Taco salad

I may have over cooked things a bit at the beginning (I think I was reading an article), was able to recover, and make it pretty good.

Cashew Chicken Ding With Jicama, Celery, and Red Bell Pepper

So I should’ve brined the chicken a bit earlier, like the previous night, but I did start early enough to make the timing work out. It was pretty good. I’m not sure how I’m supposed to store jicama, so I eded up cutting off quite a bit of the edges, as they were a bit sliming, and used the remaining in the dish. I may have added more things volume wise, then the sauce could account for. Even so, pretty tasty.

Egg, Smoked Salmon, and Dill Sandwiches

I only vaguely glanced at this recipe. I used a bit of dill in the yogurt, which Shannon skipped, but used a fried egg and a toasted bagel instead. For the rest of the week I had Smoked salmon over bagels and cream cheese, which was delicious for breakfast. I may have to add smoked salmon to the occasional things to get.

Quinoa Pilaf with Chipotle, Queso Fresco, and Peanuts

Simple, tasty and filling. Probably could use more spices.

Lobster Fettuccine Alfredo with Cheesy Garlic Bread

Got about a half pound of Lobster to add to the standard dish. I did the effort to get the bread going, the noodles ready and make sure everything would finish about the same time. A little delay to heating up the lobster in the boiling pasta water. After Shannon finished talking to her father, a pretty good birthday dinner.
