Grandpa, What’s for Supper?

[Bpreynolds2]

Why I’m glad you asked. 
Butternut Squash Bake with fresh mozzarella, grated Parmesan, torn basil, and drizzled rosemary olive oil. 
What’d you folks have?

[80CX100]

Omg that looks good 

I've had a hankering for a good hit of Basil for a long time,,, one of the few things I miss from having gardens going.

Did you just toss all those ingredients with cooked Penne noodles then toppings, bake and broil?

I haven't cooked with noodles for years, but have had an urge lately, so I added some Rotini to my last batch of chicken soup.

But it didn't look that good:thumb:

Much thanks.  Sautéed the squash with onion and garlic, then boiled briefly in stock, then puréed with hand blender, then tossed in baking pan with fresh mozzo and parm cheese, pasta, and sauce.  Baked for about 30 minutes.  It was delicious.  Used a Bon Appetit recipe as a base but I improvised a little with the mozzo cheese and rosemary oil.
 
Let’s see some other dinners.

I cooked a Cajun recipe called pork grillade. It’s pork steaks stewed in a Dutch oven with a gumbo like roux served with some sticky rice. Pork steaks were so tender you could cut them with a paper napkin. The gumbo mixture on the rice was epic. Great with a frosty cool one. Bon ton roulle!

Oyster Stew. A dozen fresh oysters, half and half milk with a generous slab of butter, with crushed up saltine crackers. 
UM UM!

     Well, I'm not much of a photo guy, but I love my food and cooking, so I'll play  lol

      I'm sure you don't want a picture of my coleslaw or salads, but this week's soup has some pretty intense color with the spices.

      I'm living on a different style soup than I normally make, I cook on the fly and build it as it goes, here's how this recipe ended up.

       Boneless chicken breast cubed & tossed in a dry rub of summer savory with a little chicken spice & cumin, seared in olive oil, ginger, garlic, onions, pan flashed with pickle juice, turnip,sweet potato, carrots and bok choy, bay leaves,more summer savory, turmeric, Lalah's curry and rotini noodles added at the end.

Sunday night is always popcorn night, no dinner.  2-3 T Olive oil in the ss whirlypop (best popcorn popper out there & way better than the aluminum model) with 2/3 cup yellow corn.  Popped corn is finished with more EV olive oil, grated Parmesan cheese, granulated garlic and a little regular table salt.    The garlic & parm make it fantastic and that makes my wife very happy.

Sunday lunch is always bigger.   today was a whole organic chicken (on sale $1/lb) which I split along back, fully boned & left in one piece. Well seasoned with kosher salt & pepper.  Bricked the chicken in an iron skillet with olive oil until breast skin was crisped, then flipped.  Topped with Mire poix of carrots, celery & onion and cooked with lid on over lowered heat until nearly finished.  Removed lid and crisped skin again under broiler at the end.

Accompanying the chicken-

1. a third of a head of cabbage (in season and on sale), sliced and steamed/slightly boiled in salted water with a larger stalk of celery (also sliced thin). Celery works well with cabbage. 

2. Buttermilk mashed potatoes- boiling cut potatoes with peel on in barely enough salted water keeps 100% of the potato flavor and nutrition in the preparation vs draining them. Mash with buttermilk to proper consistently.

Last Sunday was sesame tempura shaved pork with celery-soy cabbage & fresh greens from our garden and rice.  It'll be spring soon enough to do paella in the backyard for Sun lunch, cooked over a proper fire of twigs and sticks so the rice is crispy around the edges and well-smoked.  My saffron crocuses are already putting up leaves.  We can hardly wait.

My grandfather used to make lutefisk (boiled cod) and potatiskorv (potato sausage) for Sunday dinner. Fifty years later, I can almost taste it now!

If I ate lutefisk and potato sausage, I'd have that problem too!   Maybe just for a week or two though ...

Well I was mostly kidding about the Lutefisk, don't miss that so much, but the potato sausage wasn't bad. What I really miss is the glogg he made at Christmas time. Now that's a drink!

[geoff in almonte]

Home made Tortierre with oven baked potato wedgies in olive oil & basil, carrots in butter & marmalade.

A bottle of Beaujolais.

Some single malt for a pre dinner jolt.

Comfort food for the Bleak Mid-Winter blahs.

Mon Dieu!  Tabernacle!!  Colis!!  And all those other Quebecois cuss words.

Pitas with falafal slathered with garlicy tahini sauce and tabouli salad with extra cucumber, tomato, and mint. A nice dry red wine to go with it. Who lives better than us?

Now that sounds nice.
And the others too.
Pasta on Sunday night as mentioned above.  Last night was Sopa de Albóndigas/Mexican Meatball Soup with vegetables.  Meatballs made with uncooked rice, garlic, fresh mint, pork and beef, soup of celery, carrots, corn, vegetable broth, cumin, oregano, bay leaves, tomato sauce.  Topped with avocado and a dollop of sour cream.

This is cruel. Here's me, with no tastebuds and a throat full of ulcers, and you show such pornography.
