Interesting concept. Who knew the Danes liked their taters like they like their pastries

Hoppin’ John With Sea Island Red Peas and Carolina Gold Rice. I treated myself a little while ago to some items from Anson Mills and they’ve been waiting patiently in the freezer until I could get to them. We were going to make this for NYD, but our plans were derailed because of a medical procedure my partner needed to prepare for.
Red peas are tiny, a bit sweet, and creamy. They are well complimented by the tomato and coconut broth they cook in, flavored with curry powder, onion, garlic, ginger, and turmeric. The recipe says that it serves 6, but it is at least 8; we have a ton of leftovers, which is fine!

Leftovers Premium Plus @casa lingua tonight: more of the lamb fesenjān, roasted taters & carrots from the recent roast chicken dinner, new pilaf cuz the old pilaf sucked 
, a SALAD with 1/2 an avocado bc I was craving green stuff after last night’s carb & cheese fest, and I also made a little more baba ganoush as our appetizer, since I still have a whole lot of that grilled eggplant & it’s so easy to throw together 
I added a little non-traditional feta & had no complaints 
New epi of True Detective coming up 
It’s finally supposed to get a little warmer this coming week !

I had planned on pasta with bacon and cabbage tonight, but when I found my cabbage was not up to snuff, there was a pivot to baby garden peas from the freezer. This a Jamie Oliver recipe which I’ve made several times before (gift link here). Baby spinach in vinaigrette to go with.
Nobody is crying over the loss of the cabbage. This was very tasty.

I made Creamy Chicken Gnocchi Soup in the pressure cooker, cooking the chicken first without the carrots and celery to avoid mushy veg. I stirred in a small carton of half and half mixed with 1 Tbsp. Wondra in place of the heavy cream. Destemmed “Tuscan” kale in place of spinach. And for the gnocchi and cheese I used TJ’s cacio e pepe frozen gnocchi dish. I leave half the bacon crisp. It turned out great! Low effort, too.

Pumpkin curry was Sunday night dinner. Had a small pumpkin and vegetables that needed using, so I was delighted to find this pumpkin curry recipe. The recipe adapted well to ingredients that I had in the house.
The leftover curry will be thicker in consistency. Alas we were too hungry to wait, which would have allowed the curry to cook down more.

Food looks great!! I went through the photos first before reading your commentary…thought those mushrooms were one generous portion of ’ Escargots '!! 
Seems like nowadays, be it up north here in Canada or down south where you are, most food we ordered and enjoyed seemed to have some form of ’ Japanese Fusion ’ components to them?!
