I made a serious eats beef chili recipe using leftover prime rib beef cubes instead of the ground beef called for. That was dinner last night along with corn bread and a pickled veg tray

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?!

Leftover porchetta (dare I say I enjoyed it more tonight, reheated?), braised endive, roasted cocktail tomatoes, barley lentil pilaf. The tomatoes were very acidic, great pairing with the lentil pilaf.

Icelandic lamb soup based on this recipe.. Unfortunately, it was incredibly bland even though I used on the bone lamb neck as the stock base. I blame the local, flavourless lamb. If I try this again, I’ll be using imported meat. The local stuff, though fresh, tastes literally like nothing. After dinner, I threw in a parmesan rind and simmered the soup a bit longer. At least it imparted some flavour to the leftovers.

It’s my sax/clarinet player’s 70th, which he is celebrating with a gig in his hometown (of course he is!). We were hoping to join him for this celebration, but the cold & a bitchy toof for which I will need yet another root canal didn’t put me in the mood for a 2.5 hour roundtrip. Hibernation is where it’s at these days 
I had two beautiful, ginormous rainbow trout filets in the freezer, and my PIC was in the mood for piccata… because nothing lights up a dreary, cold day like the bright tartness of lemon, the bracing salinity of capers, and the grassiness of fresh parsley - all enveloped in the silkiness of butter
Steamed some broc and baby taters to go with, which also got lubed up with that wonderful sauce.

Did you fry the fish?
Gorton’s did. Meh. The Aldi beer battered are much better.
I usually only deep fry when I camp.
Milk Street’s Turkish lentil soup with the addition of baby spinach. Homemade chili oil and lemons for a kick. Yogurt-based naan on the side.

Thanks! Everything was delicious.
Yes, I’ve noticed quite a few Asian fusion restaurants and dishes the last few years. We have a French Korean fusion restaurant, a Japanese Italian fusion restaurant, plus several restaurants feature one or two dishes with Asian influences. I am all for it
