Looks like a pretty cool city.

Open face Italian tuna and tomato sammich, topped with pickled red onions on toasted baguette.
I added hot sauce, chopped stuffed green olives and pickled jalapenos + a touch of Hellman’s mayo to the tuna.
I’ll have salad tomorrow

YOWZA!!! Your food selection on your street alone is amazing. Glad you finally got there, got some rest, and enjoy sampling it all over the next several months.

Tonight I made braised pulled chicken thighs served up on whole wheat buns with buffalo wing sauce, homemade blue cheese, lettuce, and finely chopped celery. Some leftover broccoli cheese pilaf and a big green salad.

A quiet Cinco de Mayo at home tonight. I made a giant enchilada casserole with purchased green chile salsa, cheese, and shrimp (cooked with olive oil, cumin, Mexican oregano, onion, garlic, serrano chiles, tomato, and cream that needed to be used up). This will probably feed us through Thursday! There is also a batch of Rancho Gordo moro beans I braised with sausage and beer, but I think that’s going to end up being mostly lunches this week.

It was pretty magical in ‘65. (cough I was … underage. Cough). Unlike any other European city I visited that summer. A lonnnggg time ago.

Beloved by many (including me), NYT’s Lemony Shrimp and Bean Stew. Heavily seasoned with paprika, lemon, and garlic, it’s an easy and tasty dish. I used Tarbais beans, and because I had no nice leeks on hand, subbed onion. No harm done. Served with focaccia and a few spears of garden-to-table asparagus.

Turkey Adana kababs from the other day broiled for a bit more char, long hot peppers, Turkish lentil soup with urfa pepper and cumin-infused brown butter, and “noodley rice” inspired by @jiaozi.
Supplemented by garlic yogurt and fermented Calabrian chile sauce.

The BF’s bucatini alla vodka sauce. He followed a Kenji recipe tonight and we both found that, because it called for putting in the (small amount) of vodka near the end of the cooking time, it had a slight bitterness to it. He told me he’d made himself some while i was gone, not following a recipe, but added a LOT of vodka which he cooked down again and again, and that he loved. I tasted the sauce tonight without the vodka too, and I think next time he should do the same again - cook the vodka in low and slow. In any case, this was still a delicious dinner, and i had a couple more forkfuls right from the pot on the stove.

Vegetable Cashew Biryani from RecipeTin’s Delicious Tonight - as she writes in the intro that it’s perhaps not a classic preparation but captures the values very well. Made with butternut squash, zucchini, cauliflower, chickpeas, peas, basmati rice, onions, garlic, ginger, sirarakhong chile, turmeric, coriander, garam masala, cinnamon, bay leaves, cardamom, star anise and vegetable broth. Finished with roasted cashews, cilantro, fried onions and ghee. Served with yogurt with mint and lemon juice

Probz in my top 5 NYT recipes.
Had a chance to look over it today. 's a’ight, but it seems to hit many of the same clichés we’ve been reading about forever.
The Gemüse kebab is overrated, but some people will get in line for anything if it’s hyped enough

I managed with some help from the roomate to make flank steak fajitas for dinner. I started the meat marinade in the morning and cut up all the veg when I got back at 6pm. Dinner was ready at 6:45 pm with the roomate grilling and me cooking up the veg. Then he was off to work and me to clean up. Skinny virgin margaritas were served. Darn, the camera was there, but did I use it, no! Quite the quiet Cinco de Mayo compared to the way we’d go all out in the past. Slowing down.
