I marinated several chicken thighs in a combo of olive oil, lemon juice, s/p, minced garlic and fresh rosemary, dried oregano, dried parsley, salt, pepper, ground sumac, and paprika. They were roasted at 425° and 350° until done.
Oof. Multi-culti dinner of take-out leftovers tonight, after our usual fries brunch. Leftover rice and roasted veggies from the Guam place, with a fried egg, leftover ribs seester and I had from a sushi place last night, and a Yucatecan joint’s pickled onion for color/crunch. BF made a salad, thank god. Because, fries brunch.
Hah, yeah, totally get it - craving a lot of things right now. As weird as it sounds, I’m just trying to be creative as possible while prioritizing the fresh stuff that’ll go bad first…
Sunday night comfort food dinner involved roasting everything in the oven. Small yellow potatoes got the duckfat treatment. There’s a side of rainbow carrots with a drizzle of pomegranate molasses, and steak tips in a maple bourbon marinade.
I list the potatoes first because roasted potatoes sure do a lot to improve one’s mood.
Also this helps with our provisioning situation, because the generous package of marinated steak tips from our butcher will yield another dinner this week. The rest (uncooked) I popped into the freezer.
I haven’t had sushi in a month, so as part of a large run at the local Japanese market, picked up a bunch of fish to offer some respite from today’s happenings and ever-so-scrappy meals. This chirashi includes bluefin tuna, chutoro, hokkaido scallop, kanpachi, scottish salmon and tamago.
A couple recent dinners; the H is still doing most of the cooking. You may notice a pattern in our meals. I need to be careful, lest I pick up the Covid-19 (lbs that is)
literally, we go to the resto/bar around the corner from our house and order bloody marys and an order (or two) of fries. sometimes I add oysters, sometimes I get a cocktail. But it’s always fries!
but since the lock down, we’ve been recreating this at home for the last 2 weeks. it’s been nice!
