What’s for Dinner Tonight?

Last night in the villa.....flying home tomorrow.

Real Good Orange Chicken. Last of the food I bought for here.

We had leftovers. I’m baking Carmel apple cheesecake bars and packing for girls weekend. We leave tomorrow at 7:30am.

Braised two lamb shanks with wine, carrots and mushrooms. Served on a bed of grits made with herbs. I shouldn’t have (the carbs) but soooo worthy (the stewed meat and veggies).
Poached a few Anjou pears with ginger and lemon and had a half of one for dessert. These would be nice with vanilla yogurt for breakfast too; maybe I’ll do that one morning.

@theluckyrabbit here’s the cardamom orange recipe with my notes:

https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/orange-cardamom-cookies-240927

I up the cardamom to 2tsps and add 1/8 tsp of orange blossom water (from KA) in addition to the listed orange zest to the recipe.

I always roll dough and slice the cookies because it’s faster prep. Never iced them but that’s just me; I like my cookies unfrosted generally. I have frozen this dough successfully for up to 3 months with no deterioration. Just plastic wrap followed by freezer paper.


ETA: for the ginger cookies you might find this a good start. Had I seen this before beginning my 3x ginger cookies I would have bought to experiment and just added fresh ginger to the base. HTH and have fun baking!

Going back home today, so not sure what dinner will be.

 

[tinkerbellandpeterpan]

Chicken parm with pasta. We are in comfort food mode over here.

 

[Cannot_Wait_4Disney]

Pot roast.

 

[Giraffe_Zen]

Chicken fries and waffle fries. Easy tired teacher Friday night lol

Made butter chicken and eventually it will be vacuum sealed and frozen thereby completing my vacation Indian meal. Made chicken tikka masala originally but decided it was too “exotic” for the six y/o guest.
Getting close to the end with that project and soon enough I’ll do a trial run for the cooler packing.

Tonight had the leftover lamb shank but no grits. Cracked open a bottle of sparkling apple cider from NYS. Had a glass with dinner and I’m thinking that I should have bought a full case instead of a half, lol.
Also another poached pear for dessert.
