Tuna melt, green beans with almonds and grapes tonight. Spaghetti pizza, garlic bread and salad tomorrow.
Soup
Forecast for the week
Soup
Made a lot of soup yesterday
Today’s been a parade of chicken and waffles leftovers. My sweetie is either secretly letting me kill myself through indulging my worst impulses, or she honestly regrets that there’s no more chicken and waffles left to eat. She’s offered to pick up more of them tomorrow, which will probably be our last trip to Central Market in Fort Worth, the ones in Dallas are further away and the nearest HEB is further still. Shopping will be different in our new digs, so she might just be wanting to indulge herself before the easiest menu options change.
Either way, I’m not going to argue. When you add hot sauce to your chicken and waffles, it offers all the pleasures of General Tso’s chicken, but you get a waffle (butter optional) instead of the rice.
I swear, I’ll eat healthier after we’re done moving.
Chowdah.
I took a corn chowder recipe, but cut out most of the corn and replaced it with shredded turkey, diced squash, and green beans. I made enough to carry us through to 2022.
Pulled Pork Roll-ups. Heated tortillas filled with pulled pork, barbecue sauce, shredded lettuce, pickled jalapenos, avocado, and salsa.
I love pulled pork, so I watch the grocery store for whole pork loin to go on sale. Every few months they are 50% off. I buy one and cut it into 5-7 individual roasts, trim off the fat, then vacuum bag and freeze them.
When I want pulled pork I thaw one, then sous vide at 165 Fahrenheit for 24-72 hours. Shred the meat with two forks and add sauce of choice!
Got a chuck roast so will be chopping it up for stew. Braise the meat with herbs and spices and corn starch and make caramelized onions and brown the celery add carrots , turnip or whatever round starchy thing, tomatoes and mushrooms, bring up to simmer then in the oven for 4 hours at 250F
Probably served with mash potatoes steamed peas and corn and Randall’s very good rustic baguette.
Likely several glasses of vino tinto.
Cashew butter on two slices of homemade wheat bread, carrot and cucumber sticks, some honeydew slices.
Yes, I often eat light and simple. Just don’t feel like going to a lot of effort tonight, and not terribly hungry.
Saw @romansperson 's tuna melt and shamelessly decided that would be a fine dinner idea. Accompanied by a side of steamed edamame and sea salt.Two bite brownies for dessert.
And it totally is! You can make it as simple or fancy as you want, doesn’t take much time to do and even mostly good for you (as long as you don’t use too much cheese …).
Stir-fried vegetables (sliced cabbage, carrots, onions, kimchee) and beef. I used saved bacon fat for the grease.
PIZZA. Did the 24 hour cold ferment from this recipe with my best results yet. Constantly trying to improve my dough. Any pizza makers out there that can vouch for that recipe/technique in terms of being authentic to New York style?
I’ve been wanting to try this. I’ll give it a go this weekend, thanks!
Pizza as well. The local Randalls does a really good premade dough as well as French baguette do we will be seeing how the new oven works out for pizza.
Chorizo jalapeno mushroom and black olive for me. Traditional fresh tomatoe basil for Mrs mollusc and daughter ,Hawaiian for the boys.
Vegan cauliflower and cheez dish meant to mimic mac ‘n’ cheese. Made by my daughter, who’s on a very restrictive allergy-elimination diet. It was very good! Tasted more like cauliflower in cheese sauce than mac&cheese.
OK, cheating again – I hope that’s OK. Looking forward to dinner, but not made by me, but by a commercial enterprise, albeit a very special one: a wonderful gourmet food store that I drop into once in a while, the one whose store-made pasta sauce is still the best I’ve ever tasted. Tonight: wild mushroom and roasted garlic lasagna, with Caesar salad on the side. I’ve had it before, and as a lover of the texture and subtle taste of mushrooms (and of garlic) it’s a real treat!
Stir-fried teriyaki chicken with broccoli and pineapple. But I’d rather be having @wolfpup’s wild mushroom and roasted garlic lasagna.
@wolfpup, it’s not cheating post about a bought dinner! The thread is what you’re eating for dinner, not what you’re cooking for dinner. But I do think you should be getting some dessert to go with your dinner to make it a balanced meal.
We’re in the middle of moving (paused by the imminent foul weather), so we ordered from one of our favorite pizza places that we won’t be able to get easily after leaving Ft. Worth - Zoli’s!. We chose the square, fluffy Hylander as the form of our destructor - sausage, basil, roasted tomatoes, mushrooms and vodka sauce. Dessert will be more pizza and beer.
Everyone seems to be in a pizza mood lately! I made pepperoni roll tonight, mainly because I had a box of puff pastry in the freezer and some leftover pepperoni and pancetta I needed to use up. Absolutely not health food (we’re waiting for our arteries to slam shut as I type), but it sure was good.
Tomorrow is chicken marsala - also not health food, but I wanted to make something special.
The weather has been absolutely miserable lately so we’ve been wanting warm, heartier stuff.
Heh, technically doesn’t qualify for the thread since it was lunch, but lunch today was artery clogging habanero Ro-Tel/Velveeta dip and chips. Delicious, warm, cheesy calories.
Last night was homemade tourtiere and steamed mixed veg seasoned with marjoram and alder smoked sea salt, Dessert was Manhattans, a few of 'em.
Tonights Valentine’s Day feast will be baked snow crab legs w/ Baltimore Bay Lime seasoning and garlic butter for dipping, sweet kale salad with poppy seed dressing, crusty bread for sopping up.
Chocolate fondue made with Toblerone, pound cake, satsumas, and apple chunks for dessert.
Amarone with dinner and a glass of Glenmorangie for me with dessert.
