Dinner part one was some salmon maki that was a bit less scuffed than the last ones I tried making. I used less rice this time - half a rice cooker cup (90ml) of rice for 3 rolls. I also sharpened my knife.
Dinner part two was spaghetti with olive oil, garlic, and grated bottarga.

I always have a bag of peas in the freezer that I buy in the grocery store since I love peas so much. I buy fresh ones at the farmers market during the growing season too but I can’t imagine a pea-less fridge/freezer.

I guess I got a little carried away 
I had a 2 lb. bag of peas in the freezer and there was only a little left. The bag was so big the amount of peas left looked diminutive so I just dumped them all in a pot of boiling water then I realized how many peas there were left. Oh well…

I buy baby peas in bags of three. The large bags of “regular” peas I usually buy just one of them. But I ALWAYS have bags of peas in my freezer! (And Ziploc bags of fresh-frozen corn off the cob in my upstairs freezer).

That sushi is the model of perfection itself! Excellent job on rolling it.

Tried a Trader Joe’s frozen pasta product for dinner tonight: Fiocchetti in Pink Sauce. Little “bags” or purses filled with 3 Italian cheeses (Ricotta, Taleggio, and Mozzarella) with a light tomato-based sauce.
You cook them from frozen in a Tbsp of olive oil and 1/3 cup water, heated in a nonstick skillet. In the 1st picture, the squares are the sauce. I had to cook them about a minute longer than the 6-7 minutes in the instructions, and over a slightly higher heat from medium, as the sauce was still too thin.
I rate them “meh”, even after a sprinkle of Parm-Reg. Added a pinch of s/p that made them better. The pouches stay together, which is a plus.
It’ll give me lunch tomorrow. But I won’t buy them again.

Sautéed chicken tenders, leftover confetti rice with shiitakes, and a huge amount of snow peas stir-fried with ginger. I had not seen snow peas at the market for months. So tasty!!

Peri Peri chicken sandwiches. I brined boneless-skinless breasts before brushing with olive oil and Nando’s PP rub. Baked at 450 degrees for about 12 minutes to internal temp of 155 degrees. Served on toasted buns with a peri peri mayo, lettuce, and toms. Alexia fries from the convection oven on the side. Good stuff.

Those look SO GOOD. I’m not a fan of actual peas, but I ADORE snow peas and sugar snaps. Yours are mouthwatering!

After getting back late from Sunshine’s Hand doctor appointment, I needed a quick “throw-together” meal.
Pink Rice (from the freezer), browned a little ground turkey and mixed 'em together. Some frozen cauliflower made a quick trip through the microwave and was served.
Dinner served – Mission Accomplished.

Japanese-Style Chicken & Vegetable Curry based on a Milk Street recipe - first you make your own japanese-style curry powder by toasting, grinding and mixing dried shiitake, brown mustard seeds, coriander seeds, fennel seeds, cumin seeds, turmeric, ginger, paprika, black pepper, cloves and cinnamon. This curry powder is then used to cook with boneless chicken thighs, onions, carrots, potatoes, red bell peppers, ginger and garlic and thickened with flour. Finished with some soy sauce and mirin and served over rice

I do to. I love peas and a large bag makes a handy ice pack in an emergency.

Exactly! They’ve helped out immensely the times I’ve sprained something.

Oooh! Those snow peas look delovely! I was on a hunt for asparagus that is more than 1mm thick to go with my salmon tonight, but I might just swing that way instead
Thanks for the inspiration!

A belated bday celebration for one of my gal pals at our favorite watering hole last night, a few peens included — so, technically speaking not a ladies night.
I had my currently favorite libation there, a Qu’uir Royal, followed by a Solferino Spritz & a delectable Botanist martini.

One of my gal pals and I wore the tights I’d brought back for us (and another friend, who didn’t get the memo), but we’ll have to get a pic of all three of us wearing them 
The food offerings weren’t to my liking, but my dude shared the “Old Bae” fries with lobster cream sauce with another peen. I fucking hate Old Bay & I hate soggy fries, so that was a total non-starter for me.
Needless to say I was rather peckish upon arriving back at Casa Lingua, and apparently made a lil shrimp cocktail with the last of the open bag of BTS in the freezer.
Fun evening.
