Looks great! I love lamb but havenât had any luck finding some that still tastes of, well, lamb. Hopefully yours had flavour.
I might need to steal that dinner idea for tomorrow. I love pasta with asparagus. A nice, crispy chicken thigh on the side - yup, perfect.
Oh, good. It was kinda an ad hoc thing. Lots of red pepper flakes and lemon juice didnât hurt.

Eating through more of last yearâs fish stash. I bought a large bunch of Thai Basil at H Mart specifically to make Thai Basil Fish. I sauteed shallots, garlic and jalapenos (because my thai chilies were to mushy) and once brown, the fish went in. The sauce is a mix of fish sauce, kecap manis, oyster sauce, sugar and white pepper. Lots of fresh basil was roughly chopped and added last. Served with a riff on @linguafoodâs (really Mr Linguafoodâs) bok choy made with nappa cabbage and bamboo shoots.

Turkey Neck (from the tracking expenses thread), Baked Potato and Peas.
Sunshine really enjoyed her Turkey Neck, although the knife and fork approach didnât last long, as she went full caveman on the thing.

Hah! Not for dinner tonight. I mentally blocked out todayâs trip to the dentist. Two fillings means no crispy chicken for me. Sigh. Tomorrow looks hopeful, though.

Best of luck at the dentist! 
Weâre likely to make this plate again before the asparagus runs out.

We have it always in the fridge
Went with a salad tonight: Little Leaf red and green lettuces, a couple of quartered HBEs, shaved carrots, sliced cuke and radish, goat cheese, dried cranberries, homemade croutons, and my Maple-Balsamic Vinaigrette (drizzled on after the pic was taken).
And even though I had 2 days off last week, Iâm looking forward to another long weekend.

I picked up m first CSA of the season today! I got a lovely basket of veggies this week and it looks like Iâm going to eat well this summer. As I was organizing my fridge to make room for this weekâs basket I found a few pre CSA veggies that needed to be finished up so I stirfried them and served them over spaghetti.

New England style chowder with BC halibut and king salmon, and a few Indonesian farm-raised shrimp for good measure. Focaccia. Cucumbers in vinaigrette.
Plenty of leftover chowder â a good thing!

It was going to be Spanish tortilla, using duck eggs bought from a new neighbour, but that didnât happen. One of the egg whites had a slight greenish teal tinge to it. Very pretty, but when I looked it up, the possibility of pseudomonas bacteria was the first thing to come up. Pseudomonas, I learned, fluoresce under blacklight, so I shone the light on the egg and it did fluoresce. Unfortunately, the egg was already on top of the other tortilla ingredients, so the whole thing got thrown in the organics bin, anything coming into contact with it was doused in rubbing alcohol and wiped, and the dishes used put on the hot cycle in the dishwasher with more detergent than usual, then cycled through on a short wash to rinse off any extra detergent.
CRACK YOUR EGGS INTO A BOWL BEFORE YOU USE THEM!!! I normally do, but gapped on that today and paid for it.
So, dinner was a fried chicken egg sandwich with sausage and cheese on a freezer croissant.
Edit to add: the chicken eggs were from a reputable farmer that Iâve been getting them from for years, without incident.

Iâve had this recipe for the Golden Dinerâs tuna melt lying around for probably years. Tonight I actually made it!
Pretty good! Despite me not having pickles or onion powder and kinda screwing up the bread (Iâm having bread troubles).
