The Rican is cooking tonight. He was going to make his pork chili Verdi but decided to make the pork in a red sauce. Plus he’s cooking some beans and rice, we’re having pork in red chili sauce burritos!

Let me guess, no tomatillos in the house? I still have that recipe, soooo good.

Nope, no tomatillos at the market this time. Your suppose to have the red sauce with beef but he decided to make it with pork, smells yummy

Frankenstein cooked tonight. I'll share this mash-up with you.

It's called Chicken Piccata a la Francese.

Semi-thaw a Chicken breast and cut in (4) 1/4" slices
Pound them down with a mallet
Dredge them through spicy flour and a thin egg wash(one egg w a TBS of water)
Fry in the best olive oil ya got
2 min a side.remove

Boil up 1/8 cup chicken broth,1/8 cup Pinot Grgio and 1/8 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice in the pan while scraping bits.
Toss in some capers and 1/2 pound of pre-fried fresh mushrooms.
Toss in 1/4 stick butter covered in flour.
When reduced by half toss in chicken and simmer 2 minutes.

Voila! Mangiamo!

You lost me with "semi-thaw" already, Panzade Never, ever buy frozen meat!!

Apropos meat, I've been trying to eat meatless for the last 2 weeks - just to test if I feel better or not. So today I tried for the first time tempeh - made it with sweet potatoes, onions, miso paste and fresh herbs. It was good and satisfied my appetite.

I don't buy frozen meat but the breasts come in packages of 3 or 4 and as a dude cooking for 1 I have to freeze the rest of the chicken for later consumption.

I like your idea of going meatless. I try to do that 2 or 3 times a week.
Salad Nicoise, Ramen soup or a Cuban black beans and rice dish.

we make veggie "hobo packs" n which we slice sweet potatoes, yell beans, mushrooms and green onion tubers and we usually add some Pul Newman "sauce" and wrap each in tinfoil nd do em over the charcoal grill.
Ecellent because we punch holes in the tinfoil tops and let em steep in the smoke. Its really good.
Weve tried alot of veggie hobo pcks and theres nothing that weve found bad (although daikons are a bit much as are green leafy crap).

I'm down to one package of meat a month now. I make it last. Easier if it's a bigger, say, a whole chicken.

Me 2
As a single cook I get screwed by the markets when it comes to fresh meat.
Everything is family packs.
I only shop twice a month so I have to break up the portions and freeze them.

I never did make the roast last Sunday, something came up and we had something else so tonight I made it with mashed potatoes, gravy and mixed veggies and it came out fabulous, tender and juicy.

For dessert we had sugar cookies with butter cream frosting.

beef shawarma from Sultan's

delish

the pickled turnips are about the best in town

Leftover tomato veg sausage pasta soup

and now for some homemade gelato (cocoa almond peppermint)

Baby Backs were on sale for $3.99 a lb so I made some "Dragon Ribs"

They're marinated for four hours in a mixture of soy sauce, sesame seed oil, lemon juice, crushed garlic, cumin and chili powder.

In the oven for 2 hours @ 200 degrees in a glass dish covered with foil and finished on the charcoal grill.

Slathered in a new BBQ sauce I found called Sticky Fingers Memphis sauce.
The salty sweet combination is delish.

That sounds delish, panzade!

Fresh pickerel (aka walleye) seasoned with Cajun seasoning and lemon zest, brushed with a little butter/olive oil, baked, then sprinkled with chives and parsley.

Sweet potato fries cooked in the Actifry and arugula salad.

Japanese-style noodles with a fist-sized ball of rice with shredded seaweed on the outside, meat and other things I couldn't identify stuffed in the middle. Then something like tempura, but a Korean version. Deep-fried prawns, I suppose.

Focaccia stuffed with misc vegetables; iced tea

I made polenta for the first time. It is very much like grits. Not sure why I haven't tried it before. I loved it though.

I did not saute' it in patties. I thinned it out with chicken stock and put a nice smooth chicken stock based sauce over it with mushrooms and bacon and artichoke hearts - with a squeeze 0f lemon. We had roasted chicken and a salad with pears and goat cheese and a red wine vinaigrette.

tonight we'll have hamburgers.

Oh good! I'm a polenta fan (of course I would be) but haven't made it myself from scratch in quite a while. I use Marcella Hazan's old recipe (doing it the hard way), which is probably why I haven't made it lately.

Tonight is our last night at grandma’s house. Grandma and aunt Isabel made dinner for the kids and the Puerto Rican and I went out for dinner.

Miso soup, ahi tuna and vegetable tempura.
