Overall I made 28 things in April.
April 2
Chicken Broth
I really like the Caldo de Pollo from Doña Tomás, and it means you also get an entire chicken ready to make Sopa de Tortilla.

April 9
Pulled pork with Pasta (Dinner)
This is a short version of a longer post here.
Is this the third day in a row of this? I'm amazed it lasted this long, and that there wasn't a rebellion.
Sautéed Clamshell (Brown Beech) Mushrooms (Side)
April 11
Potstickers (Dinner)
I'd made these and froze them about a month ago.
Some more details a bit later.
Roasted Spring Onions (Side)

April 15
Baguette
These didn't turn out at all well - I had stuff to do, the dough overproofed (I think? it rose too long, and got soft), and I didn't get enough steam so the outside was pale and uninteresting.

Panko Pork Chops (Dinner)
I've cooked this just once before
April 19
Grilled Cheese (Lunch)
Bread
A bit more detail here.

This is a great recipe - easy, tastes great, looks harder than it is. I've made it a lot (for previous evidence, see 1, 2, or 3).
