One of my desert island dishes, but that rendition looks a little sloppy. Ganjajang?
Be still my heart. I could live on mushroom pasta!

Spent the better part of the day dealing with my incompetent health care provider, so that made for a perfect Monday 
I also prepped tuna salad for my PIC’s lunches, finally breaking the seal of that gallon-sized jar of industrial strength mayo I picked up at Sam’s recently. I do think it tastes richer and eggier than your run-of-the-mill supermarket mayo, but the biggest test will be a BLT or club: can it replace Duke’s (our standard mayo) or Kewpie, our ‘special’ dipping mayo?
I add a splash of RWV & Woostershurr to my tuna salad, a healthy shake of celery salt, brown mustard, finely chopped celery, and capers.
As for dinner tonight, I was craving a big ole salad after our potluck’s gluttony, augmented with what little we brought home from the Tuscan soup.

I really like that pita. We get ours at Whole Foods Arlington.
We like it too, we get ours at the Andover store. It comes from NJ as dough and is cooked on site.

Red beans and rice, loosely based on the ATK version . I cooked the beans ahead of time, used fresh andouille instead of smoked, and smokey paprika instead of sweet.
This turned out very tasty – the splash of vinegar at the end pulls it all together.

my writing group had an end-of-session potluck, and i made this spread/dip that is essentially like a Sicilian tomato/almond pesto, only i added about 2 ounces of Meredith Dairy’s soft goats/sheep cheese for a little more creaminess. Made a ton, so some of the leftover was stirred into cooked tiny elbow macaroni and topped with pecorino romano. Also, the BF’s delicious tomato and olive salad with a vermouth vinegar/evoo/garlic/shallot/parsley/s&p dressing.

As a child, I had many cases of bronchitis over the years. Cheracol was the cough syrup of choice and it worked because it had codeine in it. It tasted so good and it wasn’t abused. Later, bronchitis and multiple pnemonia bouts called for something else (starts with a G) that also had codeine in it. My docs never limited my Rxs, I think they knew my addiction was with food, not drugs. It was really helpful when I caught H1N1 from this idiot who sneezed in my face. I knew at that very minute I was going to be down for the count. That took many years to work through all the long term effects. Can’t do the lab created pain relievers.

Sous vide poached chicken breast seasoned with butter, herbes de Provence, salt, pepper, and garlic, with the mashed cauliflower from the other night. So beige, but tasty.
Earlier in the evening, a snack of a xian crispy pork burger, which was tasty shredded pork stuffed in a flaky pancake.
Last night I finished the Gochujang Noodles with the last of the frozen Lions Head Meatballs.
Earlier yesterday, colorful shrimp dumplings from Trader Joe’s to vacate more freezer space.

Beef and Broccoli from Woks of Life - velveting of beef with a mixture of baking soda, oyster sauce, cornstarch and oil. Broccoli briefly blanched before everything was stir fried with a sauce made from chicken broth, dark and light soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, garlic, ginger, roasted sesame oil, cornstarch and white pepper.

Tease!
Tonight’s dinner started out as a “crisper clean out” soup, but turned into a riff on “Glen and Friends Cooking” (youtube) Hot Dog Soup recipe. Pinto beans, onions, tomatoes, celery, carrots, peas, corn and chopped hot dogs in a cream of mushroom soup base with a couple squirts of hot sauce to add that Southwest zing.

That’s calling for a side of coleslaw roughage.
