Decided to try a different fast treatment with my weekly fish meal and found this recipe for teriyaki fish, which was very easy with my fish share hake. Served with some excellent korean udon from costco, augmented with stir fried cabbage.
I particularly liked it when the teriyaki sauce got a little bit caramelized ! https://www.smh.com.au/goodfood/recipes/teriyaki-fish-20150916-42ux0.html

I took a B/S chicken breast out of the freezer yesterday with no idea how I wanted to go with it for dinner tonight.
Ended up with a sauté of chicken, broccoli and onions with udon noodles and a peanut sauce consisting of peanut butter, peanut oil, toasted sesame oil, chili-garlic paste, Sriracha sauce, a splash of teriyaki sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground ginger, white wine and hot water.
No chopped peanuts or green onions to sprinkle on top, but there was wine.

I bought a fairly large porchetta from the local farm for Christmas but, knowing my plans were fluid, asked them to cut it in half and cryovac both halves. Sure enough, my plans swerved (in a good way) and both halves ended up in the freezer. Thawed one half and roasted it today, nice way to warm up the house. Delicious! Lots of leftovers.

Roast lamb tonight, with artichokes, purchased vegetarian beet borscht, Danish-style brown sugar potatoes, squash and purchased cherry pie.
First time to make brown sugar potatoes and we love them.

A little sweet on the outside. They aren’t sweet inside. I used russets.
Here’s another one. They do taste caramelized https://denmark.dk/people-and-culture/christmas-recipes/brunede-kartofler.
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.
