    More simple stuff following Thanksgiving. Baked paprika/lemon pepper chicken breast, roast savory frozen butternut squash dices, steamed frozen mixed vegetables. MFP estimates this plate at about 569cal, 44g protein, 24g fat, 42g carb (5g fiber, 11g sugar).

    Friday night dinner out. I had seafood pasta with tomato and parsley and hubby had the prosciutto and mushroom white pizza. We shared the roast vegtable starter which turned out to be mostly cheese and bread.

    Papardelle aglio olio and tagliata di manzo served together instead of as separate courses. We needed to use up the other half of the steak we didn't eat on Thursday.

    Air fryer everything. Roast potato (parboiled for 3 minutes then tossed in duck fat prior to going in the air fryer), roast courgette tossed in olive oil, wings sprinkled with corn starch. A Vietnamese caramel fish sauce for dipping the wings in, and some ranch for dipping the potatoes.

    I got home from work at 19:40 and dinner took 30 minutes to put together.
    I pulled out a lamb shank from the freezer last night that had been cooked sous vide a couple of weekends ago. It needed 10 minutes in the air fryer to brown. I did some roast squash and daikon cubes in the air fryer, which takes also about 10 minutes after tossing with olive oil. The roast veg can go under the lamb shanks. I found some mystery gravy in the freezer that was based on beef, I think. Sweet potato mash takes about 10 minutes. I microwave the sweet potatoes unpeeled for about 5 minutes. Afterwards they get cut in half and pressed cut side down through a potato ricer. I do need to scrape out spent peel with a fork after each half. Mash can be mixed with butter and milk and warmed up in the microwaved for a minute or two when everything else is ready.
    In between the microwaving and air frying I threw together some waldorf type salad with celery, apple, capers, and dried cranberry and candied pumpkin seeds we had in the pantry. I used ranch dressing we had in the fridge.

    It was a work from home day and I used tacos as a means of using up leftovers in the fridge. Three were made with leftover chilli con carne from last week and three with leftover lamb shank from last night. We had some celery leaf, pickled onion, leftover beef gravy and aji verde lying around. I made copycat Chipotle fajita vegetables--the only thing I made fresh tonight. We had a little salad of baby gems, chopped tomato, and toasted tinned corn dressed with ranch on the side.

    Christmas lunch at the canteen at work was surprisingly good. The turkey was moist, which is something I find tricky to achieve.

    We had leftover fajita vegetables from last night so we used them in a couple of mini quesadillas as a starter. Main of pan fried sea bream, roast potatoes and stir fried celery. Fish was served with a little ranch because I forgot to get a lemon.

    I finished work early today because I delivered a project prior to the deadline. Still cooked very simply. We still had some leftover veg from the last couple of days, so they went onto a taco with a little store bought pickled onion and capers, store bought refried beans, kewpie mayo and green sriracha. I had some homemade corn tortillas from a few weeks ago stashed in the freezer. Main was some pork ravioli made from gyoza wrappers that were also in the freezer. We had that in some butter mixed store bought pesto and parmesan. A veggie side of air fryer roast courgette and butternut squash.

    My batch cooking buddy came over and we tripled a recipe for Korean dak dori tang for filling up our freezers. While the chicken stew was simmering we did some quick Korean banshan of spinach and beansprouts which are easy because they are blanched in the salad strainer, strained, dressed with garlic, salt and sesame, and served room temperature. Dessert was Chinese 8 jewel rice pudding, which I wanted to make for Christmas, because it is kind of a cross between rice pudding and Christmas cake. Tonight was an experiment with nut free free version because I have a guest with a nut allergy at Christmas. Good thing I tried it out beforehand because I discovered the jar Chinese sesame paste I used contains peanuts. Wouldn't have wanted to kill someone with Christmas dinner.

    Got home at a reasonable time today, but still did the 10 minute dinner I had already planned. Sausage ragu was pulled out of the freezer last night and warmed up. Pumpkin gnocchi was pulled freezer today, and cooked for 3 minutes from frozen. Sauteed spinaach spinach was made from scratch tonight.

    Dinner was made during the the 40 minute setting of the rice cooker. Cheat's Singapore chicken rice made in the rice cooker with basmati rice, store bought chicken stock and a few drumsticks placed on top and steamed for 40 minutes. In the meantime I made sauteed spinach, cucumber salad and took out some leftover daikon salad from last night. We already had some of the ginger pesto that is the classic accompaniment to chicken rice in the fridge. Store bought condiments were Indonesian ketjap and sambal brandal.

    Roast chicken thighs with cauliflower and a heap of fresh herbs. 🌿

    Experimented with a blend of rosemary, lavender, thyme, sage, tarragon, marjoram and chervil - tasty!

    Friday night we mostly eat out because the hubby thinks it makes the weekend feel longer. We went to Long Chim, a new restaurant by David Thompson, author of my Thai cookbook. I think "Thai Food" is still considered the authoritative English language Thai cookbook
