We walked around the 5th annual Latin Festival that was taking place downtown with lots of different food stands, university clubs, and live music, thankfully without any incidences.
Grabbed lunch there, then swung by a popup vintage market a couple blocks over, where a local hot sauce stand was hawking its products. We brought home a bottle of a deliciously fruit-forward, Caribbean-inspired Piña Colada hot sauce.
(The CC walnut cookie was from a different stand & not as good as our favorite Turkish baker)
We’d originally invited two of our single friends for grilled fish and veg on the patio followed by a fire, but one came down with some crud, the other had to go to PGH on short notice (we immediately assumed it was something to help out his ex ), so no cooking at casa lingua tonight
Instead, we ordered some takeout sashimi with a side order of rice,
and I air-fried a buncha shrimp tossed in Penzey’s Northwoods seasoning and avocado oil, squirted with fresh lime juice after they came out & served with the hot sauce from the popup event mixed together with the Viet kumquat hot sauce: a very good combo
Easy peasy citrus squeezy Saturday meal.
