So what's for dinner?

Tuna fish with multigrain bread and microwaved vegetables.

egg roll, won ton soup & General Tso's chicken from a takeout place I haven't ordered from in a while. I remember now why I stopped ordering from them -- very mediocre. Disappointing. And there's chicken & lo mein in my fridge now for 2 more disappointing meals.

Bouillabaisse

Roast beef rubbed down with the last of our carrot-top pesto.

One of those sticky Chinese chicken dishes. Saw a gif recipe on the internet and just improvised most of it Cornstarch, fresh veg, sesame, you know, the usual.

Twice cooked pork with leeks

We have a lunch club at work and every Monday a different team is on rotation to provide lunch for 20 people. My turn is coming up so I've been on the look out for something that hasn't been brought in before so when I came across this recipe from epicurious for a white chicken chili I had to try it. It really was delicious and easy. I followed the recipe pretty closely only I omitted the cream (I just mashed some of the beans to make it creamy) and I used ground chicken instead chicken breast cut up and since I didn't have a jalapeño I threw in some chili flakes for a bit of heat. We had it with sour cream, salsa and cilantro. I think that it would be delicious without the chicken too, if anyone wants a vegetarian option.

Due to lack of inspiration: tuna melt.

Birthday dinner: raclette (with potatoes, sausage, ham, pickled onion & cornichons), followed by cheese fondue (with bread), & a nice white Savoyard wine. Yes, I have eaten all the melted cheese in the world. Just roll me into the corner and let me be a happy blob for a while.

Smoked Tuna sandwiches.

Fork apart some smoked tuna and add enough mayonnaise to hold it together and eat it on toast.

I have never heard of smoked tuna before.

When I was growing up, my mother would make Finnan Haddie - smoked haddock in a cream sauce on toast. I haven't had it in years but it was delicious.

Love Finnan Haddie - my local pub used to serve it with spinach and a poached egg which was very tasty - they've stopped it now, alas.

I made a kedgeree this morning for "brunch" - smoked cod (they had some marked down at the supermarket yesterday) with chunks of hard boiled egg and rice in a creamy/buttery curry sauce. Garnished it with some crispy fried red onion. Delish.

We bought the smoked tuna at Meding's Seafood in Delaware.

They have a restaurant and a seafood shop.

Oh, and today's dinner was pork chops in rice cooked with mushroom soup.

Roasted chicken thighs and sweet potato-leek cakes

Tonight was various maki rolls at a local pan-Asian place: salmon skin, squid and mackerel. And miso soup too.

Shrimp and rice....

Thanksgiving on Wednesday.

Turkey, cornbread sage dressing (stuffing), sweet potato souffle, creamed corn, and a piece each of chocolate pie and pecan pie. Oink!

We *meant* to have rotisserie chicken, stuffing, gravy, green bean casserole, and pumpkin custard.

Then we got back from brunch at a friend's house and collapsed for a four hour nap.

So instead it's microwaved Jamaican beef patties.

At least I'm having some cranberry sorbet with it.

Kippers, potato salad and the awesomest mince pies I found today, with orange flavored pastry and cranberry filling. Christmas season has begun.

Turkey chili, featuring stock made from the carcass and generous amounts of the leftover meat. More like really hearty, spicy soup, it didn't thicken quite as much as I would have liked, but then I did probably more stock than the recipe called for. Still pretty good, topped with fresh grated cheddar and tortilla chips on the side.
