Oh, my bad. Now I see the pan. What a tasty meal.

So many delicious sounding dinners! The photos are inspiring every day. Must up my dinner game.
Unfortunately, it didn’t sit well with me. I was awakened at 1 a.m. with some “issues”. 
Thanks
Such creativity, wow!

We enjoyed a fabulous wine dinner at Bistro D’Azur in South Orange, NJ. The chef was gracious enough to let us bring our own wines.

So sorry to hear that Linda, I hope it’s only the eggs not sitting right.
My husband is happy with cereal for Supper, not me. I prefer either an Appetizer of sorts or something cooked - eggs are quick, versatile and there’s something amazing about a runny egg on pasta.

Tonight my husband and I weren’t very hungry so I decided to make Ina Garten’s appetizer with fig preserves, goat cheese, fresh figs drizzled with Balsamic vinegar (IG tops it with a bit of microgreens which I’ve omitted) served on a Calabrese style baguettes (this also is good on lightly toasted potato bread or light rye if you prefer also lightly toasted). Recipe from Modern Comfort Food.
P.S.
The boys enjoyed whatever leftovers they could find in the fridge. This is my kind of Supper easy peasy.

Long week.
A very long week.
But I will have 1, if not 2, new thrones in my half and full bathrooms tomorrow, depending on how long demo takes in the half bath by my BIL. There might be no vanity, there might be no sink, there might be no new lighting, and it might still need to be painted, but there should be a new throne and new flooring.
So yeah. There’s that.
Made an easy dinner: thin-cut pork chop with Mike’s Hot Honey and bourbon-glazed mushrooms, with steamed asparagus alongside.
No starch, but oh yes. There was wine.
Oh…and the new paint color is in keeping with my tendency to mostly use food-named colors: Smoked Oyster.

Now Im going to have to make jambalaya soon that looks so good!
The main reason I cook corned beef. Reubens. And pickles. And beer.
The cocktail was Highclere Castle gin on the rocks. (Yes it is the Downton Abby castle) As with any new gin I tried it on the rocks first. It is frighteningly smooth, but it is only 87 proof so throw caution to the wind. To me it has a slight minty taste, maybe the lime flower listed as a botanical?

We had a belated corned beef and cabbage and invited neighbors. Also included mini potatoes, rutabaga, onions, and carrots. Homebrewed stout. Disposables, because our dishwasher broke.

I really like this recipe but hadn’t made it in awhile…cheesy polenta topped with spinach, tomatoes, sausage and a poached egg, courtesy of The Kitchn. I used a green chile sausage for a lil’ extra kick and finally got my egg poaching to a consistent place using silicone egg poachers I got for Xmas. Yum!

Portobello mushroom risotto with a schmancy Italian barley and a velvety glass of Cab Franc.
(Does anyone remember Recipe Source? That’s where I found this recipe back in the early aughts; I just have some old printouts, I don’t think the site is around anymore but it’s a nice nostalgia trip whenever I dig through my tattered binder o’ recipes.)

Mrs. P made spicy Andouille sausage and shrimp empanadas, and guacamole and chips to start. She also added garlic crisps, sautéed red onions, and mushrooms. For entrees we were supposed to have some leftover penne with smoked salmon, that was made and frozen several weeks ago, but somehow the smoked salmon had a really fishy smell, and tasted off, so we had to toss it. What a shame. It was really good when she initially made it. She has made it several times in the past and the leftovers always reheated nicely. Anyway, we had to pivot to an improvised plan B. We had some frozen eggplant cutlets in the freezer, and heated them up and made a stacked eggplant tower with Rao’s tomato and basil sauce and fresh shaved parmigiana reggiano. We had an excellent cabernet to go with it.

Your meal looks grand!
And actually as I don’t eat red meat and the hubby shouldn’t, your side dish was our whole meal - we did cabbage and turkey bacon. (The nice Columbus turkey bacon from Costco.) Surprisingly tasty and satisfying, with big chunks of bacon, and my mom’s rolls on the side. No pictures as I didn’t think it would be that good. And then no pictures cuz we ate it all!
