    My next cook is a dinner party Saturday. I only cook on weekends and for guests. Doing an incredibly effortless Italian dinner.

    Bagna cauda as a starter.
    https://www.saveur.com/article/recipes/marcella-hazans-bagna-cauda-anchovy-and-garlic-dip

    Linguine carbonara as the main.
    https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/wordofmouth/2012/may/10/how-to-cook-perfect-spaghetti-carbonara

    Because carbonara generates unused eggwhites, bitterkoekjes, or dutch almond macaroons dipped in amaretto for dessert.

    SO good - who'd have thought cauliflower could be so delish? :p

    Thursday (21st): what I call "Casablanca Chicken," served with a side salad. It is a tagine-like cousous chicken dish cooked in my old-school, jiggle-top pressure cooker. Doesn't look like much, but tastes up a storm. Those with sharp eyes will see dark inclusions in the entree - those are prunes. Yep. And they're good to offset the spice mix (some variants of this dish use raisins).

    Tonight is roasted squash soup (batch cooked this weekend), with wild-caught salmon (broiled, served atop soup), roasted turnip cubes, shaved fennel, arugula, sprinkle of faux Dukkah (my hacked recipe) and preserved lemon coulis.
    Colors. All the colors!

    Amending.
    Same soup, but with crisped broccoli & squash cubes, salmon, shaved fennel, mint and Italian parsley.

    I roasted a chicken today with a pot of arroz con habichuelas. We had guests so it was easy and plentiful. I measured mine out ahead of time.

    Roasted chicken and broccoli.

    To be more specific, I spatchcocked a chicken and then dry brined a chicken. After I took the chicken out of the fridge, I made a paste out of 8+ garlic cloves, 1 habanero (from the garden but frozen), 3 tbsp of olive oil, and half of a preserved lemon. Most of that got rubbed most of it under the skin of the chicken and the rest of it was rubbed on top. That then marinated for 2 hours before it went in the oven. I basted it with butter a few times.

    The broccoli went in the oven while the chicken was resting.

    Last thing I cooked was an "eggroll in a bowl" prep for lunches for the week. Right before that I whipped up a cookies and cream cheese cake, which is currently cooling in the oven. c: Can't wait to try both tomorrow!

    Channa masala using a recipe from Serious Eats. I halved the recipe because a. I didn't feel like cooking dried chickpeas (even in the instant pot) and b. I thought we already had a can so I only picked up one 15oz can of chickpeas - it calls for two.

    I'm eating it with a fresh pita from the Lebanese store I live near (they bake them to order).

    (Tuesday 26th): slowcooker Italian Garden Veg Stew with diced chicken breast and tortellini. Counting red and green peppers as "1" and including the white beans, there are 8 different veggies in this recipe. Haven't toted up the macros yet, but this should be fairly moderate. I got a little ambitious with the veggies, could hardly fit anything more in the crockpot.

    Pics:
    1. Served. Garnish with grated parm, basil and oregano.
    2. In slowcooker.

    It's my turn to cook on Sunday. We still have a lot of leftover crudites ingredients from the dinner party last Saturay when I made bagna cauda as a starter (https://www.saveur.com/article/recipes/marcella-hazans-bagna-cauda-anchovy-and-garlic-dip). Managed to use up some of the leftover veg last night doing Nam Prik Ong (https://importfood.com/recipes/recipe/201-spicy-pork-and-tomato-dip-with-veggies-nam-prik-ong). So Sunday will try to use up the last of the veg with the another classic dish of crudites with dipping sauce, grande alioli (https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/grand-aioli). These dishes of raw veg dipped into fatty sauce are a good way to have low carb meals where I never miss the starch.

    Made an italian meatball and pasta bake with olives, mushrooms, onions, and fire roasted tomatoes with low-carb marinara. I allowed for larger servings, so the calorie content is pretty heavy, but it was quite satisfying! IIFYM...

    Tonight is a deep dish taco pie with loads of tomato, avocado, onion, etc!
