Digging around in the freezer I found 2 packs of what I thought was chicken scraps and I decided to make broth. I dumped them in a pot with water, btb, onion, celery and carrots. When I went to check on it I discovered one of the packs was half of a rotisserie chicken which was turning into shreds. I drained off the broth and saved a few chunks of breast, carrots and celery and packaged up the shreds for sandwiches, tacos? I decided to make a chicken noodle dish for dinner with the chunks. Sauteed leeks, garlic, mushrooms, the carrots and celery, dried tarragon, the broth that I thickened with corn starch and when everything was hot added the chicken and served over egg noodles with parsley. Salad was snap peas, red onion, radish, ranch dressing.

Campanelle with Squash, Walnuts, and Sage Brown Butter from “Anything’s Pastable” - delicata squash is roasted in the oven with rosemary. Sage leaves, crushed walnuts, garlic and red pepper flakes are sautéed in butter and used as a base for the sauce with pasta water, parmesan, lemon juice and zest as well as parsley. Everything is then mixed with the campanelle and finished with more parsley and parmesan

Sneaky BF cooked while i was at work today! First day I left him alone since surgery, he’s obviously doing just fine. Made himself fried rice with leftover korean chicken we had. I had (more than) a few spoonfuls, alongside my endive/walnut/cannellini salad.

Tonight I made Pati Jinich’s pozole verde with homemade broth. I took some liberties but still stuck with the spirit of the dish, I hope.

Tonight’s dinner was better than take out udon noodles with pork and cabbage.

Looks great! How was it?
The surgery went well (no doubt your well wishes & good juju you sent played no minor part 
), but it took longer than expected, and so my PIC missed his first class of the semester — thank goodness for his TA 
I have also been completely pain-free so far, thanks to the nerve block they shot me up with beforehand. However, that also means that I have absolutely no control over or sensation in my right arm, which is a really weird feeling & makes it practically a phantom limb for the time being. Beats excruciating pain, tho!
This also means that I am useless in the kitchen for the foreseeable future, and my PIC made us delectable grilled cheese sammiches with an obscene amount of cheese (Havarti, Raclette, and ultra sharp American for me). It was so rich I couldn’t finish it.
He also heated up some creamy tomato soup from TJ’s, pivoting from our original plan of cheeborgerz n fries — I just didn’t feel like a big dinner tonight.
