    I spent the evening batch cooking with my cooking buddy. We made a triple quantity of Thomasina Miers' chilli con carne recipe published in the Guardian newspaper. One pot was the kid friendly version containing no chilli peppers. We had some for dinner (the adult version is sprinkled with coriander) with Turkish watermelon salad, brown rice and aji verde followed by creme brulee cooked in the microwave. Katy took home four boxes of chilli con carne and we have three nights worth in the freezer. This will help on school nights.

    Hey @kylemarakovits239 - welcome. What's for dinner?

    @acpgee - chili and all looks great. Will try with coriander next batch.

    Takeout enchiladas and carne asada street tacos tonight, with leftovers for tomorrow.

    Hello, all usual commenters. I'm just back from a weeklong trip, and I've been able to advance to page 1207 with visible responses, have seen some comments about a possible pending fix. Looking forward to rejoining the discussions.

    The dinner I was planning for Thursday when I came down with a cold. Build your own tacos to use up leftover duck confit and aji verde. Added copy cat Chipotle fajitas vegetables, chopped coriander and a little tomato salsa. We had pickled watermelon and nam jim jaew sauce in the fridge. Served with green sriracha not on the shot.

    I feel over my cold but am still coughing so worked from home. Had time to cook, but made a dinner that took 20 minutes to get on the table.

    Tossed salad (from a bag) with torn cilantro, shred cheese & ranch. Stuffed soup - freshened up rest of the chicken peppered ginger & curry soup with broccoli florets, cilantro, quinoa and egg stirred in at end.

    I got home from the new demanding job at 19:50 and got dinner on the table in 30 minutes. I did need to have the copycat KFC coating mixture from the Chicago Tribune recipe ready made in the pantry and some ranch dressing in the fridge for the copycat KFC coleslaw in order to make this meal in so little time. The chicken needs 20-25 minutes in the air fryer after coating with buttermilk and then the KFC spice mix. The frozen chips need about 12 minutes and can go on top of the chicken after starting that in the air fryer. In the meantime you can make the salads.

    I don't feel sick anymore but am still coughing occasionally in a hysterical fashion due to a lingering sinus infection causing post nasal drip. It felt a little anti social when I was in the office yesterday so I worked from home today, meaning I had time to cook a proper dinner.
    Linguine aglio olio can be put together in the 10 minutes it takes to boil pasta. We had a medium rare roast beef defrosted from the freezer, so it only took a few minutes to put together tagliata di manzo. Hubby did all the cheese grating and shaving. Salad dressing was just olive oil and balsamic and a twist of the salt grinder. I needed to brown the sous vide beef in a cast iron pan before slicing thin.
    Incidentally, Silverside (=bottom round in the US) is one of my least favourite cuts that the hubby bought accidentally in large quantity. Cooking for a 2 hours sous vide really rescues this usually leathery roast.

    I went into the office and got home late. It was hubby's dinner as he had batch cooked the meatballs and tomato sauce that were in the freezer. For veg we had leftover coleslaw and some frozen peas and edamame sauteed with butter and garlic.
