Danke, McTag! I need to rest now but otherwise I am pretty fine.
pot roast with carrots and potatoes, rice and gravy, corn on the cob and rolls.
BIG !!! pot of soup : turkey , matzo balls , sweet potatoes ... ...
nice mixed green and red (radicchio) salad with jumbo shrimps
Spaghetti squash soup.
Take one baked spaghetti squash, get rid of the seed part, fork out the 'spaghetti'.
In retrospect, I would have cut up the "spaghetti" into small bits earlier, but it's not that important.
I made a chicken broth based soup with chopped garlic, chopped onion, chopped celery, previously sauteedin oil, simmered.... some tomato sauce left over from using canned whole tomatoes elsewhere, some previously sauteed tofu, some slivered parmigiano... and the cooked spaghetti squash.... and scooped that into a dish with a slice of italian country bread.
Good.
We had bratwurst from ALDI fried slowly in a pan with a lid (we're not too keen on frying smells in our house) potatoes mashed with a little butter and milk, and steamed broccoli. Tomato sauce.
Not
haute cuisine, but quite good for a winter's evening.
I had fried rice last night.
Tonight, most likely chicken mole (mo-lay) with rice and beans. Had some leftover mole in the freezer from a previous dinner, just brown some chicken and stir in the sauce. Made up a big pot of refried beans yesterday that came out really well.
cjhsa-do you put chocolate in your mole'?
One defibilator special: Coney dogs, extra onions, chilli fries, deep fried mushshrooms.

If I make it from scratch I do. This was from a jar (just add stock) and has cocoa in it already
Jambalaya, crawfish pie, billy gumbo
Just singing.
Had Spinach Salad with green apples, cranraisins, roasted chicken and cashews with a creamy garlic vinaigrette.
That looks very good, cjhsa! I think I'll try it - though in a half quantity for me.
A question: how much oil do you use?
cjhsa wrote:Spicy Chicken with green chiles and onions
Four large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cinnamon sticks
8 whole cloves
8 green cardamom pods
salt and pepper
oil
1 large onion, sliced
2 or 3 jalapenos, sliced with seeds
1" piece fresh ginger, cut in small strips
1 large clove garlic
Sauce
2 Tbsp tomato paste or catsup
1 Tbsp dijon mustard
1 tsp garam marsala
1 tsp cumin
pinch cayenne
lemon juice
1 cup heavy cream
In a heavy frying pan heat the oil and hard spices. Season the chicken with S&P then brown on both sides. Remove to a baking dish leaving the spices in the pan. Add more oil if needed and the onions, peppers, and ginger. Saute until limp. Add the garlic, saute 20 seconds then add the sauce, stirring well. Continue stirring until thickened, about three minutes. Pour veggies and sauce over the chicken. Bake the whole thing for 25 minutes at 375F, serve with rice and a veggie.pheasant and partridge.

For me, it will be lasagne from La Pergola. I am not able to cook yet and BigDice delivers
How much oil? About 2 tablespoons to start with. If there isn't enough left after you remove the chicken, add a little more before you cook the veggies.
Thanks, cjhsa. I wasn't sure if the chicken required a deepish fry, with excess oil removed or the more shallow option.
