Exactly! And even with the breast being overdone, it turned out moist, not dry at all so I’m not complaining. My father used to make it better than I do, really sticky glaze and it was juicy and crispy, all the things duck should be basically.

Pizza dough from TJ’s is one of my favorite shortcuts. Recently it’s been in my rotation more. I’d forgotten how much more likely I am to make pizza at home rather than get takeout if we have their dough around.

No photos but giant stuffed baked potatoes tonight.
Spiced chicken with pearl couscous soup from Dinner in One last night. I discovered it during COTM and my family asks for it every week.
Pasta with Marcella’s red sauce the night before that.

Tonight I’m making Carmine’s pasta pomodoro. I have proscuitto to use up and pasta with a red sauce seems like it will hit the spot tonight.

I wish I had easier access to a Trader Joe’s. The nearest to us in Hyannis is an hour round trip on the best of days. I only go to Hyannis when I have a medical appointment at the hospital. Fortunately, those are few and far between now. I have a summer neighbor who lives in Brookline and can literally walk to TJ’s from her house. She always asks me if I want anything when she comes out to the Cape.

I had about 1/4 c. of shredded lamb and 1/2 c. consumme left after Tuesday’s birria, so I bought some king oyster mushrooms to saute with the lamb to flavor it. Then I added the consumme and cooked it down with the lamb and mushrooms to a glaze. The end result was lamb and mushroom quesadillas with a tomato and radish salsa. The mushrooms really absorbed the flavors well, so I was really pleased at the end result!

I put the last of the hot dog onions and some of the giardiniera I made to use with pork tenderloin that I cut into medallions. Made a pan sauce with a quick pork stock and white wine and served with leftover rice.

That happened to my partner one year. He’d carefully chosen a Mr Man mug and was dreading what he’d get in return. He was so relieved to draw his own name, and also kept quiet. We still have the mug.

We had a clean-out-the-vegetable-drawer stir fry with a package of chicken tenders from the freezer. Used up a knob of ginger and some sprouting garlic cloves. Dried red chilies, chicken broth, soy sauce, hoisin and sesame oil. Brown basmati rice. A tad too spicy for moi but that’s what I get for ad libbing.

Sunshine went over to one of her girlfriend’s for dinner tonight (Holiday Girl Night). When she got home I asked her what the friend served for dinner and was told “soup and salad”. I know my girlfriend and I knew that wouldn’t cut it. Sure enough, about 9:30 she came to me and was hungry. So I microwaved some precooked meatballs and made two mini meatball subs for her. I didn’t have any sub rolls in stock, so hot dog buns were substituted. I lightly toasted them with some provolone cheese.

Oh I wish I could eat something like that at night!

Eating this late won’t affect Sunshine in the least. About 11:00, she’ll crawl into bed and sleep like a log.
