What's for Dinner, Sat., March 22, 2025
Lamb shanks seasoned with rosemary and garlic. Slow cooker; very tender.
Pureed cauliflower with parsley. Kind of a stand-in for hot mashed potatoes.
Blueberry basil kombucha.
Hot Earl Grey tea.

gain 14 lbs when I read the kinds of foods you have. Always super healthy.
I don't even diet and I still lose weight because of 3 things: 1) small portions; 2) gardening work; 3) usually no food after 7 p.m, sometimes earlier.
On the first one, I tell myself a small portion and then I can have something else for variety later. The "new" thing gets me every time. It could be somethihg like Brie and an apple slice or two. For whatever reason, just a little food satisfies me and then I don't want anything else.
Well, we will miss you. Stop by and say hi now and then. 
I’ve had a package of TJ’s Tteok Bok Ki—spicy rice cakes—in the freezer for months. In retrospect, I suspect they predate Hurricane Milton and most likely thawed during days of no electricity and were then re-frozen. And moved. And ignored for months.
Finally decided tonight was the night to try them out. I chose to airfry rather than do them in a skillet, thinking I’d prefer them a little crispy on the edges.
Nope. Largely inedible, though the sauce is good. Wish now I’d just thawed them *in* the sauce for 10 minutes so they’d absorb the sauce. They’ll now sit in the fridge trying to soften up (or be forgotten for until tossed out…) and my son is making me some pasta instead (and using the Korean sauce on his own dinner).
This will keep me from going apeshit at the supermarket for a good while, I suppose. Sometimes, it doesn’t pan out when I get adventurous. *sigh*
