1. Bouillabaisse and a Greek salad

Made a big honkin' pot of it last night. Turned out quite tasty!

2. Home made Chicken Soup

[Phentex]

3. Leftovers for me...

everyone else is out!

It's cold and a bit rainy so I'm thinking I'll have some chicken stew.

4. Eggplant Parmesan, pan fried spinach, a salad and

crostini with tapenade

[pinto]

5. Shredded ham/pastrami and cheese grilled on rye, smothered in sauteed bell peppers and onions.

Simple salad on the side w/ olive oil and red wine vinegar. Sort of a deli take with what's on hand...sans french fries.

6. I'm boring.

More leg of lamb.

7. Beef stew.. was supposed to be beef & noodles, but I have no noodles

The beef was stewing all morning, I'll just add more broth, carrots and potatoes.

8. Umami burgers with chips and some good french onion dip.

Found the recipe online and its one of the best burger recipes ever.

9. Pork chops braised in beer, roasted poblano,

onion, and garlic. Black beans and rice with chopped tomato and cilantro salad. Non traditional but delicious ciabatta roll and a beer. Burp! I made it up and Mr. Pup went wild.

10. Asian spicy pork sliders on Hawaiian rolls

And Coleslaw...

I just simmered some shredded pork shoulder in garlic, Hoisin, Sambal, and soy...and I just love those little Hawaiian rolls. I don't know if they are a PNW product...I never saw them back east. They are soft and a little sweet. So yummy. I very rarely eat bread but these are my one weakness.

11. I love Hawaiian bread!

You can get it in Chicago. Not sure about farther east.

12. They are like Crack....

I can eat...well lets say way too many...I love them warm or lightly toasted with sweet butter. Sometimes I'll put a little drizzle of honey or a speck of jam..... They are just as wonderful with a poached egg and a little ham...OMG....

13. Or cut them in half, butter them and then brown in a pan.

The carmelization is wonderful.

14. Shrimp scampi.

I had a busy day so this was an easy way to go. The snow started falling by early afternoon so we hunkered down to ride it out. There's probably 4 to 5 inches on the ground out there which is just about what was predicted for here.
