Dinner 2026

[C. sapidus]

Sri Lankan eggplant curry: Rub Japanese eggplant rounds with oil, sprinkle with S&P, and broil until reddened. Mix broiled eggplant with lime juice and ground cumin, coriander, cayenne, fennel, and turmeric. Saute black mustard seed, cinnamon stick, and sliced onions, add eggplant mixture, and then simmer with coconut milk and Thai basil leaves (sub for curry leaves). Serve with lime wedges.

 

House guest made bulgur with za'atar to go with.

 

Eggplant is one of my go-to dishes when Mrs. C is out of town - she does not enjoy the texture.

 

 

[Maison Rustique]

With the weather so crappy (More snow and temps headed to below zero), I am ignoring all the healthy food I bought to cook. Threw together a handful of biscuits and pulled sausage gravy out of the freezer. Just needed comfort food.

[Dejah]

Mung Bean Noodles with Chinese sausage, rehydrated dried shrimp meat, Napa cabbage. This was in place of rice. We also had a can of fried dace and black beans

                                                                                                               

 

Tried out another Weight Watchers recipe: Was supposed to be Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo. I subbed out the chicken with shrimp. It was great!
