That’s pretty awesome.

Lunch today was pesto tortellini + kale cooked in a garlic white wine sauce. Everything cooked in white wine sauce is amazing. Just sayin’ if any of y’all have wine and a powerful need for dinner ideas. (We use vermouth because it is the only wine we keep in the house.)

Supper last night (and the sequel tonight) is a homemade pizza with a whole wheat crust. Toppings are a layer of my dehydrated tomatoes (dry) to soak up the extra liquid from a very chunky homemade pasta sauce (peppers, onions, garlic, spices, canned diced tomatoes, leftover turkey from the freezer), pesto, roasted red pepper from the hoop house.
Also salad (!) with green things (!) because himself went into the Walmart (in his respirator) because we were out of beer and so bought a marked-down sealed plastic tub of baby spinach. It’s been there long enough to go on clearance, it’s been there long enough for virus to die. I washed the outside of the tub with soap and then cracked the seal and we ate green things we didn’t grow(!) There are leftovers of both tonight.

I have half a can of Innis & Gunn beer leftover in the fridge from last night.
French onion soup, braised beef shank, pulled pork, or something else?

French onion soup! But only if you share with me.

Ohhhhh. I also have Innis and Gunn. I should definitely make French onion soup. (Now I just need… onions…)

we were out of gruyere, but decided that was essential, and went to the local cheese shop and used the last of the gift certificate from my MIL from probably last Christmas.
And then because it was next door, we went to the butcher/organic grocery and picked up non-alcoholic eggnog and apple cider, because it is Dec so I can have eggnog, and the reason I had a half can of Innis and Gunn was that I wanted hot apple cider last night and we didn’t have any, so I compensated.
I had that eggnog at my LYS’ New Years pj party two or three years ago, and I’ve been on the lookout ever since.
(and shopping on a weekday in the morning is the lowest volume time for them)

I want to feast with you.

What should I eat tonight? I already went out once this week so even though I really want to get Indian takeout again I shouldn’t.
I have in the house:
- A lot of leftover turkey
- Rice
- Pasta
- Potatoes
- Canned tomatoes
- A bunch of spices
- Beans
- Flour, eggs, milk, salt, sugar, most of the general baking ingredients
- Tortillas
I’m thinking either turkey curry or turkey quesadillas? Would those be weird with turkey in them?

I was about to say you should make a curry burrito. I think turkey curry and turkey quesadillas would both be perfectly delish.
I do love turkey though.

Turkey just has such a limited typical context for me that it seems odd to have it in anything but sandwiches or just as a meat slab with gravy on top.

Burritos are kind of like sandwich cousins?

Uhhh this is amazing.
Interestingly, if you stated “a chicken wrap is a sandwich,” I’d go “sure.” But if I asked for a sandwich and you handed me a chicken wrap, I’d be like but it’s not a sandwich.

Yeah, I feel like there are two parts of one’s alignment:
- What would you not be disappointed to get if you asked for a sandwich?
- What would you disagree with if someone said “x is a sandwich”
For the former, I’m a structure neutral ingredient purist. For the latter, I think I’m torn.

I’m neutral purist for the former (either of those is a sandwich to me), but not true neutral in that case.
I don’t know what I am for the latter. I think it depends on how expansive I’m feeling that day.

turkey goes very well in curry (on rice), or if you want to try out something perhaps a bit brighter, I’ve had great success chopping it up in small pieces and making it a larb salad with rice.

You can use turkey anywhere you’d use chicken. You won’t be able to tell the difference.

Anything is good fried or baked in pastry/dough/potatoes
