Well? What did you have for dinner tonight??

For tonight, my oldest son specifically requested Spam, potatoes, and green beans. It's not even really a recipe, per se. It's just something my mom used to do when I was growing up, which my family loves, where you stew cut-up Spam, potatoes and onions with canned green beans in . . . well, she used water, but I use half-water, half-chicken broth. Gotta make sure to put lots of pepper on it. I dunno, if my family is happy and fed, then I guess I'll go with it.

We made filet of fish sandwiches from Marlene Koch's Eat What You Love Restaurant Favorites. She offers two ways to cook it. One is the air fryer like here:

And the other way is for the good old fashioned stove top method. That's what I used and my breading wouldn't stay on. I've never used an air fryer so I don't know if that would have made a difference.

I like some of her stuff. I came across her when I did some cooking for my ex-mother in law (diabetic) and I own several of her cookbooks. She has low sodium stuff in there. My son liked the tartar sauce. He said it was pretty good.
 
Trying to re-create something my mom used to make when I was a kid. Unfortunately, she lost the recipe. It was chicken with an orange-brown sugar glaze on it. Hard to research, since every recipe for an orange-based sauce on the Internet is for Chinese food, and this wasn't Chinese. Tonight will be another experiment, to see if I can get it right.

Nope. My mom's sauce - really more of a glaze - had no Asian elements to it. As far as anyone can remember, it had orange juice and brown sugar, no soy sauce . . . maybe more like a duck a l'orange, but with chicken.

The chicken over the weekend was good, but I still need to work on it.
 
Ok. So, tonight I am going to try to make za'atar rubbed butterflied chicken and spinach.

So, I am making a butterflied leg of lamb with rosemary and garlic, I will be using the rosemary from the plant that I have managed not to kill this summer. I think that I will make green beans braised with potatoes and basil. I will be using the basil from the other plant that I have managed not to kill this summer. Baby steps.

I will then have justified purchasing the Complete Mediterranean Cookbook from America's Test Kitchen.
 
I'm going to make country captain chicken.


I am organized as hell this week.

Oh, I WISH lamb wasn't so damned expensive so we could have it more often.

Me, too. Well, that and it has to actually be in a store. This I found at Aldi's.
 
I didn't make that yesterday because I didn't go to the store yesterday. I'm making it today. I have never cooked goat. It's supposed to be boneless. It's not. I hope this comes out.................edible.
 
"Steak: It's what's for dinner."

Well, more precisely: NY Strip, medium - with some seasoning salt & Masterpiece BBQ Sauce (over charcoal); corn on the cob; asparagus brushed with some olive oil and grilled; fresh garden salad with blue cheese dressing.
