Woke up around 10am to the distinctive sounds of a cat puking — on the carpet underneath the glass coffee table, of course 
Once I cleaned that up, my PIC and I discussed a few of the Berlin pad listings over my morning coffee, after which I caught up with my sis.
A nice midday bowl of Later Days Tranquil Detours inspired me to take care of some much-needed cleaning around the pad… it’s curious how sativas tend to have that effect on me, but I don’t mind it one bit as I generally hate cleaning. So. Focused! 
‘twas sunny out, but I really had no reason to leave the house, and dinner was a ‘what’s around to eat’ affair. I was souped out after two nights, so I tossed a few chonks of chicharron-I-mean-moo-krob 
in the air fryer and made another bowl of nam jim jaew (doubled the amount this time cuz I love it so). Probably should’ve stuck to just one bird pepper for a pleasant tingle, bc two made it pretty darn hot. Hurts so good, though — and how can something with such few ingredients be so addictively delish?
Red butter lettuce salad with half an avocado in creamy garlic dressing on the side.

Shrimp and grits, with bacon, scallions, garlic, and lemon. Hot sauce is a must. Salad greens in vinaigrette on the side.

I wanted pork kabobs but didn’t want to grill in the wind and rain. I seasoned with pork seasoning and oregano, seared the pork tenderloin chunks, red peppers and onions in ci skillet and finished in the oven. Sides were wild gourmet rice blend sauteed with celery, carrot and garlic and then simmered in chicken broth. Green onions added just before serving. Tomato, cucumber, red onion salad, balsamic & oo dressing, dried basil. Gin.

sent the BF a recipe for agedashi tofu and voila - crispy, golden, pillowy tofu in a dashi/soy/etc. sauce, with rice and various pickley things. So good and warming on a cold, rainy night.

Got a half dozen oysters at the farmers market yesterday but ran out of steam to shuck them. So tonight’s dinner was an oyster appetizer, poorly plated because they were hell to shuck. Followed by roasted fennel and tomatoes., topped with cod done with reference to a Dinner in One recipe. Garlic, anchovy, lemon zest paste on the cod but also on the fennel and cherry tomatoes ( potatoes in the Din1 recipe.) garlic caper mayo to finish.

If it motivates me to clean, I need some Tranquil Detours!

I decided to make shrimp saag and aloo gobi with winter greens, and as you can imagine, there’s some prep involved. I think all the dishes in the house are dirty.
But the prep was worth it.
Also, Le Beaujolais nouveau est arrivé. in case you’ve been asleep.

Thank you.
damn, i saw a typo in my posts - should be agedashi - maybe a mod can fix that for me…
Tofu and Bacon (from a German cooking magazine) with Stir-Fried Chopped Choy Sum (from Every Grain of Rice) - for the tofu and bacon part you cook diced bacon and than consecutively add diced extra firm tofu, red pepper and scallions and finish with soy sauce, fish sauce, roasted sesame oil and red pepper flakes. Topped with cilantro and peanuts. Choy sum gets first briefly blanched before finely chopped. First a quick dry woking to elimate all water, then stir-fried with chili, garlic and ginger before finishing with some roasted sesame and chili oil.
