Upped my Chicken Tikka Masala game by attempting to make Tandoori Chicken without a Tandoori oven, before it would be added to the sauce. I marinated cubed chicken breast in Tandoori spice paste and yogurt before grilling. Still not identical to my favorite restaurant’s version but as close as I’ve gotten at home. The grilled chicken in kebab form would have been fine on it’s own.
To drink was a Manhattan!
That looks great!
And now I think I know what my cocktail is going to be tonight…
You are killing me, Mr Happy, killing me.
I think I know what’s for dinner now! Thank you.
Nicely done! That’s a labor of love.
Tonight’s dinner was a salade nicoise. I dressed it with an olive oil/lemon juice vinaigrette and chives.
Dang, if you and BF can eat fried rice with chopsticks, I am envious. I always eat fried rice with a spoon.
Another favorite salad! So excited to see these warmer weather dishes start to appear.
Sun-dried tomato, chicken, pesto and tortellini with asparagus. A Julia Pacheco recipe, that took less than 30 minutes to prepare, starting with frozen cooked shredded rotisserie chicken in place of the raw listed.
A half-recipe made 4 servings for us.
No pictures, but it looked like the one posted with the recipe. And tasted great.
Pizza night. New and I thought tasty combo of ingredients. H’s crust, tomato sauce, some dollops of olive tapenade, the first garden asparagus, soyrizo, goat cheese, and mozz.
Diced feta cheese, instead of blue cheese in that Pseudo Cobb. A restaurant in Calgary used to offer feta as alternative to blue.
Shrimp Fra Diavolo over creamy, cheesy, caulienta (cauliflower polenta). I used Calabrian chilies, those little devils are hot. Salad of tomato, cucumber, red onion, little mozz blobs, o&v dressing with a sprinkle of dried basil. I made the little mozz blobs with my melon baller. Warm sourdough seeded roll with tpstob. Una Negroni.
This is the way!
Started out with chopsticks, finished with a fork. 
Italian app night: Eggplant Caprese Stack and assorted meats and cheeses.
To drink was multiple French 75’s.
Dessert: BF was off today (I was not 
) and he went to NYC with a friend and picked up cookies from Ferrara’s.
Ironically it was just above freezing and snowing out today;) but I know what you mean. I look forward to many more main course salads these days especially with my CSA starting in a few weeks.
