First trip out of the house since my surgery on Monday. Picked up a couple of pounds of green asparagus, fresh parsley & heavy cream for tonight’s dinner. Bopping around the supermarket was a little more exhausting than I expected, so it was good I hadn’t gone out by myself - but I had to take a nap when we got back home – something I never do.
WFD was cream of asparagus soup with a lil lemon zest & topped with crispy prosciutto. Light and springy.
I also received a beautiful fruit plate through Edible Arrangements a dear friend sent for my recovery, so we got some healthy-ish dessert, too
Thank you! This was frozen, but I tried to pat it dry as best I could and then stir fry in batches. It helped somewhat, but the top of my range looked like a crime scene when I was done!
I belatedly looked up the solution, and apparently it is either to sear very fast or then to cook it to death (half an hour or so) – in the middle is rubber, but either end is tender. Go figure!
Continuing our ongoing play on Spaghetti Carbonara variation: - this was a nice one - Miso Spaghetti Carbonara. White miso and sriracha added to the egg yolk and parmesan mixture. And baby spinach at the very end
Chicken roulade, spinach, ham and Gruyère with a honey mustard sauce. Rice, carrot, red pepper, onion cooked in chicken broth, parsley. Salad of mixed greens, tomato, red onion, avocado, pickled beets, blue cheese and ranch dressing. Wine.
I tried to make this Lentil (meatloaf). I thought it was pretty good, although Sunshine didn’t like it. I did use one egg as a binder and not the “chia egg” the presenter used. I was thinking about maybe adding some tomato paste for the next try?? I’m still trying to help Sunshine lower her cholesterol (through diet and exercise). I’m looking for any suggestions that might “fix” this Lentil loaf… Thank you in advance.
Kinda meh dinner. Salmon a la Ted from Chopped, spaghetti squash, lemon pepper asparagus, COTC and arugula with fig vinaigrette. Salmon was from frozen and fishy, salad dressing gloopy, asparagus a tad over, and spaghetti squash is arguably the worst squash. COTC was picked too early but passable. Filled a hole.
