It was almost worth his getting laid up for. However, the hospital charged his mum's insurance S$21,000 for the op. A nice meal is just about the least they could provide in return.
Since Rosh Hashanah starts tomorrow and I'm going to be in Utah, we had holiday dinner tonight. I made chicken thighs with a pomogrante honey glaze, sweet noodle kugel, and fried honey maple apples. Pomograntes are a pain in the ass to deal with and this was my first time using a whole one instead of just buying the seeds.
It was supposed to be pork verde, but for whatever reason, it's not verde. Still tasted pretty good though, and it was funny seeing the cashier's face at the store when I bought 3lbs of tomatillos. I also tried making esquites with beans but I think the recipe wasn't what I was expecting or I didn't add enough cheese. It tasted right, but didn't look like it should.
For breakfast later, we're eating some bananas, Granny Smith apples, sausage, hash browns, toast and some bacon. This should be good to start the day off.
Up until relatively recently (and probably elsewhere in the thread) we used to make a very nice chicken/bacon/leek pie. However one of us now has an onion (and leek, but not garlic) sensitivity and another has gone lactose-free as a treatment for eczema.
So, we've turned it into a sort-of risotto. Chicken breast chunks, bacon lardons, flour to suck up all the juices, chicken stock, bit of wine and lactose-free "cream", plus rice and some manoushe:
My wife is heading out of town today, so I did Yom Kippur dinner last night. While it's traditionally done tonight, we don't fast or anything, so it really doesn't matter. I just enjoy the food. So I made bagels and lox (smoked salmon is absurdly expensive right now) and a blintz soufflé with apples, cream cheese, and the egg mixture that goes on top of it.
