Greetings, People.
Back to our usual routine following houseguests and a bit of travel. Visitors and road trips are fun, but it’s also a relief when things get back to normal.
It was a short, short summer in our neck of the woods – it came late and left early – and fall is in the air. We hustled to enjoy what we could, but there were only a few days spent languishing on the patio under the sunbrella. Now, the air is notably crisper and the garden is on the wane.
Cooking for two adults in the PNW:
FRI: Inspired by @saregama, I’ll be trying my hand at gougères to accompany a steak and salad. This one will most likely also qualify for the “uncooked from cookbooks” thread.
SAT: Going to a reunion in the afternoon, and home right at dinner hour. I plan on making a quick Chinese omelet from stir-fry leftovers.
SUN: Cashew chicken and rice (to use up garden scallions).
MON: Shrimp scampi with orzo and baby garden peas (NYT gift link).
TUE: Burgers on the gas grill. Convection-oven fries.
WED: Baked halibut with lemon cream sauce – a new-to-me recipe from Recipe Tin Eats. Sauteed broccoli.
THUR: A repeat of the pizza Blanca, with parmesan bechamel, potatoes, bacon, and scallions. Chopped veggie salad.
