A lightened-up version of chicken cordon bleu with steamed asparagus and lemon juice on the side.
Instead of stuffing, rolling, breading and frying the chicken, it’s served open-faced with prosciutto, Dijon mustard and mozzarella cheese. Adapted from:

That sounds great. Was it good?
I do a modified version, pan fried chicken breast that are sliced thin dipped in egg, sweet potato flour, then panko :parmesan 2:1, then mozzarella and parmesan on top, oven for a few minutes until cheese melts. This is Kenji Lopez recipe and his sauce that takes 6 hours to cook but I usually cook a batch freeze what ever I do not need.

Epic travel day yesterday since i spent a few hours in the airport in austin texas and then it’s an hour and half drive from where i land to my parents’ house.
Iced espresso with soy and biscoff waiting for my luggage
My nephew came along to pick me up because there was a promise of In n Out- i shared some fries with my mom, i thought the aftermath of my nephew’s early dinner was comical
I just had wine -the stem glasses scare me, they’re crazy delicate- and then i put a serious dent in the gorgeous strawberries that grow about a ten minute drive away, so they’re picked when they’re actually ripe.

A lazy day.
Woke up late (9:30 a.m.)
Late breakfast (11:30 a.m.)
Watched Youtube videos.
Read.
Changed the bed.
Did laundry.
Finally cooked.
Realized I hadn’t made my Dad’s satay this summertime season, so that’s WWFD tonight: grilled chicken and veggie (onion, red bell pepper, sugar snap peas) skewers with satay sauce, on top of basmati rice. There was wine.

Looks great!
First trip, we had only one night in NC and it just had to be BBQ. Can’t recall the name of the place but I do recall that, when we were returning in 2013, I checked to see if it was still open - but it wasnt.
On the second trip[, we ate at Seven Sows (now closed I think but a really good farm to table place) and Tupelo Honey (also really good eats - I’d wanted to eat there on the first trip . But, NC BBQ, you know).
Saturday I went to friends’ home for a paella party. I made pan con tomate (made several batches but still have a ton of tomatoes!) and someone else made champignones al ajillo. Lots of sangria and red wine to wash it all down. Paella was all seafood and wonderfully flavored.
Last night I made a giant rib eye that the BF and I split, corn on the cob slathered in Kerrygold, and huge FM heirloom tomatoes with fat globs of burrata. I’m going to miss all this corn!

Cow’s tongue is pretty expensive here in NYC…generally $10 to $11 / pound.
Thus a typical “Lengua” @ 3 1/2 lbs is about $35.00…
Today I went to one of the four or five supermarkets I generally shop at.
This one in particular is great for their fish. My “monger” reacts with a head shake if I ask what is good after I have picked some up…a very reliable system…I bought fresh tuna for tonight …
I then moved next door to the meat department , for which generally I only buy center cut pork chops and chicken breasts …enough said…I was looking for some lamb shanks or lamb neck…but I came across a package of Cow Heart priced at @2.99 / lb…
On second look it was Tongue! I found three packages of tongue with a total weight of about 11 pounds marked as “heart”…total cost at the register less than $32.00
The cost @ $10/lb should have been at least $100.
When I asked the worker restocking the meat cases , and showing him the package if the “heart” was $2.99…he rolled his eyes and said yes!
My guess is that he , the worker deliberately incorrectly marks the package at the wrong content and price and then has someone in his family or friend , buy the meat at a ridiculously low price…
BTW…not the first time I have had this happen to me…All of the other “Lenguas” in the case were marked at the correct price… of $9.99
So my comment…if the package is marked heart, why then would you not place the package in the with the Hearts? Why would I find the hearts with the tongues?..
The picture is that of the tongue which is in the pot boiling…one is in the freezer and one went home with the housekeeper.
Three Lengaus…$30 bucks…“Tacos de Lenguas” priceless!
