After 7" of cold rain over the last 3 days, serendipitously, yesterday’s episode of “Dining With the Chef” featured this recipe of Niku Jaga, which is a Japanese meat and potato stew (with onions, carrots and green beans) braised in a broth of dashi, sake, mirin, soy sauce and sugar. Easy to make!

I made chicken tortilla soup.
My DH made graham cracker cake, and I whipped some vanilla-bean cream.
All were heartily enjoyed!

A few errands.
A few flurries.
A simple meal.
Gulf shrimp tossed with Spicewalla’s Honey and Herb seasoning rub. Melted butter and white wine reduced in a hot skillet, shrimp added and quickly cooked.
Put on top of leftover Israeli couscous with sauteed spinach and chopped red onion with a bit of s/p alongside, topped with Mediterranean pine nuts, the only kind I can tolerate.
Wine.

A couple of recent dinners: eggplant, tofu and ground lamb with schezwan peppercorns and regular seasonings, with rice. Scotch Broth soup - both comforting and hearty for the wintry weather.

Plesse tell about your pine nut toleration. China processed vs others? Allergy/sensitivity or ethical reasons? Dish looks great!

Impossible Chicken Parm, cole slaw. The parm was good, but the cole slaw! I almost scarfed it up mid-prep, I liked it so much. It’s just cole slaw! You’d think I was altered in some way (I wasn’t).

Stir Fry Saturday. Udon noodles, sliced sirloin, broccoli, scallion, chili crisp, ginger, and garlic with bottled stir-fry sauce (not bad-- could have made it myself but feeling lazy). Excellent meal.
Pork and Shrimp Gyoza, frozen, from the Asian market. These came with a “coating” that meant you could pan fry without adding oil. Good thing I read the directions. It worked…kind of.
Martini(s).

Herbed ricotta gnocchi with lemon-green beans, bacon and parmesan (made to a significant part by our daughter - I could get used to that service)
