Hey Grandpa, What's for Supper? Part 2

[sourland]

Chicken caprese, baked potato, green beans and a mozzarella/Bibb lettuce/tomato/balsamic vinaigrette salad. I have really stretched this last tomato. I think there is enough left for tomorrow lunch BLT. Then I may have to go to Mc Donalds.

 

[Pork Pie]

Today I prepped some chicken tandoori kinda thing. Adding salt to a 12hour marinade is different but i guess the yoghurt will deal I’ll zap the chicken thighs under the grill tomorrow and see how it goes.

Update...
The thighs turned out quite well. It appears that the cooking techniques of a whole sub-continent and over 2 billion people work very well- who’d a thunk it?

Yesterday was chicken and sausage jambalaya, one of my specialties. It was not exactly right to be honest, but still was tasty. I clearly did not add enough flour when making the rue, so it was on the runny side (think soup instead of stew). Nobody was complaining though.

Tonight might be homemade sausage with sides yet to be determined. I ground about 20lbs of pork yesterday and left it in the fridge to marinade. I plan to stuff it into casing tonight when I get home from work. If I'm lucky, I'll get some half decent weather (no wind or snow) so I can smoke some it.

That sounds like some serious work, but smoked sausage is great

Honest, I've been cooking just haven't been checking in with you all. Last night was meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and spaghetti squash. Tonight I made stuffed cabbage, sauerkraut pierogies, and sweet corn.

Last night was Potato Soup with cheese and bacon.

Finishing the last of some baba-ganoush tonight. I’ve never been excited by aubergine/ egg-plant but I thought I’d give it a go. It’s about as exciting as licking snail-trails but healthy I guess

the store-bought roasted/pickled red peppers I bought are very poor, so that’s a lesson learned too. Roasting them myself and adding a healthy dose of balsamic vinegar and olive oil is much better

I hope the smoked trout and tuna mayo will lift the melange to something palatable

Son and family are here. Daughter and family are on their way. Lots of nibbles - dips, shrimp, cheese, brie, chips, etc. Later potato and sauerkraut pierogies, kielbasa and sauerkraut, baked ham. Lots of cookies and a birthday cake for DIL and grand daughter Jen.
