September 1

Julia Child’s Provençal Potato Gratin (Side)

September 2

Pasta & Pomarola (Dinner)

With ground beef and onion.

I've cooked this 6 times before

September 6

Momofuku's Bo Ssam (Dinner)

I made this with my sister-in-law (who'd recommended this recipe in the first place). We made the Ginger-Scallion sauce, which I hadn't done before, and was great. I should have made that long ago.

I've cooked this 2 times before

September 10

Panko Pork Chops (Dinner)

I've cooked this 6 times before

Dry Sauteed String Beans (Side)

I've cooked this just once before

September 12

Pasta Alla Norma Sorta (Dinner)

I dug this - pretty easy, and good. The fresh tomatoes in the sauce tasted like summer. Everyone (everyone!) complained, but they mostly ate it so whatever. I'll be making this again.

The crispy prosciutto with this was pretty amazing. I'd definitely make that again.

Skillet Charred Broccolini (Side)

Unexpected hit. I didn't think it turned out that great, but it was all gobbled up.

I didn't have confit garlic, so I:

  • sizzled whole (halved if large) garlic cloves in oil for a few
  • took those out, added broccolini & salt
  • after a minute, added 1/4 cup of water and covered for maybe 10 (this was too long, take the lid off before the broccolini wilts)
  • increase heat to high, add chopped garlic cloves and a bit more oil

September 15

Crispy Chicken Thighs With Peppers, Capers and Olives (Dinner)

The chicken was great. I'm not sure if the peppers on the side were worth the effort, but I'd make the chicken again.
