Hi folks
My prediction for people getting sick with the crazy weather changes has come true for me, ugh – with the help of sick friends or sick friends’ kids who didn’t think they needed to warn me, sigh. Fighting it with everything I’ve got (turmeric, honey, ayurvedic remedies, a tisane specifically to fight colds, immunity supplements, you name it). Fingers crossed it passes quickly.
Ideas for the week:
– Pan-roasted chicken + Ottolenghi sweet potato mash + broccoli.
– Gambas al ajillo / shrimp scampi either with toast or over capellini + broccoli.
– Roasted salmon or NYT Salmon Burgers with warm brown lentil salad and possibly roasted fennel (idea borrowed from @mbcraw4d ).
– Kabab/Kofta or Lahmacun or Arayes because I have pita and ground beef to use up + Curried Carrot and Lentil soup (kind of a mash-up between this Ottolenghi soup and this Chrissy Teigen soup).
– Thai-ish chicken bowls using TJs satay sauce + tbd veg + quinoa-rice blend.
– Nobu-style miso black cod (freezer, marinated ages ago but I never rememeber to eat it) + snow pea salad + quinoa-rice blend.
– Curry chicken noodle soup again using a new tweak from a Malaysian recipe (using both curry paste and curry powder, duh) with homemade bone broth and some of the Massaman chicken curry I made.
– Pongal + Nigella’s quick Fish Bhorta using some fish sticks I think are languishing in the freezer (if not I may roast some butternut squash and use that).
Wish you all a good week.
