Recovery cooking for my mom continues! Lobsters were on sale, so I made stuffing with shrimp and scallops (Bell’s added to some caramelized onions), served with Assyrtiko and a baked potato. Was a real pick-me-up!

Korean rice bowl with rice (duh!), marinated beef, pan-seared asparagus, fried egg, sriracha, and my favorite sprinkle of crushed sesame seeds, chili powder, and salt.
ETA: I add boiled cider to the traditional beef marinade (FWIW).

I enjoyed an excellent birthday dinner at James on Main, including hanger steak with crispy hasselback potatoes, braised kale, in a bordelaise sauce; Hokkaido scallops and littleneck clams, with red miso broth, lemongrass, wood fired baby bok choy and purple sweet potatoes; crispy duck spring rolls in peanut sauce; coral tooth mushroom yellow curry and forbidden rice with spiced pumpkin seeds; crispy hand cut fries. It all went great with an excellent malbec and cabernet.

Golden Diner Tuna Melt take two! (Remembered the potato chips this time.) And some absolutely killer asparagus with tarragon sauce.

Your dinner looks great! Please tell me more about the peppers. Are they pickled? Marinated? I would love to get DH some of these pepper seeds for Xmas, but I should have a plan as to how to deal with the harvest.

Thank You!
And the BF’s dinner tonight, totally stealing my thunder yet again. Duck legs confit from Bi-Rite that we’d had in the freezer (cryovacked) for a REALLY LONG TIME, duck-fat roasted potatoes, and asparagus with an fabulous vinaigrette of his own devising - Dijon and yellow mustards, shallots soaked in champagne vinegar, S&P, evoo, and a touch of horseradish. So good! Taters were so very crunchy outside, really fluffy inside, the duck had the requisite crispy skin, and the meat was tender and not at all dry. A little cheapo Montepulciano with.

that looks marvelous!
we had asparagus too, and while i usually don’t like the thin ones, they turned out great, especially with the vinaigrette.
but your tuna melt looks really amazing!
excellent bowl! what did you marinate the beef in? gochujang? it looks great.
wow- that’s a fabulous looking dinner! Hoping your mom recovers quickly but gets more great meals like this one.

Thank you! Beef was marinated in soy, sesame oil, sugar, garlic, scallion, sherry, and (my addition) boiled cider.
