Seared marinated chicken breasts, fresh Mozzarella, a gorgeous tomato, roasted red peppers, and balsamic glaze on seeded semolina. Perfect sandwich for a hot summer night.
Mom joined us tonight so three cocktails. All different colors. All gin.

WFD tonight was sauerbraten, red cabbage, and spaetzle. This is a once or twice a year thing at the request of my older son who loves it, but who has time and space to pickle a roast for a week?

Simple, really low effort casserole - cut up potatoes, carrots and leeks, mix in dish. Pour mixture of cream, milk, thyme, nutmeg, salt and pepper over it and put in 395F oven for 45 minutes. (And if you are fancy you can add some chopped hazelnuts for the last 5 minutes to have some additional texture.)

What? The “free” part?
So tradish, and well-presented. I love this meal.

Simple, looks like it tastes pretty dang good. Keep it simple. Saves food from ruin. Love the hazelnuts, too.

One of my fave phrases, too. Brutti ma buoni is a useful description for a lot of what I cook. And I have never even made the cookies that go by that name, LOL.

Of course.
Am I the last person in the world to discover microwaved COTC?? Tried it for the first time and it’s a game changer for me. I have trouble with my hands and the husks and silk came off so much more easily than when raw, plus no pan to painfully wash out. On top of all that the corn tasted cornier, if that makes sense, even though I never boiled it in a big pan of water in the past, only steamed it. Fresh picked corn from the farm, my first this season, heavily buttered and utterly delicious!

What is your formula for multiple ears? I did one at a time.

Posted on the old thread . Jet lag brain 
Our first home cooked meal had to be ‘murrcan: cheeborgerz, fries & our first COTC of the season.
The boygas were the best I’ve had in a while — but at least in the last 3 months: TJ’s organic ground beef MR, Wegmans’ sharp American, Aldi’s sesame brioche buns, mayo, shredded iceberg, red onion, sliced pickle.
The fries were good, but I still prefer L&W. Kewpie & Simply Heinz with.
Finally, the first COTCOTMFS was ok. A lil pale perhaps. I liked that it wasn’t sweet AF, but my darling wasn’t a fan. I’ll have to get some at the FM on Friday. And many, many tomatoes
