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

Simple recipe, I’ve done some version of this a hundred times, I love bluefish and it’s local here. Bluefish dijonaisse
Best part of this recipe: heating the skillet in the broiler. I did it for about a half hour.
Worst part: remove skin. I did not and did skin side down in my cast iron pan and it got crispy :yum:
Served with an arugula salad just dressed with oil and lemon - some lemon over the fish. Delicious.

Thai inspired Chicken Curry with Eggplants - First you make the spice paste by pureeing garlic, scallions, lemongrass, serano chili, ginger, makrut lime leaves, thai basil stems, fish sauce, corn starch and brown sugar. Stir fry diced chicken breast and then sliced eggplant before cooking both and the spice paste in coconut milk and chicken broth. Finished with thai basil, lime zest and juice. Served with jasmine rice.

Tonight I baked off a tray of cottage pie Aldi, product of Canada (labeled “shepherd’s pie” as @Phoenikia has described). Side of steamed broccoli with lemon pepper and Greek olive oil. My kiddo went crazy for the pie!

We have a trickle of water! Should be pressurizing in the next few days :crossed_fingers:t2::crossed_fingers:t2::crossed_fingers:t2:
