Tonight’s dinner was a Rice & Vegetable Casserole with panko on top. I flavored the rice with some curry powder, cumin and turmeric. The veggies were onion, broccoli, tomato and black olives, along with some shredded cheese I wanted to use up. I really liked it, but Sunshine thought I should add some chicken next time I make it.

Our dinner was a disaster last night (no photo). It was my turn in the kitchen. I had a can of Maesri green curry paste. I stir-fried it in a heavy pot with a chopped yellow onion, some of the coconut milk, then added the rest 2 cans of coconut milk, cubed chicken breasts and vegetables (zuchhini, red bell pepper and baby corn) and simmered until the vegetables were tender. Served on Jasmine rice. It was so d@mn spicy we couldn’t eat it! We ended up with some cheese and crackers…

I usually use 1 tbsp of curry paste at a time. The whole can must have been very spicy! If you ever end up eating too spicy food again, eating a little yogurt after helps temper the heat in your mouth.

Happened to us last week, long story. I misinterpreted a recipe and threw in 4 tbsp sambar powder, and realized just as I did it that it was a mistake. Oof! Incendiary hot, even for us who like spicy food.
We tried dilution: more tomatoes and water. But what helped was adding a LOT of peanut butter. Changed the taste profile completely, but it went from inedible to edible.
ETA: if I had coconut milk that would have worked, as would have cashew or almond or sunflower seed butter, you get the idea.

I made an Instant Pot casserole recipe that was actually quite delicious. (Hunger is the best seasoning! Long hike.)
My changes: Kept the chicken breasts whole except for slicing in half lengthwise. Added bay leaves, Badia Adobo, sauteed dried onion, onion and garlic powders, shredded carrots, and (per one review) a can of cream of mushroom soup. Added TJ’s Umami powder to the rub. Reduced the cheese. Released the pressure after 6 min.
I drizzled some chimichurri over the chicken, but it honestly didn’t need it.

Long day. To get my mind off things, my sister and I went antiquing after we put Alfie next to his brother, stepsister, stepbrothers, and cousins.
Dinner was seared pork chops seasoned with s/p and dried thyme, with a sauce of semi-caramelized onions, 1/2 cup plum ketchup from my freezer, and 1/4 cup of white wine, all whisked together and reduced.
Sides were convection oven-roasted baby yellow potatoes and Brussels sprouts seasoned with s/p, garlic powder, and dried thyme.
And Wine. It is National Drink Wine Day, after all. Not that I need a specific day designating a day to drink wine.

Read the recipe - looks good and easy, don’t think you could go amiss with some smoked sausage either. A mountain jambalaya.
