Are you having the leftovers over the next few days or are you giving it the Sneak treatment and keeping it in the fridge until May? 😉

I was thinking like April! (Actually, in my fridge most leftovers are gone or frozen by day 3, or they become household trash).  Stocks and beans, if I think they'll be in the fridge for longer, get brought back up to the boil and then returned to the fridge.

And Serious Eats' tip was?

Beautiful plate, by the way.

They have the chuck cut into three large pieces and only seared on two sides.  I bastardized that a bit, cut the beef into 2 - 3" chunks, and seared them on one or two sides. Seemed to make a difference in both tenderness and moistness.

Working my way through some Indian recipes from a not very good book - an experiment in seeing what works and what doesn't. The night before last I turned my kitchen into a post-hurricane site with a

Ta. I must give this a try.

Thank you thank you. But doesn't everyone look better wearing a bath mat?

I can see that a lot of supermarket prices have gone up, but I bought a 2.34 lb pork roast and a 2.5 lb brisket each for somewhere between $7 and $8 -- I'll easily get six meals out of each of them.

Started on the pork last night with a herb crust and mushrooms cooked in rosé. Realized I am out of garlic.

Made the Serious Eats recipe for tamale pie, using the RG Rio Zapes. I added too much of the bean cooking liquid and didn't cook it down as much as I should have, so when it came time to add the "tamale" batter on top of the bean and beef mixture I had to dollop it on rather than spread it around. It ended up being more like dumplings than a top crust. Still tasted good, and now we have plenty of leftovers to get us through another dreary weather weekend.

Cauliflower braised with red wine, and caramelized cabbage. And that's it for the cauliflower and the cabbage! (I do have some cauliflower soup left, tell no one.)

Giant organic artichokes (braised in white wine, lemon, olive oil, herbs, garlic), on sale via Fresh Direct, at only $4 a pop. House-made mayonnaise-y thing.

Supermarket lobster cake with tartare sauce and a couple of thin strips of Morscher's bacon, in a zero carb bun in front of the Oscars. Very rare that I don't eat dinner at the table.

Because all of the early spring greens are coming up at once in the garden, N made a Lenten fish soup with butterfish, the greens, wild onion and garlic, plus toast slices with a rouille flavored with garlic, arugula, fennel, and lemon balm.
