Those look right proper
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 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 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.
Aw, I’m sorry to hear that. I know it meant a lot to you
Chicken thighs marinated in Greek dressing, grilled veggies, pita and tzatziki made with labneh.
Gotta love a charcoal grill.
Soup made from late season farmers market bounty: pinto gold potatoes, leeks, kale, escarole and dill. Very tasty.
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.
Old School chicken tacos made with leftover rotisserie chicken, which was heavily seasoned with a homemade taco seasoning. Black bean refries.
Lettuce and tomato from the garden.
I will miss your unique tray!
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.
Tom Yum Goong following Pailin’s recipe:
Made some shrimp broth with a bag of shells from the freezer.
A simple play on cioppino - made with cod, fennel, Italian sausage, onion, marinara sauce, red wine, clam juice and fennel seeds
I love how big those prawns are! Very impressive.
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
