    I don't know what to call this, except a good-tasting, unplanned dinner using assorted pantry items.

    One-pot pasta rainbow. Looks tasty!

    I"ll buy that name, thanks! And it was ... it has a little kick to it, as I used some red pepper flakes.

    The last dish was a grilled pork chop with an amazing sherry sauce that had a faint taste of caramel. On the side was a cheesy cauliflower puree which for my taste was overseasoned. Topped with surprisingly tender, yet not overcooked brussel sprouts. Have no idea how they managed to cook those.

    Leftover management: pork tenderloin with Italian salsa verde, Mediterranean salad, a whackload of zucchini, and a sidecar of pineapple

    Thanks for the suggestions on dicing though the majority of my trouble on Saturday was not mechanical, but multitasking. I think I had 10 dishes in some phase of prep, more or less simultaneously. (but I've got a lot less to worry about tomorrow and Tuesday)

    all of your posts so far look so good!

    Tapas dinner again. Spanish tortilla made with a medium onion, a large baking potato and three eggs. Salad of peeled roast paprika, roast cherry tomato, capers and pepitas. Another weird salad from the Washington Post with celery, white beans, roast mushrooms, feta and mint. Some charcuterie we had lying around the fridge.

    @janicemlove - What did you top your meat with? The whole meal looks

    @Veta2018 and @acpgee
    I just did cilantro and Greek yogurt this time but Peruvian aji sauce is really good too! Definitely going in the rotation.

    My Japanese dinner party has been postponed until the first week in March, so I am still practicing. Discovered tonight that switching around courses to have the handrolls first, followed by udon+kakiage is much nicer. Kakiage was oilier and less crispy than last attempt but am not sure why. Last time I formed them on a pasta server which let batter drip out better than the flat spatula I used this time. Also batter was maybe thinner. Also discovered that it is still easy to overcook tataki even with a blowtorch. The addition of air fried salmon skins (a waste product from the tataki) was a good crispy addition to the hand roll offerings.
