I personally admire your food choices and would never give you a disagree.
I can tell what your Swedish meatballs are in the photo, but, what is the long loaf looking thing that seems to be sliced. Telling us exactly what is on the plate would help a lot. Please don't be offended.

The first time I tried making my own char sui pork. I used pork loin where the butcher removed the fat cap in conjunction with the sous vide machine because I am nervous about drying out a lean cut of pork. Boiled down the liquid from the sous vide bag for a sauce. Served on a bed of sauteed spinach with grilled pineapple and grilled onion salad with mint on the side. Rice.

My guess is a hasselback sweet potato or yam.1 -

Starter of steamed artichokes with hollandaise. Main of pan seared cod on white beans in shellfish bisque garnished with parsley oil and gremolata. This was the first time I made shellfish stock and good to get rid of that big bag of prawn and lobster shells lurking in the freezer.

Copycat KFC using the Chicago Tribune recipe for the 11 herbs and spices and the air fryer. Copycat slaw but with celery instead of carrot. Mash and gravy. Non KFC items were air fried cornmeal coated okra, roast cherry tomatoes.

We’re having venison for Thanksgiving, but when I was grocery shopping on Friday my store had turkey for 29 cents a pound, so I absolutely bought two because turkey is delicious. My husband and I decided since it was so cheap and not saved for a holiday that we should experiment, and so we did a dry brine, dry rub, and smoked it on our grill. Best. Decision. EVER.7 -
A standard weekday dinner at our place. Starter of salad with feta and candied nuts. I always have a jar of candied nuts on hand, made during the weekend, for pimping up salads with salty cheese. Main of pan fried cod on a bed of tinned beans warmed up in seafood bisque and carrots and celery. Garnish of parsley oil and gremolata.

Next time spatchcock it like a chicken and then do your thing. It will cook much faster and not dry out as much.
Yup, way ahead of you! It didn’t really dry out at all, but we ARE going to spatchcock it next time; we didn’t do it this time as my husband was concerned about space on the grill but we agreed it would be worth a try this next time!0 -
Vegetable pie.

Basmati rice w sauce of black beans, tomato, EVOO, red pepper, black pepper, paprika, chopped onion and garlic, and a laurel leaf. This was really good.

Ok, @acpgee, you piqued my interest. All it took was a mention of kid's comfort food.
Erm, I changed a few things, as I'm liable to always do: used garlic and leeks, roasted the tomatoes first, used shiritaki instead of rice and then added furikake.
Next attempt: this needs MORE tomatoes (and perhaps tomato paste), along with some chili pepper flakes for heat.
But it was so good and the mouth feel was interesting seeing as I'm not usually a fan of scrambled egg. I can see why it's a beloved dish. Thanks for sharing it earlier today!
Back at it again for Attempt #2 (this time on toast for my breakfast)...
3 whole eggs
4 tomatoes roasted to the high heavens
2 cloves of local garlic
chili pepper flakes
sugar
The sugar (only 0.5 tsp) may have offset the salt?! It would have been bland if not for the heat of the chili pepper flakes.
Next attempt: go back to omitting sugar. Reduce to 2 eggs with 4 tomatoes (I think this may be the perfect ratio). Lay on a mound of seasoned black rice.

Hey!
Tried smelt for the first time. It was really good! Baked smelt w/almond flour, a side of tomato bisque dip and cilantro lingonberry vinaigrette. (The vinaigrette really made the crispy smelt pop.)

Caribbean seafood boil is a takeaway that generates more cleanup than most. There are 10 huge prawns and a couple of potatos leftover for lunch tomorrow.

The way my mom used to do this was to brown a large quantity of garlic, then stir in chopped fresh tomatoes (skin, seeds and all), a large pinch of sugar and soy to taste. Tomato would be cooked down for a while to a stew like consistency. Then she would turn down the temperature and stir in beaten eggs. Her version was essentially a sweet/sour/salty/garlicky tomato sauce thickened with egg to eat on noodles. Garnish with finely slivered green onions to add a fresh note.
Literally the first meal my single mom taught me to cook for myself at age 12 in case she didn't get home on time from work. Apparently popular with Chinese college students. I mean it is cheap, quick, balanced, and made with stuff people typically have in the store cupboard.1 -

😋 Mmmk, scratch that: stewing the tomatoes then tempering in the egg may be Attempt #3 then!
And thank you for your mom's insights. I love meals with few ingredients that still manage to taste deluxe. This is that!3 -
