Work was crazy this week.  After a nice pressure release evening with Josh, it was followed by just a whole bunch of work related things including a up past 3:AM night.  Oh well, this coming Saturday is the first winter's market!  yay!

Fresh Ham Roast with fingerling potatoes

It was a hunk of pork from Big Big Meats on top of some fingerling potatoes from Cleverley Farms.  Thermometer in the roast for desired doneness, covered in a bit of sauce (Apple BBQ sauce) and potatoes tossed in olive oil and then just wait for the beeping of the desired temperature.  Took a bit of time, but the preparation wasn't that long.  Delicious.

Peas Porridge Hot (Oat Risotto with Peas)

So I had my doubts.  I liked my last go round with steel cut oats, but Shannon did not.  So this was basically a savory oatmeal.  This was really good.  We both liked it and I would totally make this again.

Easy Cream of Tomato Soup  with Grilled Cheese

I was  a little late getting home (again) on Wednesday, so I forgot to add the prosciutto that I intended to use on the grilled cheese.  Shannon only got to eat the grilled cheese before she ran off to her art class (*shakes fist at work*).  Sometimes due to powers beyond my control, this crap has to happen, but it doesn't make me happy.

The tomato soup?  Holy crap it was easy to put together and tasted really good.  And gave me an excuse to use my stick blender (yay).  So as I sat downstairs and had tomato soup and grilled cheese, feeling bad that I didn't get home in time to make a proper dinner for Shannon.

Falafel Sandwich with Tomato Cucumber Salad

Delayed until next week.

Smoky Meatball Subs

Not so smokey (thought I had smoked paprika, but didn't), but I added some other smoked pepper spices to make it.  This turned out to be quite enjoyable.  I really liked the topping, and if I spiced it up a bit more it'd be really good.
