Top chef Wednesday was a quickie, grilled pork ribs marinated briefly with oyster sauce, fermented black beans sauce, garlic, sesame oil and agave syrup. Oven did the rest of the job. H actually liked it.

I was scrolling through April looking for @mariacarmen’s BF’s orange pepper & sausage ragu post (which I am making for dinner tonight) and this caught my eye, having just read @Kruczek’s post.
@mariacarmen
BF made a gigantor meatloaf, with ground beef and Italian sausage, glazed with hoisin/ketchup/Worcestershire. Really moist, loved the texture. Mashed potatoes with TPSTOB and a few sliced mushrooms, and carrots sauteed with dried basil and tarragon. I’m seeing a meatloaf sandwich in my near future…

My alternate Friday night dinner: a big ass, thick-cut, bone-in pork chop from my butcher, drizzled in olive oil and covered in Penzeys Tsardust Memories seasoning blend, then grilled on the grill pan and finished in the oven at 350° until internal temp was 135°. A wee bit overdone, but still very good.

Sides were mashed sweet potatoes with butter, ground ginger, maple syrup, and a touch of cream, as well as steamed asparagus and some of my Triple Apple applesauce.

And wine. Happy Friday, all!

Couple of chilly days here coincided with a rough work week. Comfort food required. Cottage pie (would have been Shepherd’s pie but no lamb on hand) with white cheddar cauliflower crust. I detest the classic additions of carrots and peas, so mine has sautéed mushrooms and kale in Guinness-based gravy. Also, :wine_glass::wine_glass::wine_glass::wine_glass::wine_glass::wine_glass:!

Not pretty, but so good. Mixed mushroom and smoky bacon fried rice, with garlic, ginger, spring onions, jalapeño, egg, and scallions. Smoked shoyu and Maggi seasoning. Garlic crisp and pickled ginger to top. BF turned his into soup (dental reasons), and that turned out really quite tasty.

@naf - we’re fried rice sisters!

Don’t feel bad, in the 20 seconds it takes me to reach the pantry I have forgotten what I needed.
