I have started to grow used to the lack of a commute. We’ve adjusted to medicate Freyja before my exercise, and while I wait for Shannon, I do a bit of my dilly or dally. Things continue as normal. I still put on pants and shoes (I recently got new ones, and it makes sense just to wear them and break them in), but I do wear any of a number of t-shirts. It’s kind of nice, as I generally only wear them on weekends, and have quite a few. I think it is working out. It is still a bit hard not having my main computer and the monitors, but for the most part, it is working for me.
Better Stovetop Butter Chicken
Yeah… I called a few audibles here. I skipped a couple of steps, had to trade out some spices, but even so, it turned out pretty well. It eventually came tighter as a nice flavorful curry sort of thing. The cream and butter added at the end was a nice addition. I also added some Brinery Sriracha for myself.
Cheesy Baked Pasta with Cauliflower
This was easy to make, but those directions. I missed a part, so after waiting for things to come together, I had to cook it a bit longer, and then after taking it out and thinking it was dinner time, put things back in, and heat it without the tin foil covering. After that, it looked right, tasted right. It was a nice combination of earthy and fatty. Certainly the biggest use of fat, I’ve had in a while. Maybe I’m distracted or whatever, but I was shocked I missed the last of the directions. Eventually this turned out like it should, I think. I think I still owe my wife a true baked mac and cheese.
Taco Salad
Always a good thing.
Chickpea Pot Pie
Saturday late afternoon cooking. I had plans to use veggie stock (since I happened to have it on hand), instead of the bullion. I thought I had miso paste…and I might, now that I think. It might be in the big freezer. Anyways, I endued up using the Momofuku savory seasoning, instead. This came together pretty easily. The puff pastry was an easy crust, and I let it come to temp in the microwave (as in sitting there in without the waves, protected from cats). Chickpeas were a nice replacement of sorts for chicken. Good dinner for a Saturday at home.
