It only took a little over a week before we made it to one of our favorite places in Berlin, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. I was a little worried whether we’d be able to finish ½ a fried chicken each, but… well, let’s just say we did a prettttty good job 
Maybe the key was only ordering ONE potato salad to share this time.
A few Landbier to go with, house-made cinnamon liqueur for my PIC, aged pear & plum for me as digestifs.
Always a great evening at Henne.
That looks wonderful. I miss Idylwilde Farms. Makes me homesick for my younger self…
Hey! Different people like different things.
I went to my last film society screening last night so I stopped in at one of my favourite Chinese restaurant for a pre-dinner movie. I ordered wontons with a peanut sauce and a soy marinated egg. Sorry about the extreme close up of my dinner but I was sitting at a really small table in a small restaurant so trying to inconspicuously take a picture of dinner didn’t work out too well
Asparagus and (marinated) artichoke pizza. Garlicky bechamel for the sauce.
ETA: Also good in pasta salads.
Stopped at my local butcher on the way home for various things, one item being 2 lbs of their Steakhouse steak tips. One large one was WWFD tonight, with a half baked potato with TPSTOB&SC and peas.
While good, the steakhouse marinade wasn’t oomphy enough for me, so I’ll have to amp up an additional marinade for the remaining tips that were tucked into the freezer.
There was wine…I mean, Friday. Like DUH.
Thank you! I like the expression “Don’t yuck someone else’s yum.” And I do wish I liked corn tortillas and try as I may, I just can’t get into them.
TY, that looks interesting!
Pan-roasted chicken thighs, dry-brined with salt, pepper, and Penzeys mesquite seasoning. Kitchen-sink pasta salad, with noodz, spinach, red and green peppers, black olives, parm, pine nuts, and vinaigrette.
I went to see Penn State lose to JMU in the first round of the women’s lacrosse NCAA tournament. In a light rain at U of Maryland. Thus dinner was pringles and a 3” Subway sandwich, plus a hard seltzer, in the parking lot at Penn State boosters tent. Did I mention the rain?
Whole point was to meet son’s girlfriend’s family - mission accomplished (they were great).
I made a ginger halibut inspired by this honey soy glaze, reducing the soy sauce in a significant way (1 tsp for a lb of halibut).https://www.billyparisi.com/halibut-recipe-with-honey-soy-glaze/
Fried rice noodles with ginger, garlic, green onion and cilantro.
Asparagus with lemon mayo
Corn.
Gorgeous dinner . Wine Friday. Yay .
I much prefer flour over corn tortillas. We like what we like.
SASHIMI! 
Are you a PSU alumna?
I’ve had this recipe for Mukmuru, - Jewish Kolkata-Style Chicken saved for a while and since Friday was cold and rainy (after a few days of sunny 80s) it seemed like a good idea to try it out since I had most of the ingredients.
As the recipe suggests it was very easy to make and comes to together quickly. I initially thought it might be a bit bland - agave, onions, garlic, lemon, turmeric and ginger are the primary seasonings, but there is something about the combo with agave that gave the dish a really lovely flavor. The mint added a nice zing. The only change I made was to substitute cashews for the almonds. Served with Patra Vita which I always keep in the freezer.
Nope. But son’s girlfriend is on the team and a big PSU alum family. Actually, it was the first lacrosse game I ever watched.
Last night’s dinner was a partial fail. I tried a new empanada dough recipe I saw on youtube (Atomic Shrimp), but mine didn’t turn out as well as the presenter. I filled them with sauteed onions, ground beef and cheese. The taste was OK, but the presentation was horrid… I made Neighbor #2 a simple plain white rice and ground beef dish, which looked a lot better than my ugly empanadas. Sunshine and I ate them, but its “back to the drawing board” with this recipe/technique.
