So I was visiting my folks a month ago and visited this charcuterie/deli new place.
The guy does a lot of excellent stuff (guanciale, Spanish style chorizos, blood sausages) and I bought some nduja.
If you're unfamiliar (I was) it's a spreadable spice pork sausage. You can spread it on some toast, use it in pizza and I started looking for other uses.
I came about this recipe

Prawn nduja salad

I made it today, didn't have mache leaves or baby spinach on hand so I tossed in some basil leaves instead.
It was delicious.
Bottom line: if you find nduja, buy it.

I can get nduja at my local whole foods in a major east coast city so it's probably not as high quality as what you got but I find it to be a big flavor enhancer in quick tomato sauces. Just spreading it on toasted bread is also delicious.

Oh, absolutely, I used it in the tomato sauce for this penne and prawns dish, it turned out really nice.

Does that cake say Happy @Mather ’s day?

I know it doesn’t but that’s what I read at first glance

Every day is Happy Mathers Day.

Except the days when I'm angry. But that would look look less good written on a cake.

Spent the afternoon making gnocchi dough for tomorrow. Yellow on top is pumpkin, middle is ricotta + spinach, greenish at the bottom is sweet potato.
I'll update tomorrow after I cook them.

WaPo food emailed a recipe that intrigued me the other day. I had some leftover cherries, so i knew I was gonna try it at some point this week. I never considered putting pineapple and cherries together, but it was fab. We skipped lunch today, so had an early dinner.

Stir fried pork with snow peas, cherries & pineapple over jasmine rice. Will def make this again.

Never thought of using cherries. But I guess people add raisins to curry dishes, so adding cherries is not that far of a stretch. Thanks for the tip!

Breakfast. Spinach, bell pepper & tomato omelet, home fries with cumin, and a bagel.

It ain't pretty, but here is a bowl of Japanese curry from a box for dinner. Made it for the first time; it tastes almost exactly as I remember it from Coco Ichibanya from Osaka. The quality is excellent for instant curry.

I picked up a box of instant curry recently and have been meaning to whip it up one of these nights. Thanks for the reminder.
