Meal Thirteen: Loaded Carbonara

This week's meal tasted great, but was team effort.  When I offered the options to Bubbles, he responded "Bacon Bacon Bacon!", so Loaded Carbonara was the menu selection.

The flavor was great, but it wasn't simple!  Squirt ended up helping Dory out, as the final blend of cheese and hot egg was a bit involved.  It is important to incorporate it slowly, so you don't end up with scrambled eggs, yet you need enough heat to melt the cheese.  Surprisely, this version of carbonara did not call for cream (white wine instead) and the cheese needed some extra persuation to get creamy.  A few short trips in the microwave to gentley melt it and lots of whisking eggs combined to a delicious finale.

Our side items were different - with Caesar salad rather than  mixed greens, and some sauteed squash from our friend Roger's vegetable garden.  YUM!

Meal Three: Chicken Thighs with Pancetta, White Beans, and Rosemary

  Very tasty winter fare, Chicken Thighs with Pancetta, White Beans and Rosemary made a good meal.  Israeli couscous and broccoli completed the plate. Fun this week: seeing how this tester recipe, Chicken Scarpaiello , was finally published - Chicken Scarpaiello.   Our version had more hot cherry peppers and more parsley,  Maybe we contributed to the final outcome!

Meal Four: Panko Crusted Haddock Sandwhiches

Triumphant return of the biggest winner ("we're all winners!") in the history of Pity Dinner... the Lenten favorite.... Haddock Sandwiches.    Yum. Yum. Yum. Dory produced the best version yet and we all rejoiced.  She even made the aioli earlier in the week, so it was the tastiest ever. As with many great achievements, there are occasional losses.... goodbye dear spoon rest, we will miss you. We have modified the original recipe - we prefer haddock to cod and we prefer this sauce (use regular mayo - it's worth it!).  Ah, Friday fish season...
