Hi, friends!
How did your Monday go? Decent start to the week?
After the holidays I’m always going back and forth between *fuck I need to eat all these leftovers* and *jesus fuck I need easy and gentle foods because my body needs a break from all that holiday food.*
Anyways, Sunday and Monday I used up the remainder of the shark coochie board for lunches. (if you don’t know the meme about dumb people not knowing how to pronouce charcuterie, now you do)
And I have made a casserole with spaghetti squash and a few other ingredients that I can use for dinner all week. If I’m smart, I’ll make a lentil soup with the last of my kale from the garden because New Year’s Day it’s supposed to drop down to like 22 degrees and I don’t think they’ll make it even covered that night. Parsley somehow hasn’t died yet either, so maybe I’ll do a lentil salad and then sauté the kale instead. Eh, I’ll figure it out. Ooohh I have crowder peas in the freezer, I could Hoppin John for New Year’s maybe. Well damn, now I need to figure this out.
my daughters fucked off for the week…so i actually get to cook! whoop whoop!
i mean..i havent planned anything…thats not how i work
todays food was cheese stuffed tortellinis with brocolli, smoked salmon and a creamy garlic and dill sauce..shalot added for good measure
tomorows….who knows… but i have surimi that needs using…so…probably something with that
I’m craving soup but I’m out of homemade stock and sick to death of cooking. I think I’ll pick up some lobster bisque from Fresh Market tomorrow and a quart of Hot and Sour from one of my local Chinese restaurants and eat that for the rest of the week.
Ooh smart plan! Lobster bisque is delicious.
I’m trying that chicken sausage/sweet potato/apple thing that @matthewcrawley posted recently.
Just about to come out of the oven. I think I should have gotten smaller/fewer sweet potatoes, the whole thing is like, 60% sweet potatoes. split it in two and stuck the other one in the fridge for tomorrow, I’ll see how that works out.
Tried the chicken cordon bleu recipe that @Elliecoo posted some time back, and I screwed up by not getting the thin chicken breasts. I got thinner ones this time, but not quite thin enough, I don’t think? not as bad as my first attempt, but not great. it was okay, but I think it’s a bit much work for me…
Anyways, back to netflix and stardew valley…
I made garlic prawns by request tonight & Szechuan peppercorn eggplant. Not sure about week but loaded up on veggies in case we get trapped due to shitty roads. I promised the girls Sashimi & sushi for New Year’s Eve.
