What's Cooking (Take Four)

[Jenise]

Steaming away on the stove right now: tamales rajas from a local Mexican market. Will serve over buttered corn for lunch.

Yummy lunch Jenise, I can smell it now!

Considering meat loaf sandwiches from my world-famous meat loaf I made Sunday.

I'll be making Thai red curry, probably with eggplant.

I did a little fun cooking last night: I had roasted a whole chicken on Sunday. Took off one half of the breast but all of the skin. Made a pseudo forcemeat from chopped-up trimmings off the skeleton (+mayo, mustard, sage, s+p, and bread crumbs), butterflied the breast, spooned on the forcemeat, rolled it back up, then wrapped the whole bundle in the skin, tied it up and pan roasted it for a while to get it hot again. Made a little gravy from drippings I kept from Sunday. A good ad hoc roulade!

Still eating leftover meatloaf and loving every minute. But I did bake three loaves of bread and one Russian sharlotka.
