Whats On The Plates Sunday October 20 - Saturday 26

Yesterday we had the kids, and next door neighbors over for celebration early of my 80th birthday; even though it's actually on the 22nd of the month. We hardly ever have a celebration on the actual day, unless it's on a Sunday. We had so much food ... ( catered ) from Pietro's Blackstone's restaurant up on the highway. Tons of food... sausage hot / spicy, lasagna , shrimp / eggplant rollatini;
mussels / fried calamari, salads. And of coarse, cake. Cookies and candy for the kids.

Today and for a few day's thereafter, we shall have leftovers unless we decide otherwise. I'm not too keen on eating leftovers, but I will eat shrimp and mussels the next day.
 
DD and I had Ihop this morning. We needed to get out for a while. I had a short stack (two pancakes topped with butter, glazed strawberries, sour cream, a splash each of strawberry, old-fashioned, and butter pecan syrups), two slices of bacon, orange juice, and hot tea. I could only eat half.
DD had a rooty tootty (it's called something else now).

Hmmph, well I can't do that. Either ground Italian or Jones. I have both.

That'll work.
The first time I ever made this, I used Bob Evans ground Italian pork sausage.
The soy sauce/sesame oil is what gives it that awesome flavour.

I just looked again and saw that it mentions being good for breakfast. So Jones sausage it is!

The miso glazed black cod that I didn't used the other night.

I have made this dish from scratch several times, and love it. But it's hard to buy black cod anywhere around here. I ordered it from Alaska. So when I saw it in Costco's frozen fish section, I has to try it. It's already marinated and ready to cook, either broiler, skillet, baked, or air fried. Directions for the air fryer said 17-20 minutes at 400F. It was done at 8 minutes!

This was so easy and sooooo good. I'm going to look for it again.

Looks fantastic, Kathy! I'm sure I'd like it. I've decided that I really like white miso.

Well, I didn't intend to make a Sunday dinner when I got up this Tuesday morning, but here we are.

Made Ol'Blue's idiot-proof "Melt in your Mouth Pork Loin" exactly as written in my trusty cast iron Dutch oven. Perfectly perfect! Served with mashed white acorn squash and rainbow carrots.
