We're going to try the viral tiktok tomato and feta pasta recipe tonight. Anyone try it and have tips? I've already heard we should use two pints of tomatoes and possibly add thyme. We got a high quality feta from Fresh Farms when we went there a couple weeks ago. (They have a feta counter!) And I have a short pasta to use.
Pretty sure it’ll be pizza and salad tonight. Goal is a better version of Detroit pizza.

Wild rice doesn't turn purple. Black rice, also known as forbidden rice, turns purple. Black rice is not the same as wild rice despite the fact that they both black in appearance.

Bratwurst and mashed cauliflower.

I have not heard of this but does it call for fresh tomatoes rather than canned?

Mixed green salad
leftover chocolate fondue dippers: organic strawberries & bananas, broiled marshmallows, Rice Krispie treats |
Last night - ginger-soy marinated flank steak. Spaghetti squash made into a Thai noodle salad with homemade peanut sauce.
I see chicken breasts thawing in the fridge so apparently we're having some sort of chicken tonight. |
Last night's lazy dinner. Took some (home-prepared) carnitas from the freezer, chopped into little bits and sauteed with onions, added some (home-roasted) tomatoes, then poured a box of TJ's roasted tomato soup over this in the pot, heated and served with warm baguette. Good meal for a cold day.

Verdict: It was good but not mind-blowing. That said, it's an easy two dish meal that requires very little effort so might be good on a busy weekday. If I made it again I'd throw some kind of protein in it. Also, I found the tomatoes didn't burst automatically so I used the pastry dough blender which worked save for a burn from the juice of a bursting tomato.

how do you normally get your cherry tomatoes to burst? I can only do it when sautéing in olive oil and maybe a little tapping. You taught me the purple rice trick and I look forward to this new tip.

Corned beef is really good. Omg. It’s tender, just like the dogma.
best of all, my spouse had 2 slices and said that we don’t need to have it on rye tomorrow so I can avoid buying rye! I’m going to have a lot of leftovers. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...991d87665.jpeg |
My corned beef was done way earlier than expected . I didn't do cabbage because I have rye bread so will do sandwiches tomorrow .
https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ab2083ca1e.jpg yeah, I know I am a day early for the beer. If I am traveling on St. Pat's day, I bring along my food coloring . I have had green beer in Kenya and in Shanghai ....it is pretty funny to see the look on the local's faces. |

I'm trying to get back into low carb, so dinner tonight was a ribeye steak topped with arugula and shaved parm, with asparagus and half an avocado on the side.

I usually just put them in a sauce pan and heat them over medium heat (strong simmer) with a lid on until they break down. Has worked for me in the past, but may work better for some types of tomatoes.
