This started out as a roasted squash soup with tahini and miso but I had some leftover sauce from a TD sweet potato dish that I threw in for good measure. It had a similar vibe - miso, ginger, rice wine vinegar, and sesame oil. I added a swirl of pomegranate molasses for some extra zip.
Served with baked hummus with roasted tomatoes, cinnamon and tarragon. I stole the hummus preparation from one of our favorite restaurants.

Had some business in Atlantic City so I went down last night and stayed at Oceans Casino/Resort. This was not my first time staying on the property but it is my first fine dining experience. My son took the ride and initially I planned dinner at my favorite The Knife and Fork but time restraints changed that so we stayed in the property and went to America Cut the signature steakhouse of Ocean resort.
Split a wedge salad
Also split the tomahawk rib eye
Mashed potatoes
Bernaise
Stoli Martini to wash it down
Fun night caped off with a winning night at the tables!

oh wow! i wonder if it’s like ankimo - monkfish liver… never seen that before.
Never tried ankimo, from the photo, looks more meaty to me. Foie de morue is more tofu like in texture (slightly more firm), very delicate.

I made old skool lentil crunchy tacos with homemade salsa, sour cream, lettuce, and avocado mash. Mixed greens with creamy Tajin-lime dressing on the side. The lentils were amped up with beef Better than Buillon and some ranch dressing mix - no apologies!

I LOVE ankimo. I had it once many years ago and ask for it at every Japanese restaurant we go to. Most of them look at me like I’m crazy. Every once in a while a place will have though its never on the menu.

ankimo is pressed monkfish liver, so yes, more compacted, “meaty”.
that sounds wonderful!
i’m a huge fan, too, and so spoiled i hate to admit that after getting it every single time my sister & i had take-out sushi (about once a week during the first year of the pandemic), we stopped ordering it this year… maybe time to start up again. it’s great stuff!
Since our neighborhood Argentinian-style steakhouse (Lolinda) doesn’t offer outdoor seating, BF recreated one of our favorite meals there: Rib eye, yuca fries, palmito and avo salad, chimichurri, and roasted potatoes. Frozen yuca made for slightly tougher fries than when he makes his from fresh, but everything was still uh-mayzing. Hopefully we’ll get to sit at that dark and lovely bar again someday soon…

A day off today but didn’t feel like it. The rent is going up and I literally had to DoorDash to pay off a medical bill. God bless America. The bill was outstanding since my GI issues in May. I had wondered why I never got a bill. Time passed and I forgot. They had been sending it to my old address. They called today to settle up.
I had wanted a liquid dinner but there was chicken in the freezer, potatoes that survived being mashed on Thanksgiving, asparagus and assorted cheeses in the fridge. Dinner became an easy and tasty roll-up. Swiss and Provolone were the cheeses. Bread and chili infused olive oil to start.
Down the hatch.
