Frozen “battered” (more like breaded) with mashed spuds, buttered veg and homemade tartar sauce.
The fish was tasty and had a bit of crunch after 30 mins in the oven, I miss their non breaded frozen fish products though as they(Farm Boy) haven’t carried them in ages but I’d buy this product again.

Thank you for the kind words @MsBean ! It is always a pleasure to dine with you and Mr. Bean as well! We need to dine out together more often.

Fried rice with chopped carrots, radishes, peas, corn, a bit of onion, several scallions, and a couple of scrambled eggs, teriyaki sauce and dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, and a drizzle of toasted sesame oil.
Maybe a bit too wet overall, but still good!

My mild cold has turned into a medium cold — let’s hope it doesn’t turn into a … HOT cold 
— and so I puttered around the house for the most part & practiced some much-needed self-care.
My PIC had a long day at school, but was his usual darling self to pick up dinner for us: spicy miso with pork for me, tonkotsu with beef (!) for him, and he also got the bacon cheeseburger dumplings for our appetizer — a semi-adequate substitute for having to cancel our first Sichuan jour fixe of the year 
Not much to look at, as the noodz covered up all the good stuff when I transferred our ramen to proper soup bowls, but tasty. About a lb of noodz in each, impossible to finish. We just kept the broths.
At least the temps have finally started to chill out a bit, so that’s nice. We’ll take it

The place has an eclectic menu! AND a swing at one of the tables, which makes it highly popular with families

Sounds like a great late night snack, too!
Perfect for munchies! And they come with a queso dipping sauce 
New York Times coconut fish (flounder in my case; not a repeat) with cauli-brown jasmine rice blend and Ottolenghi’s Roasted Butternut Squash with Sweet Spices, Chile and Lime, which stole the show with a drizzle of zhoug.

Last night’s dinner was pork and green bean stirfry with rice.
Tonight’s dinner started and a caesar salad minus the croutons because I didn’t have any. Then I had fettuccine with Brussels sprouts and blue cheese and garnished with chopped walnuts.

An ad-hoc fish pie.
I sauteed some leeks and herbs, and used that as the basis for the roux, adding fish stock and cream. Whisked in a little Dijon and lemon juice - and checked for seasonings - before adding some chopped cooked kale and semi-thawed baby peas. Folded in chunks of wild halibut and salmon, and a few gulf shrimp. Spread the rest of last night’s Irish Champ all over the top. Dotted with butter and baked at 400 degrees ‘til getting brown spots – about ½ hour. Served with hard-boiled eggs on the side. Heinz beans optional.
Plenty of leftovers for breakfast.

Just found out that this joint doesn’t have any Michelin stars, just a Michelin recommendation for good food but they’re milking it big time

I ordered some Maryland Crabcakes from Goldbelly that arrived today. They’re expensive, especially with the extra $20 charge to have them delivered to Canada.

They were so much better than any crabcakes being served at restaurants here in Ontario.
Sides were baked potatoes, baked beans.
Cherry pie for dessert

Tuscan Shrimp and Beans from a CI recipe - first you make a shrimp broth with the roasted shrimp shells and use it to cook cannellini beans, tomatoes, onions, garlic, anchovies, red pepper flakes and at the very end briefly the shrimps (which get brined in a salt/sugar solution). Finished with some basil, lemon juice and zest and olive oil
