not sure why it was withdrawn, but I know from other posts that it’s strozzapreti. Thanks. Will look for it. Looks like a great, toothsome pasta shape.

Oof, I must have hit something wrong when scrolling through this thread earlier, @LindaWhit. Did not intend to delete my post! Now I can’t quickly figure out how to restore it. 
It follows below in case you’d find it useful —>
The pasta shape is called strozzapreti. I don’t see it often around where we live, so I buy it if I spot a package. (I scooped up this one at Alpine Butcher on the Lowell/Chelmsford, MA line.)

As a backup, I had also made a little bit of fresh girlfriend pasta (the kids were very excited).

Yeah, the FLAG button is dangerously close to the LIKE fork/knife button, especially on a mobile phone.
And thanks for the info…I knew you lived near me, so was hoping you’d say where you got it. LOL

I’m blushing. DH gets credit here, too.

I made clam chowder in the Instant Pot. Pretty good but I would dial down the garlic and add a bit of milk (used heavy cream, but not too much). Green salad with LindaWhit’s maple balsamic vinaigrette on the side.

A day off, and a day of introspection.
Dinner was a big-ass bone-in pork chop brined in apple cider, crushed peppercorns, and sprigs of rosemary. Patted dry from the brine, seasoned with olive oil and my favorite Penzeys’ Tsardust Memories seasoning mix, grilled on the grill pan and finished in the oven.
Sides were crispy roasted potatoes with s/p and a garlic-herb blend, steamed asparagus, and homemade applesauce.
And wine, of course.
And a sunrise pic from my sister this morning on her mountaintop in Maine. Because we need beauty in our lives. I’m missing my brother, gone too soon on this day a year ago.

Yes, we need beauty. And taking time out to reflect is a wonderful way to honor your brother.

Here’s a repeat of the caramelized onion, roasted pear, fancy cheese, and prosciutto pizza. Balsamic vinegar to finish.
The first time was just an experiment. Now it’s going into the rotation.

Chicken & Mushroom Wild Rice Soup
Looks like everyone is turning leftovers into soup. 
This one is leftover Chicken & Mushroom Marsala w/Sweet Pea Greens, Brown Basmati Rice & Wild Sweet Purple Rice gifted from my sis… and, of course, there was crunchy crostini (not shown).

I have leftover farmer sausage, leftover mozzarella, and leftover whisky. I may or may not report on soup tomorrow.

Soup flambé.
As long as it’s not cook flambé (avec de la soupe aux saucisses et au fromage), I’ll consider it a success.
