Reheated last night’s One Pot Tortellini (w/ sausage & spinach), usually made with 1 pound mild Italian sausage but varied to use just a half pound of Jimmy Dean mild. Result was still plenty flavorful and meaty. Today served beside Italian blend salad, with cucumber & grape tomatoes. Breadstick. Red grapes to finish.

Mapo tofu is WFD at casa lingua tonight :yum:

Yours looks PDG indeed!

We usually go to a Sichuan restaurant, this was from a Cantonese place and they had a good laugh when I asked to make it MaLa! We enjoyed it, enjoy yours.

I had a measly Strammes Mäxchen just now — so late in the day even I don’t dare qualify it as breakfast anymore :grimacing:

Half a slice of toasted TJ’s Tuscan pane, shmear, a bit of an obscenely thick slice of porchetta from DiBruno’s, and sharp American. F’n non-stick pan wasn’t all that non-stick, and the egg broke a tad before the whites steamed shut. It was fuglee but edible.

Looking forward to dinner even more now :smile:

That last 1/3lb of ground lamb had to be et somehow, and it wasn’t going to be enough for köfte to go with a snacky mezze dinner tonight, so I TOFTT :wink: and fried it up as a well-seasoned (Penzey’s Turkish, s&p) patty in its own, luscious lamb fat. While that was sizzling away I whipped up a dipping sauce with Fage, a little mayo, feta, scallions, garlic, Aleppo pepper, and a lil more Turkish seasoning.

Hit the spot… but now I have to figure out WFD tonight :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

It snowed last night then freezing rained this morning so I am still going through my “let’s pretend it’s spring” mode. Lunch today was a barley salad and iced tea. The salad involves adding radishes, cuke, red pepper, parsley and mint added to said barley. I dressed it with an evoo, lemon juice, garlic dressing. Iced tea was brewed green tea which was cooled down then chilled then I added a lemon slice at serving time. Twas nice.

Your sauce would make a great salad dressing.

Great idea!

Sliced chicken breast, wasabi, avocado in pita. Patatas Fritas in olive oil on the side for some crunchy goodness.

Anyone else scroll thru the old photo posts here, pause on one thinking “that looks tasty!” Only to realize it was your lunch?.. Asking for a friend. :blush:

Not here, but sometimes a meal or dish will pop up in my Facebook memories where I’m like “wow I made this? what?”

Funnier even when a dish you plan on making pops up that you made the exact same day years ago :upside_down_face:

Exactly this! This actually happened to me a couple of days ago. I was scrolling through Facebook while eating dinner and eating a dish that I made on that day exactly a year ago.
