What’s for Dinner Tonight?

More roast chicken. I stuffed it with onion, parsley, and prunes for something different. I put it in a deep casserole dish and put tomato chunks, teeny round potatoes, onion slices, and about half a bottle of white wine around it and let it do its thing in the oven. Served it with a bag of pesto Cesar salad and a crunchy baguette.
 
All the talk about roast chicken has me mulling an idea I saw online recently, hard to necessarily call it a recipe. Season a jar of lemon curd with salt, pepper and any other seasonings of choice and spread over your chicken before roasting. I know it must be one of those chemical reaction things, but I keep wavering between intrigued and skepticism. Maybe I'll jump in with both feet if I can pick up some lemon curd before the weather turns on us.
 
Last night was a much more successful experience. We shared 1/2 dozen Chesapeake Oysters, Oyster Pot Pie (appetizer) & Pork Shank Osso Bucco w/ stone ground grits & asparagus. The star of the show was a Tropical Shrimp Salad that was included with the entree. We'd never tried anything like it. The ingredients were a perfect combination.

Never seen this cooking hack but am intrigued. Let us know how it turns out if you try it 🙂
Last night I had a green salad with beets, hard boiled egg and red onion.
Chicken Cordon Bleu and a pitiful Trifle for dessert
Sounds like HA is a hit and miss experience this time 😞. Here’s hoping it’s all uphill from here on out🙂!
 
It was an exhausting kind of day. Arrived for a 9:00 am medical appt and told I had no insurance coverage- ehhh!!!!! It was on from then until about 4:30 pm when finally told (in writing) it was a mistake.

Heated up the lasagna soup (minus the noodles) and so happy I hadn’t put it in the freezer yet. No advance work for the Asian New Year party today; too busy doing stupid stuff so I’ll try to make it up later in the week. Not tomorrow though as I’ve another medical appointment.
 
DD found a recipe for sausage-rigatoni bake that she wanted me to try out. It was weird... Two cans of crushed tomatoes, 4 tsp salt, 2 tsp sugar, Italian spices, a pound of sweet Italian sausage, and a stick of butter go in a 9X13 pan in the oven, uncovered, at 350 for 45 minutes. Stir well, add 1 cup of water and a pound of uncooked rigatoni, stir well, cover, bake for 25-ish minutes. Top with mozzarella and put back in the oven to melt. It took forEVer and tastes just like it would have if I browned the meat in a frying pan, added it to the sauce, boiled up the rigatoni, and threw it all together, in about half the time. Everyone liked it, but I wasn't a fan of the texture of the noodles. Oh well... that, a bag of salad, and a loaf of sesame seed encrusted french bread and voila! Supper!!
[The stick of butter thing still throws me...]
