Pan seared ribeyes, Yukon gold mashed potatoes, and blanched asparagus with balsamic vinaigrette.  Made some Russian rye bread also.

Rye flour has been on my shopping list since this started, but most of the flours are wiped out in the stores.  That is except almond and coconut flour, whatever they are used for.  I’m making bread soon myself, not sure when.

I have bananas about to rot, guess another banana bread is coming.  We devoured the last loaf.  I got some blueberries, blackberries and raspberries I can add too.

I ordered the rye flour on Amazon prime when this all started.  It took almost three weeks to get her.  I have enough for about ten loaves now.  This recipe uses white, rye, wheat bran, and wheat flour.  I posted the recipe here, if you search for “Russian rye bread.”

I wish I’d taken some photos for you, but I did a rack of baby back pork ribs tonight. They were awesome. I even removed the silverback membrane. Homemade barbecue sauce, mashed potatoes, and broccoli. The kids ate until their eyeballs were popping out. It was really one of my better efforts.

Tuna casserole for dinner tonight.

Toe just read that and threw up a little in his mouth.

But then the version he had as a child probably didn’t have a bechamel sauce in which was incorporated two egg yolks for richness.  Otherwise, I’m making use of some frozen mixed vegetables and a large can of tuna bought for ‘stay at home’ purposes.  And, gotta have sautéed onions and garlic.

Kale Romaine Caesar too.

Still a little left if you’re hungry?

Tonight I was planning salmon with a perishable clean out.  Some vegetables need to go, so yellow sweet potato, plantain, spinach, kale and asparagus.

Dinners next few days need to be planned around what will go bad soon.

Looks like a grocery run on Monday or Tuesday, mostly because she needs to pick up a prescription and the pharmacy is in the grocery store where we shop.

If that were me...  I'd be chewing.  Don't force feed me like that

Puts on tin hat to deflect boos.

I'm with Toe on this one.  Let me guess; melted cheese on top as well?

Birthday gift ideas.  No biting...

Dessert anyone? 

[IdleBoast]

I'll stick with cream...

Made tamales on Sunday:

[_priapism]

I did a gumbo last night.  Andouille sausage, shrimp, crawfish, and mussels.  Just about the best I’ve ever made.  The Okra was al dente, and the roux was perfect.  Spicy, but not rediculously so.  Lots of Tony Cachere’s, garlic, onion, celery, bell pepper, Cayenne pepper, Hoo wee!  Justin Wilson was smiling.  Family attacked it, and ate the whole pot.

I think when this is all over, I’m going to have a foie gras burger.



Also my youngest wants a high school graduation gift.  He may be my son after all.  Trip to NOLA with dining at Antoine’s, Tujague’s, Commander’s Palace, Galatoire’s, Brennan’s.  Don’t know if we can afford all of those in a single trip, but I’m looking forward to it.

Peruvian causa de cangrejo and ratatouille.  I made both, dinner Sunday.

I sort of missed you did a gumbo at the time.  I did one around the same time, except I added the okra way too early.  It essentially vanished.  It helped as a thickener and added flavor, but I missed that ‘mouth feel’ of biting into the okra.

I still have half a bag of frozen okra, so another gumbo is in the plan.  It’s probably several days out though.

It’s been 9 days since I grocery shopped, and I’m trying to go at least another week before I shop again.  Meals are planned around what is going bad.  Frozen okra along with frozen shrimp, chicken, fish and sausage are far down on the list of ‘going bad’ right now.
