Mine are today what is called Ukraine… called by me the “stetshel”.
I’m making your moms stew recipe at the moment . Of course I have to put a twist on it . Adding red wine and a little red wine vinegar. Still the parsnip is going to be king .

I am with you…familiar sauces or dishes are not only comfort food…but preparing these dishes are a comfort for me as well…

Just like them coming home from college and saying…can you make…“this” for me…
My instance was grilled salmon with “daddy’s” special sauce (mayo/hot sauce/mustard)…

Quiet day. Aren’t they all at this point?
I went freezer diving for dinner for something quick and easy.
Sketti and Sawce.
Lotsa grated Parm Reg.
Crusty buttered roll.
Wine.
You all know what that looks like. So no pic.
My sister, on the other hand, went all out tonight and sent me a pic. So her pic gets posted. LOL She demanded credit where credit was due, so here ya go, Sis.
“Ham and cheese stuffed chicken breast with reduced dijon mustard + chicken broth sauce, roasted spaghetti squash and broccoli. So pretty and pretty yummy!”
Her husband did the nice, clean plating.
They don’t do wine, however. That’s OK. I drink enough wine for all 3 of us.

We had some outstanding takeout, al fresco on our deck, from Drew’s Bayshore Bistro in Keyport. It was well worth the 1 1/2 hour round trip. Below is a link to details and pictures.

Slow cooker pot roast, mushroom gravy, cauliflower mashed potatoes. Aforementioned and previously pictured corn bread on the side. A brown comfort meal.
Cocktail tonight was a “Flatiron” Martini. Almost like a Vesper. Equal parts gin and vodka, some Lillet, and a Cointreau rinse.

Grilling weather here last night. Steaks, quinoa, grilled broccoli and a cucumber salad. Fast and tasty.

Saturday dinner was whole wheat spaghetti in a spicy garlic and olive oil pan sauce with broccoli rabe, cherry tomatoes, and toasted panko. Parmesan grated at the table, not shown, for the win.
My take is much like Mark Bittman’s recipe at the NYT. Except I always say to use panko for the crumbs if you have any. Panko toasted with olive oil never disappoints. https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1012419-spaghetti-with-broccoli-rabe-toasted-garlic-and-bread-crumbs?action=click&module=Global%20Search%20Recipe%20Card&pgType=search&rank=1
