Now that our local jazz festival
is over I can pursue some other interests. Last night I made peanut soup adding the kale I got in my CSA last Thursday. Served with rice on the side and garnished with peanuts. Tonight I had a garden salad with a Korean style salad dressing from Maangchi’s website followed by Korean short ribs and rice.

A very gray day with off and on rain called for comfort food. So, I made a quarter batch of the mac and cheese with cheesy garlic bread crumbs from Chrissy Teigen’s Cravings. I also was in the mood for collard greens, so I braised a bunch with some toasted and deseeded chile morita and duck confit I found in the freezer. Really, really good! I kind of want to make ramen out of the remaining duck, greens, and pot liquor.

I made “smashroom” sandwiches with portabella mushrooms, to which I added balsamic caramelized red onions. I skipped the pesto as mine had gone bad (unfortunately applied it to the baguette top before realizing. We’ll call these tartines.) I did not follow the fussy cooking instructions, added TJ Umami powder as well as a Maggi and spicy smoked pepper mayo, and they were great.
Sides of creamy cucumber salad, FM yellow tomatoes with local goat cheese, and microgreens with tomato and vinaigrette.

Leftover bbq pulled pork became tacos tonight, of course. Only thing missing was crema. BF’s got a little quesabirria action, almost.
and I’m still on the COTC train…

Road tripping for a few days. Staying in a cabin at the foot of the Cascade Mountains. The kitchen is fully equipped, as these things go. Still, most of our prep was done in advance. What we lack in variety we’ll make up for with volume.
Tonight was a beef, pork and chorizo chili with black beans (DH had his over hot dogs). On the side, NYT’s Hawaiian mac salad. I skipped the spuds and added peas and carrots. Otherwise, I followed the recipe, right down to the copious amount of mayo. Too much mayo for my taste, but somebody here liked it. It will get eaten, in any case.
Peas and carrots from the garden.

Mushroom escabeche tacos following a recipe from Guerrilla Tacos by Wesley Avila and Richard Parks III. Used shiitakes and oyster mushrooms rather than the wild mushrooms in the recipe. Very good, would make again.

Coconut and black bean soup - made with coconut oil, coconut milk, black beans, chilies, garlic, onion, all spice, thyme and at the end puréed part of it and finished with lime juice, fresh tomatoes and raw onions.

Chicken Chettinad. I’m hard pressed to find a difference between this and a “regular” curry, even when seeing several new ingredients listed. Other than whole curry leaves and a slight hint of anise, it was not much different. Still, it was enjoyed. For years we have cheated with simmer sauces and doctoring them up, but lately we’ve been using Mother’s spice packets-- so much better. Side of rice, Madras Lentils (Costco), and naan.
No cocktail tonight.

Italian at the beer garden near us. Split the vey generous antipasti plate & the pizza ‘diavola’ with “spicy” salami. Needed chile oil, of which we added ample amounts

@BeefeaterRocks, your meal looks like something I would enjoy very much. What did you think of the Chicken Diane recipe?
Ha! I do try to not drink at least one night a week. (Damn, that just doesn’t sound right!)

I think it’s great. I have made it before and will use it again.
