maison rustique Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 I had milk and cheeses to use up so made a very small baked mac and cheese with cheddar, blue cheese and some of the pepperoni and mozzarella crisps I got at Costco. Very tasty and my doctor would probably not be happy about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MitchW Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Sometimes I take the easy way out...these are from King Dumplings, on Hester and Allen...right up there with the best of what I can buy frozen. I think 50 were $13. I get a nice, crunchy bottom on them with this pan frying/steaming method. Wild Alaskan (sockeye) salmon and Alaskan halibut, from Great Alaska seafood. Salted for a few hours, and then roasted in the steam oven - they come out cooked just right. Served with saffron (Basmati) rice pilaf, and sautéed broccoli and carrots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diancecht Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 (edited) hubby and i visited a mexican supermarket in the mission i don’t remember the name, only that it was huge. supposedly there was a cvs or walgreens that was about to close, and the folks behind the supermarket took over the lease. they got a really great deal. anyway, we made a huge vat of pozole and some guacamole. the guac has lime, white onion, green onion, tomatillos, jalapeño, cilantro, salt, and some tabasco. it’s amazing and it’s going to be my go-to. and the pozole has ancho chilies, pork shoulder, hominy, garlic, onion, bay, cilantro, lime, and other good stuff. served with cabbage, lime, guajillo chile powder, radishes, onion, mexican oregano, and tortilla chips. and fruit salad for dessert. the recipes for both are from the nopalito cookbook.

MitchW Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Marcella's Penne col Sugo di Funghi Coltivati. Okay, it's Penne with Mushroom Sauce, a dish I've been cooking ever since I bought the book it's in - which looks like 1987. The book is not in great shape; the recipes still are. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maison rustique Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Since I'll be moving in a couple of months, I'm trying to clean out the freezer. An unmarked container turned out to be black-eyed peas. Not the best thing for a nearly 90 degree day,, but it was tasty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
