Rainbow chard sauteed with patty pan squash and tomato; butternut squash with cannellini beans.

Wendy Hutton's Food of Love. Got the vote of approval from the family - every piece got polished off.

Fig season, and we’ve got a bowlful from our tree. Cut up a dozen of them, along with some fresh cut rosemary and minced onion, macerated in port and sherry vinegar. Cook with pork chops in a port cream sauce.

If you've been following me, you'll know that I love wings and I've been cooking them all different ways, mostly in my air fryer over the last few months.

This time I tossed them in a Spicy Honey BBQ sauce and dressed them with onions and sesame seeds. It was delicious!

Dinner at home: cauliflower stirfy, choy sum, steamed chicken with mushrooms and sausage, panfried fish, roast pork, and braised pork belly with squid

With tomatoes from our garden (from vines still going from last year!)

Homecooked

Roasted brocc, epic vegan mac and cheese by Corine, homemade eggless pasta, and Moscow mule cocktails. Not pictured for dessert: vegan matcha mousse. Hell yesss.

Tomato soup, from scratch using vine ripe tomatoes, home made bread to build the sandwich, an evening snack is served.

Mama took a lesson from Tilda on this one, adding some home fries with cheese, drizzled with the juices from the chicken. It was terrific, but I still think Matilda's is better. Part of the explanation for that may be that Mama uses mature wild hens bought from a local market. They have a dark, somewhat chewy flavor. Matilda uses good ol' steroid-addled, fatty, chemically-altered, genetically-engineered American chicken. Vegeta, by the way, is a sort of all-purpose Eastern European spice. Think of it as a Lawry's Seasoning Salt kind of thing. It's loaded with MSG... and delicious.

Organic Scottish rump Steak, Finest Potatoes- para boiled then Softly cracked & roasted with olive oil & Seasoning, Tender stem brocoli and fine trimmed beans Tossed in Extra mature chedder. It was FIT

Pineapple-shaped CNY goodies: People bought them for auspicious reason: Pineapple has a similar pronunciation as "wang lai" which means prosperity arrives or increases in Mandarin.

Recipe here.

Boiled yellow carrots, tossed in chopped parsley and green onions. Taken from Vegetarian Cooking For Everyone. A last-minute addition because I forgot to buy spinach.

Bene gives it hell

Lots of fresh basil and rosemary in here, among other spices and herbs. These are always a hit. These were potatoes that volunteered from last year's potato patch in the old yard in Paw Paw, dug 'em up before I moved. Lots of teeny-tiny ones!
