    Cold starter of carrottes rapees with raisins and pantesca (sicilian salad normally made with tinned mackerel but I substituted lomo de bonito, a spanish salted cured tuna loin). Warm course of linguine carbonara and roast asparagus sprinkled with toasted walnuts.

    Dinner party at my place tomorrow night. I will demo my easiest ever 3 course Italian dinner party menu that involves 30 minutes of cooking time to friends who have to cook for family on holidays.
    Bagna cauda and crudites as a starter is 5 minutes cooking + washing and chopping some veg which can be done in advance.
    https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/bagna-cauda-2827
    Sauce for spaghetti carbonara takes under 10 minutes and can be made while the pasta is boiling.

    Leftover egg whites generated by carbonara are used to make dutch bitterkoekjes (identical to Italian amaretti except that there is no almond liqueur in the dough of the dutch version). These take 15 minutes to make from scratch including the 10 minutes of baking time. Served with shots of amaretto for dipping the almond macaroons into.

    It appears my current prefered method of cooking chicken is via poaching.

    I poached 3 chicken legs in water seasoned with ginger, garlic, a bit of salt, and makrut lime leaves. I also used the liquid it poached in to cook rice (that was a billion times better than last week). It all turned out very tasty and the poaching liquid tastes good as well.
    I'll use the chicken for at least one other recipe this week (tomorrow) as well.

    Tiny lamb chops, marinaded in garlic-rosemary-lemon, S&P before pan searing.
    Ate many many tiny chops...
    With:
    - leftover roasted Brussels (OO/S/P, bacon, shaved red onion) done till crispy, served on a pile of baby spinach.
    - Fake chimichurri sauce stuff as dressing/garnish (scraps and stems of green stuff - cilantro, Italian parsley, mint, dill- whizzed with shallot, salt, red wine vinegar)
    - Half of a giant yellow/gold sweet potato, double baked (baked in foil, let cool. Split it and roasted it.) So creamy!

    Half pound of shrimp, and steamed broccoli sauteed with butter plus onion and garlic seasoning + salt and paper. With about 1/2 tbsp of shredded colby on top to brown and melt...sooo good.

    Not a meal but a snack.

    I attempted to make granola bars and then remembered why a. I used to bake mine when I made last made them with any frequency and b. why things like various syrups are really useful when trying to bind something like granola. They started out as flat rectangles and then once they were chilled I realized that I would need to form them into tight cylinders if I wanted any chance of them staying together.
    Either way, they're 280ish calories each and have around 9 grams of protein. They'll be a useful mid afternoon "I didn't eat enough for lunch!" snack. They have, among other things, almond butter, hazelnuts, and cranberries in them.

    Next time I make these there will have to be some major textural changes if I want to keep the calories around the same

    Last night I made english muffin pizzas! I used the light whole grain muffins, split in half - one 1/2 of a muffin is 1 mini pizza. I topped each with 2 teaspoons of tomato sauce, garlic powder, chorizo, pineapple, mushrooms and mozz cheese, baked @ 350 for 12 minutes.

    My mom made them as a kid, and I am so happy a pinterest article sparked my memory. I enjoyed them so much!!

    I made homemade chicken noodle soup last night.

    I was planning on bringing leftovers in my lunch, but my fiance apparently decided that he needed the whole bowl to himself for lunch. It was one of those 7 cup rubbermaid containers and it was almost full. :#

    Last night's dinner: Broiled lemon pepper fresh cod with pasta-veggie salad. Back from various travels, beginning summer regimen of "grilled stuff plus salads," but rain chased us inside and "grill" became "broil."

    I made a batch of dutch bitterballen for the freezer that can be finished in the air fryer. These are a bar snack similar to croquettes but made of congealed beef stew that are liquid when you bite into a hot one. Normally they are rolled into balls but I saw a David Chang cooking show where he made something similar but cut into cubes from a tray of congealed hollandaise sauce. Had to try that with bitterballen and they looked super cute and were easier to coat in flour, egg and breadcrumbs too.

    I have some cabbage that needs to get used up so I made vegetarian okonomiyaki. In addition to the cabbage, there was also a carrot, three cloves of local garlic, and the green part of one also local and fairly young walla walla onion. Part of today's farmers market haul.

    Dessert will be a slice of earl grey swiss roll - also from farmers market.

    Main of spaghetti carbonara takes 10 minutes to make while the pasta is boiling. I used duck prosciutto instead of bacon as one of the guests doesn't eat pork.

    Dessert was dutch bitterkoekjes (similar to Italian amaretti biscuits but no liqueur in the batter) dipped into Amaretto. They take 15 minutes to make including 10 minutes in the oven. They use up the leftover egg whites generated by the cabonara
