Monday/30-Sep-19: Dinner was a half dose of Cauliflower, Cashew, Pea, and Coconut Curry (MadeIndia, p65; cookbooker). Good stuff. Served with basmati rice. Some ice cream for dessert.
Tuesday/1-Oct-19: So, I roasted up my impulse-bought spaghetti squash today, to make "spaghetti" to go with the leftover tomato sauce from Sunday. Spaghetti, no. Short little pieces somewhat. Was okay with the tomato sauce. Then a big salad with blue cheese and walnuts and tomatoes. Some chocolate-covered madeleines for after.
Wednesday/2-Oct-19: Dinner was a halfish recipe of Hunan Beef with Cumin (web). Did not seed the red chiles. Used the lower end of the dried chili flakes. It was hot but yummy. As a side there was a halfish recipe of Spicy Hunan Cauliflower (web). Again, hot but good; the little sweet from the maple syrup was a nice touch to go with the red bell peppers. And some plain basmati rice. Mini ice cream cups for after. We're full.
Thursday/3-Oct-19: Shopping today.
Dinner was Fish Fillets Romertopf (MC/brochure), with lieu noir. Used smoked paprika in the topping, which was probably a bit of a "loud" taste for the fish. The fish was a bit dry, maybe because it was too long in the oven. Served with Clotilde Dusoulier's Perfect Roast Potatoes (web), using up the amandines I had, and broccoli and carrots. Some chocolate-covered cornflakes for dessert.
Yogurt on overnight.
Friday/4-Oct-19: In the morning, I made up a half recipe of Anglo-Indian Sausage Patties (MJ@Home, p132; cookbooker) in preparation for tomorrow night's dinner.
Both of us are feeling a bit tummy-bad today, but dinner went down well. We had Tagliolini with Walnuts and Lemon (web), an Ottolenghi recipe that was really tasty. Then a big salad. No dessert needed.
Saturday/5-Oct-19: Still not feeling good innard-wise. Really didn't feel like eating or making what was on the plan. Instead we had Smooth Roasted Eggplant and Tomato Tart (VegSups, p12), which was good, although I couldn't eat it all. Then a simple salad. No dessert.
Sunday/6-Oct-19: Feeling a bit better today, but not very hungry. Dinner was Anglo-Indian Sausage Curry (MJ@Home, p133; cookbooker), which was yummy. As suggested, served with Corn with Aromatic Seasonings (MJ@Home, p151; cookbooker). And some plain basmati rice. A mini ice cream cup for me and a mini bar for Ed.
Yogurt on overnight.

This week in the kitchen
Monday/23-Sep-19: Dinner was Stir-Fried Lemon Chicken (web). This was okay. Served over brown rice. A simple salad afterwards, made from the rest of the sucrines (baby romaines) that I had. Some chocolate-covered corn flakes for after.
Yogurt on overnight.
Tuesday/24-Sep-19: Spent a good part of the day cleaning up mouse poop in the Ivars. Haven't figured out what it's found to eating, especially since most stuff on the open shelves is in glass, plastic, or metal now. Cleaned all but the top two shelves all the way across.
This morning I fried up strips of tortillas leftover from the other night and made something sort of like migas, with scrambled eggs and a fresh tomato salsa. An Indian egg curry was on the plan for tonight's dinner, so I changed. Instead we had Chicken Broccoli Skillet (web) served over tagliatelle. Instead of skinless, boneless chicken thighs, I used turkey oysters (sot-l'y-laisse en français). We ate most of what would probably be three servings, rather than 4-6. Using the larger amount of broccoli is probably better. Chocolate-covered corn flakes for after.
Wednesday/25-Sep-19: Lunch out today with Andy and Sue. Nothing further happened in the kitchen.
Thursday/26-Sep-19: Dinner was Dierdre’s Egg Curry, recipe I got from an EAT-L friend. Unfortunately I didn’t follow the directions very well, but it was still good. Over basmati rice. Meant to make one of Madhur Jaffrey’s carrot saladsm as a go-with, got out the book, and lost the thread. That’s ok. We’re full.
Friday/27-Sep-19: Shopping today.
Dinner was Salmon with Sweet Pea Cream (CL/apr07; web). I just see that I forgot to add the cream to the sweet pea cream. I didn't think it mattered, Ed thought it would have been better. I didn't sieve the pea cream, but buzzed till it was really smooth. I think the peas would have been better with seared scallops, which would better match the sweetness. Or not. Served with pasta. We had some store-bought chocolate mousses for after.
