I was a cooking fiend.

I call this my garden in a pot: zucchini, eggplant, chiles.


Served with a lovely veal chop and a radicchio/arugula salad with homemade lemon-anchovy vinaigrette:

Yesterday, we had chicken thighs wrapped in prosciutto in a yummy sauce that tasted like a courtbouillon to me.

Served with okra (inspired by Mrs. Fury's). Can you tell I had issues getting a decent shot of the whole plate? This might be an X-rated close-up, not sure.

Gorgeous! (Yes, the okra shot looks a little, um, internal.:0

Can you tell me please more about (a) how you did the veal chop and (b) lemon/anchovy vinaigrette?

The chicken thigh looks great. I'm going to have to try that.

It all looks divine. It prompted me to saute some eggplant and zucchini today for lunch. I needed vegetables so badly.

I love the chicken thigh also.

I have it handy, so here's the link to the recipe. I just found it on the internet this weekend.

Fwiw, the vinaigrette was a keeper, but if I did the veal again this way, I would use fresh bread crumbs, not panko - I think they would stick to the mustard better, but I could be wrong - and I would pick it up a bit, maybe just with some cayenne. Oh, and waaay more rosemary.

We had no dandelions.
