Sunday, Ssssspicy Sssssunday 
! Popped into the gym for a quick leg workout, then had practice with my bandmates to add a few new songs for the last gig before I head to Berlin 
Dinner was easy-peasy, as I had almost all the ingredients in the house, save for an extra red pepper & frozen peas that I sent my boo out to get, having overlooked that we already had a bag in the freezer 
I made Indian coconut curry with black tiger shrimp, peas, and red & green peppers over basmati rice. It was not nearly as spicy as Iâd hoped for, despite using generous amounts of the hot curry paste & adding dried Kashmiri chile as well, but the raita I made roughly a week (?) ago was still good & as fiery as the first day, so that kicked things up to a satisfying level 
Might have to have some honey mangoes for dessert.

Made a BIG pot of meat sauce today, since my downstairs freezer didnât have any and was very sad. 
Saved some sauce for dinner.
Sketti and sawce with grated Parm-Reg, a salad of Little Leaf red and green lettuces, grated carrots, sliced and quartered radishes, tossed in a fine herbes vinaigrette with homemade garlic croutons on top. Crusty buttered roll alongside.
Some Borsao Garnacha red as the wine, since I had opened it for a quick sploosh into the sauce. Itâs my wine for making sangria, per the recipe from the late owner of Dali, and is a nice fruit-forward red great for sangria, but mild enough with low tannins for a drinkable glass.

I wasnât very hungry for dinner after a little cheese tasting this afternoon, so I just had some honeycrisp apple and seared seasoned tofu. Hit the spot.

We recently returned from two weeks in Morocco. On the last night there someo of us went to a rooftop cooking class. I decided to make the delicious Chicken Tajine with Preserved Lemons and Green Olives we had there. I donât have a tajine but my 14 inch Staub cast iron pan and some aluminum foil worked fine.

BFâs steakhouse dinner. We had a choice top sirloin steak in the freezer that had been languishing - and I didnât really want to do anything with it - so he decided to tenderize it (Adolphâs) and serve it with chimichurri, shrooms, marinated artichokes, buttery potatoes, and grilled tomatoes. The steak was still a bit tough, of course, but very flavorful, beefy, and a perfect medium rare. We could only eat half of it. i think the rest will soon become tacos.
And I made a chicken green chile/cilantro/potato dish for tomorrow nightâs dinner.

it doesnât happen often with me, either. just wasnât a great cut. Plus, the BFâs got dental issues, so Iâm surprised he ate as much as he did. i told him he should have just let me get us a rib eye!

I made pizza dough with my sourdough discard, which came out very wet (I have no idea what the hydration of the discard is) and hard to work with. So rather than flour it up, I wet my hands and shaped it into a flat disc.
I was not displeased with the result. With tomato, mozzarella, mushrooms and wild arugula.

Fusion!
It came out wellâŠitâs always different each time I make it! A good day to make it since yesterday was windy, gray and a bit on the cooler side. Plus the house smelled SO good with it simmering for several hours.

A sunny and warm day before temps drop yet again 
& a lot of rain in the forecast, so our favorite beer garden beckoned to grab a couple of late afternoon Kölsch with one of my gal pals. The early beers combined with my tiny lunch had my stomach growl earlier than usual, so I sent my boo to the food truck to pick up our Blue Plate Special 
The simple cheeseburger from the kids menu appealed to me the most, but I wasnât sure that Iâd qualify (despite my childlike disposition ). I also donât think he was listening anyway bc he came back with a double smashburger w/ grilled onions, scallion aioli and Swiss (I hate Swiss), plus two pulled pork sliders.
The burger was a grease bomb, but not in a bad way. The scallion aioli managed to cover up some of that stupid cheese choice & it was cooked to MR.
The pork sliders were overall too sweet for me.
Earliest dinner in recent history! Almost beat @PedroPero