Guess I'm going to skip another month of my cookbook of the month. Barely interested in cooking these days. Feeling really trapped in the Neighbor-from-Hell situation. No way we could sell this house now. No way we could afford anything similar. No resolution in sight, only legal action that will take a lot of time and achieve nothing really. Sigh.
Yogurt on overnight.
Saturday/28-Sep-19: In the morning I used some old bananas to make a loaf of Buttermilk Banana Bread (web). I cut the sugar back to 1cup and used walnuts instead of pecans. Yum.
Dinner was Almond-Crusted Chicken Breasts (MC), a old favorite I haven't made in a long time. Served with multi-colored carrots and some trio rice. Then some ice cream. Then some more banana bread.
Sunday/29-Sep-19: Cantique had a concert today so we were home late for our meal.
I had ten dates left from something, so made a half recipe of Alton Brown's Blue Cheese Bacon Devils on Horseback (web). These were okay, but don't need to do them again.
For our meal we had linguine with Marcella Hazan's (famous) Tomato Sauce with Onion and Butter (ClassicItal, p152). Used a can of tomatoes, supposedly deseeded. Have a bit of sauce left to use for something else soon. Then there was Cold Beetroot with Cream (Pomiane, p180), which is an old favorite.

This week in the kitchen
Monday/16-Sep-19: Dinner was West Indies Salmon Cake (web), using up two of my three cans of salmon. (Why don't they have canned salmon in France?) These were yummy. I made four patties from the whole recipe and froze two for another meal. Then some Caribbean Rice and Beans, loosely following this recipe. I used half a can of borlotti beans and froze the rest. No coconut milk, but chicken stock from a cube. Pretty good, though. Served with Carrot-and-Ginger Quickie Pickle and some of the haberno sauce that I made a while ago. Some ice cream for dessert.
Tuesday/17-Sep-19: Shopping today. Early because it's an odd week.
Dinner was Papillote de Cabillaud au Curry (VPG; web), with lieu noir instead of cod. (The web version is titled Papillote de Cabillaud au Curry et au Citron. I see that the web version calls for fennel seeds, rather than anise seeds; this would probably be better.) This was okay, but nothing special. Served with Lemon-Roasted Potatoes with Bay Leaves (VegHarv, p231), that I made last week and is going to be a favorite. And Zucchini La Ponche (VegHarv, p217), also excellent. I’ve looked at this recipe a couple of times and then switched to the Zucchini Carpaccio recipe on p214. There was just enough balsamic vinegar to make it tasty without being overwhelming. Now I've got two raw zucchini recipes. Some store-bought custards for dessert. We ate well.
Yogurt on overnight.
Wednesday/18-Sep-19: Dinner out for Cath, with Rosemary and Phillipe.
Thursday/19-Sep-19: Last dinner with Cath tonight. We had Chicken Diane (MC), an old favorite I haven't made in a while. Served with short-grain brown rice and some steamed broccoli and cauliflower. Then some St Felicien. Then some small slices of Lemon-Blueberry Cake from the tea shop in Montemboeuf. We're full.
Friday/20-Sep-19: Cath left for Carlisle today, a good friend moving away permanently.
Dinner was Shrimp and Zucchini Orzo (web). It called for sambal, which I thought I’d get at Grand Frais this week, but Grand Frais has changed their selection so they no longer carry a lot of my staples. Like sambal. Instead of that, I used my (not-so-)Fiery Haberno Sauce, which was tasty. For afters, we finished the St Felicien.
Yogurt on overnight.
Saturday/21-Sep-19: For our starter we had Salmon-Dill Salad with Pasta (BeardPasta, p191; cookbooker), sort of. For two, I used 3oz of pasta (mini-shells), with 90g of smoked salmon bits (from the freezer), 2tbl each of mayo and yogurt, and some chopped dill. Served with some leaves of sucrine (mini romaines). For our main, there was some magret tournedos that I bought at a marché des producteurs this summer. Those served with a pan sauce of marsala and black cherry jam. Served with some little boiled potatoes and some haricots verts with shiitakes and shalllots. We were full.
Soaked hominy overnight.
Sunday/22-Sep-19: Cooked up hominy using chicken stock for the liquid.
Dinner was Pernil de Chancho a la Chilena—Braised Fresh Ham with Chili Sauce (TLLatin, p58). I had 1.25kg rouelle, so made about a two-thirds recipe of the meat, but all of the sauce. The chiles we get here are pretty wimpy, so I didn't deseed them. The sauce was simple, but quite tasty. Served with hominy.
Meant to make an avocado-tomato salad, but the avocados I bought this week were already bad, so I just chopped some tomatoes from the potager with cilantro and served over lettuce. Some mini ice creams for dessert.

