It also has three sample recipes which are pretty representative. A fourth is the black mushroom chicken one I described. The ingredients are minimal - and frugal given the period, so it’s quite an interesting contrast to some others. Can easily be adjusted too.
With the umami from the miso, that looks like it would be easily adaptable to a veggie dish that my son would really enjoy. We’ll have to give it a try.
Jeebus. Why are the holiday weeks always worse than the regular weeks? Why does MOAR SHIT get thrown into short weeks vs. weeks when you have another 8 hours to deal with stuff? :::Sigh:::
I got home sooner than I had expected but still later than I had wanted.
Wine poured. Bra off, which is a requirement. The gals who get it, get it. And notice how wine was poured BEFORE the bra came off. Priorities, dammit.
A b/s chicken breast was quick-marinated in a combo of fresh lime juice, olive oil, maple syrup, salt and a shit-ton of pepper, and then pan-sauteed in butter and olive oil and finished in the convection oven with the marinade pour over top while baking.
Steamed baby red and yellow potatoes and green beans and the PSTOW alongside.
Because if I’m going to have a shitty week next week, I’m having wine all weekend.
Ma po tofu recipe made with a friend’s homemade sichuan chili crisp - unbelievable stuff, very very sichuan peppercorn-y. We INHALED this. No leftovers.
I also also made pork dumplings that are now in the freezer for another meal. and then i remembered that I’d forgotten to make these green beans for dinner, so made them after - same basic mapo tofu treatment - for another night. maybe with the dumplings.
