What's For Dinner #65 - the Brand New New Year's Edition - January 2021

I made turkey porcupine meatballs similar to these, but using crushed tomatoes, a bit of brown sugar and splash of red wine vinegar, and 1/4 c cream.

Served over leftover cauli-jasmine rice with leftover braised cabbage and steamed haricots with butter and TJ’s mushroom umami seasoning.

A mid-afternoon trip to WF had me gritting my teeth at those in the parking lot AND the aisles. Somehow I got in and out relatively unscathed.

Picked up some wild caught sockeye salmon while I was there and went with an easy recipe to try something different than my two usual recipes. It was good; just not a wow.

Rice pilaf and steamed asparagus alongside, plus wine.

And a pic of what has become a regular nightly occurrence with Alfie lying on top of Finn on the back of the couch for a brotherly nap. They are so weird.

Move. Over. French Laundry! Or El Bulli, Noma or whatever I don’t care!

I hope the “fambly” appreciates your culinary endeavours. Or I’d shred the to bits. (J/K)

A feast for the eyes.
