Upcoming Pot Roast for Yom Kippur to break the fast. Made with so much Tempranillo. I am anxious to eat this for a variety of reasons.

Shin Black ramen, with leftover pork belly and skin.
I also added extra garlic, ginger, scallions, chili crisp and Yu Choy. Tasty stuff :yum:

This week’s theme is “What can be heated and not make dirty dishes?”

To that end, I present Sam’s chicken tender chunks two ways:

Au natural with curly fries (earlier this week)

A la chicken Parmesan (tonight)


Last night we had dinner at our friend’s place: cheese plate, green salad, roasted pork tenderloin and potatoes, peas and corn. Wine. I brought cookie dough from our freezer and made cookies.

We’ve had quite a few World Central Kitchen meals for lunches; quite decent. Lovely people.

We got flushing water IBC totes delivered to my son’s classmate’s trailer park today after placing a request last night – pretty amazing!

Those chile rellenos look really good!

What are the orange squares at 3:00? Cornbread?

I had intended on having pasta with a corn tomato basil sauce however I made a salad with the same ingredients for breakfast this morning. I didn’t feel like doing a variation on the same for dinner so I made a shrimp curry instead. I went overboard with the coconut milk
There really is shrimp in that curry :slight_smile:

That was the chile rellenos casserole. I’d saved the recipe and I think it was from smallh. I had to modify because my Anaheims were very small. I layered instead of wrapped chiles around cheese.

Take-out schnitzel dinner, and a pig’s tail and rib dinner from Olde Heidelberg House in Heidelberg, Ontario.

One dinner came with mashed potato, sauerkraut and cole slaw, the other came with mashed potato, sauerkraut and mixed veg.

Lemon meringue pie from the farmers’ market for dessert.

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving to everyone celebrating this weekend.

My dood had a talk out in the boonies, so I got together with Pat @Bigley9 for one final feast at the SEA market. Picked up some sausages for @tcamp, who couldn’t join in the fun & will retrieve them at some point.

When he came home late afternoon, he expressed the desire to go out for a beer & a bite. Went back to the bar down the road for another ginormous pickle (this time I cut it into bite-sized pieces like the lady I am :joy:) and the steamed mussels with chorizo.

That was about enough for us, and we’re ready to settle in with a (hopefully!) good horror flick & one of his famous margaritas :blush:

We enjoyed another excellent dinner at Cafe Panache, in Ramsey, NJ, including venison with an awesome sweet potato au gratin; lobster cakes over saffron risotto; pumpkin cappellacci; tuna tartare; octopus. It all went great with a couple of excellent cabernets.

What to have with the leftover bavette steak and some chicken? How about Greek fasolakia lathera? I heated the steak just a little in the microwave so it would keep it’s medium-rareness.

I think it’s been 35-ish years. We had only about 20:00 pre-theater, and hey, you gotta do what you gotta do. I was not displeased!
