Asian Chicken and Cabbage Salad

Bon Appetit, May 2013, pg 31.  Also on epicurious:

http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Asian-Chicken-and-Cabbage-Salad-51160620

This was delicious.  We used a whole small head of cabbage, and maybe 1/8 cup peanut oil (plus a drizzle of peanut oil).  Maybe 1/3 cup lime juice plus extra ginger.  Singapore rub on the grill pan chicken.  Spinach, carrots, scallions. cilantro.

Make more next time.  And don't let Rachel stir the bowl.  Disaster-o-rama!

The standard not-fasty tacos.  They were especially delicious this time.

Fish Tacos

Yum.  Followed the recipe in this blog.  We added 1/4-1/3 cup water to the sauce and it was a pretty good consistency.  We doubled the fish rub that the recipe called for since we used the full 2.5 lb fish.  Used cod this time instead of tilapia, which was still quite good.

Callaloo

Mosewood low-fat, pg 105.  Pretty standard delicious.  We more or less doubled it.  And it made a whole bunch, not surprisingly, so we had to use the big all-clad pot.  Made some corn bread to go with it.  Yum.

Salmon Fish Cakes

Jamie Oliver, pg 280.  These were good, although the consistency was too much potato.  We did make the tomato/basil/chile sauce, which was quite god.

Standard beef chili.  Peppers, shrooms, beans, that sort of thing.

Pumpkin Polenta with Spinach and White Beans

Rachel Ray, recipe #211.  Made it differently than last time, in that we followed the directions instead of making it more like kale and cannellini (bigger onions, no wine).  The onions were a bit undercooked.  It's definitely better to make the onion smaller and add some wine after the onions are ready.

One day we'll find quick-cooking polenta.  Mark my words.
