Another sunny-ish, even warmer day, which I celebrated with my second annual MRI while my PIC was sorting out our retirement funds — just in case. Looks like he may have to stay in the rat race just a tad longer than expected. Le Sigh
I made another batch of tuna salad for our (well, mostly his) lunches this week with Genova yellowfin tuna in olive oil, celery, celery salt, spicy brown mustard, RWV, Worcestershire, lemon juice, Duke’s, and capers.
As for dinner, I made a hearty Cobb-ish salad with baby green leaf lettuce, 2 HBEs, flavor bomb tomatoes, cuke, Nueske’s bacon, avocado & some roti chicken breast — all tossed in CK’s blue cheese dressing (augmented, as ever, with fresh parsley, lemon juice, garlic, scallions, and TPSTOFGBP), besides the warm toppings, of course, which I put in extra bowls.
Pinoy-style chicken adobo based on a recipe posted by CH Sunnycalifgirl about a million years ago on a CH WFD thread. So good! With jasmine rice and steamed broccoli, my usual accompaniments. Those are big chunks of braised garlic on the chicken thigh.
Salmon cakes (no potato), broccoli, and leftover coconut curry lentil and vegetable (carrot & zucchini) soup that was a mashup of two favorite recipes (the first two here). Soup topped with crispy onions, pepita, and chilli crunch.
Tonight’s dinner was a Cabbage, Vegetable and Chicken Soup served in a bread bowl. This soup was really good! Both Sunshine & I really enjoyed it. Oddly, Sunshine had never heard of Panera Bread’s Broccoli/Cheddar Soup served in a bread bowl, which was my inspiration for this dish.
Yes, I had been watching for a sale and last week it went down to 49 cents/pound; so I picked up a nice head. I made a big pot of soup (6 servings or 3 meals for the two of us).
Mie Noodles with Rhubarb and Tempeh - rhubarb is quickly pan-fried and mixed with a sauce made from hoisin sauce, garlic, ginger, fresno chili and brown sugar. Separately you saute napa cabbage and mix it with cooked mie noodles and the cooked rhubarb. Finished with a mix of mint, cilantro, pea shoots and toasted sesame seeds. Served with seared tempeh
