Abbylovi Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 My kitchen output has ramped up in the last week but I'm also trying to use items that I'd previously ignored. Like: the turnips from my CSA that have been in my veggie bin for the last few months. I've been meaning to try turnip cakes and have a batch currently steaming. What are you making?

Rich Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Tonight is Eggplant Parm with sautéed Rabe. Lunch is jammy eggs with Osetra and a tuna spread I made with boquerones - and of course wine with both. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Behemoth Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I did eggplant parm yesterday! Today supplemented the leftovers with pasta/peas/ham for the kids. Black bean soup with avocado for lunch. I'm not used to cooking two meals a day. Day before yesterday was a beluga lentil salad with roasted red pepper and feta, steamed green asparagus vinaigrette, and mollet eggs. For the kids grilled bratwurst and pan fried potatoes made from leftover boiled potatoes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AaronS Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I’m cooking the same things I usually would but making them in larger quantities and freezing as much as I can. I tried to order some belle chaurrine stuff from england last week and they said they’re not allowed to ship meat to the US at present, which I haven’t seen in the news. I’ll probably buy similar products from quebec tonight, but the ones I’ve found are all in larger sizes which may not work with my kids. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
voyager Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Like AaronS, I don't see our cooking change radically. We used to travel a lot and did most of our dining out then. We don't eat out much here, so won't miss much routine in that sphere. Except for dinner parties, I don't plan many meals around large chunks of protein. I'll just continue churning out "what's to eat when there's nothing to eat" meals from the larder until things get sketchy. Last night was asparagus beef with TJ's seeded couscous as Chuck asked for a moratorium on rice. It was good enough that there were no leftovers. Our new normal seems to be finish breakfast, look in fridge and freezer and plan dinner, take some jogs around the back yard and wait for "tad time". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I cooked the last two nights in a row. I got home tonight at 9 o’clock. Opened a can of white beans, threw down some garlic first, then added a quarter cup of beans, a squirt of sriracha, some tomato paste, some paprika, a little white wine, parsley, Pepper and chile flakes. A couple of anchovies. That cooked together while pasta water for egg noodles were cooking. Threw the noodles in a pan, mixed in sauce, added more water, then grated three aged Gouda as that’s the only cheese in my house. Sat and ate it, then went back out for 2 hours. It was so comforting to cook for myself and take a moment to sit down Quote Link to post Share on other sites
voyager Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 A great time to continue our siege on the Christmas ham. So, scalloped potatoes and ham With parsley salad 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 You know the ham is still going to win in the end. They always do. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 (I, meanwhile, am so happy I stupidly overbought at D'Artagnan's fantastic end-of-season game sale this year!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I distinctly remember, after putting in my order (I did it from a subway train), thinking, what am I going to do with all that stuff? Little did I realize. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mitchells Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I distinctly remember, after putting in my order (I did it from a subway train), thinking, what am I going to do with all that stuff? Little did I realize. Same. Last night was grilled pork loin from Dartagnan with a raspberry chipotle sauce served with RG Marcella beans seasoned with RG's mexican oregano. Tonight was a roasted Dartagnan chicken (I ordered 6 chickens and 8 poussin Monday cause I can't get my hands on a chicken where I live) served with roasted vegetables and quinoa. I'm feeling Dartagnan duck sausage with eggs for breakfast Saturday. I still have a porcelet rib rack, pork chops, veal flank steak and a bunch of different sausages. A few duck breasts hiding somewhere in my freezer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Oh man porcelet rib rack. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Funny, my duck breasts are also hiding. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 You know, if D'Artagnan had nothing but porcelet and Salt Meadow lamb (and let's add Rohan duck), they'd be irreplaceable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
