voyager Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I totally understand, I have never ordered food in my life except an errant fruitcake or two but find myself actually considering both product and quantities that have nothing to do with how we live. Am also loosening my grip on specialty larder stock under te caption of "better to use it now than have it sold at my estate sale." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sneakeater Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Baldor. But I still go to the Greenmarket. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Behemoth Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Leftover lunch basically. Leftover fried potatoes, leftover onion slices, leftover roasted red and yellow peppers in a Spanish tortilla. (No egg shortage here!) Rest of the pide and feta dip, arbequine olives, the last of the Serrano ham. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
voyager Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Comfort food to the max. Prawns, onion rings, chard stems, husband's famous cocktail sauce. This is a calorie free meal for me. There are no calories in food you snatch from the table platter as you continue additional fry ups...are there? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Especially if you drank wine with it. As everybody knows, wine eats calories. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Josh Karpf Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 We still can't bake. Lucky for us, there's a downstairs neighbor who occasionally bakes incredibly delicious loaves that he announces, on our building's email list, are ready in exchange for a donation to his favorite political candidate. He's the only person lovely spouse has met in the past four weeks, aside from people on our one medical outing. She donated online, went down to his apartment, and gratefully accepted the bread as he offered on a tray through his doorway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Abbylovi Posted April 11, 2020 Author Share Posted April 11, 2020 Lunch was leftover salad: tofu tossed in soy, sesame, pepper flakes; crispy potatoes; smoked trout. On kale that had been wilted in a lemony tahini dressing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joethefoodie Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Along with the brisket for seder night #1... Matzo ball soup. Potato kugel. Came out quite tasty... Plated with the brisket, which was braised in a Marcella-ish style. Next time, more classic - I want a beefier gravy. Having matzo around usually leads to at least one breakfast containing said ingredient... So matzo brei it was. Though I do enjoy the ceremonial meals, it was back to baking... Banana bread from the King Arthur baking book, instead of my usual Nick Malgieri one. Nice and moist, as the batter contains a cup of buttermilk (kefir, in this case). I pan roasted a couple of D'artagnan poussins. Note the fond, which made for a lovely pan jus. The leftovers were nice for lunch the next day... As open-faced sandwiches, served with cole slaw and pickled red onions. This gratin... Of potato and fennel, I served with the braised porcelet collar... Almost all the mushrooms delivered went into... a ragout. To be served a few nights later. But before that, lunch yesterday... Porcelet collar ramen. And a delivery from Saturday was dealt with... Back to the kitchen! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sneakeater Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 All this cooking is definitely taking a toll on my hands, which are now slashed and burned to shreds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AaronS Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I am getting mildly anxious about the amount of food I have in my freezer and what will happen if the power goes out. I guess the more that's in there the better it will be, but my son left the freezer open a few years ago and that was bad enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
