I turned on my Way-Back Machine today and made one of the first meals I learned how to prepare when taking an interest in cooking: Mark Bittman’s salmon burgers dressed with Tyler Florence’s tartar sauce. Same as it ever was – with a nice BC King salmon - very good.

Chopped garden salad to go with. Wild blackberry tart for dessert.

We enjoyed another excellent dinner at F1rst Restaurant in Hawthorne, NJ, including halibut, chicken, tuna tartare, calamari, and burrata with heirloom tomatoes. It all went great with a couple of excellent cabernets.

What a gorgeous day today. Hasselback kielbasa, potatoes, onions, peppers, garlic. s&p, paprika, sprig of thyme. Kielbasa and potatoes were seared and then everything popped in the oven until tender, sprinkled with parsley. Little gem, red onion, cucumber, sun sugars salad. Creamy Greek dressing. Wine.

To make a hungover day worse, I managed to lose my right contact while getting ready for the show. It literally disappeared into thin air between the case and my eye. That’ll only be the second replacement this year for the same fucking eye, but we all know money grows on trees. So it was possible for me to be in an even shittier mood! Whoda tunk!! :roll_eyes:

A packed house with a few friends in the crowd greeted me, and it went smashing — even the standards we’d only practiced once a couple weeks ago. It’ll forever remain a mystery why I have my best shows when I’m really not into it, but I’ll take it.:blush:

I drank water all night & ordered the burger, which meant I didn’t spend my pay one food & drinks for once :smiley:. The burger was too big (8oz no thx), medium, and pretty dry. Skimpy on the cheese, no ketchup or mayo on the nice brioche bun, but an abundance of pickles on the bottom.

I gave half of it to my keyboarder and got a ride home with friends.

Ready for a good night’s sleep :yawning_face: :sleeping:

What were the carnitas simmered in?

It was some rendered lard that I got from a local Mexicatessen, reused from the last batch of carnitas.

That salad looks so good & refreshing! How do you make your creamy Greek dressing (apologies if it’s been asked and answered before)?

It’s a favorite, I always have a jar in the fridge. Equal parts mayo and buttermilk, lots of garlic, dried oregano, feta and a squeeze of lemon juice. Sorry I don’t measure anything except the mayo and buttermilk.
