Monday/13-May-19: Leftovers for dinner, the broccoli and sausage phyllo pie, preceded by the artichokes with faux aïoli. All good, even the second time. Then some prize-winning Langres that was on sale last week.
Tuesday/14-May-19: For dinner there was a half dose of Chicken, Leek, & Preserved Lemon Pasta (web) which was pretty good. A half recipe, which should have served three or more, was good for the two of us. I used some whole wheat fusilli-like pasta and only about 250g for skinless, boneless chicken thighs. The thighs should be cut into largish chunks, rather than left whole. Very tasty, though. Then a salad, then some ice cream for dessert.
Wednesday/15-May-19: Dinner was a half recipe of Warm Roasted Cauliflower and Chickpea Salad (web). This would not have serve three, as advertised in my printed copy, but I see that the site has been updated to indicated only four as a main for the whole recipe. Really a nice main-dish salad and would be a good picnic side dish. Easy to make. I roasted all the cauliflower for another meal later in the week. Then some chocolate covered corn flake doodads.
Thursday/16-May-19: Shopping today.
Dinner was Pâtes au Thon, Basilic et Piment (VPG; recipe). It's a shame I can't find this on the web, since it was quite a good and somewhat unusual recipe. Then a salad. Then some wonderful store-bought cheesecake.
Friday/17-May-19: Eggplant-Cheese with Spanish Sausage (CPC, p163; cookbooker). This was good enough, but nothing I need to make again. A bit of grated broccoli-stem salad as a go-with. Then some strawberries and crème fraîche.
Saturday/18-May-19: My second clay cookery book arrived today. I found this one highly recommended on some römertopf-y sites. Quick look through resulted in many tagged recipes.
Dinner was Spicy Roasted Cauliflower with Cheese Sauce (web). My already roasted cauliflower bits weighed in at about 6oz, so I thought I didn't have enough. But I made all the sauce, and cooked about 4oz of whole wheat macaroni. Mixed all together for a yummy meal. Well, I though it was yummy, Ed thought it was ok. We each had a carrot stick before hand. And some strawberries and crème fraîche after. We're full.
Sunday/19-May-19: Late morning I put a trayful of Oven-Roasted Tomatoes (MC, HandyBook) on to cook. Found some tomatoes that actually said they were Romas, while usually I just use allongée.
Dinner started with Smoked Salmon with Dill-Mustard Sauce (VegHarv, p4; cookbooker). Good stuff this, and the extra sauce was good on the green beans that I served with duck scallops meunière. Served the duck with trio rice and steamed green beans. Then the rest of the Langres.
Haven't fixed on a cookbook for next month. Sort of thinking of repeating Römertopf since a promising new cookbook has just arrived. Because of the busy-ness of the last week of the month. I won't be able to do a Römertopf recipe until Sunday, which is June.
