More oink. One side is a lot higher than the other and got burnt. I just sliced the burnt part off. Eaten with raw fennel and lots of apple sauce.

Burgers are on the dinner menu tonight as well
Thre some brussel sprouts absent mindedly into the oven with the chicken. Sprouts nuked.

A simple burger and salad. A quick pickle with part of a Persian cucumber really elevated the burger.

Iâve been playing with my new Instant Pot pressure cooker all dayâŠI wasnât sure if I was going to keep it, as I wasnât sure if it was âmy styleâ. So I figured Iâd try a couple more recipes before I dismissed it completely.
Beef-Barley-Vegetable Soup for Mom Meals and for work lunches for me worked out nicely (beef stock made last weekend). Pic is of my little taste test. Mom should like it.
Tonight was another try, Lemon Butter Chicken. Not bad - could be a bit more lemony for my taste, but still, pretty good. Yes, there was wine.
And thankfully, I have a doctorâs appt. at 11:15 a.m. tomorrow morning - so I expect that the coming snow will have turned to rain by the time I need to head out.
And Iâm finally watching âFrozenâ. Probably the last person on earth to have seen it.

I really was craving miso tahini sauce- but itâs freaking cold and a salad didnât sound good. Poked around and basically used this recipe from serious eats- i swapped the salad greens for sautĂ©ed chard and used a few clementines instead of the grapefruit since i had those. The miso tahini sauce was excellent and really hit the craving

LindaW, I havenât seen Frozen. Hah!
Tonight was oven roasted skate wing. Dusted with flour and pan fried but it was so thick I had to finish it in the oven. Made a sauce for it with mashed anchovies, garlic, chopped presered lemon, olive oil and capers. Tomato salad and linguine.
Hope the photos turn out. Donât look promissing on the camera LCD.

Roasted butternut squash lasagna with baby kale ricotta filling and fresh-made herbed pasta sheets. In terms of time-taste ratio, I donât think it was the greatest success.

It looks beautiful, at least! I like a stronger cheese in a meatless lasagna, though. Maybe try it with fresh chevre next time, or part chevre part ricotta?

WFD - Duck breast - started cooking on the hob and finished cooking in oven, simply in itâs own fat. Served with oven roasted potimarron, sprinkled with cumin, sumac, anise, olive oil and off in the oven for 35 minutes. Added some Italian pork grease with the potimarron. Splendid!!

Had boudin balls in Lafayette, LA, a few weeks back. Really good flavour - reminded me of haggis.

Iâve tried butternut squash lasagna many times both making it and at restaurants and itâs just too carb on carb and ends up bland somehow. Lasagna seems to need hearty greens, mushrooms, or a summer squash like zucchini.
This sounds insane but if you have leftovers try it with a little bit of soy sauce sprinkled on top.
Interesting! I havenât tried haggis but maybe they taste similar because boudin has a good amount of liver in it.
LIver & pepper were the signifciant similarities. Texture was also similar.
