Thanks, yes there is!
In the interest of keeping things real, a brutal work day + largely empty fridge (going away for a couple weeks) led to a minimal but kind of luxurious meal: delicious little local potatoes sautéed in bacon fat with Maldon flakes and sour cream. Plus a ginormous Scotch on the rocks.
Now this is a great compliment!
I hankered after small h’s light and elegant pea soup. But the devil took over and I served up a rib-sticking porridge of dried green peas, fresh peas, ham and orzo, should it not be stodgy enough. A cosseting bowl that should keep us overnight.
My friend who says she’s a terrible cook . And yes she hates cooking . Spends maybe 10 minutes on a meal . Myself hours .Gave me a little Tupperware container to go of her beef stew . Warmed it up for dinner. Tender beef , balanced flavor , with perfectly cooked small potatoes and carrots. It was so much better than mine . I think I’m doing it all wrong Cheers
Happy NEW YEAR to all Hungry Onions! Hope this year brings a lot of laughter and prosperity to your lives. Sharing a few recipe blogs and some pictures that can make your first month awesome!
Being an Indian in America has been a great experience thus far and I wish it remains so. Our eateries are performing well, all thanks to the modern USians for accepting Indian cuisine wholeheartedly.

The pictures that may cause profuse drooling!
Relish the zest of India in the US. Lastly, wish you all a zingy year ahead. Thankyou.
Ditto! I love the skin. I like juicy meat, of course, but will overlook if it’s not juicy as long as the skin is crispy good. Love kawa yakitori.
Tonight I made a Young Chicken with a rub of Adobo Seasoning, Penzy’s Chicken Seasoning, Smoked Salt, Vinegar & Vegetable Oil, roasted on a rack with Yukon Gold Potatoes underneath. Leaner and not as delicious as a chicken-y, French, Bresse Chicken, but tasty. Served with creamy, spicy, Aji Amarillo Sauce and a Green Salad w/Apple Cider, Lime, Honey, Vedge Oil, S&P
I’ve said something similar to @ChristinaM. She really knows her Asian flavors and has inspired a few dishes of mine.
I could totally do this meal and be very happy! Have a safe trip, wherever you’re going - and while you’re traveling…
this i could eat every day!
are you going back to Maine? wherever, enjoy, and eat well! (i have no doubt.)
Tonight I made yo po mian, doubling the sauce and topping with ground pork that had been marinated in rice wine, white pepper, corn starch, and soy sauce. Lots of chili crisp over top. Sides were Fuchsia Dunlop’s “dry fried” green beans (did mine entirely on a sheet pan) and her steamed squash with spicy black bean sauce.
Really wish we could get good Sichuan in Asheville, but home cooking works in a pinch.
Leftover molasses cookie and holiday beer ice cream for dessert.
Pizza night. Pizza sauce, Italian sausage, onions, Italian cheese blend, mushrooms, castelvetrano olives, piquillo peppers and a dusting of oregano and chile flakes on flat bread. Mixed greens salad, radish, red onion, cucumber, o&v dressing. Vino.
This is a thing of beauty…
Thank you, I was inspired by a picture I saw on Instagram.
BF made tacos out of the leftover grilled steak & pork chop from the weekend, and added Mexican chorizo for a take on suadero. He made a really good salsa fresca, adding in dried chiles as well as fresh, and doctored-up canned black beans, as well as a little salad of palmito and avo. It felt like it had been forever since we’d had Mexican! hit el spot.
Hacksteak (typical German mix of something between small meatloaf and a hamburger patty) made with mix of ground beef and pork, onions, moistened bread roll, corn, kidney beans and egg. (and some crisp bacon in top). Served with a mix of beans in a tomato sauce and fries
Made a batch of pozole verde con pollo using this Rick Martinez recipe:

I used boneless skinless thighs rather than rotisserie chicken and also less salt as my chicken broth was not low sodium. Pretty easy to make and came out well!
