Wilfrid Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Got home from theater late, Zabar’s chicken salad tacos, hot sauce and slaw. Mission has now launched zero carb tortillas, they’ve had low carb for a while. Oh and a crayfish taco with soy sauce to finish up the tails.

maison rustique Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 My food-gifting friend brought me smoked Italian sausage and country-style beef ribs because I mentioned I was craving BBQ. So I had a bit of both last night with some potatoes, arugula, tomato, butter and German potato salt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephanieL Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 (edited) I got N a Weber portable fire pit for her birthday last year. It stayed in the box, unassembled, until today, when we finally made a good ol' California Santa Maria tri-tip. N being South African, she made a proper wood fire. Rest of the meal: RG's recipe for Santa Maria pinquito beans RG's fresh salsa, using heirloom tomatoes from the farmer's market (they were so juicy I had to strain the salsa a couple of times) Homemade garlic bread Lagunitas IPA to drink S'mores for dessert Edited August 19 by StephanieL 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maison rustique Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 @StephanieL, you just described one of my all-time favorite meals. Nothing like a S.M. tri-tip and pinquitos. I'm drooling! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloviatrix Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 @StephanieL OMG. That sounds like the perfect dinner. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephanieL Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 It was a great dinner, thanks, and we have plenty of leftovers. We did smell like smoke afterwards, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sneakeater Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 It’s like when my wife and I would go to Sammy’s Romanian and we’d both wake up the next day exuding garlic. It was kind of nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MitchW Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 (edited) Fake Puntarelle Alla Romana; using endive instead. Fake veal piccata; using chicken instead (and boy, does this make for a quick dinner). Rice, with broccoli steamed atop for the last 5 minutes, in the Zojirushi. Edited August 21 by MitchW 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MitchW Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 A couple varieties of tomato, fancy cucumber (Lani's) and sweet onion. Pasta al pesto with Romano beans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

small h Posted August 23 Author Share Posted August 23 (edited) Egg curry. I've had egg curry at Lakruwana. It wasn't half as good as this, if I do say so myself, and I do. Seen here with leftover bread from our wedding welcome party, because I do not waste food. Edited August 23 by small h 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MitchW Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Had these really nice heirloom "cherry" tomatoes along with blanched green and wax beans. Tossed with a (if I do say so myself) delicious walnut-miso dressing, from Hiroko Shimbo's The Japanese Kitchen cookbook. What in Spain might be called socarrat, in Japan might be called okoge. My okoge game was strong last night, in this donabe rice with salmon, halibut and hijiki. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
