What's for dinner?

[Oldscruggsfan]

Tonight’s supper was what certain US fast food joints refer to as “chili pie”. No idea why it’s called that. It’s Trader Joe’s corn chips smothered in home made chili, with guacamole on the side for dipping extra corn chips.

Dinner is for dinner. We had a rooster called Dinner because he was never going to be a keeper. So he's in a pie tonight, with onions, celery, carrots, mushrooms, potatoes, peas. "The pie looked very comfortable" as it cooked...

I sometimes can't handle the acidity in tomato sauce…

A dash of sugar to taste cuts the acidity of cooked tomatoes.

Halal cart style chicken, turmeric rice, broccolini, and homemade pita


Recipe:

Serious Eats' Halal Cart-Style Chicken and Rice With White Sauce

This utterly faithful recipe perfectly recreates a New York City halal-cart classic: Chicken and Rice with White Sauce. The chicken is marinated with herbs, lemon, and spices; the rice golden; the sauce, as white and creamy as ever.

It's not the taste, it's when it gets to my stomach. I actually love the taste of acid stuff, but something about cooked tomatoes doesn't always sit well, sadly.

Oooh thanks for the recipe! I might have to try this with rabbit (although can't do this white sauce - no egg, no dairy here, sigh, I'll have to try something else). Looks delicious!!! Love all those flavours!

The sauce is eminently skippable, and isn’t what I used here. If I’d planned better I’d have made hummus and drizzled with some tahini. There’s a bunch of pita left, so garbanzo beans are soaking to make hummus for lunch tomorrow

Soaking and about to be thrown in the Quicker Cooker with duck ham, herbs and veg for dinner. These are all of the varieties of dried beans that we grew last year. Some are landraces that we collected from our own plants over the years, some I remember the names, many I don't.

Scalloped potatoes, ham, and cheese. Just finished. Yummy. Raspberry scones with whipped cream for dessert. Uke practice later. All is good.

Wings, sauerkraut, mashed potatoes. We had about 30+ chicken wings delivered to us from a friend this weekend, along with carcasses after processing so we could turn them into stock. 19 quarts of stock later... plus a chicken wing dinner tonight.

Pork Adobo, white rice, and a cold Blue Moon beer.

Veggie Pizza, homemade. Onions, peppers, pepperoni and cheese. Delicious.

Mince and cheese pie. I got inspired after a colleague’s trip to NZ.

I want this, it sounds and looks delicious. I am surprised I'd never heard of this before.

Salmon Picata with Broccoli. Forgot to mix the dill in the sauce so sprinkled it on after the picture

Recipes are easy to find. My first attempt was to follow the recipe for Steak and Ale Pie from America’s Test Kitchen On YouTube. Their crust beats all others. Now I try different fillings for variety. It’s such a nice comfort food.

Tonight's dinner was exceptionally delicious. Beef, bean and cheese Chimichangas with homemade pico de gallo, sour cream. refried beans and Spanish rice.

I really need to stop reading the Food posts late at night … (sigh)

Stir fry and bunny crack. It's a tempera battered knockoff recipe from some chain for Chinese chicken nugget things; we use rabbit tenderloin, and it's amazing so it's bunny crack. You can't stop.

A jimmy dean hot sausage patty topped with a fried egg and a slice of cheese served on a toasted half bun open faced with a ridiculous amount of black cracked pepper and a smidge of salt. Cooked on my 260 watt Nostalgia MyMini Noodle Cooker and Griddle powered by my Sudoo 372 watt portable solar station. I'm in the boondocks lovin' me some tiny life.
