What's For Dinner #54 - The Leap Month Edition - February 2020

Yum, that looks so succulent!

Add probiotics!

Slightly OT but…

If heartburn is a regular thing, I strongly endorse Fast Tract Digestion by Norm Robillard! Made me waaaay better. I can eat anything but lactose now without supplements or meds.

Jambalaya, with chicken and andouille sausage (no seafood because of BF). A little runnier than expected because he added water to heat it up tonight. Very good, but could have used more heat, Frank’s RedHot at the table to the rescue. Looked at a couple of recipes and loved that this one called for stirring in a chunk of butter before serving.

For a while, I thought I had a serious problem. Then as fast as it came, it disappeared (ironically right around the time I stopped drinking Rook coffee-- a local chain). I still preemptively take the antacids after certain meals, though.

Now I only really get heartburn if I don’t eat for long periods of time. I’ve never been one for breakfast except maybe a roll. I head to work around noon and sometimes don’t eat anything the whole day until 4 or 5 pm when my time frees up. That’s when I’ll feel it, if at all.

Thanks. But what is really beautiful is the inside of my fridge! Nothing but cheese, catsup and friends. Either ate or tossed anything that couldn’t defend itself!

I had to google. Cool!

Ok, I’ve tripped into a lack-of-inspiration abyss.

Last couple of nights have been leftovers and pizza - last night got my vegetables in along with junk food before a movie - a spinach ricotta slice from my favorite local place (I love their crust, and they have an addictive house hot sauce that should be weird but is actually perfect).

Tonight I struggled. Intended to cook the rest of the package of ground beef from the cheung fun adventure, but nothing appealed.

So… more leftovers - English muffins and focaccia from last week’s baking, with boiled eggs (and calabrian chile sauce to perk me up).

Current mood needed chocolate. So, magic mousse - water + chocolate. Hit the spot.

A Carib-a-lo chicken breast from my local butcher (their Caribbean marinade with a Buffalo sauce), convection-roasted Herbs de Provence potatoes, and steamed broccoli.

And some wine to start the long weekend early…even though I still have to work tomorrow.
