OOOH! Didn’t realize your baby was getting fixed! She’s still lookin’ purty.
And 
on the stoopid bug hitting your guy. Hopefully it’s very short-lived. Hope the spicy food helped.

As sometimes happens, only half my dinner was good. This is the good part: a very nice kale sort-of caesar salad, with kale from the balcony.
And here is a plate of squid in green sauce which I have made dozens of times, which I love, which I don’t think I have ever fucked up. Until now! The squid steamed instead of searing or roasting, and came out grievously overcooked. The scallions, meanwhile, remained practically raw. It’s possible that I always dry the squid, but not this time. It’s also possible that I always use the cast iron, but not this time. Probably I forgot to preheat the pan. In any case, bleah. It was bleah.
It looks good, though, doesn’t it? Oh, well.

Late reaction, but yes, they usually have you toast more than needed, and 1 tbso is plenty for 1 lb (why toast extra? I don’t think it’s harder to toast 1-2 tbsp of rice vs 1/4-1/2c 
)
Since I had my hot meal at lunch, I had a Thai mango salad gor dinner. It was the first time making this salad and the flavour profiles were lovely.

One week down; three more to go.
I’m gonna make it without screaming at anyone.
(Just keep telling myself that.)
Dinner? Started with wine. Like duh.
Then a lamb burger mixed with minced red onion, ground sumac (needed more), and minced fresh parsley. Pan-fried in hot olive oil for 3.5 minutes each side, served on a toasted and buttered brioche bun with a few baby spinach leaves on top.
The lone side (other than the wine, of course!) was a diced cucumber, quartered grape tomatoes, and crumbled feta cheese salad lightly mixed with a dressing of olive oil, lemon juice, minced fresh parsley, and a pinch of dried mint (because no fresh) and a pinch of sea salt and freshly ground pepper.
I was pleased with this dinner. Simple and summery.
With wine. Did I mention the wine?

I know it’s off topic, but I can’t help it. This is another family favorite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYn1chaCqp8

Pork and asparagus stir-fry. This started out as an epicurious recipe (warning: paywall), but since I had some nice little things to add, it came out my way. Shredded eggs with onion-tops for garnish, along with a fresh batch of homemade chili crisp, served over long-grain rice.

After weeks of procrastinating I finally replaced my 35 year old refrigerator. And after too many dinners of carbs and salades ordinaire I am craving vegetables. Tonight dinner was Spicy pork tenderloin Thai salad. Pork tenderloin marinated in hoisin and gochujang, seared and roasted over cabbage, carrots, cilantro, cukes, peanuts with nouc cham dressing.

Dim sum style steamed pork riblets with rice-quinoa blend and garlic green beans.
Green beans also made an appearance in my arugula salad tonight, as I finished all the snow peas yesterday. Japanese-style dressing with carrot, ginger, and onion.

Which came out well.
Also, steamed broccolini and a glass of a nice Vermentino
Dessert was strawberries with honey and crema, a piece of St. Agur cheese, and a glass of port.
