Mrs. P made another spectacular dinner. She made guacamole and chips, deep fried soft shell crabs and shrimp, and BBQ Creole shrimp in the style of Mr. B’s in New Orleans. I could just take a bath in that sauce. It all went great with an excellent California red blend and Italian Primitivo.

Thank you 
Snacky dinner for me tonight.
I made bhel and sevpuri - aka “chaat” - early evening, because I’ve been craving it for a while. Attacked before pics, so Remains Of The Bhel (and half a plate of sevpuri):
Later I finished the tuna belly tartare from last night with some rice crackers.
Dessert was freshly baked chocolate chip cookies - chewy, crisp, so good, like a warm hug. Barely got a pic of the baked ones before they disappeared.

It’s HOT here, so to keep the heat out of the kitchen I fired up the smoker. Ribs! Sides TBD, but probably something raw/crunchy, maybe corn on the cob if I can summon the energy to run to the supermarket. Summer has arrived.

Well, just the lettuce. I’ve failed miserably at carrots and radishes in the past, so no starter plants of those anymore. But my tomato plants are doing well. Lots of flowers, so hopefully Patio and Ramapo tomatoes are in my future.

A porkalicious dinner.
Two big-ass Southern style pork ribs, seasoned with s/p, covered with foil, baked at 300° for 2 hours, uncovered, pork juice poured off, Dinosaur BBQ sauce slathered on, baked uncovered for another hour at 275°.
Sides were broccoli salad with raisins, cashews, amd crumbled crispy bacon, and potato salad with red onion, chives and MOAR BACON, and the rest of the honey-ginger vinaigrette from last night’s salad.
Wine.

Wow! Those look great. I’m assuming you didn’t sear them first…
So glad to hear! Laptop is much friendlier…
Ramen slaw! Color me interested
(Pigeon) peas and rice, meatballs, and tommorow I’ll add the pikliz.
Working on a cake with frosting but I’m exhausted.
This fathers day tasting menu feels like Thanksgiving.

For a lot of reasons, dinner tonight turned into a “What now” choice. I saw that we had fixin’s for Mac & Cheese… decided to go with that–making it a caloric bomb by using cream cheese as a base.

We had some more excellent takeout from Bistro D’Azur. We enjoyed melt in your mouth filet mignon with asparagus and Crispy Spanish chips; refreshing watermelon and feta salad; seafood salad. It all went great with an excellent Spanish priorat.

I am notorious for considering recipes merely suggestions. This was roughly:
Salad
3-4 c. shredded Napa cabbage (green works well, too)
1 lg. carrot, peeled and shredded
1 scallion, minced
1 apple peeled and shredded (totally optional)
1 c. snow pea pods, de-stringed and sliced thinly
Dressing - mix to taste:
Soy sauce
Rice vinegar
White sugar
ETA: Vegetable oil
Sesame oil
Splash of ponzu sauce
Minced ginger
s&p
Topping:
1/2 c. slivered almonds, toasted
1 package ramen, crushed (any variety - discard seasoning pack)
Dress the salad and chill; stir in almonds and ramen just before serving.
