  1. I used the WaPo's "Chicken and Red Peppers in a creamy sauce" as a basic recipe for an easy chicken paprikash last night. Boneless, skinless chicken thighs, red peppers, a cubanelle pepper, onions, garlic, paprika and cayenne, S&P, served over egg noodles with sour cream. I omitted the yogurt suggested for the sauce in the recipe as I didn't have any, but now that I think of it I should have used creme fraiche. I'll do that with the leftovers.
  2. I was bad and made myself a Patty Melt last night. I will atone today.
  3. Karma has responded. There is a Go Fund Me for them: “Community Rallies around Virginia Couple Fighting To Stay in their Home” by Leslie Moreno and Pat Pusatory on wusa9.com
  4. 2.5 lb. boneless Leg of Lamb, marinated in the Julia Child style, tied, and cooked Sous Vide at 133 F for 3 hours, seared in cast iron, served with charred brussels and spatzle.
  5. I found a few recipes for chicken with sun-dried tomato and mushroom cream sauce, so I made that last night. As with most recipes, I always make the full compliment of sauce, even if I'm just cooking one chicken breast for myself. On the side was Carolina rice and green beans sautéed with sliced almonds and shallots.
  6. This past Saturday night I made an attempt at replicating The Halal Guys chicken and rice, white sauce, and salad plate. I based it on the recipe in Serious Eats, but used the white sauce recipe "reverse-engineered" from a packet ingredient list by a guy on Thrillist. I have a "molecular mixology" kit so I was able to put a pinch of Xanthan Gum in the sauce to thicken it a bit as recommended. I was really happy with the results and learned some things to adjust for next time I make it. I used basmati rice to make the yellow turmeric rice.
  7. This part of the interview makes me dislike Taffer even more: Then I remember when he complained to Fox News that Covid relief had made his employees unruly. “A hungry dog is an obedient dog,” he told Laura Ingraham, implying that the government should “cause people to be hungry to work.” Perhaps this has colored my opinion of his food. Really? Starving people are compliant is his big lesson?
  8. I found a Marcel Desaulniers recipe on Food Network. I've made his chocolate chocolate cookies as gifts and received rave reviews. https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/best-chocolate-brownie-adapted-from-marcel-desaulniers-death-by-chocolate-recipe-1926503
  9. I'm fortunate to be near their CT outpost, one of the few food destinations here.
  10. "People with more money than sense, over-paying across the board, to go to a hot place to be seen, regardless of the overall quality of the evening." The new Cafe Milano??
  11. Could not face the idea of cooking tonight, so I picked up a New Haven Style spinach and pepperoni medium pie from Olde World Apizza in North Haven. Nice big charred oval, delish.
  12. I used to like them, but the last time I had a chocolate flavor, I thought it tasted off, so I looked at the ingredients and was surprised to see coconut oil. I don't remember seeing that on earlier containers. Haven't bought any since.
  13. I made it with ground pork and fresh spinach, it was good. Very similar to my solo dinner: Reverse seared boneless ribeye, Anne Burrell's mashed potato recipe, and roasted asparagus with Hollandaise.
  14. Yesterday I realized that Katz' Deli in Woodbridge CT is only 6 miles from me, and about a block away from my cats' vet. I had a lovely first cut pastrami on marble rye with Swiss,toasted, and the dill pickles were just the right thing to go with it. I'll be back for cheesecake, bagels, etc.. Best to avoid leaving by their main entrance if you want to go left though, better to go around the back of the building and use an exit further away from the red light just before Rt. 15.
