I don’t have the patience to stand over a pot of polenta so I use a 3-minute one that comes in a vacuum sealed bag. I one I have now is Bellino brand but I usually buy what ever brand the store has as long as it’s imported from Italy.

I use Sam Sifton’s recipe from the New York Times. It cooks for 45 minutes, but only requires stirring once every 10 minutes. Comes out great.
Thank you for the suggestion. I’ll have to try it.
i had the most amazing cauli tacos at Pujol in Mexico City a couple years ago - with crispy chicken skin. I tried to recreate them but they were never quite as good.
Your tacos look great!

South Carolina I understand clearly enough, but what’s TPSTOB? Trendy People’s Stew Trough of Old Boston?

Last night was scallops, roasted asparagus with smoky salt, broccoli cheese, and salad with vinaigrette.
Tonight we had assorted TJ’s apps on the porch with our neighbor - hummus and pita crisps, Toscano Syrah-soaked cheese, Spanish cheese trio, Marcona-type almonds, spinach dip, mini quiche, and spanakopita. AtoZ Pinot Noir out of Oregon. No pics, but then I can’t really claim to have cooked.

I had a Manhattan before dinner and another while cooking so I had to keep it simple! Pan seared salmon with green olive and cilantro relish, Parmesan spaghetti squash on the side. The only knife work required was to cut the squash in half, which was accomplished BEFORE Manhattans!

You’re new here.
TPSTOB = the proverbial shit-ton of butter.
SC = sour cream.

PMTEPOB is still missing, in that case.
(Pretty much the entire package of bacon)

True, because lately the good bacon here has been in 2-pound packages. One pound is enough for any but the largest potato.

Worked late tonight and the BF had to turn in early for work tomorrow. But waiting for me was food from our favorite Thai restaurant and ice cream from the creamery across the street.
He remembered to request my ungodly spice level. I’m dyin’.

- Back in April, @CurlzNJ was helping achef friend who was developing a virtual game about food. Give her 4 food items you have in her house and she would suggest a meal using those items. Mine were sea bass, basmati rice, eggs and just about every spice from Aleppo Pepper to Za’atar. The suggested meal was Kedgeree. Kedgeree is a smoked fish and rice dish that originated in India and was brought to Great Britain. Thanks to a reference in The Crown, I finally thought to make it. I used a recipe from the BBC for “authenticity”. I didn’t have the smoked haddock as called for so I smoked the sea bass I did have. A lovely dish. I’ll make it again.
