This afternoon I browned a pound of Italian sausage with onion and
garlic.  Slow simmered in tomato sauce with grated zucchini and
Italian seasoning blend.  I cooked some angel hair pasta to go with
it.  That will be lunch at work a couple of times next week.  The
rest will be portioned out in freezer containers for quick easy
homemade freezer meals later.
 
I picked up some fresh fried chicken at the grocery store.  I am
going to use my small air fryer (don't anyone faint; I own it, might
as well use it) to reheat a thigh and a drumstick for dinner.  The
rest will be packaged and frozen for later meals.
 
The stupid time change has my cooking/eating schedule all out of
kilter.
 
Anything cooking at your house today?

I'm trying to figure out something tastey for a 32oz jar or rago, that
isn't spaghetti.  Something that isn't a pasta dish.  I haven't used
Rogan Josh in a while, long enough I need to taste-test for
compatible.  If it works, might be a crockpot dish with lots of
veggies and beans?
 
Nextdoor has a fun little exchange where folks grab a can or jar of
something (unopened and not expired) and passes it on to be used in a
new creative way.  This jar is 28 or 32oz so a lot of sauce.

Found it.  Rogan Josh not right but Peruvian Chili Lime is perfect!

Assembling now.

It was a 44oz jar but used 1/2.

220z ragu spaghetti sauce (challange item)
1 can black beans
1 can cannellini beans
2.5 cups home made vegetable broth
2 tsp Peruvian Chili Lime spice powder
Optional: 1/2 (7oz) sliced smoked beef sausage link

As it develops may add black pepper or more of the Peruvian Chili Lime.

Also making buttermilk bread in the pullman pan.  Just plain, no added
spices.  I don't want them tp compete with the seasoning of the other
dish.

The crockpot dish is apt to be 8 large servings and while 'spicy' is
not too hot  and just on the upper edge of mild.  People who like more
heat could add hot sauce at dinner (Songbird).  I think it's black
pepper free but the Ragu might have some.

(the cilantro is either minute or some altnative as not setting off my
soapweed senses).
