It really was. Just finished stuffing ourselves. Barely made a dent in the noodz, even tho we barely used a quarter of the package.

That’s what they get for being last on the plate :joy:

I’ve been recuperating from major surgery. I got a clean bill of health Friday so I can get on with my life. Knock on wood. I made sure I had plenty of leftovers in the freezer so that I would have something easy to fix for dinners.Today was a balmy 65 degrees so I decided to grill. Chicken thighs with aji verde sauce, fried potatoes, onions and peppers, and a salad of mixed greens, tomatoes, , red onion, muffuletta salad, sherry vinegar & oo dressing. A glass of Lambrusco to celebrate.

Happy Birthday @GretchenS

Fried tilefish with shallot/lemon/caper/butter sauce. Spinach with some horseradish sour cream dressing I have to use up, so I made creamed spinach of a sort. Not too bad!

Glad you are OK. Take good care of yourself.

Jerusalem artichokes are probably my favourite summertime dinner! When I’ve finished cooking them I wait until they’ve cooled down a bit then open them up a bit to remove the choke. Then I fill up the cavity with dipping sauce like tzatziki or baba ganouj (sp?) or spinach dip.

That’s just a regular artichoke.

For Mr Bean’s birthday I decided to make a “nice” steak for him. This 1.5+ pound T-Bone is from a nearby butcher that specializes in locally grown, pasture-raised meats. It was reversed seared, spending about 25 minutes in the oven at 225 which left it very rare. I then seared it on the stove top only until it was little less rare, It was cooked perfectly for me but Mr Bean threw his piece back into the oven to get it closer to medium rare.

Served with smashed Brussels sprouts and mushroom sautéed with garlic, thyme and marsala.

I had intended on having chicken curry last night but when I showed up for picket duty yesterday there were hot dogs! And timbits! After eating my body weight in junk food, last night’s chicken curry got bumped to tonight. So tonight waa chicken curry with rice noodles.

My apologies I meant globe artichoke. It’s kinda hard stuffing a Jerusalem artichoke ,)
