Tonight I made Caldo de Repollo with chicken breast, served over tricolor quinoa and topped with cilantro, lime, avo, and chili flake.
Lots of leftovers!

Tonight’s dinner had an excellent deliciousness to effort ratio. Merguez pan-roasted with tomatoes and cannellini in garlic oil with artichokes, which I have had bookmarked since @LulusMom1 mentioned it a couple of times - really fabulous, if you like the ingredients I urge you not to wait as long as I did to make it. Thrilled to have the other half of it for lunch tomorrow with some tomatoes and feta.

Salmon Caesar. While (possibly) y’all are tired of seeing it, we’re most definitely not tired of eating it. Our go-to. Here with a nice, scallion-roasted BC King salmon., and homemade dressing and croutons.

We enjoyed another sensational dinner at That Supper Club pop up dinner in Park Ridge, NJ, including a decadent A5 wagyu topped with uni and black truffles on crispy milk bread; clams casino; wagyu beef and spicy sausage lasagna; 40 day dry aged filet mignon; lobster cappelletti; miso black cod; shrimp toast; octopus; excellent east coast oysters with a fermented ramp mignonette; flavorful roasted beef bone brodo; warm bread pudding with espresso caramel for dessert. It all went great with an excellent Malbec and Shiraz. The menu at the end has all of the specific details.

If it makes you happy, then that’s all that’s important! And also, that’s probably one of my favourite salads. Bon apetit!

Last night was the makeup date for our Sichuan jour fixe I had to postpone last week due to my PIC’s crud and small numbers. We came back with a vengeance and had SEVENTEEN hongry eaters — roughly half of my chile head group 
As per usual, I took care of ordering for everyone: garlic cukes with a nice whisper of heat, but still don’t come close to my gold standard,
very cuminy cumin lamb (coulda used a bit more salt for this fiend here),
garlic eggplant (a group favorite),
Chongqing chicken,
dry-fried green beans,
Sichuan shredded beef (very salty, good heat level),
fiery vegetarian mapo tofu for our two vegan chile heads,
and fish dry pot.
A member insisted I order another chicken dish with 3 peppers that barely got finished, but I aim to please — always
So nice to catch up with everyone — tough to get together during December when everyone’s busy with end of semester stuff & various social obligations.
Dranks after at the gay bar with a couple of chile heads. My first drink was a seasonal cocktail, White Lady in a Big Red Suit that was on the sweeter side,
but I liked it anyway. That angostura foam was thiccc and deleccctable

Tasty but not particularly photogenic: farfalle with sausage, greens and the last artichokes (leftover from my beans and artichokes adventure) in a peppery, lemony cream sauce.
