I believe it's time for cabbage and bean soup again. That's what I'm considering putting on the stove for tonight -- and the rest of the week.

I have no idea for tonight. I'll be going shopping soon and will decide then. Probably end up being lamb chops and salad.

I got home and my son asked me to make some sort of gravy or sauce. I diced up and sauteed a chicken breast with some onion, garlic, and herbs and finished it with a marsala reduction. My son surprised me with improvised poutine with tater tots, feta cheese, and the chicken wine reduction.
It was pretty good.

Would spicy sweet potato jo-joes instead of the traditional candied sweet potatoes be acceptable for Thanksgiving?

Been out most of the day with instructions, first one home put pizzas in the oven

So we arrived home just as the pizzas were ready.

Oops, I missed the cilantro link, we call it coriander.

I am aware of both terms. In fact my dry powdered coriander or cilantro is coriander powder. But when I buy it fresh at the store it is cilantro. It is like zucchini and courgettes or eggplants and aubergines. Okay, that is weird.. American Google recognizes coriander but not courgettes or aubergines. Those spellings are "wrong". The British have a heavier French influence on some of their words than we do. And wee have both a heavier Italian and Spanish influence that Britain does. And then there is the huge difference between "chili powder" and "chilli powder". The double ell chilli looks very very wrong to me because in Mexican Spanish the double ell is an letter on its own The rough Americanized spellng of that letter is 'a-yay". It acts very similar to a y at the start of a word. So "chilli" looks to me like it should be pronounced "chee-yee". The traditional l sound is gone in the Mexican "ll". Oh, like "llama". Mexico and South American that sounds like "ya ma"


Oops, too long who cares. Last night I did roasted potatoes and green beans with cherry tomatoes as sides for my porchetta. It was well received by all.

Salmon, chips and salad for Karen. Marlin, chips, corn on the cob and asparagus for me.

I don't know why she always wants boring, bland farmed salmon when the fish monger has a variety of fish they caught last night :shrug:

Fillet steak (which I just discovered is called beef tenderloin in America).

Or if you go to a restaurant you can order a Filet Mignon. Usually Americans do not use the French versions of words as often as British or Aussies do, but this is an exception. We are also more likely to call a deboned piece of fish as a filet rather than a fillet. The t is silent in filet. And to me it does seem to be an abuse of the term when one goes to McDonalds and gets a Filet-O-Fish sandwich.
