Bangers, Potatoes & garlic scapes

New potatoes from Grade A, cleaned chopped, garlic scapes too, tossed with a bit of olive oil and savory salt, put on a tray with the bangers and baked for a bit. I did think of this while wondering at the market. I’m made several iterations of this before, but the scapes are a new thing in the mix. Pretty good.

Bourbon Chicken

Sou you have a 750ml bottle of Cedar Ridge Bourbon, which is just over half full, and what’s the best way to get a couple of tablespoons out? Why pour yourself a glass. This is how you get a bit tipsy on a Tuesday. Pretty easy to put together, and pretty good (that may be the second glass of bourbon speaking though).

Breakfast Burritos with Bacon and Crispy Potatoes

Since there are only two of us, I halved the recipe and I should’ve paid closer attention to that since it didn’t cool the pan as much as probably expected, so that things were a bit over done, at least the potatoes. Flipping them at 3 minutes instead of 4, was not soon enough, and there may have been a bit of an over cook on them. Even though, it was pretty good, though clearly not a good for you meal. Other then maybe the process of defrosting the tater tots, I suppose I could’ve done this without that much thought, but that’s not generally the point.

Pasta Frittata with Sausage and Hot Peppers

I am having trouble remembering if I followed step 3, specifically if I added salt to the angel hair pasta, because that is my only complaint about this recipe. It could be that I forgot, which is entirely possible, or there wasn’t enough to make the noodles taste…not under salted. Anyways the fried angel hair pasta made for a pretty and crispy crust, without to much effort. If I forgot to salt it, that would be why it was a bit under salted. I’ll have to make this again (also have 10oz of angel hair pasta left). Maybe more peppers? I also didn’t follow the directions on flipping the frittata, and spilled a bit of oil. I’ll do that next time.

Pork Hot Dogs

Good as always.
