What's for Dinner #104 - the Almost Green Edition - March 2024

Pizza night at Club B: perhaps some of the best dough ever, with lots of homemade toppings like meatballs, sausage, roasted eggplant and red peppers.

My favorite pie was the white one with B shproutz and garlic. A ridiculously luscious coconut cake was a collaborative effort between our host and our buddy.

Can’t wait to find out WFD tonight :blush:

Messy rainy day running errands.
Even more messy night as the rain comes in via downpours until midnight.

Dinner was Za’atar Sheet Pan Chicken, with potatoes, broccoli, and red onion and a tahini-lemon drizzle on top. Very good!

Three Fingers Jack Chardonnay alongside.

Bucatini/pesto/ mushrooms/bacon/sauteed onions and fresh diced tomatoes. 2 pasta dinners in a week is enough for me.

Tagliatelle with hot fennel sausage and baby super greens with a light lemon garlic cream sauce. I was a bit heavy-handed with the heat: cobanero chili, Urfa biber and fermented white pepper, but delicious nonetheless. Luckily there is always Pepcid.

An old timey recipe ~ Shrimp DeJongne or De Jongne🙂 Jumbo black tiger shrimp from Aldi(thanks Lingua). Plenty of butter, sherry, garlic, spidgen of paprika for color and four Hawaiian sweet rolls(I had to make two stops and finally buy a 12 pack) crumbled/dried out in the oven. All mixed together to top shrimp. Some of you might think that sherry and HSR would turn out too sweet. But this was really good. And I forgot to add the chopped flat leaf parsley I had ready in the fridge so tossed it on the top at the end. I’m burned out on asparagus.


And a little dessert from Aldi.

I ate to excess last night. Take-out tonkatsu ramen, karaage (Japanese fried chicken) from Tondou , pepperoni and mushroom pizza from the Fourth Man in the Fire pizzeria and half a very big chocolate chip- Cadbury mini eggs cookie from Coco’s Coffee Shop on College St.

That led me to make a lighter dinner tonight. I finally cooked up my Prima Taste Laksa. I added Tuscan kale, which simmered with the noodles , because I didn’t eat vegetables yesterday.

#1 son went to Highland County VA for maple syrup week and brought me lots of syrup. So dinner was maple syrup glazed pork tenderloin, mushroom ravioli w/ sautéed oyster mushrooms, and cabbage slaw. No complaints!
