I think they came out a little dry. Mrs. L.A. said they’re good. I was hoping for a spiral sort of thing with the morsels inside. They turned out to be drop biscuits with chocolate chips. I could have saved time just by mixing it all together.
Sloppy Joes tonight. Haven’t made them in really long time, as in ten years. Standard recipe, unless someone has a better one.
I haven’t had sloppy Joes since the cafeteria in elementary school.
In our high school it was called “barbecued beef on a buttered bun”, a phrase that even made it into the senior class yearbook. My mother never made the stuff, and I never made it at home until I had kids. But it’s a really easy and tasty concoction. When I read the recipe, I thought hell, except for the lack of molasses, this is just barbecue sauce.
Barbecued beef implies not-ground beef.
General Tso’s chicken and white rice.
Liver and onions, pan fried potatoes.
Nearly the same here, except I apparently forgot to hit the “on” button on my rice maker an hour or so ago so it was just rice taking a cool bath. So now I have a nice stir fry sitting on the counter getting cold, while the rice is 40 minutes away.
Salad. We have lettuce, cherry tomatoes, diced roasted chicken breast, sliced hard-boiled eggs, sliced radishes, sliced cucumber, croutons, and shredded cheddar cheese.
Takeout pizza, Caesar salad, ice water.
Leftover slice of meatloaf on a few spoonfuls of mashed potatoes. Topped with Stonewall Kitchen Country Ketchup - a chunky, spicy, commercially made sauce that is so utterly addictive I have gone through three jars all by myself since the end of July.
I made two separate soups this morning. Uke Lady was going to get a Thai cabbage-tofu soup and I was having a kind of goyische matzoh ball soup – with chicken meat and a lot of vegetables – or a Jewish chicken and dumplings – matzoh balls instead of regular gentile dumplings.
She got sent home early – no one in Manhattan is doing anything today but talking about Trump – drank a bottle of wine, and went to bed.
I’m still drinking. Both pots of soup are in the fridge. I hope we’ll want them tomorrow.
Bone-in pork chops, mashed potatoes and niblet corn. Washed down with much bourbon.
Pan fried potatoes and sliced beef heart (rare), steamed whole-leaf spinach drizzled with vinegar.
Chicken and black bean chili, with locally fresh-made corn torts.
I made saag aloo today; my first try at it. Came out okay, but I should have chopped the spinach up and I overcooked the potatoes a little. And I’m definitely adding more black pepper than the recipe called for.
Still, it was edible and tasted enough like I expected that I saved the leftovers for lunches.
Had to look it up: Saag - Wikipedia
For me, sirloin stir-fry tonight with French bread and ice water.
Leftover roast lamb on homemade flat breads with tzatziki and arugula. Mmm!
Chicken wat. Leg quarter simmered in onion, peppers, cocoa, banana, peanuts. Served on the closest I can make quickly that resembles injeri. (Pancakes with some cornmeal stirred into the flour, just a little baking powder and a good dash of lemon juice.)
Fettucine alfredo, small tossed salad, ice water. Homemade brownies with raspberry jam for dessert.
