Well, I wouldn’t call it cooking, exactly… TJ’s cacio e pepe ravs based on @LindaWhit’s recommendation with sautéed maitake & spinach & a splash o’ heavy cream. Salad with sour cream mustard dressing with the last of the fresh dill & parsley. Hit the spots.

Another meatloaf dinner. This is Ina Garten’s recipe, which I make individual style. I like this version for the plethora of onions – it keeps the little loaves moist and juicy.
Leftover spinach gratin. The last of the leftover Irish champ.

Meatloaf is planned in our house tomorrow night! DH makes 3 at a time and two go into the freezer. That cauliflower looks delicious. We’re having mashed potatoes with ours because he made mushroom gravy last weekend to go with Jagerschnitzel and we froze what was left. I’ll probably cook some green beans for a side. I always admire your salads - I usually run out of steam before I can make one appear on a regular basis and I don’t like pre-made mixes.

What is in Irish champ?
Green onions, mostly, added to traditional mashed potatoes. Good stuff!

That looks similar to the one I bake, except I saute finely diced onions, garlic, carrots and celery, and I use a panade instead of dry bread crumbs.

I made two 5 x 7 loaves and one and a half went into the freezer. Sometimes I keep the half out for sandwiches but I don’t usually eat lunch.

We had chicken saagwala. A favourite in our home though I do wish I had more spinach to purée but such is life. Served with garlic and coriander naan bread.

Disappointing Chinese takeout last night. The shrimp tasted off as in too old. On my way over, the employee called to say my mushroom tofu skin rolls were unavailable and he suggested I try something pumpkin strings. Low and behold. About 2 pounds of deep fried battered fried pumpkin.
I had been trying to avoid a big meal by ordering shrimp and chive dumplings, mushroom tofu skin rolls and stir fried veg. I tried one pumpkin string because I had paid money for it (this was to substitute for a $10.88 tofu skin rolls). Didn’t like it but tried another one to see if I changed my mind. Nope. I left it outside for a hungry person, along with the mixed vegetables (I picked out the broccoli and mushrooms) since I see people looking for food lately.
I walked to the store to get some milk .
My dinner was toasted challah from the freezer and some cereal.

We’re going out for sushi tonight! And I currently have some lamb breast thawing in the fridge for a birria for Sunday. Yay!

Fried pumpkin and off shrimp? 
I’d have been livid at the waste of money and food. And probably ordered pizza.

My chef cyber friend who recommended the restaurant, when I let him know it has slipped, was defensive on behalf of the restaurant 
. My chef cyber friend thought me getting some dim sum takeout at night was the issue. I’m deleting anything favourable that I wrote on HO. Its a tough business. That restaurant is newish, in a spot that turns over so I’m not surprised they are letting things slip in a bad economy. I’m not going back. I have other things to make me livid
The take-out meal does win the prize for most disgusting resto meal of 2023 for me.

I always want more spinach too! (Started doubling my mom’s proportion at some point.)

There might be something to that, as dim sum is usually a day food. Many restaurants don’t even serve it after lunchtime.
