Sam’s Pizza w/ Lost Lake Mozzarella and La Quercia Pepperoni
CJ gave me a taste of the La Quercia pepperoni and Lost Lake had their first mozzarella of the season, so this was meant to be. Getting back into the groove if it I started it the previous week so it would be ready on Sunday for dinner. It all worked out together. That pepperoni is quite good. I’ve had a few and this is certainly right up there.
Lamb Burgers
Ended up being mutton from Lucky George. Added a bit of salt, pepper and a bit of the Tingly Momofuku Seasoned Salt. Good Things.
Breakfast Burrito With Scrambled Egg, Chorizo, and Refried Beans
Simple, I used Crooked Gap chorizo, which is not as fatty or as thinly ground as Mexican chorizo you might buy at the store. Even so it ended up as a tasty easy dinner, though that might not have been their intent. I did end up using my blowtorch and a fork to fire roast the pepper. I will state for the record that the flame from the torch is hard to see in the bright light of day.
Hungarian Chicken and Noodles With Cabbage
Fresh Cabbage from Blue Gate. I think it was missing paprika, perhaps even smoked paprika. Even so, it was pretty good and pretty simple to make.
Chicken Parmesan Pasta Bake
This was not a Parmesan bake. Reading the comments on the recipe, they replied to the complaint about the lack of Parmesan, and they said it ended up better that way. This seems like a load of poppycock. I would think at least a combination of mozzarella and Parmesan would be a compromise to getting what you wanted as opposed to titling it with the word Parmesan and not actually having Parmesan in it. This was disappointing in what I would’ve expected. They could’ve called it a Chicken Pasta Bake and I would’ve been happy (ish). Under-spiced, no Parmesan. Still ok, but really disappointed. Used the Lost Lake Mozzarella.
