Braised beef shank with gratin dauphinoise a la Jacques Pepin and glazed/spicy sriracha, maple carrots.
Beef was nicely “caramelized” but still tender and delicious, the potatoes(my favorite) were outstanding, I used gruyere and Parm Regg(lots of leftovers for freezing) and the carrots were a spur of the moment recipe with stuff I had in the fridge, will def do them again. That glaze would also work well with baked squash.

Hah! Nope, I was at Wegmans the previous Thursday, so I got sockeye salmon for dinner on Friday. The scallops will have to wait until the end of December.

As for so many here, the day was spent prepping. By dinner time, I didn’t have the juice for anything complex. Thus, my go-to for one-pot meals – chowder – which we love, and for which we always have the ingredients on hand.
Here with BC King salmon, bacon, garden leeks and spuds, celery, cream, a pinch of hondashi, and assertive dashes of sherry, Worcestershire and tabasco.
There were saltines.

I had purchased some potatoes when they were on sale. These potatoes might have been a little on the old side when I got them as they were starting to go bad, already. So, I changed dinner plans and made a potato, onion, mushroom and cheese casserole. Mixed vegetables rounded out our meal.

Thanksgiving Eve Cosmo (I need to make these more often). There was food prep, Rangers hockey on in the background, and Chinese delivered.

Convection oven! 425F for 21 minutes, shaking the pan and rotating it halfway through!

No pics, as last night’s ‘dinner’ was a jumble of leftovers: 3 slices of sashimi (escolar & yellowtail), the last 6 store-bought frozen har gow steamed in the bamboo basket, the last of the pork/broc/shroom stir-fry along with the boring takeout fried rice, made a lil less boring with our buddy’s homemade chili oil.
I did end up finding beautiful fennel yesterday for my Thxgiving dinner contribution. Phew!
Happy Turkey Day, y’all!

Not a fan of eggnog myself. I’ve not had coquito, so I can’t speak to its richness. I thought coconut milk might render it lighter, but I just looked it up now, and it apparently also includes coconut cream. I’d probably enjoy a sip, but not a whole mug.

That’s what I do. I’ll make it for my mom or BF, take one sip, and that’s all. Its way too filling.

Did I post this? Don’t remember…lots of NyQuil goin’ on.
Last night we had shrimp cocktail, popcorn shrimp, and assorted cheeses, crackers, and popcorn. Had L’Amandier Cinsault and popped the Gruet bubbly a day early, but saved some for mimosas today.

I made us minestrone with homemade bread rolls today. Very savoury and filling, it was delicious and we have enough for at least two more days for both of us.
