Very unusual-for-me dinner tonight, black beans with a little rice/quinoa mix, and cabbage slaw. Possibly my FAVORITE meal in a long time - and one of the easiest. Nice antidote to last night’s disaster.
Soaked and pressure cooked some dried black beans from TJ (lovely quality, tender but whole). Added a couple of tbsp of ready salsa (TJ pepita - really good), ground cumin, chilli powder, and a blob of TJ zhoug. Covered and simmered for 10 mins. Scallions and cilantro on top.
The slaw was simple - the last of a small savoy cabbage, scallions, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and a squeeze of lime.
Have to make a note so I can replicate the meal.
ETA Chicken skin “chips” from marinating some chicken thighs for later.
Does anyone else do this? I stopped throwing the skin away after having this as an amuse bouche at Ma Peche once.

I so love and am jealous of the fact that your chickens actually look like chickens, not the pumped up blobs that we have available to us here

Can you find good free range chicken? I bet with a price tag, like here too.

Thanks. Well, actually I just used the first recipes I find online. Nothing fancy.
The raw tuna was brushed with soy sauce, covered entirely with black sesame and seared them at high heat on each surface with a non stick pan. I sprinkled some shichimi too. There was a sashimi soy sauce wasabi dip.

Unfortunately not 
She is camera shy 
I am her mediator and number 1 fan 
I saw @LindaWhit recipe for lemon chicken and it looked good, and showed it to her, and she was nice enough to make it.

It will be fun to see a couple both posting! Actually never saw this in HO yet.
At least she reads a bit!
I send husband links of some posts here. He needs the photos to animate the “WFD” at office’s Slack platform. (Hopefully, he isn’t reading. LOL)

Tonight was skinless smoked chicken leg quarters, a salad of Bibb lettuce and plums with blue cheese and French dressing, and Mexi-kale rice pulled from the freezer.

Actually, she is a perfectionist, and doesn’t like when I post her food online She is embarrassed, and wonders why anyone would want to see a picture of her hamburger or chicken cutlet I keep trying to tell her that people love her food. I try to take pictures that do her food justice Her food seems to be popular on Instagram @eparyzer

This reminds me of a regional salad dressing phenomenon I observed at supper clubs in Wisconsin. People would mix French dressing (the orange sort, not vinaigrette) with Blue Cheese dressing for their tossed salads. Probably 90% of the folks I observed did this. Tasted pretty good!

A total misnomer for sure. It’s actually a classic tangy-sweet American dressing - this one is a bottled version my husband wanted to try: https://www.amazon.com/Briannas-Dressing-Zesty-French-Pack/dp/B001SAOJWG

That’s actually what made me think it might work - mixing the two is kind of my Midwestern father-in-law’s “thing”!

I have taken skin off chicken thighs scraped out fat and crisp the skin in the oven on parchment between 2 sheet pans. Incredible little snack that really wasn’t that fattening
