As @CCE said - the ratio of liquid to flour (with the liquids and flours also to be included if you use starters etc
beautiful job on that!

that looks scrumptious!
My first post-stroke steak - prepared by me. I’m happy to note that my sense of taste seems to have returned to normal, and I enjoyed my dinner. I’ve drunk a lot of Ensure over the last months, because I’ve had no appetite and what food I forced myself to eat tasted awful. I had a cookie for desert

I went simple tonight, and it was OK:
BISO Frankenchicken breast seasoned with a combo of olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, s/p, honey, and roasted at 425°, adding some white wine to the pan to spoon over top as it roasted.
Steamed green beans tossed with a bit of butter, s/p, dried marjoram and savory.
There was wine.

Feta brine-marinated pork chops, green beans and mushrooms with Kalamata olives and capers in a Sherry butter glaze, broccolini with OO, chili flake, and crispy garlic, and Parm Regg elbow noodles. Worked! I didn’t have much appetite today and passed most of the pork chop to the kiddo, who requested a second!!!

Say more about the feta brine marinade. How long? Other ingredients?
I had a PT appointment late morning during which I was lauded for how smoothly my joints are operating 
— not that I can take any credit for that… only to come home to a mailbox full of medical bills. The co-pay for my certainly-not-elective rotator cuff surgery is a whopping $600, adding to yesterday’s dental expenses for now $1,500 out of pocket in January. Guess there goes that Noma dinner rez I’d planned on har di har.
Thank goodness they offer a monthly payment plan, but I’ve been missing my home country for many reasons lately, and the affordable health care is mos def a major one.
The highlight of our day was lunch with a buddy who moved to PGH with his fam several years ago, and who was in town to catch an OUTDOOR hockey game tomorrow 
bc he apparently has lost his fucking mind. I introduced him to our favorite taco purveyor and immediately created a convert. No surprise there 
My PIC’s not feeling terribly well today, so we decided on an easy dinner & took a luscious porkadilla home from the taco place to share.
I made a small side of guac with the last ripe avo inda house to go with, along with sour cream & a variety of all green hot sauces. Simple salad with buttermilk ranch on the side.

Tried the squiggly knife cut noodles with spicy garlic sesame sauce from Trader Joe’s. The noodles were mushy and the sauce wasn’t spicy at all. Perhaps i overcooked the noodles when I added some chicken, veg, and a little coconut milk. I also added a tbsp of garlic chili sauce. Still not spicy. Just a bowl of mush. I’m sure it’s my error.

Sticky bourbon chicken; cauliflower rice, onion, red baby bell, carrot, garlic & herb seasoning, chicken broth, parsley; NYT The Greenest Green Salad, I added arugula and broccoli and used @roxlet’s green goddess dressing. I love that sticky bourbon sauce, licked my plate.

I thought the noodles themselves were ok, but they do cook fast. I think I got the sesame soy sauce version & also wasn’t impressed.

Tonight’s dinner was a Summer Sausage, Onion & Spinach Quiche. These flavors played well together and it was quite tasty!!

Oh yeah! My first hospitalization- 2 months-before the stroke — for a g.i. bleed — I got a bill for nearly $20k! The hospital hadn’t properly credited my insurance - which had been paid to them! That hospital nearly killed me in many ways 
. Glad the EMTs took me down the road a bit to the world class hospital for my stroke (no mess up in billing, either).
