What We're Eating- Sunday October 16> Saturday 22

Craig made a fritatta from a quiche recipe that came from the castle in Walt Disney World from years and years ago, like in mid to late 1980's. It's called Duchess quiche, ham, bacon, onions cooked in the bacon grease and Parm R on top. Olive oil roasted potatoes.

The first time I’ve cooked in over two weeks! I was going to make blackened chicken with mango lime salsa, but when I cut into the mangoes, they were sour - not ripe. I needed a plan B since the chicken was defrosted.

A while ago I bought this jar of Truffle Carpaccio at Costco. Well, actually I bought 4 jars. So I made chicken with truffle cream sauce.

Sautéed the chicken breast. Set aside. Cooked up some sliced shallots - deglazed the pan with a splash of white wine. A little chicken stock, then added about 1/3 of the jar, oil included. A bit of heavy cream and a good squeeze of lemon finished it off. So good!

If you see this at Costco, you might want to grab a jar (or 4).View attachment 53520

Wow, real truffle slices - looks fantastic!

You're home now, I take it?

Yours truly had a Philly cheesesteak sandwich with fries.
Pam had a huge pork chop, baked potato, salad.
Jules had the Friday fish.
Our lovely Hildagard ( age 96, Jule's Mother) had chopped steak, mashed and gravy.
We all left with pie to go.

So I have cooked two days in a row! That doesn’t happen often anymore.

Chicken, ginger, scallion lettuce wraps. Lots of bean sprouts, and a great hoisin based sauce. They don’t photograph well, but they are tasty.

We had carryout Chinese tonight. The kids came over tonight, and we all cut out the pumpkins.
Tina and I are the GREAT grandparents, and we don't find it easy to sit on the floor, and the worst getting up.
So the grand parents pitched in doing the heavy work.
I then had my birthday cake, ( a small coconut cake ) and a chocolate cake for the others; and the rest of my cake.
The little ones were pulling and scraping out the seeds and stringy sinew. It was funny hearing them
say yuck, phew, stinky stinky grandpop. hhahahahaha.
Tomorrow, they are coming over to have city chicken. I did 6 pounds of pork and veal, and wound up with 48 city chicken
all breaded and refrigerated 4:30 am this morning. All I have to do, is fry them for tomorrows supper.
We have plenty of apple sauce to eat with the city chicken. We canned a bushel of it.
