Spiced sole with braised endive, served with roasted maitake and orzo, adapted from the Le Bernardin Cookbook. I turned this into mostly a sheet pan meal, although I roasted the endive separately from the fish and mushroom. I made the sauce by combining the liquids they gave off while cooking at the end. The flavors here are quite lovely!

Wow! Where do you get flounder roe?

Simple tonight: a BISO chicken breast with a blend of olive oil, lemon juice, s/p, and a savory herb blend consisting of parsley, basil, chives, garlic, onion flakes, and other “herbs and spices” they don’t list. Roasted until done.

Served on leftover rice pilaf with steamed green beans alongside.

Wine.

My first time in Bangkok was eye-opening—tough at times but ultimately so wonderful.

The 80’s were calling. (And Whole Foods had a sale on tuna steaks.)

That wasn’t WFD, though. Cooked it tonight because its very presence in the fridge was stressing me out. :laughing: We had a fridge full of leftovers due to school events/birthdays.

Spring Onion, newly 9, had leftover steak and rice. Leftover fries which he doesn’t like (he generally doesn’t like French fries). And never-ending birthday cake. B had leftover salmon over raw collard salad, I had leftover cod with rice. Random photos.
