I made chicken yassa (thanks @shrinkrap !) mostly following this recipe from Serious Eats with a sprinkle of Maggi, chicken bouillon, liquid smoke (for the grill affect) and adding chunked carrots, green cabbage, and tomato per the recipes below. I broiled the feathered onions to jump start the browning. Served over fonio with lime wedges and Scotch Bonnet pepper sauce.

Grill effect. I hope this won’t affect anyone’s view of my grammar.

Tha boyd, veg & SALAD I spontaneously decided to make bc a big ole chicken & a buncha roasted carrots and potatoes apparently isn’t enough food for a Wednesday eve 
I would’ve preferred more crisp on the skin, but the meat was very flavorful and juicy 
I do like something fresh, cold & green with most of my meals

I had intended on having the last two chicken skewers from the freezer with a Greek salad. But the temperature took a dip today so I wanred something warm for dinner. I had the skewers with a rice pilaf.

Baby spinach in house vinaigrette, topped with hard boiled eggs, bacon lardons and scallion greens. Inspired by @mariacarmen, there were crispy, Kennebec shoestring potatoes as croutons. Still using up the holiday gift of Cougar Gold, I baked sharp cheddar cheese biscuits to go along with.

Baked crab cakes (using a modified Jacques Pepin recipe) and slow-cooker risotto. These would have been so much better fried, but whatever.

OMG, meal train. I feel like I should be drawing a paycheck - I’m doing one practically every week.
Linguafood, I still fantasize about that pickle pizza you enjoy from a local place. My son is on his way up to your town to hang with friends for the weekend and I would like him to check it out, maybe bring me home a pie. Can you share the name? Or message me?

Of course! The place is called 8 Mile Pizza, and I highly recommend both the garlic dill pickle pie and the triple threat (vodka sauce, pizza sauce, pesto).
Hope he doesn’t eat it all on his way home

The soup I’d made for my grieving friend was very well received – in fact, she regretted being polite and not taking more (even tho I told her we had plenty, and zero plans of eating it ourselves since we’ve had So Many Soups lately), as the family pretty much finished it all. That makes my heart sing 
The rest of the soup is coming with me later to our first show of the year at a local cidery, so I can dump it on my keyboarder*.
We’re debuting two new original songs tonight, one of which is about food & body image, and that took me almost a year to finish. I’m pretty proud of it & excited to finally perform it in public. It’s also sortakinda ladies night in that a bunch of my gal pals are showing up, but many with their peens in tow. I can groove to that 
The early evening show also means no cooking at casa lingua for a change YAY, and the venue has a lovely selection of eclectic small plates like French onion soup dumplings, Reuben spring rolls, and chicken tikka dip. In any event, I suspect that nobody will go home hungry.
We also booked our flights & digs for Berlin this summer, the prospect of which makes the current subzero temps far more bearable – only 3.5 more months 
*not literally, sillies……well, unless he messes up a lot

Vegetable (eggplant, onions, sweet potatoes, carrots & daikon) curry with sprouted germ white rice, the Japanese equivalent of chutney known as “fukujinzuke”, and a side salad at the restaurant inside “Miharashi-no-oka Aisaihiroba”, a permanent farmers market in Komatsushima, Tokushima.
The restaurant only uses vegetables sold at the farmers market. Due to my stomach issues caused by bell peppers/“paprika”, I had to give the red & yellow peppers on the curry and salad to my friend who went there with me.
The curry was Japanese style, quite mild and delicious. I guess there was some time of pepper(s) in the curry, too because it gave me the typical indigestion/heartburn caused by them when eaten, but even without taking some Tums, the issue went away in its own.
The cost for this meal was ¥850/USD $5.75.

Agree with this! Sweet and a little earthy, I want to say.
A quick, simple dinner tonite.
A turkey tenderloin covered in the last of some Schlotterbeck & Foss Caribbean Mango Sauce blended with a sploosh of white wine and baked in the convection oven on regular heat until done, spooning the “sauce” over top twice.
Served on leftover rice pilaf with steamed green beans alongside.
Wine.
