Mrs. C pointed out that we also had leftover ham, which would have been nice.

 

Mrs. C will only eat palak (or saag) dishes with the lights very low, claiming it looks too much like messes she had to clean up in patient rooms at the hospital . . .

Last night. Clams with bamboo shoot and Hunan pickled hot 🔥 peppers.

 

 

 

[sartoric]

There was a bowl of things, shredded roast chicken, baby pak choy, vermicelli noodles, crushed peanuts in bone broth.

 

Then, another bowl of things. Laksa with prawns, tofu puffs, rice noodles, more pak choy and toppings. Note a new bag of bean sprouts. Countdown is reset.

@Duvel, I had not heard of baking cheese in the container like that. Fascinating!

 

 

Last night was yet another bagged salad from a kit--I buy this kit when I see it for the little cheddar cheese pretzel balls. They are delicious and I can't seem to find them to buy anywhere. Plus another meatball. I froze the remaining 2 meatballs.

Shiitake and scallion pancake.  A tad disappointing compared to what we get at Asian restaurants.  But my dipping sauce perked it up. 

[YvetteMT]

Pasta with bear sausage

 

 

And since I have dental work again this week,  I made one of partners favorites that I don't like- turkey. With mashed potatoes and stuffing (both should be soft enough for me post dental work)
