 Ricotta polpetti, from the NYT...it sounded so intriguing! Meatballs....but with cheese! Not difficult to make: ricotta, parm, egg and breadcrumbs, rolled and poached in tomato sauce. I let the mixture sit in the fridge for a while to make it easier to handle and presumably for the bread crumbs t soak up moisture. These were pretty good, but they are basically stuffed shells with no shell and honestly I would rather have stuffed shells! I am also glad that for once I cut a recipe in half so that the leftovers are manageable.

Also had some butternut squash with maple syrup.

 At my request, Jason made a couple of regular pizzas: one with spinach & feta, one with pepperoni and red peppers. I wouldn't say I am sick of pan pizza, just needed a little change. Nice start to my weekend.

 Pulled pork tacos, at Jason's excellent suggestion. He made a batch of corn tortillas, and I made some lightly pickled red cabbage. salsa verde and queso fresco to round it our. Really good!

 Roasted tofu with ersatz Goten-style noodles with cabbage. Honestly I would be happy eating noodles every day.

 Just leftovers, as things are piling up again.

 Pulled pork sandwiches (did the pork in the slow cooker; nothing exciting there), along with some brussels sprouts that Jason cooked for us in the air fryer. Turns out it is the ideal medium for brussels sprouts. Faster than roasting, not as messy as sautéing. I feel like we aren't making the most of the air fryer....maybe that can be an upcoming project.

 Unexpected lunch in Carter's dining hall meant that we were not super hungry for dinner. So Jason had ramen and I had some leftovers; then a game night at Jay and Jodi's and then home for some baklava I had made. Yes, we are on our second batch of baclava. I can't help it if it is delicious.
