BierMonk - I prefer chili morita to chipotle for some dishes as well . They’re not as easily found, but well worth looking for. One of my favorite uses is in brownies - one soaked, seeded, deveined, puréed morita per batch - perfect amount of heat and smokiness.

I love the idea of chili brownies. It would be like eating Mexican style hot chocolate

You and me both on the love for Dali! Perhaps a mini-HO meet-up in the summer!

I love feasts!
Do you sauté or roast the zucchini?
I love it in coins, but they take up so much real estate in both the oven and the fry pan 
I pan fried it. I agree about the taking up of real estate. I fried up a whole zucchini and needed to use my 12" fry pan to fit all the coins. Fried zucchini tastes awfully good though so it was worth dirtying the larger fry pan

last night’s dinner - more Korean for me - BF set out all our pickly/kimchi items and made rice, with spicy Korean tuna on top. i love that tuna, tho the sauce isn’t super spicy. It’s a tad sweet, and there are little cubed potatoes mixed in. I ate it with copious amounts of chili crisp and scooped up bites with toasted nori.
For himself, the last of our longganisa with rice, egg and a little avo.

What a feast for the eyes! Your tableware is perfect for that meal.

I forgot it was Pi day. Some mysterious force caused me to choose the cheesecakes over ice cream.

Since I had a substantial sandwich for lunch, I had a salad for dinner. I tossed some romaine with evoo and balsamic then garnished with a tomato and avocado.

All good things must come to an end, and so we bid our adieus to our friends in warm & sunny FL this morning. Travel went reasonably well, with just a slight delay. To sweeten our arrival in the cruel cold reality that is the northeast, I ordered a few more treats from the new patisserie in town, which were delivered just in time for a late afternoon coffee 
But the nicest thing about coming home were the endless, vigorous head-butts and happy cries from our monkey boy, who was mighty excited to have his humans around again 
Despite having enjoyed almost a week of being spoiled, I wasn’t quite ready yet to get back into the kitchen, so we had a lazy & satisfying bowl of creamy Tuscan soup I grabbed from the basement freezer.
Good stuff.

Our friendly go-to: Budget Bytes cabbage stir-fry. Here with ground pork, plus the added benefits of some leftover mung bean sprouts and a good dose of MSG (not ashamed) to the sauce. Long-grain rice on the side.
Hold-overs set aside for some pseudo jian-bing for breakfasts.
