Supper

Yeah “nothing”

[voyager]

Fair enough.   Rephrased, there was nothing that I particularly wanted to eat.   The cheese was bought in error, as I assumed it was their "Breakfast Cheese" which is a simple brie.   I dove deep in the stack to get a chilled one and didn't bother to check the label.    I seldom by choice buy a truffled product since I find them disappointing and over-priced.   So, wrong cheese in hand, I tried to mitigate my error and at least get a dinner out of the fiasco.  It was amazingly not bad.

Looks really good to me.  But I’m debased.

An aside, husband is spending some quality time by himself in the country.    He calls multiple times a day, most recently a few minutes ago asking about dinner ideas.    “You have cottage cheese?”   “Yes.”   “You could sauté a bit of garlic, add some cottage cheese, black pepper, olive oil, moosh it all together and serve it over pasta.”   “…..Sounds awful”.   “Could work….”    Unsaid, “or not”.

Will advise.

Cottage cheese and egg noodles is an awesome dinner.

That was on my dinner rotation as a kid. Loved it!

Because we're experiencing little heat blips in the Bay Area, I made the recipe for Tinned Fish with Warm Beans and Herbs from the latest RG book. It's very versatile--you can use any white bean and any tinned fish--so I made it with the Baby Green Limas and some Spanish sardines in olive oil. Since I added all of the sardine oil, I used both lemon juice (per the recipe) and a little sherry vinegar to cut the richness. Also, a large shallot is a good substitute for the white onion.

Chicken in a piperade sauce over spaetzle.  Simonsig 2019 Chenin Blanc to drink (which also had gone very well with the sardines & beans).

Despana morcilla, red wine and mustard reduction. Dense, slightly sweet morcilla.

That's a lot more attractive than what my mother served when I was kid. There were no herbs involved.

You created an earworm that severely impacted my night with a continuous loop of

 

Glorious, victorious.

One keg of beer for the four of us.

Glory be to God that there are no more of us

Cause one of us could drink it all alone.

Lucky for you I have no idea how that song goes.

[voyager]

Ay, ay, ay!    The classics are indeed dead.

Chicken-fried chicken-of-the-woods mushroom sliders. All chicken except no chicken! Lettuce and tomatoes from the balcony, homemade challah rolls - shana tovah!

Another hot weekend, another salad: a variation on RG's recipe for Salade Nicoise, using Royal Coronas. No green beans, because we're long past that season, so I threw in an avocado for something green (besides the parsley).

Currywurst

Did not take pix, but last night my sis made me meatloaf, mashed taters and roasted baby carrots. It was wonderful to have some real food. I even had a tiny taste of wine, but not much as I think pain pills and wine are frowned upon.

[StephanieL]

A kind of coronation chicken-type salad, with packaged sous vide chicken breast (from Roli Roti, a very popular rotisserie chicken truck here), barley, and RG Buckeyes.

Falafel burgers with hummus and salad drizzled with tahina.

Splashing out a little.
