NYT’s lemony white bean soup with cumin and chili pepper. Recipe calls for turkey, but I used ground chicken thighs instead. Greens consist of some baby kale from the garden. Homemade toasted ciabatta on the side.

Success with the chile relleno. I discovered I had fresh poblano chiles in the fridge. Stuffed with lots of pepperjack cheese, mole drizzle and cotija cheese. Served with crispy tortilla tacos. Seasoned beef, lettuce, pico, cheese and taco sauce. And tequila sunrises.

I bought mine across the border in California, only paid $24.99, plus tax of course. I think I got a bargain.

We enjoyed another fabulous dinner at James on Main in Hackettstown, NJ. Besides the usually awesome hand cut fries, duck leg confit, pork belly, mushroom bisque, and prosciutto San Danielle salad with figs, we enjoyed specials of venison and hake. It all went great with an excellent Shiraz and Gigondas.

Wow, I used to hear old deli men joking about “Fat is flavor” so to hear servers only wanting to do lean? 
Lean is good. Many folks want or need to do lean. But you should have a choice.

To be clear, it was my BIL who did all of the work. My sister and I made a Home Depot run, took out trash, and went and got chicken parm sandwiches for lunch.
And the spackle we got needs no priming. Goes on pink, dries white. My sister has used it at their cabin and says it works great.

Where is the gadget from? I need a set.
Part of the reason that Jewish delis are hard to find in the San Francisco Bay Area is that fat is a three letter word.

Dinner tonight was a break from leftovers from the family visit (we ate them for lunch, though 
)
We had my mom’s signature Paya / (goat) trotter soup with fresh Pav (rolls). So delicious - and sticky!

Overstuffed corned beef and sauerkraut half sandwich on awesome sourdough with mustard and horseradish. So so good! The annual corned beef is mostly about the leftovers…

I went with comfort food tonight for several reasons, even though the meal was better suited to yesterday’s gray and rainy day. But it also cleared out some freezer space upstairs. Plus I didn’t have time to plan it yesterday. So it was WFD today.
Meat loaf was made with a pound of meat loaf mix (1/3 lb. each of ground beef, pork, and veal) augmented with two 1/3 lb. beef hamburger patties. An egg, 2 tsp of Worcestershire sauce, s/p, 2 heaping Tbsp of caramelized onions, 1 Tbsp of dried minced parsley, and about 1/3 cup of Panko crumbs were all smooshed together, and formed into a loaf to fit in a regular-sized loaf pan. A bit of Panko sprinkled on top, and it was baked at 350° for about 1 hour, 20 minutes, pouring out the excess liquid 45 minutes into the cooking.
Defrosted Guinness Beef Stew gravy was the topping for slices of the meat loaf.
Mashed Yukon Gold potatoes and some defrosted leftover mashed gingered sweet potato were mixed together and that, and baby peas, were the sides.
Along with some wine.
