Some Italian coming up for me. Friday, I'm trying a new recipe for eggplant parm, just roasting, not frying the eggplant. Using smoked mozz and smoked provolone. Sunday my daughter and grandsons are coming over and I'm making a lasagna- gonna cook it Saturday cause it's always better the second day. Ground beef, hot Italian sausage, and ricotta that I made today.
Saturday some kind of burger with sweet potato fries. And for an app on Sunday I'm making pork belly burnt ends- I bought about a 10 pound belly at Costco today-half is going to that, and I'm gonna try making bacon for the first time with the other half.
What are you guys up to?
Tonight? Quesadillas. Whether they're plain cheese or not depends on what I see when I detour at the Stop & Shop near the job this morning.
Tomorrow I genuinely have no clue. No cravings to satisfy or anything. I'll play it by ear.
Sunday dinner I'm piggybacking your Italian theme. In my case it's spaghetti and meatballs. Ground turkey, turkey sausage, roasted onion and garlic, fresh parsley, grated parm, breadcrumbs and eggs coming together to make some delicious meatballs. I bake them for 30 minutes then finish them in the sauce while it's simmering. Ladle it over al dente pasta with garlic bread on the side
That dish screams for mashed potatoes.

Spaghetti and meatballs make great leftovers. Tomorrow sounds like it could be popcorn or PB&J :)
I did a braise chicken thigh dish last night and again removed the skin after searing and fried the fat side of the skin, so I had like large chips. Ate that along with dinner. But in the future, I need to do less salt and pepper if I'm going to take separate bites of the skin.
I've only done 40 clove chicken, which was very good. It was a Chinese preparation, so I probably made rice and baby bok choy with it. Maybe some Japanese eggplant.

That dish screams for mashed potatoes.
It screams louder for homemade applesauce.

Or Spiced Apples.
Delicious, but too much work for me to deal with shells :) Enjoy them
Spareribs are your best buy, but I can see buying them and cutting them into St. Louis style and saving the trimmings. I like to eat them whole. I buy a lot of pork butt that I use for other preps.

Best use of spare rib trimmings - Sunday Sauce!!!

You mean Sunday Gravy, right? :) I always go with sausage and meatball, but don't have a standard 3rd meat. I've used whole ribs, chuck, brisket. So rib meat would certainly fit. Might take a while to collect enough of those pieces, tho.
For lunch, Chef J’s China Bistro. Best fried rice I’ve ever had.
Sounds delicious, but no egg?
