What's for Dinner #100 - The WFD Big 100th Edition - November 2023

Salad, mac & cheese, roasted cauliflower, and “mystery beef” which I think was wagyu flap (especially judging from how I felt after gobbling up a bunch).

Gratuitous shot of sky on fire (I have missed these sunsets).

Gambas al Ajillo starting with Kenji’s recipe https://www.seriouseats.com/spanish-style-garlic-shrimp-gambas-al-ajillo-recipe. After making the seasoned oil and draining it off I added cherry tomatoes and then spinach to the pan briefly, once the cherry tomatoes had popped and the spinach was slightly wilted I removed it from the pan and continued with the recipe. Plated the shrimp and its oil :blush: over the vegetables. Delicious! :yum:

Perfect early November dinner.

Had picked up some crab cakes at Aldi last weekend as a potential “I have nothing thought out for dinner…oh, these will cook fast!” dinner option. Combo real and fake crab. And “fish flakes.” I REALLY should have known better!

Figured I’d try one as a sandwich.

Yeah, that’s a nope. Barely crispy on the outside, even after some additional time in the toaster oven, and all squishy on the inside. Into the bin they’ll go.

The remoulade I made of mayo, seafood sauce, Wickles pickle relish, and horseradish was good, as were the L-W fries.

There’s chocolate or cookies, so I’m good.

Crab cakes are so hit or miss. Sorry yours were a miss.

I know fake crab tends to be mushy, but I was hoping these might work. Too much fake and flakes, I guess. Price point should have tipped me off, but I was at the end of my shopping on Saturday and didn’t put a lot of thought into it, when I should have.
