Mrs. P made a delicious sweet corn and scallion pappardelle from a recipe that we found in last Sunday’s Daily News. The recipe called for bucatini but we didn’t have any so substituted pappardelle which soaked up the sweet and creamy corn sauce. She also doubled the corn, butter, and scallions. There is enough for 3 dinners.
A repeat of the lemony seafood chowder. When I find a new recipe I like, I like to make a few times just to make sure I have it nailed down the way I want it. This one, from Epicurious, is a keeper.
'Tis an Indian summer day. Shorts and t-shirt, washed the car, G&T, even the garden is happy. Opened the Beefeater, over rocks, manzanilla olives. Salad for supper. White bean tuna salad over spinach. Toasted baguette with garlic, parm, parsley butter. Dessert was Asian pear with blue cheese, honey and pine nuts.
You’re welcome. Let me know how it comes out. I like that you puree the corn without even having to cook it. The leftover corn kernels give it a nice crunch, and the jalapeños and green onions give it a little heat.
Busy night after a day off that seemed anything but. Had to teach a class virtually tonight. That ended and went right into the Rangers’ season opener (they won thankfully ). I was dining solo and ordered Chinese: beef and broccoli with garlic sauce and dumplings (I’ll save him a few as leftovers). Old Fashioned[s] to drink. Sorry, no pics tonight.
No pics here either tonight. Ate a first for me – pasta with salmon, both smoked and not, finished with cream. Shared that and chicken Milanese with a friend, plus ridiculously intense chocolate gelato to finish. Also more glasses of wine than I usually would on a Tuesday, including a lovely moscato at the end.
Lentil stew with black lentils, fennel, green beans, dried tomatoes, thyme, fennel seeds and garlic. Served with some sour cream with grated lemon peel
I buy Bombay when I only want a small bottle as my liquor store doesn’t carry the small Beefeater. My son gifted me a large one of both for my birthday so i’m set for awhile.
Another night, another quesadilla. Still had (and still have) some of that prime rib to finish, and this time added a few sautéed shrooms. Quesadillas, where have you been all my life???
A martini for dessert. The last drudges of the Hendrick’s Neptune (meh) augmented with The Botanist. And since I was mixing gins already, might as well go with a grilled olive vs. my usual twist.
