Last night, roast chicken Italian style (cut into pieces pre-roasting) with roasted potatoes, garlic, onions, parsnips and carrots, roasted in a Pampered Chef.roasting an purchased at a thrift shop for C$2. Parsnip and Carrots roasted in Emile Henry and Le Creuset small roasting dishes purchased at a thrift shop and a garage sale for similar prices.

For tonight, the other chicken that came in the same 2-pack bag will be used to make a Malaysian-style chicken curry which all the leftover chicken will go into (in a KitchenAid or Cuisinart pot that I inexplicably purchased new).

A new (to us) Serious Eats recipe: Warm couscous salad with salmon and a mustard dill dressing.

Woah. There's a lot of flavours going on in here.

Link please?

Lol...that's what I thought!

Melted Green Cabbage.

wow. I’m tempted!! I made myself a pdf from the link.
I also want to make red cabbage (rotkohl) this year!!

It's really good; we've made it before. The secret is to use a dutch oven with a heavy tight fitting lid.

Adeena Sussman's book, , has a lot of great tasting recipes that are fairly easy to make; some of our other favorites are her za'atar roasted chicken over sumac potatoes (https://www.saltandspine.com/recipe/zaatar-roasted-chicken-over-sumac-potatoes) and tahini-glazed carrots (you can substitute maple syrup for the silan) (https://www.splendidtable.org/story/2019/08/30/tahini-glazed-carrots).

ETA: Sorry about the non-working links. I've tried to fix them to no avail.

costco cooked wild red king crab legs (not sure if Alaska)
baked potatoes
roasted Brussels sprouts (ina Garten)
Grilled chicken apple sausage

Let’s hope this is all good.


We have a LeCreuset dutch oven. I’m only now learning to not cook it on high temperature. Oops. But I finally get it :-)
I’ll start with this dish but will check the other links.

Where are the meatballs ?
I can't afford king crab legs but I like to drool over them anyway.

Stopped by a new, semi-local brewery. They serve your typical pub grub, which was fine. I enjoyed a "breakfast" burger (beef, cheese, bacon, lettuce, onion, tomato, and fried egg) on a wrap, as they were out of sandwich buns.

the ground beef isn’t fully thawed - I know I said this yesterday and I guess it requires more time.
let’s see how Wednesday goes...

I last had king crab legs in December. Definitely pure luxury and utterly delicious.

What’s happened to your constant ice cream diet? I haven’t seen you mention any lately.

If you just had the crab legs and the potatoes would you be left feeling hungry?

My guess is that all of those other dinners are for the wife and kid...they all eat separate meals. Otherwise I see zero reason to be cooking 2 kinds of sausage in addition to the crab legs.
