    Inspired by AzIt's gourmand your of Burgundy, I made simple mushroom tacos. Mixture of cremini and such. No epoisse cheese in the fridge - darn the luck! - so I went with jalapeño cream cheese. Sprinkled some herbes de Provence on it, 'cause I didn't have any herbes de Burgundy in the pantry!

    Nothing fancy...…… Made a late lunch at 3pm. Tuna melt. Thinking of just hitting the Wendy's drive thru or McDonalds.

    I should make that more often...your post will inspire me to get to that. Btw - I've only made meatballs once...it just seemed like a bit of work. How did you make yours (or were they store bought)?

    It’s easy!

    Pork
    Ground beef
    If you want ground turkey or chicken too
    Italian breadcrumbs
    Egg
    Vegetta
    Mix all together, make balls, put on cookie tray and bake. Literally just a few minutes of actual prep.

    Experiment eyeballing amounts of breadcrumbs and vegetta until one cook you get the texture and saltiness you like. Then that’s the amount :)

    PS I cheat and mix a lot of “meatballs” up and a bread pan of it gets made into meatloaf or I use a muffin tray and bake “mini meatloafs” for individual sized meals. Just the balls are “meatballs” lol.

    It’s a funny name but actually I like that one because it’s more tasty then hot. I can put 5 drops in my bowl and it’s just zingy so not bad.

    We had accumulated an odd assortment of food in the small fridge in our temporary apartment, and we are headed to Krakow this weekend...so I made a chicken stir fry of sorts using pretty much all of it. This was surprisingly tasty!

    oh, made a Caprese salad to start too.

    As I said in my prior post, we are in Krakow now for the weekend...which means...Ania's Mom's Pierogi's and Zurek! I was asked for my "order" well in advance and it took about one second to blurt out those two dishes (tomorrow will be the rest of my request list). I'm so full I will likely have to take a nap...

    Zurek is also known as "sour rye soup" and is unlike many/any tastes in any western cooking. I cannot even effectively come up with the words to describe the flavors. An attempt would be sour (duh),with hints of marjoram, yet hearty and light at the same time, the white, unsmoked sausage are appropriately subtle as to not over-power the soup. I love it...I just try not to picture it being made.

    Her Mom's Pierogi's (the Ruskie filled ones today) are so good that I am literally ruined for all other pierogis. They are so light and the dough is not chewy at all, and thus they don't come off as heavy globs of pasta/dough. Rather the opposite, they are light, fluffy clouds filled with way-yummier-that-it-sounds pureed potato and a local type of cottage cheese. Even the filling is light and smooth, with a sharp taste of the cheese. Served with only a bit of butter-sauteed finely diced onions...damn if these aren't one of my very favorite foods in the world (but again, only her Mom's).

    Yummy. It's finally gotten cooler here. Time to dust off my soup making skills. That rye soup sounds good.

    A mother in law that cooks divinely! Doesn't get better than that.

    Iron skillet, 5min each side over medium heat. Remove and do the sauce. Return chops to skillet and broil for 2 min.

    Everybody into the soup! Defrosting our stand-up freezer, so I made soup out of things in there too long - tofu, sautéed cucuzza, chicken broth, brown rice. Add in diced onion and celery, plus some heirloom tomatoes cut into quarters. Simmer. Add a little S&P.

    Did fish N chips. The platter I order comes with fried oysters. There is a thread on oysters in silver and I'm craving them.
