What's For Dinner #111 - the "I Got A Rock" Edition - October 2024

Improvised pasta with smoked salmon, caramelized fennel, preserved lemon and chives in a cream sauce. I didn’t have any heavy cream, but I did have half and half and khoya, aka evaporated milk solids, so I added a bit of that to the half and half to enrich. Made for a delicious, silky texture.

ETA: the pasta shape is fidanzati capresi: https://www.fabbricadellapastadigragnano.com/la-pasta/fusilli-corti/fidanzati-capresi/ These hold sauce amazingly well - I may have to try making mac and cheese or something else with an equally decadent, creamy sauce with the rest of the bag.

Same! I loved the guy flushing his toilet with water from his flood garage.

Oh on a Flour Tortilla. Totally couldn’t see that. :rofl:

No, it’s a white corn soft taco.

ETA I’m wrong! It is flour.

I would be absolutely floored if Taco Bell (or Del Taco) ever used corn tortilla, of any color.

Be careful standing up.

I should’ve been more precise, soft corn toritillas

Happy Thanksgiving to those who are celebrating! Tonight’s dinner was turkey (white and dark meat), mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, and stuffing. It paired nicely with a sparkling apple cider.

Arctic char and corn chowder with chipotle and Fresno chiles. We had a cold and rainy day here outside of Boston, so perfect weather for this. Leftovers for lunch tomorrow, too!

Yesterday, I had thought I was going to make a turkey pot pie today, but swiveled when I didn’t feel like it this afternoon.

Went easy with a combination of garganelli pasta, leftover turkey breast, carrots, green beans, red bell peppers, with a garlic-herb cream sauce using Aldi’s garlic-herb cheese, similar to President or Alouette.

Wine.
