2013 - Week 41 Cooking Results

Classic Chicken Teriyaki (p224 Food & Wine July 2013) (yes again)

Everytime I make this the sauce gets just a bit better, though the amount it's getting better is not as much between the first and second time.  Very good, yet again.  Though now since there doesn't appear to be any more italian frying peppers coming (unless I totally missed them at Cleverley's, which is entirely possible))

I guess I get to finish off that bottle of saki.  Ohh I can use the Saki set I have.   Saki and Walking Dead, they go together, right?

Bacon and Egg Ramen (p14 Fine Cooking October / November 2013) 

Delayed.  After a long day of work outside (lawn mowing, then hedge trimming) it didn't seem like the meal to follow that up with, plus it wasn't cold enough, yet and I didn't feel like cooking.

Pumpkin Lasagna

After picking up a set of 10 pumpkins from Grade A Gardens this was clear to be on my list.  This is one of the favorite things that I've come across and the only thing that I modified from this to the previous recipe is that I added an extra layer of salami that I happened to have on hand (I had intended to add it as a layer in the mac & cheese from last week).  The other thing was that in the middle of cooking, I took it out of the oven, and we trekked over to Chris & Holly's to have dinner, so then I finished it in the oven over there.

I was quite happy with the way that it turned out.

Pasta With Chorizo and Chickpeas (p66 Bon Appetit September 2013) 

A little bit spicy, a little fatty from the chorizo.  Then the chew from the pasta and chickpeas.  Quite a good and simply made meal.

Pumpkin Pancakes!

So these turned into just pancakes with Lois' limited run pumpkin cheese cake with walnuts chevre on them.  Quite good.  I didn't have a chance to make a new batch of pumpkin puree before making these, so it still worked out though.  Good stuffs.
