October 11, 2024 Breakfast - Sautéed Smoked Pork Cutlet and tomato and onion slices, Fried Eggs, and toast. Lunch - Leftover Chili Relleno Burrito. Dinner - Tagliatelle Pasta with a Mushroom, Asparagus, green onion, shallot, mornay sauce.
Today was a good example of how on the last day before a trip which this was we try to use up as many ingredient# as possible.
For breakfast I sautéed our last smoked pork cutlet, slices of our last Roma tomato, and an onion and toasted slices of baguette for a massive and delicious breakfast. We drank fresh squeezed carrot-orange juice and spread Suzette’s homemade apricot-lavender preserves on the buttered baguette slices
I worked on documentation from 9:30 until 1:00 with a client. Then I had a cup of tea and a cookie and worked from 1:30 to 3:30 with another client.
Suzette came home at 3:00 and I heated the leftover chili Relleno and bean burrito leftover from my lunch yesterday at El Super. I cut the chili Relleno in half and make two burritos and eat one and carry the other on home. I wrapped the burrito in Saran and heated it for 1 minute and 11 seconds which turned the flour tortilla into a soft pastry-like wrapper and melted the cheese filling and turned the refried beans creamy. I loved it.
Then at 6:30 we started dinner. I sliced four types of mushroom: black oysters, chestnut, shittake, and white mushrooms, plus two Mexican scallions, a shallot, two tomatoes, and seven or eight small cloves of garlic. I then finely diced about 1/2 lb. of Dubliner cheddar cheese, while Suzette boiled about 1/3 lb. of 1 inch wide tagliatelle pasta and then sautéed all the ingredients and made a cream sauce to which we added a handful of diced cheddar, some sherry, some chicken stock, and a dash of Worcestershire Sauce.
Suzette then drained the pasta and returned it to the pot and stirred in the sautéed vegetables and the Mornay Sauce. We opened a bottle of Kirkland Chianti Riserva and ate a lovely dinner.
We then packed for the trip and Suzette washed clothes and cleaned the kitchen and we folded clothes and went to bed at 10:00 after watching a few minutes of late night show humor on You tube.
Bon Appetit
