Happy pre-birthday, Eli! What a fabulous celebratory meal. Gonna be a tough one to beat on the actual day, no?

[ChristinaM (Hungry in Asheville, NC (still plenty to offer tourists post Hurricane))]

Happy almost birthday! Our kiddo’s is today.

[paryzer (Eli Paryzer)]

Thank you!
Yes, it will be tough to beat this meal, but I will try my hardest

[paryzer (Eli Paryzer)]

Thank you! Happy birthday to your kiddo!

[ChristinaM (Hungry in Asheville, NC (still plenty to offer tourists post Hurricane))]

Hope your tomorrow is great fun – and delicious.

When I was a school librarian, I had a big group of students who were obsessed with the Titanic. I had a large collection of Titanic books, and this was one of them. The kids weren’t that interested in the food, but I was!

Found a sample of a South Indian rice variety that had been given to me by a colleague to try. From the look of the grains and fragrance, it seemed like it would be a good choice to use to make ghee bhat - a Bengali pilaf which has a light and sweet taste profile. I made it in a deep frying pan, which helped me keep an eye on the rice and prevent it from being overcooked.

Feeling simple - just had a boiled egg as accompaniment.

[Bigley9 (Pat Bigley)]

Happy birthday! Wishing you many fabulous meals to come!

[paryzer (Eli Paryzer)]

Thank you very much!

I enjoyed a sensational pre birthday dinner at That Dinner Club (an after hours pop up restaurant in an empanada shop).

A wonderful meal! Happy birthday!

And I see a sideways smiling bear cub face with very floppy ears on the sourdough bread cutting board.

[paryzer (Eli Paryzer)]

Thank you! I didn’t even notice the bear until you mentioned it

[Amandarama (Amanda)]

Mushroom and brie toasts, with Chardonnay for me and IPA for him.

Happy Birthday!

Ha- two days ago it was 103 and the humidity was 4%. If we switched places I’d melt into a puddle and you’d dry up and blow away.
Good weather for a salad either way.

[ottawaoperadiva]

Tonight’s dinner was a tabouli.

Picked up my new Rx lenses in my old eyeglass and sunglass frames. My right had a jump in Rx strength. Will supposedly need cataract surgery in 10-15 years, according to the ophthalmologist. But for now, it’s good to be able to read more clearly.

Sockeye salmon with an orange-ginger glaze on top of Israeli couscous with sautéed sugar snap peas, red bell pepper and onions with dried marjoram alongside.

There was definitely wine.

Riff on hot wings, but dinner salad. Veg part has a ton of crunchies inc celery carrots radish etc, with garlicky rotisserie, garlic croutons, ranch, blue cheese vinaigrette, pickled onions, and franks!
