Tonight’s dinner was Honey Garlic Chicken over rice topped with chopped broccoli. (recipe from Kitchen Sanctuary - YouTube) I wish I had sprinkled a few white sesame seeds on top. I’ll add that to my copy of the recipe for next time.

those brochettes are mouth-watering!
Thanks, they tasted good but they were a tad overcooked.

Thank you. I really tried this time - I’m usually not that careful but I had company for dinner.

Panuozzo with sausage, provolone, and broccoli rabe sautéed with garlic. I’d used broccolini before for this combo and broccoli rabe is much better - the bitterness and leafiness go well with the pork and provolone.

Our first BLTs of the year. Heirloom tomato, Martin’s potato bread, kewpie, iceberg, Wegmans’ thick sliced bacon. Did not suck.
We each had a side salad of iceberg, flavor bombs, Persian cukes, celery, parsley — mine with TJ’s and Aldi’s buttermilk ranch, his with blue cheese dressing.

It was 
. So that means scallops! 
Not the best sear (use a bit of oil, not butter, Linda! but I also think they were “wetter” than they should have been for “dry scallops”, which is my bad for buying them anyway) but they were still good. On toasted Israeli couscous with a mango salsa and asparagus.
V&L alongside.

Ate at Eight4Nine in Palm Springs with DD today. Don’t eat out often and I’m happy to report this was a very successful experience. The restaurant has a nice patio, but 102° temps were not conducive to patio dining.
I had the fried chicken sandwich with spicy slaw, honey, and house made pickles on a brioche roll. It came with fries but I opted for a side salad. Beverage was watermelon lemonade. The sandwich was perfection and I can’t recall a better one. All the components worked to create an harmonious flavor bomb. Will definitely be getting that again. DD had a Cobb Salad with a watermelon margarita. She enjoyed both. I’m pleased to report the leftover sandwich was just as good straight out of the fridge.

I am a firm believer in iceberg for BLTs.

These gatherings are always a great event. Now, how was the fishing?
I’m of the opionion of the BLT bread MUST be lightly toasted.

Yes. My high school used to serve them untoasted. Wrapped in wax paper and stacked on a shelf.

This again. I whimped out and only added half a seeded serrano pepper.

Medium-rare bavette steak, and corn in a pool of butter. The corn was blurry because I shot it in food mode. I still have to figure out how to use it.

We enjoyed another excellent dinner at Fiorentini Restaurant in Rutherford, NJ, including shrimp fregula with pesto sauce; corn gnocchi with truffle sauce; halibut puttanesca; roasted bone marrow with onion bacon crostini; salumi; scallop crudo; ‘crabinara’; It all went great with an excellent cabernet and Shiraz.
