My finger has not stopped throbbing. I’m supposed to take the emergency doctor’s bandage off tomorrow, apply antibiotic ointment and put a new finger bandage on. I take a blood thinner that causes problems with coagulation. So if it starts bleeding again, back to the urgent care center I go.
The soup was delicious. The beef shanks are quite flavorful and tender. We’ll have another meal with it tomorrow night and freeze the rest for a few more meals. It’s been cold and rainy here. Perfect soup weather.
Dinner tonight was inspired by @shrinkrap’s cauliflower baked ziti. Roasted cauliflower and garlic, sauteed Italian sausage, onion, baby bells and then mixed it all together with alfredo sauce. Back in the oven until bubbly, served with parm, parsley and asparagus. Salad of tomato, moz, oo, balsamic and basil. I licked my plate.
With no suitable veg on hand to go with (squash would have been nice, or carrots, or brussels sprouts, or cabbage), I continued the fruit theme and went with roasted apples.
“Date Night Crab Risotto”, adapted from At Home In The Kitchen, by David Kinch. My additions were toasted garlic, peas, and Fresno chiles. Delicious end to the work week!
I really HATE trying to playing catch-up during the remaining 3 workdays.
Killer Fridays are Just. Not Fun.
I went as easy on myself as I could for my late dinner: Gorton’s fish filet sandwich with a remoulade of mayo, seafood cocktail sauce, and additional horseradish, topped with lettuce on a lightly toasted TJs brioche roll, with Lamb-Weston crinkle cut fries alongside with Heinz Simply Ketchup.
Homemade pappardelle cooked al dente, browned butter and a bit of parmesan. Cucumber salad. Fruit for dessert. Everything disappeared even though no one was particularly hungry. Egg pasta: it’s what for dinner when you want inexpensive and satisfying.
Scallion roasted chicken over potatoes. A little bit Cook’s Illustrated High Roast Chicken (March-April 2000), and a little bit NYT Chicken With Green Garlic Potatoes.
Grilled chicken marinated in a spicy Korean barbecue sauce and fried basmati rice with garlic, broccoli, gochugaru, and an egg. Butter instead of oil makes all the difference.
Wow Junior. Cdc and I did chinese too but take out tonight. Vegetable moo shoo for cdc with a little extra container of hoi shin sauce. He loves having two containers to play with. Everything fried rice, a large container where I am forced to eat all the shrimp because cdc does not care for them. It is late here but about to crack open the won ton soup for a relaxing and soothing late night snack. I remember getting poo poo appetizers for two a long time ago. And I remember Pee Wee joking about poo poo platters on Pee Wee’s playhouse. #tequila
