Tonight is “Chickpea Jamboree Salad”: mixed greens in balsamic vinaigrette, topped with a mix of balsamic-dressed chickpeas, peperoncini, black olives, artichoke hearts, and sundried tomatoes, finished with mozzarella, frizzled pepperoni, and fresh basil.
Just finished getting a modified version of this:
In the pressure cooker. I used a pork loin (not tenderloin) seared and cut into thick chops along with a few other changes for my personal tastes (several serrano peppers among other things!). I saved some of the mojo to use as a dressing for a mixed green and sliced avocado salad as the side. Should be done in 45 minutes or so.
I feel like curry tonight, but alas, although I have the ingredients, the weather has turned colder and I can’t have windows and doors open to clear the house of the smell!
So tonight will be a suitable cold-weather dish: baked lasagna. Not homemade, but freshly made by a fine local supermarket with bolognese sauce and ricotta cheese.
I had the opposite happen. It had been warm here, it’s chilly now, but I planned a beef stew over the weekend and had the meat defrosted already. I should’ve checked the weather first, definitely a cooler weather dish.
Tonight was Chinese stir-fry. Was ok, but not nearly as good as the Chinese I had last Tuesday. Of course that was at Wazuzu (Wynn) in Las Vegas.
Tonight was a frozen breaded chicken breast stuffed with brie and chopped apple. It looked intriguing, so I got it try it out. It was delicious, but quite small. I have some pounded chicken breasts to make it from scratch next time. Oh, and a sourdough English muffin from a local bakery that was also delicious!