This week in the kitchen
Monday/9-Sep-19: A busy day today, and another trip to the gendarmerie.
Dinner was a half recipe, more or less, of Frittata with Tomato, Onion, and Basil (ClassItal, p281). Took a bit of time, but was tasty. Then a salad. Then some ice cream, a bar for Ed, a cup for me.
Tuesday/10-Sep-19: Using up the freezer inventory, we had half recipe of Chicken Baked in Yogurt with Red Onion and Grape Leaves (O&C, p412), using a spatchcocked pintade. Served with Bulgur Pilaf (O&C, p231), using chicken stock for the liquid, and Roasted Sweet Pepper Salad (O&C, p39), which was pretty good. Would be nice as part of an assortment of salads. Chocolate-covered madeleines for after.
Wednesday/11-Sep-19: Dinner was, more or less, Sausage & Broccoli Orecchiette (web). Homemade sausage from the freezer. Can't say I really followed this badly written recipe. Used about half an onion. Used mafalda instead of orecchiette, which I don't much like. Partly cooked the broccoli in the pasta water before adding it to the sausage-onion-garlic mixture. No demi glacé; used my chicken stock which is pretty condensed. Very tasty. Squares of chocolate for after.
Thursday/12-Sep-19: Shopping today, and, oops, tuna was on sale, so I tossed the plan and bought some of that.
Dinner was, then, Charmoula-Marinated Grilled Tuna (MedHot, p48), accompanied by Lemon-Roasted Potatoes with Bay Leaves (VegHarv, p231; cookbooker). Also had a zucchini salad, vaguely crossing the Wells' recipe for Zucchini Carpaccio with Avocado, Lemon Thyme, and Pistachio (VegHarv, p214) and a recipe for Zucchini Ribbons with Lemon and Pecorino (CL/may14, web), that turned out well. Then a bit of Petit Basque cheese. And some chocolate-covered madeleines for after.
Yogurt on overnight.
Friday/13-Sep-19: Clearing out the freezer again today. I finished cooking the Spice-Crusted Pork Tenderloin left from Patrice&Wim's visit. Served with some smashed sweet potatoes and a sauté of broccoli, mushroom, and oven-dried tomatoes. Then some Double Boiler Bread Pudding (MC, HandyBook)
Saturday/14-Sep-19: Dinner was a halfish recipe of Greek Tortellini Salad with Avocados and Cucumbers (web). This was okay, but pretty boring. I see the same site has a similar recipe that includes tomatoes, red bell pepper, black olives, and red onion. That's probably much better. Then we finished the bread pudding. We're full.
Sunday/15-Sep-19: Lunch out today. No more food needed.
In anticipation of tomorrow's dinner, I made some Carrot-and-Ginger Quickie Pickle (Scraps, p82).

This week in the kitchen
Monday/2-Sep-19: Simple dinner. Tongue in Madeira Sauce from a can. Over tagliatelle. With some steamed broccoli. And a little grated carrot salad. We were interrupted by visits from Vanessa. Sigh. Buddy escaped in the course of this. He went to visit his friend Filou at the Boulesteix's. I met Mme on the road bringing him back. Madeleines for after.
Tuesday/3-Sep-19: I had lunch out today. Ed had dinner from the freezer. For afters we finished the chaource, then had a couple of chocolate-covered cornflake things.
Yogurt on overnight.
Wednesday/4-Sep-19: Dinner from the freezer. Used some pork sauté and some ancho sauce to make a little stewy thing. Served over brown rice, with a salad of avocado, tomato, and cilantro. Chocolate-covered madeleines for dessert.
Thursday/5-Sep-19: Shopping today.
Dinner was Salmon with Spicy Cucumber Salad and Peanuts (CL/aug08, web; cookbooker). This was good. Then a big salad. Some chocolate-covered cornflakes for after.
Friday/6-Sep-19: Off to see Shakespeare this evening. Stopped for some charcuterie for dinner.
Yogurt on overnight.
Saturday/7-Sep-19: For as starter, I sliced up some tomatoes from the potager, with some out-of-date, but still tasty, mozzarella and some basil leaves. Then there was Chick Pea and Artichoke Heart Stew (MW@Home, p204; cookbooker). This was pretty good. Some squares of chocolate for after, mine with hazelnuts, Ed's with almonds.
Sunday/8-Sep-19: Dinner was a halfish recipe of Sun Dried Tomato and Mushroom Pasta in a Garlic and Basil Sauce (web; cookbooker). This recipe does not serve four, but it is delicious. Then a salad. Then 2-1/2 cookies each from a package of five.
