What @mariacarmen said, @Harters . Always welcome here, with or without pics! And the arancini sound perfect!

They are a farmers market purchase which freeze well and, once defrosted, just need a warm through in the oven. We need to make a tomato sauce for them. Pasta a la Norma is a regular order for me at our favourite Italian restaurant. Some weeks back we had a try at making it - double quantities - half for then half for the freezer.

Made Giada’s Cioppino recipe because I had a buttload of seafood. She doesn’t add crab. I did. I love this recipe. I love the fennel in the broth. It is SO good.

Made migas (basically scrambled eggs with additions) on warm corn tortillas along with some cherry tomatoes, green onions, black olives, and pepperoncini. I was really disappointed. Just didn’t think they were very good. Won’t be making again.

aw, too bad! did you not like the crispy chips fried into the eggs? hard to see what you have there with the tortillas enveloping the eggs…

Mmm, I’ll have to try this. I’ve never had the real thing, does it typically have crab?
I think it was just a dish-mash of whatever leftovers the fisherman used to have to stick into it. I don’t think there is a typical. Although, most of the ones I’ve had do have sort of shellfish in them. Crab, in particular.

Had a slow day at work so I took advantage of some extra time and the sunny weather to fire up the smoker and cook a few racks of ribs. St. Louis cut from Costco, coated with a touch of BBQ sauce and then a hefty dose of dry rub. 6.5 hours at 225 over a mix of pecan, cherry and hickory, and they were just about perfect. Fennel slaw alongside. Lots of leftovers to enjoy this weekend, too!

Freezer dig-out of the chicken/shroom/pepper sauce from a few weeks ago, over linguine, with added slices of leftover Portuguese sausage from last night. Can’t go wrong adding sausage, sez we. Salad with winter tomatoes macerated in Corti Bros. red wine vinegar.
Happy Friday, everybody!

Nice to see you here, @Harters . I have many brown gloop things in my freezer but only sometimes recognize what they are before defrosting. It can make for an interesting meal.

Flour-and-corn tortillas with homemade chorizo and refries. Ranch for me. Sriracha mayo for him.

Looks lovely @Rooster !
I must have missed it - would you mind sharing?
I have so many frozen jars of mystery soup or sauces… we’re slowly working our way through them, but only on days when I can handle the potential disappointment if that day’s selection is not very tasty. I’m also trying to remember to label the containers better before they’re frozen!

A new-to-us success tonight: SK potato and broccolini frittata. Very easy and amazingly it did not stick to the frying pan at all! my daughter is a bit of a tough customer sometimes and she enthusiastically asked to put this one the “make again” list.
