Simple Meals

I'm so backed up, I'll never catch up. So I'm just going to pick up where I left off. Here are a few of the easy summer meals I've been eating at home.

Claire and I cooked this for Jo & Co: rosemary chicken and a tray of roasted vegetables from the Portland Farmers' Market. Delicious! The most unique vegetable we found was a beet with pink and white stripes on the inside. It's hard to see with the flash in this photo, but Jo's huge convection oven is awesome. You can sort of see one in the bottom left of the tray. We just left the food alone for 45 minutes, and it was crispy and brown on the outside even though we completely crowded the oven with food. I officially have kitchen envy.

Thank you to Jo and her roomie Mi Tuan (sp?) for hosting us! We had a blast...photos forthcoming.

Pan-fried beltfish and Chinese gourd (si gua) with dried shrimp.

Aidell's chicken and apple sausages with ketchup and mustard. Highly recommended for flavor and ability to fill you up.

Cherrystone clams and a tray of sashimi from the Korean market. The clams were, of course, huge. three of them filled my 2 qt. pot! But the sashimi just might be the steal of the summer! Ten pieces each of salmon, snapper, and tuna for $13. It was all fresh and tasty, so I'll be eating a lot more fish.

Photos of a much more complicated meal, coming soon...

You put ketchup on a sausage??!? You're chowhound cred is hereby rescinded. Have you not seen "Dirty Harry"?

Pish posh, I lost my cred a long time ago when I admitted to loving ketchup on fried rice. I can put whatever I want on whatever I want. Although I will admit mustard and sauerkraut would have been tastier.
