Still delegating most of the cooking duties to my PIC these days, although I noticed I’m not too shabby chopping stuff with my left hand
I try to help out as much as possible without over-expending my shoulder / messing with the healing process, which is slooooowwwww ![]()
Today is my dude’s long day on campus, and he’s meeting up with our pesca buddy & some rando for HH, so he’ll be home even later than usual.
Dinner options floated earlier included takeout from a popular fried chicken place, sushi, or assorted dumplings from the casa lingua freezer plus maybe stir-fried snow peas I originally got for Monday’s Thai curry, but never used. But after heating up a bowl of that fab chowdah I made Tuesday — which was even better than the first time around — I decided it’s gonna be leftovers.
Tomorrow we’re meeting a friend from PGH who’s in town for a hockey game for lunch at our favorite taco purveyor. Unless someone’s hosting a poker game tomorrow we might opt for hot pot or dumplings & stir-fried veg on the side for dinner. IF my PIC’s ready for “Asian” food again ![]()
Saturday I was thinking of either roasting the BISO chickie boob that’s in our freezer with Greek seasoning and sides (lemon potatoes, maroulosalata), or pan-searing the two duck breasts also in our freezer. Side for those would be Rotkohl aka braised red cabbage with grated apples & caramelized onions, and maybe the rare mash.
Sunday will be ssssspicy, one way or another. Maybe a kicky black bean soup with one of the chicken stock quarts from the freezer. NYT had a recipe that sounded quite appealing.
Monday TBD. Cheeseburgers maybe, or takeout Korean fried chicken that also happens to be pretty dang spicy.
Tuesday TBD, tho if it’s still cold as ballz here I wouldn’t mind some Chinese beef noodle soup, or ramen — both from local places.
Wednesday I’m having my gals over to make up for canceling yesterday’s gathering. Hopefully I’ll feel more social by then, as we have two bdays to celebrate
We might order Detroit-style pizza cuz I ain’t cooking for 8+ peeps RN ![]()
Thursday TBD
Stay warm, stay strong, stay sane, fellow HOs — and eat & drink the things that bring you joy.
