What's For Dinner #91 - the Irish Spring! Edition - March 2023

A good deal of grazing during the day, so a compact dinner of sauteed spinach wrapped in fluke, and basmati rice left over from an Indian dinner I bought from one of my neighbors.

Sheet pan dinner. Roasted cod over roasted herbed potatoes. Hit the spot except for the potatoes burned in every corner of my cookie sheet. Will have to thicken the layers next time.

Tonight I ordered take out for dinner from a nearby Indian restaurant. I asked for Murg Palak but got Murg Bahar instead. It was really good though just disappointed it wasn’t what I ordered. I’ve ordered from that restaurant many times and I’m sure it was just an honestcmistake. I guess I will have to go back ,)

Your method is actually pretty similar to the NYT recipe our hostess used. Theirs includes anchovies, oregano (!), and booze.

I’ll be making this very, very soon!

Loose interpretation of Kaisendon. Maguro, Avocado, steamed rice, over a bed of cucumbers, and garnished with toasted sesame seeds.

Steamed? Or something I’ve never heard of?

Sorry yes, steamed.

Just fixed.

My husband’s choice last night. Salmon with tartar sauce, roasted broccoli and leftover sour cream horseradish mashed potatoes with more butter and chopped scallions. Baked until crispy. He also made a Duncan Hines carrot cake with DH cream cheese frosting. He added in chopped pecans/raisins and substituted milk for water because the back of the box said you could. Very good. My turn tonight. Off to pick up Chinese takeout.:slightly_smiling_face:

I found SANCOCHO in my suburban neighborhood! I can’t believe it! So good. Yay.

Last weekend I was eating at the only Korean joint around here and I was sharing a table with a family talking enthusiastically amongst themselves about various restaurants in town, so I butted in to get some recommendations. Turns out the husband was Salvadoran and they very enthusiastically recommended a Salvadoran-owned restaurant literally in waking distance from my house; I had driven past many times without giving it a second thought. Tonight I went in. The building used to be a Friendly’s and I have many memories of walking there en famille in the 80s for a cone on a summer evening. It was the fanciest ice cream around at the time.

Anyway the building had changed hands many times and now it’s a steam-table joint like many such places I know and love in NYC. I spied the sancocho, which my Brooklyn joint only offers on Saturdays, and since it was cold and rainy out, went in for a bowl. Delish.
