What's cookin', good lookin'? Part II

This!

I have made boiled squash, but then I have thinky sliced it, just bould it quickly, cooled it and dressed it with a vinaigrette,
When I googled boiled yellow squash, I found recipes called southern style with onion and bacon grease. Is that the type you do?

I made an old favourite today:

Grease splattered all over though, but I’ll think about that tomorrow.

Yep, onion and grease and salt and pepper. I usually don't have bacon grease lying around, though, so I cheat and use vegetable oil instead. The trick is to boil all the water out of the pan so that the grease/oil creates a layer on the bottom that allows the squash to brown slightly.

Eta: Boiled with a vinaigrette sounds good, too!

Thanks! I’ll have to try! Probably a stupid question, but which vegetable exactly do you mean by squash? There are so many different kinds… The yellow zucchini like? Or any kind, basically?

The ones I use for this purpose are called yellow summer squash or crookneck squash. They look like this:



Eta: The quality of that screenshot is terrible. I'm so sorry.

Thanks! That’s what I pictured in my mind, but there are also those round squashes so I wanted to be sure.

Anybody else bring their cookbooks to the grocery store?

Leftovers. Parsnip&potato flatbread, red cabbage and lamb.

The flatbreads came to be because I had a little bit of roasted potatoes and parsnips left over from the weekend, but not enough for two. So I mashed them, added egg and barley flour and baked in a hot(ish) oven. Very tasty, I’m happy.

Youngest Miss Althea would move in with you for that. She is a big parsnip fan.

We are having Waldorf salad with chicken tonight.

Well there’s the police horse that looks like Pippi’s horse, as well. The reasons are adding up!

Parsnips really are great, though.

That's so cool. I want to make homemade bread so badly, but I just haven't done it yet.

The scones.
I made a recipe experiment and am really happy with how they turn out.

Drool, that looks amazing! One more reason, on top of your family vineyard, to come visit you.

*off to check if there happen to be any good Valentine’s Day flight deals*

I guess it helps that it is scalable depending on the situation and energy.
We have had store bought meat balls with spaghetti and ketchup in our pyjamas while coughing and sneezing a couple of times.
This year it was actually going to be Galentine’s with youngest Miss Althea, but MrAlthea’s work trip got canceled last minute.

I don't know if it's acceptable to post pet's meals on here, but here are before and after pics of my dog's lunch... the remnants of a ribeye I grilled last night.

Yesterday we had pleskavica for dinner and today the leftovers were perfect for lunch.

In general a great food weekend:

For those that don't eat meat on Fridays during Lent:

I had the coriander + orange salmon from (the new) Bon Appetit. I suggest trying it with green olives and serving it with couscous (+ toasted almonds maybe). It was really good! The coriander pops a little bit as it toasts in the pan. If you've never had it before, whole coriander is slightly citrusy and has an interesting texture. You really have to chew it.

Time travel with food today:

Yesterday’s Flygande Jacob, a Swedish 70’s-80’s trend made with chicken, banana, onion, peanuts, whipped cream and Heinz Chili Sauce, turned into leftovers for lunch today.


And for dinner a TikTok inspired salmon bowl.
