    •buckwheat soba
    •koikuchi shoyu dipping sauce

    This is one of my FAVORITE foods. I don’t eat it often but it’s always a joy when I do get to have it

    Grilled pork chop, Palmini linguine w/pesto and a sprinkle of grated parm, salad of romaine, tomato, olives, provolone & Caesar dressing.

    This was my first time trying the Palmini linguine (made of hearts of palm). The packages suggests rinsing and eating as is or boiling for 8 minutes or so to soften. I rinsed but warmed it in a pan with the pesto. It was al dente but it has a weird acidic flavor that I didn't care for so I won't be buying it again. On the plus side at 20 calories for a 4oz portion it is a nice balance with the highly caloric pesto. Tomorrow I'll try boiling it to see if that gets rid of the acidity.

    For Thai I used David Thompson. Google him for his credentials as an Aussie chef who had a Michelin starred Thai restaurant in Bangkok). I like his first cookbook "thai food" the best. Recently got his newer "Thai Street Food" for my birthday and that's where the picture is from. However the second book is a massive, cumbersome coffee table book with lots of photos and a whopping 34cm x 27cm x 4.5cm, so it doesn't fit on the shelf I keep other cookbooks on. The recipe for Pad Thai is in both, and the same, except that the newer version gives quantities for 2 servings instead of 1 and measurements got more accurate (weights instead of handfuls).

    My great-aunt’s chicken casserole recipe from the back of a chip bag in the 60’s. Even with a few clever calorie-saving tricks by yours truly, a big huge portion is about 640 calories, so you can imagine how delicious the “fully authentic” version is ;)

    Glad you are enjoying your aunts recipe.This looks a bit like a casserole my mom used to make with Fritos in it. I'd hate to guess the calorie hit of that one.

    I think my mom said my great-aunt got hers from the back of a Doritos bag lol! I don’t make it often but sometimes it’s just the comfort food you need <3

    That Cambodian dish looks amazing!!! The David Thompson book is now on my wish list as well 😊
    Today was left over Strata, edamame, and cuc salad. Dinner was a sweet potato crusted ricotta and farro ‘sausage pizza’ (it is nothing like pizza, but it is tasty) with Jammie eggs, veggies and guacamole. The winner however was a variation on Well Plated by Erin’s Carrot-Apple muffin. It. Was. SO. Good!!!

    Thai Pumpkin Curry soup with a "garnish" that is something like a gremolata using coconut milk, lime juice, cilantro, green onion, salt and toasted sesame oil. The garnish was so delicious I put it on the poached flounder. Also a mix of black and brown rice cooked in the leftover coconut milk and water to make up the difference and an avocado/grapefruit salad w/ponzu sauce.

    Classic caesar because we had some leftover amchovy/garlic dressing from Alistair Little's recipe for Nicoise last weekend. Pan fried sea bass on a bed of tinned white haricot warmed up with frozen broad beans and leftover Carribean seafood boil sauce from a takeaway that we had in the freezer. Hack's gremolata of chopped parsley mixed with some vinaigrette. Garnish of parsley oil. We make herb oils whenever soft herbs such as parsley, mint, coriander or basil are on the verge of spoiling.
