Lobster was on sale again at Shop Rite, so we enjoyed more steamed lobster with drawn butter and old bay seasoning. Mrs. P also made baked figs topped with gorgonzola and reduced balsamic.
She also made another beautiful salad (like last week), consisting of the same ingredients (heirloom tomatoes, asparagus, burrata, toasted pine nuts, fresh basil, reduced balsamic), plus prosciutto di parma.

I had a hot dog and leftover potato salad for lunch so I wasn’t very hungry. Shrimp and spinach salad. Argentine shrimp was sauteed in garlic butter, red onion, cherry tomatoes, avocado, honey mustard dressing.

Uptopic, @linguafood mentioned porcini cream (in jars). I found some locally, and I used it to make a savory custard with egg and grated Romano. Tossed with TJ cacio e pepe ravioli, topped with very juicy sous-vide poached chicken.

Very nice, indeed!
Looks like the opposite of your fish to rice ratio, tho

Ernie, that looks/sounds spectacular! Where did you find the porcini cream locally?
Hidden on a bottom shelf at Berkeley Bowl West. I had to ask the staff to help me find it–on the rack of “specialty” items facing the organic produce section. I have a feeling it’s on its way out, since it was discounted from $10 to $8.50. I did a Google search, and it’s also available at Market Hall Foods in Oakland, maybe not the same brand.
That looks just like it should! Nice.
I think that if the Pasta was a bit thinner(hard to tell from the Photo) you would have the Authentic Tagliatelle al Ragù (Bolognese).
Actually I think since it is Egg Pasta it is more Tagliatelle than Fettuccini by default

The first actual summer day before more terrible weather tomorrow had us scoot up northeast for more shopping: asparagus, Annabelle potatoes & parsley from the FM for Sunday night’s dinner, sourdough, another dress, another skirt, another shirt from my new favorite store that’s still having a sale 
My dood practically demanded pre-dinner brews at the beer garden near us, and who am I to argue with that?
Dinner was just various leftovers and bits & bobs from the fridge that needed finished up since we’re leaving for Bella Italia on Tuesday.
The last of the marinated eggplant and zuke.
Burrata caprese with honey tomatoes.
And the money shot for @mariacarmen. So creamy 
Lahmaçun from last night.
Dürüm döner.
