Calamari Fra Diavolo over fettuccine. 8 cloves of garlic and I use a couple crushed up dried arbols for the heat.

I had intended on making fettuccine with broccoli sauce for dinner tonight but the recipe calls for chopping the entire contents of my fridge, sautéing everything, boiling noodles then grating a little grana padano to sprinkle on top. (I joke about the chopping part although the recipe does call for chopping a lot of veggies.) Since I’m tired tonight I settled for making peanut butter noodles with cucumbers since it’s filling and low maintenance.

ATK’s skillet ziti with added mild Italian sausage. Cream of zucchini soup on the side.
We both felt the ATK recipe was “meh” (gloppy, mushy), but were both equally enthusiastic about the zucchini soup - good stuff!
Can’t win them all.

We stopped by our friend and favorite bartender’s bday celebration at a pub downtown to wish him well, but I didn’t feel much like socializing. It didn’t help that there was an oompah band playing for the seemingly endless Oktoberfestivities. Loudly.
We ordered takeout sushi en route home: garlic chili oil pork belly,
hamachi & chu toro,
sake & escolar, extra rice & extra wasabi.
The fish quality was outstanding

I made Chris Morocco’s miso eggplant grain bowls with basil, adding roasted cauliflower and Brussels sprouts, crispy onions, and avocado. Delicious! Will make again.

Roasted chicken thigh and corn. The skin nicely crisped at 475F, no coating, just salt and my sekrit rub. This might be the last corn of the season.

Pearl Coucous with Shrimps and Tomatoes from a Milk Street recipe - pearl couscous, cherry tomatoes, carrots and onions are cooked in a broth (made by microwaving shrimp shells, chicken broth, thyme, bay leaves and black peppercorns) until it has a consistency not unlike a risotto. Finished with pan-seared shrimps, parsley and lemon juice.
