Breakfast for dinner last night. Cherry tomatoes were discovered behind something and hastily thrown in the oven to roast and mushrooms had been taunting me from the fridge because I could not for the life of me remember what I bought them for. Leftover pork chop and duck egg.

Great to see you! Your screenname seems familiar.

That’s perfectly cooked in my book. Did you cut against the grain?

Thank YOU!

@ChristinaM ; no. I should have cut across the grain, as I instructed everyone else eating to do, but forgot. Still quite good though.!

Last night was my wife’s request “Chicken Diane”, her actual request was steak Diane for me, chicken for her but I was fine with chicken too. This isn’t a “traditional” Diane, but it’s how my wife likes it so it’s Diane for us! Side of sauteed spinach and truffle parmigiana roasted potatoes. Delicious!

(hahahahahaha my pics suck!! I can’t believe how bad this looks in the pic…I swear it was good)

Spicy Pork Stew w/ Butternut Squash and Roasted Tomatillo Salsa from Silverton’s Mozza at Home. All the pork stews made me want to make this again. This is the third time I’ve made this in as many months. It is so good. Smoky, sweet, spicy, tart, and just delicious. You are supposed to use collard greens. I had frozen turnip greens and used those instead. YUM.

well that was a harrowing evening of not being able to access HO!! phew, and thanks to @sck for getting us back up and running.

dinner last night was a little belated Mardi Gras action: andouille and chicken jambalaya. BF was prep chef. I used tomato paste only, no diced canned tomatoes, as I saw recipes going both ways. I was happy with this result. Also used both Tony Chachere’s and cayenne, as well as a little Old Bay.
