A gorgeous day in Happy Valley. The sky seemed a bluer shade, the sun brighter, and the last of the brilliantly colorful leaves are tumbling to the ground. Ah, fall

Had my final session with my personal trainer, where she mostly showed me stretches for my
shoulder to tide me over until my surgery in January. And now my PIC and I both are on our own at the gym ![]()
As for WFD, my OG plans to make that golden tilefish filet from our fishie freezer stash were shattered by the discovery that it’s only half a pound, which is not enough — even for this heavily diet-conscious household
. The Arctic Char and halibut filets, OTOH, were too large for just the two of us, so we’re saving those for future company.
This meant going back to the drawing board & checking my ideas in the planning thread.
By late afternoon it had also gotten increasingly cloudy and chilly, and I’d lost my mojo to make anything “involved,” — not even a salad ![]()
We’d been meaning to try a new Korean fried chicken chain forEVAH, so that solved the dinner dilemma (and was on the agenda for this week, anyway).
I made a side dish with my frozen summer corn with scallions, cilantro & the remaining half of a grafitti pepper I had in the crisper, plus a Serrano pepper we probably didn’t need, bc the chicken had quite the kick, and the corn provided no relief for our tongues ![]()
The chicken thighs were very crispy and tender, the garlic sauce we got on the side was highly reminiscent of BTB roasted garlic that someone had added a tsp of water to
, the sweet & spicy sauce was pleasantly not very sweet & also packed a nice punch.
And now we have MOAR leftovers in the fridge. Dang ![]()
