FT has spoiled me with my own cooking.


I’m craving food so I’m inspired to have some oranges! Minneola and blood oranges. Thank you!
It boggles my mind that you wouldn't get carryout for yourself if you are picking up carryout for the rest of your family, or that you wouldn't say no to carryout completely.

Also mind boggling that the wife and son are eating calorie/salt /fat/sugar bombs of burgers, fries and shakes so often. Nothing nutritional at all.
Gaobest, if you have designated yourself to be the family cook, why not try making some healthy home cooked balanced meals that the whole family can eat (like the chicken & brussels sprouts sheet pan that you made).And then maybe the burger takeout can be a treat a couple times a month.

This. Speaking of, I need to decide if I'm reheating my leftovers from lunch yesterday for lunch, or if I'm cooking chicken for lunch today.

Thank you. Here you go:



This is all we were able to eat last night. It’s 11” in diameter. Oh, and it’s a NYT recipe for anyone interested. The recipe says to layer the slices evenly. Some of the comments say to just dump them in. It will still be beautiful. I just dumped. Seems to have worked out.

Thank you! It looks like creamy goodness inside a crunchy crust. This is on my list now...

Last night had Spaghetti Amatriciana - haven't had that for years and it's so easy and wonderfully flavoured.

Tonight, bucatini with shrimp and broccolini in an olive oil sauce. My love of garlic continues, and thankfully my wife puts up with it .

Saturday's project is to clean up the grill, as we're supposed to get into the 60's for a few days next week. It was covered under several feet of snow until a couple days ago. I'll be grilling anything I can find in the house if we get lucky and have 61 with sun!
