Oh heavens, what a saga! Glad you are home now and doing well?
Hope your change-of-weather cold and blahs are chased away by the yummy and nourishing food!
Sorry, I was trying to ask for the list of cheeses, but later saw you’d already discussed.

Last night I made chicken and shrimp pad Thai from a pantry kit. Unfortunately the shelf-stable rice noodles were a congealed blob. We quickly pivoted to ramen noodles. The sauce was so-so, so I’ll just make this from scratch next time. I added zoodles from two zucchini, which worked well.

That’s where I go to most days now too. Their shipping is reasonably fast, always well packaged, and they even insert this thermometer check thing that confirms if the seafood is still in the safe temperature zone. They can be pricey, but the quality is fantastic. They’re a good alternative if you don’t have a good local seamonger nearby.

Good lord, you can say that again! Glad you’re home. And I’m thinking just toss the ham completely. No unwrapping of that baby. Wrap it in foil, and put it in a plastic bag, and it should keep the critters away!

We often had seafood on Christmas eve - a large variety in the pursuit of the Feast of the Seven Fishes.

Last night, BF made braised short ribs. The flavor was very similar to the Bourgignon from a few weeks ago but the texture of the meat was even more tender despite cooking for three hours instead of six. We finally got to use our new braising pan and it was amazing. Excellent meal-- I contributed only garlic mashed and asparagus.

Wishing you all the best. Anything odiferous that goes in our garbage is wrapped airtight in a plastic bag. Otherwise the foxes might tear the garbage bag open.

Tonight’s dinner was fettucine all’arrabiata. No side salad tonight since I was too hangry. I made the sauce a couple of weeks ago and I wish I could remember what I did to make it at the right level. I used a small can of cherry tomatoes (enough for two servngs - this was the second) instead of passata and I think I used the chili flakes that I bought in Chinatown instead of the grocery store varietal. The chili flakes I buy in Chinatown are a little spicier

Yotam Ottolenghi’s fish cakes in tomato sauce – I used halibut. Sorry, pics didn’t do it justice. Steamed rice.
Requires quite a bit of chopping/mincing, but worth it. I’ve made it wll over over a dozen times

Well, I’m officially woozy on antibiotics for a sinus infection. The doctor laughed at me when I told him I was as vaxed and boosted as I could get and super annoyed about the weather swings taking me down! Sigh.
Eating from fridge stock, which I’m grateful for.
Sorta-Hainanese chicken and rice again with sautéed snow pea leaves (all leftovers).
Earlier (but not that much), butternut squash soup from roasted butternut squash I had saved for that purpose, and a leftover lahmacun from last week’s dinner at my neighborhood Turkish place.
Remembered I had started bread dough along with the pizza dough, so I baked it off in a square pullman tin just for a change. Maybe there’s a sandwich in store for me tomorrow with the rest of the soup.

Hope you feel better soon.
Both the sinus infection and the antibiotics can mess with your appetite, your sense of smell/taste, and digestion, so hope everything settles down quickly.

So sad to read that things went south after your heart procedure… Hoping you are well on the way to a full recovery!
