Many thanks. I tried the recipe @linguafood linked. They were delicious and crunchy but not as deeply browned as yours. Next I shall try your approach and see how the cooking gods are going to react.

Of all the lovely meals, do you have a favorite restaurant?

That looks really good! I’m excited to see more.
There’s fun little burger bar in Staunton with live hillbilly music if you find yourself there again.

Oops. Argentine.
Interested! I am down here periodically. A friend recommended Remedy Burger but…lethargy led me to the nearby choice.
I’ll look back and see what I can find. It has been a while. I do recall an overrated farm to table place that was alright.
Zynodea might have been the farm to table place. I’ve been there a couple of times when it first opened and it was pretentiously good but honestly, I’m more of a burger bar sort of gal.
Gratuitous picture of a guy I saw at a market yesterday playing a washtub bass.

Farmhouse Kitchen and Wares had excellent breakfast/brunch - fancified sausage biscuits and gravy and quiche. Probably our best meal of the visit.
Here’s an album with some links https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZKrFkg4WP88h9qay7
And evidently I also made a Yelp list: https://www.yelp.com/collection/NPF9WZ0RakAoWGR8y9O1ng?utm_content=Collections&utm_source=ashare
This was early 2017 so things have surely changed with time and post pandemic.
Redbeard Brewing was great – my beer enthusiast husband loved it, thought they were very well made. He was into dank hoppy beers at the time.
The Shack was highfalutin New American in a quaint hipsterish setting. It was pretty good for what it was, but on the expensive side for us and we were turned off that they served my husband a completely burned burger bun and insisted that was how they do it. I also had a strange fish sauce condiment with something I ordered that I didn’t like.
The Burger bar is Marino’s Lunch. Fun little dive.
There was an informal sort of lunch counter with LPs on the wall and a wide variety of beers and slider burgers somewhere on Lewis Street, but I can’t find it now, so maybe it’s closed.
Happy Eats!

I can’t find them in this food desert of NW Montana, so I just rely on the generic black plums they sell in the stores. Like the tomaters, tastless.
Swordfish with zhoug and capers, romano beans with roasted cherry tomatoes and garlic. Easy peasy, summer on a plate.

The Cakebreads are a fine family. I can’t believe how BIG they’ve become!
Fine products, but maybe not all cut our for cooking with. I agree with your Mondavi selection.

Thank you for your kind thoughts!
Well, we do take home leftovers (which I have for dinner during the week) 
We just like to try a lot of different dishes.
Mrs. P stays slim by eating Healthy Choice chicken and rice soup from Monday through Thursday (so she can splurge on the weekends).
I, on the other hand have put on some pounds. I do try to walk on the treadmill 6 days a week.

Well, if that was my diet 5 days a week you bet your sweet bippy I’d be going ALL OUT for those meals. And you two do!

It’s hard to choose a favorite restaurant. There are so many good ones. We have a fairly tight rotation of about 7 restaurants that we go to on a monthly basis. Besides excellent food, they all have excellent, welcoming service, and treat us like family. For a few of them, I bring them bottles of wine (or bourbon in one case) in appreciation, since some of them comp us some dishes.

Yes, Mrs. P can get pretty ravenous on the weekends
