So what's for dinner?

Annie's Mac and Cheese has been my favorite recently.

Cheddar pierogi with sour cream and apple sauce

Pan-seared salmon filet (with crispy skin!) and corn on the cob. A bowl of cherries for dessert. I love summer!

German pancakes.

The egg fairy visited on Sunday and we had 38 eggs. Down to 32 now.

Hubby is braising spare ribs now, soon on the grill.

I hope nobody's hungry for thin skinned fish.

Dredged in flour, pan-fried in butter, and served with a white wine pan sauce, I think. Maybe on a bed of spinach. Mmmmmm... I may have to go to the fish store today!

Baked chile rellenos

Finally got to sample the menudo at the local Mexican place! They only serve it on the weekends.

Looking at sushi tonight depending on queue.

We had German pancakes again. Now down to 24.

Roasted chicken breasts with rice, yummy!

Usually I eat air popcorn as well

Chinese Takeout

What? - I don't cook on Saturday and Monday

Strawberry shortcake

Because I can.

Best biscuits I've made in ages, if I do say so my self.

So, Husband dearest made me a delicious meal to survive a busy 12-hour shift on the delivery ward with barely any sleep. It was rice with chicken, pak choi and oyster/soy sauce and it was heavenly. More so as I was hungry and tired and had walked around all day on my feet without being able to shove anything else in my mouth.

I live in The Netherlands, and the people here are very... basic when it comes to food. Potatoes, meat and some cooked vegetable is the standard here. So when the ward smelled something different (spices! sauce! a "strange" veggie!) they came smelling my food like flies on syrup. Everyone wanted a taste.

Tri-color elbow macaroni (semolina, tomato, spinach) and a sauce (from a jar) with added onion, mushrooms, and sweet Italian sausage.

Caprese salad: a fat yellow heirloom tomato, fresh mozzarella that's never been in a fridge or cooler (so soft, so plump, still warm and leaking milk), basil leaves just plucked from the plant, and a drizzle of a spicy Sicilian olive oil from last fall's pressing. Perfect summer eats!

I still have enough tomato & mozzarella to make a second meal, but of course the mozz has sat in the fridge overnight so it will never be quite as perfect as it was the first time. Even a short chill tightens it up & changes the texture completely.

Waffles - heavily slathered with salted butter, fresh peaches and maple syrup. Oh my.

Chile-fried pork tripe with rice cakes at a new Sichuan place.

Salmon, coated with Helman's mayo, dijon mustard, lemon rind and dill and baked. Served with lemon rice, and tossed salad.

Tuna salad sandwiches and potato salad. All of it ready-made from the store. Even pouring some cereal into a bowl and pouring milk onto the cereal feels like it would take too much effort tonight.

Cottage pie with Coleman's Shepherd's Pie mix. Of which I have 27 packets left. That's more than two years worth of pie.

Toasted Brie & leek sandwiches

Cool weather has arrived! So, braised short ribs and spaetzle.

We finally used up all the eggs. Then went out and bought more so we could have German Pancakes again. :-D
