The grey weather of Autumn has fully settled in now so I’m trying to make more cozy foods. Today was pasta e fagioli with homemade bread. The bread crust was actually the highlight for me but I have a weakness for any baked good.

I was going to have gado gado for dinner last night but I felt like a warm dish instead. I didn’t have any meat thawed but I had to go to the grocery store after work. The store I went to used to make some really good store made meatballs but they don’t seem to have them anymore :frowning_face: They didn’t have any meats or fish for quick sale I picked up some ground chicken and decided on my way home to make hot sesame noodles.

Please tell me you didn’t lose / break your favorite dinner tray!

Yes my tray is broken :frowning_face: I bought a new one at a garage sale recently which I bought for half price at the end of the day. I just need to dust it off so I should get on that!

Edit it to add: Also the lighting in the living room is terrible at this time of year since the sun is settling. I have a functioning floor lamp but it casts shadows on my tv tray so I use my tiny kitchen counter to take photos for now.

A variety of foods that really have no business even being in the same zip code, let alone on the same plate, but here we are. This is what I felt like eating tonight.

I have similar ingredients, languishing in my larder. Soup is their fate.

Dinner tonight (sans photos) was an incredible PORTERHOUSE, the likes I haven’t seen in decades. Grilled a little on the rare side but nonetheless delish with a small baked potato and steamed asparagus with REAL homemade Hollandaise sauce. A new rhubarb pie for dessert. Hundreds of geese flying west tonight.

They are good prawns! Argentine red shrimp, got a bag of them frozen, raw with shell on but deveined. 13-15ct/lb, “colossal” size. Kind of taste a bit lobster-y. Expensive though.

Well I’d say they definitely look worth the price, very meaty and juicy looking. The biggest ones I can find here are Vietnamese I think and they’re still smaller than the ones you have :grin:
