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.

TACOS! I marinaded chicken in lime, paprika, garlic, cumin, salt and another spice or two I’m forgetting and let that hang in the fridge for 6 hours. Sides of black bean, corn, lime, cilantro, white onion salad and quick pickled red onions. I love those. Also did a quick “creama” of sorts with yogurt, cilantro, garlic and lime. I didn’t have time to make the tortillas but these were a good and faster just a quick char in the pan. It also started to snow as I was grilling, but I wasn’t to be deterred! Best part is having a really tasty salad with all the leftovers.

Hello again to old friends — from multiple places now — and new!
It’s been a long hiatus for me posting WFD (or otherwise, till the CH news)… real life got a bit overwhelming.
But we now have family togetherness and joy again and a bright light at the end of the tunnel. We’ve been enjoying the whole (immediate) family being together again after almost two and a half years (d@mn you again COVID) — just a couple of days left.
We’ve also had some big birthdays while together — mom turned 80 !!! nephew turned 16 !!! So it’s been a lot of eating and celebrating — wait, that’s always the case when we’re together!
I forgot to take pics of tonight’s dinner — mom and I combined efforts: I was sous chef for her spectacular cauliflower cheese, and I also made cheese toast (like grilled cheese but in an iron so the edges fuse together deliciously) for one kid and an adult who was being difficult.
.
So instead, here are the two special birthday cakes (I made the rustic looking one — chocolate ganache per usual, but sugar free and egg free for the birthday girl.
.
.
.
And the best dinner of the MANY in the past two weeks — mom made GIGANTIC prawns (under-6, meaning less than 6 to a kilo, so bigger than my hand when raw). Just fantastic!
.
.
.
And the 80th birthday spread (there are multiple orders stacked under each dish) — a friend of mine sent over everyone’s favorites from our favorite chinese place (he adores my parents, and also lost his mom to COVID this year after two years of not seeing her… all our worst nightmare through this pandemic…)
