Looking for a quick Saturday night dinner. Jan wanted za’atar pizza, but Eilene and I wanted a bit more protein. Beef on the side to add as you will.

Karl’s New England Boiled Dinner (a.k.a. Corned Beef and Cabbage)
Chris requested New England Boiled Dinner for his birthday. According to Wikipedia: This is a “traditional New England meal, consisting of corned beef, or a smoked “picnic ham” shoulder, with cabbage and added vegetable items, often including potato, rutabaga, parsnip, carrot, white turnip and onion.” This is one of the original American “one pot meals.”

Jan’s Chocolate Mousse, the Chris Variation
For me, Claudia’s Chocolate Mousse is the mousse by which all others are judged. It is however, not a health food. It has replaced cakes as the birthday treat in our house. Jan has spent years perfecting the techniques of making mousse, but it took her years before she dared to tinker with mom’s recipe. This weekend is Chris’ birthday dinner, so Jan decided she would create a variation just for him.

Karl’s Roasted Salmon with Leeks II
Last Tuesday was St. Patrick’s Day and no one in this household likes what is sold as “corned beef” in the supermarkets. In fact, except for Chris, my son-in-law whose family is from Boston, we do not favor “boiled dinners” (everything thrown into the same pot and boiled). For us the classic dish for Irish Day is the Salmon of Knowledge.

Karl’s Ham and Navy Bean Soup
I have a ham bone cluttering up my freeze and I wanted to make a rich ham and bean soup. I have made something like it before, but I thought I would push this recipe a bit further and add some new ingredients. To go with my soup, I thought some beer bread and a cold green bean salad would be good.

Karl’s Mesclun Salad with Lightly Pickled Vegetables
I wanted a salad to go with my bean soup. Mesclun greens are a combination of baby greens. While these, by themselves, make a perfect acceptable salad it is always better to add a few crunchy veggies for interest. Today, I am using green beans, red radish, and red onion.

Karl’s Ale Almond Bread
I am making bread to go with my ham and navy beans. I wanted something lighter and different than my usual Guinness beer bread. I decided to use a Belgium Fat Tire Amber Ale.

Karl’s Thai Sweet Chili Wings
I was left to make lunch just for myself, so I thought I would make some chicken wings. I had some frozen chicken wings and sauce on hand. Why go out and buy them? This is for one person, but you may easily increase it for as many people as you have.

Karl’s Pomegranate Curd
Adapted from a Fine Cooking recipe
Jan loves lemon curd, so a while ago I made some with Meyer lemons. It worked out so well that I have made it a couple of times. It is really tasty, but it does not last or keep long.

Claudia’s French Toast
Fond memories of childhood. The occasional Saturday when my mother would make French toast. Soft, custardy bread dripping with butter and syrup.
