With this heat I haven’t been doing much cooking and when my grill ran out of gas without a backup I wish I hadn’t cooked tonight. Anywho a horseradish crusted ribeye with baked tater, asparagus, cotc and a little bernaise. Salmon (sockeye which I’ve only recently discovered and honestly is very good) with garlic, lemon, butter, Dijon mustard and fresh dill for the ladies.

My wife was so sick of us running out of propane even though we had a spare tank(since I never exchanged the single one when it was empty) she demanded we get a natural gas connection when we got a new grill last year. It was a great decision as there’s nothing worse than running out in the middle of cooking.

We had that in our house growing up; it wasn’t until I was in my first (rental) with friends that I learned the agony of running out of propane; got a backup tank and ALWAYS filled the one that was empty after that!

Mrs. P made a summer version of her famous pan seared boneless quail breast salad. Details and pictures in the main WFD link below.

Having lost power and not wanting to open the fridge, the GF agreed to split a bowl of Samyang Hot Chicken Ramen. Picked up a packet at HMart recently and today was the day to try it.
It is pretty hot but flavorful while using the entire liquid flavor packet and chili flake packet. GF, who likes spicy foods, bailed and I had to eat the whole thing. Heat stays with you about 5 min after finishing.

A very long morning started with me going at 9 am to the Asian market to pick up eggroll wrappers. Then I spent much too long sweating over a hot food processor combining raw shrimp, pork, water chestnuts, garlic, ginger, and my secret ingredient. I faithfully followed the exacting geometrical diagrams and folded the filling into the eggroll wrappers. I floured and fried up the extra shrimp first, then fried a few batches of five or six eggroll before taking this pic. Then I fried the rest of the eggroll. What a PITA!

They are really good with some sweet chili sauce, but …
