I’m sorry you are under the weather @ccj. I hope you feel better soon. That is a beautiful looking char on the duck breast, and those oven roasted potatoes in duck fat look delicious as well!

The historical society board I serve on had its annual flea market today. My friend and I were on grill duty as usual. Nearly 500 hot dogs, brats, sausage and peppers (not pictured), etc. The “lunch” rush started at 10:30 am and lasted straight through to the end at 4 pm. I need a drink!

Most “order” I’ve seen on a grill in some time.

We made Ed Lee’s miso and bourbon-smothered chicken thighs in the IP (we do b/s), served with brown rice and black vinegar and butter-glazed zucchini and long beans.

Fish curry and rice for early dinner / late lunch. Hit the spot, but a bit meh on flavor - too “smooth” if that makes any sense.

Going out for cocktails and bites later.

I’ve been wanting to cook from his book for a while now…
It’s really great! Love the accompanying writing, too.
Would you want to start a discussion topic?

That would be fun! But I’m not there yet on getting ready to cook from it… probably a couple of weeks away.
I’ll happily contribute later if you want to start one now, seems a lot of people love that book!

Thank you for the kind wishes, Christina.
Big pan of qeema to use up some of my chile pepper harvest, which currently includes cayenne, sonechko (sweet) and palmyra (sweet). I have some Szegdi and Piment d’esplette as well, but I’m planning to dry those. Still waiting for a few other varieties to ripen. Raita and steamed broccoli to cool things off.

Good visit with Mom.
Good shopping for Mom afterwards.
Good shopping at Wegmans.
(Mostly wine. Like duh.)
Good non-traffic throughout my travels.
Good dinner.
Seared scallops in saffron cream sauce, basmati rice and steamed asparagus. And some of the aforementioned wine. Like duh. 
Am going to dive into “Carnival Row” on Amazon Prime and see how it plays out. Reviews have been mixed.
