For Passover soup, I never use parsnips. Other times I do. This year I have chicken glace in the freezer.

Lucky you! I’m wondering why you leave out parsnips for Passover and do you think adding a sweet potato instead would be a good replacement or just leave as is?

YW. Dill in chicken soup!

Got my dill, celery, parsley and green less carrots and onions for the soup. Sadly no parsnips.

After much googling, it seems that my best bet is to find a neighbor with a rabbit !

Thanks for the feedback.  I won’t risk using them in my chicken soup either .

Received an unexpectedly complete food order this morning from WF which included a large bunch of organic carrots with tons of greens. I have never cooked with them but wonder if anyone has a good recipe .

thx

Saving the yeast I have , I pulled out my old Beard on Bread book and made banana bread yesterday after receiving a  mistake double order of bananas. After checking my cupboard, I discovered dried apricots and prunes I was planning to use for chicken Marbella - chicken is a bit hard to come by reliably these days so I baked Beard’s apricot nut bread today and am marinating the prunes in sherry for a prune bread bake tomorrow.

Sharing the extra loaves with neighbors .

Update.. now received an email from Twin Springs that VA markets will be open this weekend. Haven’t seen confirmation but it’s a work in progress today 

Just received an email regarding the market. Orders can be placed by Friday for pickup on Sunday. Details are in process of being worked out

Thanks for the details!

Kalettes sauted w/caramelized onion, olive oil, salt, pepper, spice rub, Aleppo.

I have only roasted kalettes with olive oil and salt til crispy and delicious. If you sauté them, do you sauté until soft?

Last night I made spinach stuffed shells.  I see no point in only boiling part of a box- I am much more likely to thaw a whole pre-made dish than to go through making them again.  So I boiled the whole box, and stuffed and then topped with sauce and froze a tray for my SIL and one for us.  We ate the rest. Very tasty.  I have actually never made stuffed shells before, but will definitely make them again.

Made spinach lasagna last night and froze half for daughter with infant but you reminded me how I used to make stuffed shells which are a whole lot easier;)

Loaded Sweet Potatoes With Black Beans and Cheddar

The sweet potatoes recipe was from the NYT. I don't usually think of cheese with sweet potatoes, but these were pretty good.

I made the sweet potatoes earlier in the week using Cuban style black beans from Trader Joe’s. They were quite good but very filling!

 Lemony Cauliflower Carrot Soup from NYT

Added a bit more lemon than recipe listed. It’s a keeper !

Had never been to ES before but went for dinner during the summer. Had a very very mediocre meal and service was so slow that waiter kept apologizing. The little  gem salad was supposed to be charred and wasn’t and was swimming in dressing. The duck was cold and tough. 

The waiter acknowledged the kitchen was slammed but we were tired of waiting and unwilling to wait longer for a redo.

I contacted the restaurant by email that evening and with apologies they quickly sent a gift card. Honestly I don’t think I will return but maybe use it at another sister restaurant .

Shakshuka breakfast 

Sending well wishes your way! I was clearing out a kitchen drawer and came across a matchbook from Yannick’s with your name on it. That was a pretty long while ago.

Over one hour wait to order- line out the door at 7 tonight .

Will return at lunchtime 

Open!

I got this for carryout today at Cinthia's Bakery II on Columbia Pike.

The pleasant staff was drowned out by this overcooked leg of lamb, served with a couple quarters of baked yucca, and white rice.

But, Cinthia's ... exists (mostly as a Latino wedding-cake bakery). I've had the baked goods in the case a couple of times before, and there are stronger places on Columbia Pike (it's a very low bar).

I have liked their salteñas in the past at the Baileys Xroads location.
