What's for Dinner #67 - the It's Been A YEAR Since This All Started! Edition - March 2021

Would you buy those again and/or are those fillets a repeat purchase? I’m asking because I have been craving a fried fish sandwich and I wondered if those would scratch the itch.

Yes, I’ll buy them again. They’re not crunchy as if you had deep-fried them, but they have a nice crispy crunch when you cut into them with a fork.

that looks absolutely heavenly.

Tacos for a Friday night. Carnitas pulled from freezer, made an avocado crema (super easy: avo, sour cream, cilantro, onion, garlic, jalapeno & serrano chilies, lime juice, s&p, whizzed in the food processor.) I would like to be buried in this stuff please. Or folded into it. Fried the BF’s tortillas, charred mine. rice got a little crispalicious as i was playing a game of office bingo and let the rice sit for an extra 20 minutes. WHOOPSIE.

Oh your wine brings back such memories! My friends and I took a road trip through Napa maybe 20 years ago. Peju was a surprise visit and was one of our favorite stops. I don’t drink at all, so I didn’t sample, but my friends do and had a few sips. It was a great trip!

Lazy day. Despite waking up at 6:45 a.m.

Leftover roast lamb was defrosted and used in a pot pie. Used a regular Pillsbury pie crust for the topping rather than a mashed potato topping for a Shepherd’s Pie-alike, but cubed boiled potatoes were in the lamb mix.

Sauteed onion, garlic, frozen peas and corn, and fresh diced carrots rounded out the veg, tossed in some minced rosemary with the diced leftover lamb, and the lamb gravy was thinned with a bit of heavy cream.

Damn. This was REALLY good!

And oh yeah. There was lots of wine.

We enjoyed another excellent dinner at Cafe Panache in Ramsey.
We enjoyed an awesome special of squid ink pasta with shrimp, mussels, and chorizo; black sea bass with tomato caper sauce; the always decadent filet mignon ravioli, and a fabulous salad of prosciutto, sautéed red peppers, arugula, and shaved ricotta. We had amaretto cake soaked in amaretto for dessert. It all went great with an excellent 2005 Syrah.

I’m ready for my cookbook “A Million and One Ways to Plate Chicken Cutlets”. Seen here with mashed cauliflower and a boatload of broccolini.

There was a martini.

Mashed Yukon Gold potatoes with chives, Johnsonville “Irish O’Garlic” sausages, and onion gravy. Not sure what part of the sausages made them Irish - they tasted a lot like their regular brats (not a bad thing).
