2022 - Week 19 Cooking Results

We ended up going to Tupelo Honey, which was fine, and the to Hello, Marjorie for a cocktail (TH vs HM cocktail? HM hands down, not even close). And then we realized that going to the Steve Martin - Martin Short show didn’t start until 8, not 7, so we wandered up to the the sculpture park, wandered around a bit, and sat in the shade for a bit. It was interesting to see the people that just roll through the park, which seems like quite varied in age and etc. It does seem sad to see some of the minor defacement inside Panoramic awareness pavilion by Olafur Eliasson. You could see children playing, people just hanging out, a couple yelling at each other across the street, children crying, but it was still nice to be there. We took the walk back from the Park to the Civic Center and enjoyed the Music, Jokes ribbing and general silliness of Steve Martin, Martin Short. Certainly a nice date night.

Sloppy Sammy’s

Always good, always different. Remembered the mustard.

Ramen, Chicken, and Fried Egg

Fried egg, pulled rotisserie chicken, ramen. I should’ve thought more and added some vegetables.

Rhubarb Shrub

Easy to put together, nice smell, haven’t had a cocktail with it yet. Maybe tonight.

Ramp and Sausage Risotto

Always a favorite around this time of year. I picked up some more ramps today. I did realize I have quite a bit of Arborio rice, especially since I bought another bag. Just a meal that takes time, highlights ramps and is just something you eat around the spring.

Three Cup Chicken

I didn’t have dry sherry, but I used sherry none the less, I thought this was pretty easy to put together, since I swapped out the ginger and garlic for their dried counterparts. I skipped, cause I couldn’t find, the Thai Basil leaves, but I did use the Momofuku toasted sesame oil and that added a nice flavor. Enjoyable.

Tagliatelle with Prosciutto and Peas

Some wonderful prosciutto, pasta, peas and just over all goodness. I’ve noticed more and more that Iðunn really craves cream and high umami cheeses. Good stuff.
