What's for Dinner, Sun., Jan. 9, 2022

[NJCher]

I'm going to finesse a couple dishes I already made:

I am adding parmesan rinds to my Spanish Bean Soup with Chorizo. I got this advice from the RG. The soup is good, but it's not GREAT. Like one he would make.

The next dish is:

Breaded Eggplant Slices topped with Broccoli Rabe & Sundried Tomatoes.

This morning I made broccoli rabe as a topping for toast. It has these ingredients:

broccoli rabe
garlic
sun-dried tomatoes
dried red pepper flakes
slivered almonds

It was fabulous. However, I wanted to use it on my breaded eggplant slices that were extra from my eggplant parmesan last night. So again, I consulted the RG as to whether this would even be good. He can taste things in his head; I can't. He said it would be very good and to add a little crema Mexicana combined with a little mayo for a topping.

1. 2 Hot Dogs on WW Roll

Pumpkin pie. Not expecting to eat any greens today. Will see how I feel in the morning.

Does RG stand for Royal Governor? See the post but can't crack the acronym.

6. RG stands for Resident Gourmand

I hate the terms "husband" and "wife." Ugh. So old-fashioned, out of step with contemporary norms. Bleh.

Anyway, that's what I call him because he really is an expert in the culinary field.

2. Tube steaks (Nathan's hot dogs) on potato rolls and B & M baked beans.

Tossed salad, lettuce, tomato, celery, red peppers, sun dried tomato, balsamic and olive oil.




--- sorry, no imagination.

So mystery from the cupboard meal.
Bummer.

9. Braised two-inch thick pork chops with honey-mustard sauce.

The secret is to use a cast-iron skillet.

10. Steamed shrimp and spicy sausage

with steamed red potatoes, all with butter and lots of cajun seasoning. I’m a weirdo and throw some sour cream on top, too. No veggies. Oops. Will make up for it tomorrow.

Still eating candy for dessert. I also have some fudge topped with marshmallows(!), made by my boss’ sister. It’s very sweet and I’m not a big fudge person, but it is chocolate so of course I’ll nibble my way through it.
