Chicken with Scallion Dumplings (Dinner)

From Canal House volume 3, pg 66.

September 6

Panzanella (Lunch)

Made with cherry tomatoes, homemade croutons (torn bread, tossed with olive oil and salt, in a pan for a few minutes), and fresh mozzarella.

One of the best things I've ever made. Super simple, just those ingredients with dark balsamic and olive oil drizzled on top, sprinkled with salt flakes. Turned out great!

Rotisserie Chicken Ramen (Dinner)

Lucky Peach Presents 101 Easy Asian Recipes, page 98.

Turned out great! Super easy, pretty delicious. Wish the ramen noodles were better (they were just some generic dried stuff from Whole Foods).

Pan Pizza (Dinner)

Fine, but maybe time to take a break from the thick-crust pizzas.

The dough wasn't too much different from the other one, maybe a bit drier. I liked dotting the pizza with fresh mozzarella, that was good.

September 14

Garlicky Chicken Thighs With Scallion and Lime (Dinner)

September 16

Pasta & Pomarola (Dinner)

With Sauteed Broccoli

With pork & onion.

I put 1.5 jars of sauce in, cooked the pasta 2 minutes short (not yet al dente), and then cooked it a bit longer in the sauce. Turned out great! Except this was the sauce batch without enough salt.

I liked the sauteed broccoli. Next time maybe put the garlic in after the broccoli has been going for a few minutes? It got pretty dark.

I've cooked this just once before

Sushi Rolls (Lunch)

I've cooked this 3 times before

The Perfect Guacamole

I don't think I made this recipe again, so (at least for me) the name didn't live up to my expectations.
