What's for Dinner #38 - the Spooky Oct '18 Edition

I see. I wasn’t sure if it would glaze or thicken on its own.

No, it won’t, just more concentrated. Unless I add flour or corn starch…

Just in case if you are interested. The recipe asked for pears too!

Could not face another meal cleanup. We got a $5 organic rotisserie chicken and a few deli sides and ate at the grocery “cafe”!

Last night made the best of leftover smoke chicken thighs that had been pulled from the bone

Diced up a couple small Idaho potatoes and cut up some sweet mini red and yellow peppers as well as shishito peppers and roasted them in the CSO. Added the pulled chicken near the end to heat and brown up. Exceeded expectations

Wow, such a consistent lineup of inspired meals for every mood and taste. From a simple salad with fresh components to what I view as meal masterpieces this thread has become my classroom. Thxs for that!

Tonight is pulled roasted chicken breast in chicken gravy along with roasted pear stuffing, roasted B sprouts, apple cider punch and pastry shop mini eclairs.

If you enjoy roasted pears:

I have not tried making it. Looks easy to fix from the quick link I found. Which spices do you use?

Since I stripped the brussels sprouts stalks yesterday, I could conduct my stalk “marrow” experiment - exciting, tried and learned something new!

Stalks two ways - first, “marrow-style” though not really - sautéed in brown butter to caramelize the open side, and topped with herbed breadcrumbs. This was very good, and the breadcrumbs were a lovely textural contrast.

I had saved a few pieces to try in a less fussy fashion - just steamed, topped with a bit of butter and a pinch of herbs. This was actually my preference - the flavor was more clear.

Also baked some tandoori-marinated chicken legs. I’m always disappointed by homemade tandoori chicken, because no matter how good it is, it’s never even close to the real thing. It was delicious, though.

Back to back long days- definitely jumped right into the deep end!! I’m working with a really awesome team and so far it’s amazing except that at the end of the day i am too exhausted to deal with going into the city.
Last night i just had a yogurt from the common fridge breakfast food


And one of these fantastic cookies from the cookie jar! Whatever.

Beautiful view from this morning

Ordered delivery after a 12hr day tonight, first try was an epic distaster, second try finally worked. Ordered moroccan veg stew, side of couscous that sank to the bottom - really delicious! Desperately wanting a glass of wine but none to be had…
will be asleep shortly, tomorrow is going to be another long one.

True confession, I just cooked rice, split red lentils, cauli rice, and good sea salt together. The curry was plenty flavorful.
