Baked Sweet Potatoes with Sausage

This did not work in the way that I expected. Maybe because of the wide variety of the thickness of the sweet potatoes. I think the concept was fine, maybe if I half the potatoes or square them off? Anyways, needs more thought.

Grilled Cheese and Jam (Richard provided)

Sourdough, Cabot Clothbound Black Label Select (tasting notes: chicken & pineapple), apricot jam. So damn good.

Chickpea and Celery Soup with Chile Garlic Oil

I may have ruined the expression of this, but adding chicken to the soup, even so, it turned out pretty well. There was celery in the background, a little bit of spice and some creaminess due to the yogurt. It was quite a good mix of ingredients. Quickly comes together (even adding the chicken step). I took the chicken out of the pan between the garlic oil and onion & celery, including the rendered fat (chicken thighs), as to not over cook it. Then added it back, including the fat and other juices to finish off. Quite a good modification.

Tumeric Coconut Curry with Pork

This was pretty good. I enjoyed the flavor that tumeric brought to the game.

Ham & Bean Soup

Leftover ham some beans, some vegetables. Cold day, what more do you need?

Lamb Burgers

I noticed at some point that there were a lot of lamb packages in the freezer. Lamb burgers are some of my favorite things.
