Free Dinner
I had leftover linguini. And garlic. And parmesan cheese. And anchovies. And scallions. So, for no cost, I made this.
Bi-Linguinal
…Success at last! This time the flavors and texture were perfect, with the al dente pasta soaking up the layered flavors of the savory, herbal olive oil, creamy butter, sharp, salty anchovy, and sweet scallions. Once sliced into, the warm, “oozy” egg yolk, made a perfect sauce to pull all of the elements of the dish together…. [cont.]
Fire By The Sea
…Trixie was a big fan of both dishes, as was I, and noted, as I did, that the layers of flavors, one first bite of each, kind of hit the tongue one by one, eventually, though, creating a “circus” of flavors that made each bite more enjoyable than the last…. [cont.]
Quick Post | Frankly, My Dear….
…Not as rich, thick, or even sweet as traditional baked beans, these had as many tastes, if more subtle, and because of the shorter cooking time, the beans kept much of their firm texture while still being able to absorb much of the garlic’s flavor, as well as the hints of mustard and tarragon. A nice, hot, stick-to-your-ribs dish—without being heavy—and a nice compliment to an otherwise cold, rainy winter afternoon…. [cont.
Egg-a Omega
…I sautéed i few smelt fillets in some rendered bacon fat in a cast iron skillet, meanwhile frying to egg yolks sunny-side-up. I then placed the eggs on top of the chili pepper paste, then placed the smelt decoratively on top of them, trying to not visually obstruct the eggs…. [cont.]
Bratty Behavior
…I then peeled, cored and sliced the Granny Smith into skinny, long sticks and threw them into the pot to stir as well, followed by the andouille sausage, which I sliced into “coins” so that they would impart more of the seasoned “fat” flavors…. [cont.]
End of a Sick Week
…Today was the first day I got to do any real PHUDE-ing, making myself some small meals for breakfast and lunch and ordering delivrry for dinner. Since I’m still medicated, I won’t go into too much detail. Here’s what I had to eat today:… [cont.]
A Self-Serving Meal
…I then threw the sausage back in and deglazed the bottom of the pan with 3/4 cup of balsamic vinegar, then poured in 3 cups of chicken broth. I tossed in some chopped tomatoes, chopped scallions, and some basil, tarragon, and rosemary, first bringing the liquid to a boil, then reducing the heat to a medium low…. [cont.
Leftovers for Breakfast
I whisked some eggs with chopped scallions and pimento, poured them into a buttered pan, stuffed the omelet with leftover tuna salad from last night’s dinner, and served it with the one last potato I had, which I cut into big dices and sautéed in a skillet with butter, garlic, celery salt and fresh cracked pepper… [cont.]
Big Tuna
…I started with canned tuna—“solid, in water”—to which I added some fresh cracked pepper, celery salt, the juice of half a lemon, and a teaspoon each of balsamic vinegar and spicy brown mustard…. [cont.]
Bowl Me Over
…I made a broth from first boiling the scallion, green parts of the lettuce, and mushroom stalks—which are firmer are more fibrous than the caps—in a pot of salted water, then slow cooking them over medium heat with the pot mostly covered with a lid, letting some steam release to concentrate the broth….

Quick Post | Chicken, Go!
The convenience of their quick, hot delivery, and reasonably low prices only adds to their appeal. Their missteps exists on some of their other dishes (such as the fried fish combos) and on their “sides” (cheese fries, good; macaroni salad, okay; spanish rice, pass)!… [cont.]
Quick Post | Morning Glory
…So I stirred some ginger, nutmeg, and cinnamon into some pancake batter, then strained the raspberries, and lightly puréed them with some honey and lemon juice, to use a drizzle…. [cont.]
Quick Post | A Brief Break from ‘Za
…So I defrosted so chicken wings, seasoned them with sat and pepper, dredged them in flour that I seasoned with ground ginger and chili powder, fried them and tossed them in a sauce made with sriracha sauce, honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and lemon juice…. [cont.]
Quick Post | Friday Night Fish
…I marinated two tilapia filets in the sauce, then broiled them in the over, brushing on extra sauce every 5 minutes or so, and plated them with some rice I prepped with some turmeric, yellow mustard, and lime juice, and some lima beans in butter and tarragon leaves…. [cont.]
Quick Post | Rib Tickling
…but I did make it worth my while by parboiling the ribs in orange soda (?!) and finishing them in the oven with a glaze of chili sauce, orange peel, crushed garlic and honey!… [cont.]
Quick Post | First Meal of the New Year…
…Lucky enough, I made enough to enjoy for the whole day, since I don’t see myself leaving my apartment—or my bed—for the next 24 hours… [cont.]
