We had conference calls all evening so I ordered in for everyone.
There was a great deal on momos, so that was the plan. After we got off the calls and I checked on the order — the deal was so good they ran out and canceled my order
Plan B: fried rice and hakka noodles, indian chinese style.
I had made a mixed vegetable soup before we got on the call, so we had something while we waited — bottle gourd, aromatics, a bit of tomato, all pureed and finished with sesame oil. Sounds weird but tasted delicious.
Last night’s second booster wiped me out today. A mid-afternoon trip to Home Goods, and I was done.
Wasn’t super hungry, but I had taken the dough, sauce and sausage out of the freezer, so…
Sausage and roasted broccoli pizza with some tomato sauce augmented with tomato paste, dried basil, oregano, parsley, garlic powder, and a smidge of Aleppo pepper.
A very small glass of wine, as I expect to crash early. Sleeping in and a late morning nap didn’t help.
The corned beef is making it’s swan song tonight. Accompanied by brussels sprouts colcannon, my butter pool sprang a leak, and a salad of butter lettuce, radicchio, avocado, carrot, green onion with honey mustard dressing.
Played sous chef at my sister’s tonight - first time making homemade ravioli - 4 cheese - with her tomato butter. Asparagus was perfect with the sauce. French pink bubbles from TJs.
Fusion Salad. It’s a little Cuban, a little Vietnamese, a little Korean, and a little Island. It is also really good. So light and refreshing with so many different textures and flavors. My mouth is happy.
We had another appetizer night (a.k.a let’s tear through the fridge, freezer, and pantry looking for odds and ends to get rid of). Didn’t manage to get through even half of what my goal was-- BF brought a couple of snacks from the Thai restaurant on his way home from work and while they were delicious, they kind of filled us up.
No pics of the food since was not really concerned with presentation.
Drinks were a Bluecoat martini with an orange slice for me, a dirty Aviation gin martini for him, and mom joined us and had an Appletini (vodka-based)
