Tonight I made nutty umami noodles with scallion brown butter, haricots, and spiralized zucchini. I also made some baked teriyaki tofu cubes and omelette strips that were stirred through. An off-dry Gewüztraminer to go with.
This was yummy but I still prefer this recipe with my tweaks:

No local strawberries at my local farmstand, despite there being plenty in the fields for U-Pick-Em a couple of towns over from the same farm that feeds the farmstand. 
I guess the truck never got to the farmstand. Maybe I’ll try again tomorrow.
For dinner, I went salad, because I’ve got WAY too many veggies in the fridge.
Red leaf lettuce, arugula, shaved carrots, chopped red bell pepper, sliced radishes, NatureSweet cherub tomatoes, quartered hardboiled eggs, diced Monterey Jack cheese, dried cranberries, and a drizzle of Penzeys Buttermilk dressing mix.
Wine. And the salted caramel cupcake from yesterday’s farmer’s market for dessert.
And it looks like I’ll be making pesto tomorrow.

Got to cook for the first time in awhile, had a few frozen pizza crusts from the new Italian deli in the area, Patosa’s Ravioli of Brooklyn.
First pie: Spring mix - vinaigrette- pears (all came with mix) - red onion - feta - tomatoes- fig - balsamic reduction drizzle
Second pie: thin sliced filet mignon - chopped shrimp- crumbled blue cheese- Bernaise drizzle
So f’n good! I created this pie as a signature app at a restaurant of mine a dozen years ago. Really love the combination, I use to actually make it with crab meat vs shrimp.
Crust was good, certainly got crisp. Might try to tweak my preparation next time but it was good.
Obligatory corn on the cob for 4th of July.
Happy 4th to Everyone!!!

How was the salted caramel cupcake? Better than the key lime one I hope?
Too bad about the strawberries. They are plentiful where I live in Ottawa Canada. I got a big basket in my CSA yesterday. If we lived any closer to each other I would share…

Like @ChristinaM i also made (the unfortunately named) Umami Noodles - I started with Andrea Nguyen’s recipe and made a few adjustments.
Steamed yellowtail with ginger, soy, scallions, sesame oil, and cilantro alongside.
Used some of the produce I bought in Chinatown last week (got in a little grocery shopping before the HO group dinner) - fresh shiitake mushrooms, bok choy, garlic scapes, scallions, and cilantro.
The fish was lovely as that prep always is. The noodles were fantastic. Taking all my willpower not to eat through the rest.
