Sorry for the crappy pic, it was taken by torchlight with my phone.

Spatchcocked, marinated and grilled a chicken. asparagus and some rice on the side
I made a quinoa veggie soup last night.
Sweat one chopped onion, a couple handfuls of chopped carrots, and 3-4 cloves of diced garlic in olive oil until the onions are done. Add 2 cartons of broth, an undrained can of diced tomatoes, a cup of uncooked quinoa, and a half teaspoon each of marjoram, parsley, thyme, lemon pepper, and black pepper. Bring it to a boil then add a nice big handful of fresh green beans, reduce heat to low and cover, simmering for 10 minutes. Add a quarter head of purple cabbage sliced into thin ribbons and simmer covered 10 more minutes.
I think next time I make this I'll leave out the cabbage, and cut the quinoa back to a half a cup instead of a whole cup. I might add some lima beans too.

Yum. I didn't cook anything today. Not even toast.
I pounded out some chicken breasts tonight with a mallet, spiced, grilled, sliced. Then some penne pasta done al dente, then a simple cream sauce of tomato sauce and heavy cream on top of some sauteed garlic, basil, mixed that with the pasta, then chicken on top. It was very yummy. No pics, was in a hurry to feed hungry kids.
Happy Sunday foodies.

Took longer than a weekend from start to finish but this weekend I started to sample the fruits of my labour
1. While out cycling and minding my own business I stumbled upon field after field of corn.
2. After appropriating a bagfull I de-husked them and set them out to dry.
3. Several weeks later when they were dry I removed the nibs from the ears.
4. Ground the feckers into flour in my corona grain mill. Yay, my mill is no longer a unitasker, AB would be proud
5. Mixed the flour with a little water and salt and dropped the dough onto my double sided griddle sandwich toaster thingyamewhatsit. All that time and effort to remove the water and I'm now putting it back in
6. Closed the lid and applied pressure to flatted the dough out and cooked until golden. Lovely fresh corn "tortillas" will be available all winter long in my house.
Not real corn tortillas as the corn is not lime treated before grinding but to me they smell, taste and look like the real thing!

Native Americans used to make something very similar, some still do. They use more water so it's less of a dough & more like a batter, they cook it on a flat rock, or these days a flat griddle. Turns out like a thin crispbread. Different from a Mexican tortilla.

Cheers for the info, I will give it a go next time!
We called them buckeyes and used to make them when I was a kid. They are too much for me now! I'd probably eat myself sick on them.
This weekend I broiled some fish with a Parmesan, butter, lemon, mayo, and spices coating. Actually turned out good. I don't cook fish that often and when I do it's usually deep fried or grilled.
My middle son loves making those peanut butter balls for the holidays. Addictive!

I was travelling this past weekend, so I was able to enjoy food prepared by others for a change. Just got a ball of dough made that will soon turn into a couple loafs of bread.
Also got my sourdough starter going earlier today. Can't wait for that to grow a little bigger.

Saturday, we made Fresh Asparagus with frozen Fiddlehead Ferns we picked last spring, in a lemon butter garlic sauce we made up. Some reconstituted Morel Mushrooms. Thawed out some Alaskan Razor Clams and made some Poor Man's Lobster with some older Halibut and that's we had for dinner!
Here's some pics of the mushrooms for my chicken marsala cooking. Man, there is nothing better than sauteed mushrooms. It seems almost impossible how they go from white mostly-tasteless things to brown steaky glory just with some heat and a little olive oil.

I'm stuffed
Baked up a loaf with Melana's sourdough starter, I made it thursday and left it in the fridge and it didn't do much, left it on the counter overnight and it was overflowing this morning so into the oven she goes.
Not beautiful as it was over proofed but the taste is there! Much tarter then the culture i have been using.
Thank you Malana
