Grilled cheese, a la the recently updated Serious Eats Story., with pepper jelly and jamon.
I guess that’s what I’d do when the husband is away!
Oysters arrive tomorrow!

Here’s the pork roast and the carrots/peppers I roasted yesterday. Reheated those in a little splash of heavy cream and a few shavings of fresh nutmeg. Also made fregola (Sardinian round pasta) - sauteed thinly sliced shallots and minced thyme in TPST of butter, then tossed the fregola into that and TPST of parm/pecorino, with a little minced parsley. Good stuff!
Using shoulder for the pork roast was def the way to go.

Mostly Grassy Bar Oysters from Giovanni. I also got some Pacific.
I should probably go down to the place that was recommended, I think in the Mission District in SF. I would in a heart beat if husband was driving.

Tonight we were celebrating daughter’s 11th birthday. After a weekend of festivities and excitement, tonight (a school night) she wanted to have a birthday dinner at home. She picked the menu: steaks, crispy Brussels sprouts, roasted cauliflower and crunchy chickpeas, roasted broccoli and baby new potatoes. Chocolate lava cakes for dessert.
It all turned out great. Particularly for a weeknight, leaving the city early enough to get home to cook and celebrate. The ribeyes from the specialty butcher were truly exceptional and were cooked stovetop on screaming hot cast iron to each of our desired temperature (med rare to medium).
Now relaxing with a glass of 2008 Cabernet (the year of her birth) with hubby, toasting our sweet, special girl.

I LOVE the shoulder. I wish I could make mine look like that. . I have to get “country style ribs” since I’d be eating it alone. Do you know if it was “Boston”, “butt” or picnic"? Where I am, the picnic has the skin, so probably not.
“Best” for pork roast. in the UK.

Oops I did it again (no photo). But so good. I was inspired by some reading I’d been doing on local steakhouses. Steak, winter squash puree, sauteed maple bacon brussels sprouts, cheesy rice and kale bake with crunchy breadcrumb topping. Oh yeah.

i’m not sure, but it looked like country style ribs, in that it was a very flat piece, and just under 2 lbs. probably butt, but again, a very small one.

hm! i don’t know of a place in the Mission, except Sun Fat, which is about 3 blocks from my house… https://www.yelp.com/biz/sun-fat-seafood-company-san-francisco
6 dozen! Enjoy!
I think it WAS Sun Fat that was recommended in the original “six dozen” post.
This time I only got three dozen.
Do you rent out your driveway? I heard some folks around SFO do.

Vietnamese Caramel Salmon (coho), Rice & Mushroom
I made it @ChristinaM. I don’t have a PC or IP. Browned the skin side (still working on getting skin crisp in the all-clad. more crispy fish skin crumbles
) and cooked the other side in the sauce. The only other difference was I had no coconut oil and mixed unsweetened coconut cream w/grapeseed oil.
Okay, so, you can look at a photo and a recipe and love it, but you can’t smell the aroma from a photo. This is probably the most fragrant dish I’ve ever made!
Husband loved it.
Sides were ordinary 365 Rice and nice Shroom Medley
