Everybody’s food looks wonderful. We had his and hers leftovers, with TJ’s black truffle butter over Amish home popped corn. Addictive stuff. Too full for ice cream.

Beautiful plate, that last shot!
Thanks so much, Maria! I’ll be making the recipe in the link soon. We’ve had sourdough biscuits, popovers, bread, of course, rolls, waffles…our starter is well-used. I do have quite a bit of discard that I’m trying to be more efficient with. I have two starters going, since I’m looking forward to giving one to my dear sister when we can be in contact again. Next up I’m looking forward to Claire Saffitz’s sourdough crepes suzettes.
I killed my first starter even though it started off great by not feeding it enough and nott taking out enough discard because it felt so wasteful. It turned to a nasty chem experiment. I’m loving having a healthy one now, though. Earlier in the week, I had a hankering for a soft sandwich loaf for some old-school tuna sandwiches to go with an equally old-school broccoli cheese soup and made the Easy Sourdough Sandwich Loaf from King Arthur. It was super-simple and old-school tasty.

One of my favorite shows. I even like the newer incarnations with Shayna, Anthony, and Ted. I’ve run into Mary at Il Casale in Belmont a few times with friends who are friendly with her. Very big and fun personality.

A friend turned us on to Pinkelwurst, a German sausage made with bacon, oats or barley, suet and other assorted sausage stuff. We liked it so much I’ve taken to making it as well (not the sausage but the dish). It is traditionally served with kale, potatoes, pears and mustard. Mine always explodes.

Mrs. P made her famous pan seared boneless quail breast salad 
It went great with a nice French red wine.

I don’t know how I missed this delicious plate!
The limas especially look delicious. And meatloaf sounds so good right now. I ordered ground turkey (they sent chicken) and pork to add to ground beef for the Rao’s meatball recipe… perhaps there will be some meatloaf too…

we were supposed to have delivery pupusas for dinner for a review but couldn’t find a place that would deliver. BF pulled my enchilada pork from the freezer and made mexi-rice and tacos. more of the miracle avocado. All pretty yummy and it was nice to have another home-cooked meal.

If only you saw what the kitchen looked like when I came home. BF was off today so he cooked up an Asian feast consisting of homemade cheese wontons (cream cheese, chive filling), pork wontons for soup, Vietnamese pork and shrimp spring rolls, and chicken and shrimp with broccoli in garlic sauce (the only item I helped with tonight). Everything was amazing. The cheese wontons tasted like they came from a Chinese restaurant while the spring rolls had a unique, almost crystallized quality due to the rice paper (and interior rice noodles) puffing up during the frying process. While homemade Chinese food (and Indian, for that matter) may be good, it never tastes like the restaurant. This does.

It all looks simply amazing! I need a jolt of the energy and motivation he had today. And great looking, plated up on the new dish ware.
