What's For Dinner?

[Wu Wei]

Dinner tonight, well I am not sure.... but I just had Pie for a snack

I've never had a soapy carrot

I wonder which has more of those chemicals. My worker said that only about raw carrots. She did not mind cooked ones. The people that taste soapy carrots may absolute abhor cilantro.

And porchetta for dinner. Maybe with pasta with homemade marinara. Or just go straight to paninis.

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.

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

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?

Broccoli? Broccoli? Vile weed!

When one is married to an Italian, better get used to that "vile weed".

Today, I think I'm gonna get split pea soup and an Italian dinner salad.

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.

 

[We Never Know]

May not be ready for dinner today but I have a crock pot full of chili with deer meat going.
Mmm Mmm

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
