Default Dinner Tonight

Had to work today, so dinner was quick: a white bean chicken chili, skillet corn bread, and tossed salad with a lime vinaigrette.

I wasn't sure when Paul would get home for dinner -- or if he'd even have dinner at home -- so I made a pot of lentil soup with spinach, carrot, tomato, onion, and garlic, and some lightly curried tuna salad to eat on toasted baguette. The sort of thing I could eat when I was ready, and he could eat when he got home if he needed to. Turns out he got home by 8:30 so we were able to sit down together.

Used up the last of the top round roast I mentioned earlier. Cooked it as a Cheesesteak pizza. Not bad, not great. I liked the salad with it better.

Just me and the kids tonight. So I threw some quick chicken breast in the cast-iron pan. Took them out to rise and set then made a pan sauce chicken stock, squeeze of lemon and a pad of butter to top them. Served with the daughter favorite oven baked OreIda onion rings

I made braised veal breast with sauteed curly endive, dried fava bean puree, toasted fennel jus and chorizo. I took some spanish style chorizo and rendered the fat in some olive oil than took the rendered chorizo and chopped it fine, then added it to a fisee salad with little tiny croutons and xerez vinaigrette. then took the oil and drizzled it into the sauce on the plate it was frickin awesome

Today I'm at work. We're having just a bunch of fingerfoods throughout the day (including some hot wings). Hey...it's superbowl Sunday

But last night I made a couple of recipies out of the Rick Bayless cookbook (from ChefTalk ). We had some simple (yet delicious) Chipolte rubbed beef tacos with lightly carmalized onions topped with some fresh cilantro, fresh roasted chipolte salsa and a side of simple guacamole (avacodo's, garlic, lime juice). All simple, quick and so goood

Toasted cheese sandwiches and tomato soup-terribly mundane-threads like this always make me want to try to do something a bit more interesting-and then I pull out of the school parking lot and all I want to do is CRASH! They tell me there are only 14 more Mondays in this school year-how ready am I? Just have to do the fun stuff on the weekends!
