We’re on faux-cation at home this week. So I’m trying to make sure we get to enjoy summer’s bounty.
A glass of rosé, an ear of corn, and roasted beet salad rounded out our plates. I wanted to feel like we were in the South of France. Not bad at all.

Last night we hit a brewery patio and got dinner from the food truck: I had a pork loin bun and sesame-ginger slaw, DH had a Penang chicken curry, and the kiddo had lemongrass chicken over rice with hoisin. He ate some but found it too “spicy” to fill up on, and had a half turkey sandwich and fruit at home. We persist…

Doing well, and there is no lockdown here …
Everything is open.
MASKS ARE COMPULSORY (and “fine-able” if you do not respect the law).
We have some EU Tourists however, better check, as North Americans are prohibited UNLESS THEY HAVE SPANISH RESIDENCY CARDS AND LIVE IN SPAIN.
Check with your Consulate before buying airline tickets to Spain.
This can continue until 2021 …
We are only accepting tourists with low rate of Covid as is Italia.
Sorry ! However, it is a protective and preventive measure as we had suffered greatly here and lost alot of lives.
Have a nice summer.

Wanted something simple, and had half a head of garlic to use up, so Roasted Garlic Chicken & Potatoes that has a maple syrup drizzle halfway through.
Steamed green beans alongside. And wine. Because it’s my Friday. Not that that matters anymore.

I made smoked boneless pork loin “ribs” with Spicewalla tarragon-mustard rub, baked beans, red cabbage “Uzbek-style” slaw with the leftover roasted beets in vinaigrette tossed in, and leftover marinated cucumbers. I had trouble eating because of a mouth issue and passed on half the veg portions.

Gracias! Yes, fresh yuca. Incredibly easy to work with. So delicious!
Well, where are you from or I should ask, where do you reside ?

There is no lockdown in Spain since May 15th.
However, no Americans are allowed into Spain, unless they possess a Spanish Residency Card or a Spanish Passport. Same goes for Italy.
This shall continue in Spain, probably until 2021.

Northern California, near Napa, San Francisco, and Sacramento, ( I’m guessing at least on of those is familiar). My daughter lives in Queens, NY (which is where I’m from originally), and I believe I must quarantine for two weeks if I want to visit her there.

So happy that Mo Weber has been liberated from confinement in the garage!
Tried out a new local sausage with Weber yesterday. Our son the Meatcutter told us the rep for the sausage said it was unique–a mash up of Italian and Polish meats and spices. Chuckled that there wasn’t directions for grilling. It got grilled; along with a few ears of COTC.
Mixed verdict upon tasting: DW & son really liked it. I thought it was nearly inedible.

Here you go. I love this stuff on pork, chicken, avocado toast, shrimp, veggies, whatever. Easy to double or triple. I keep it mixed up and on hand all the time:
1/4 C brown sugar
2 T chili powder
2 T paprika
1 T cumin
1/2 t cayenne
1 t garlic powder
2 t salt
2 t ground pepper
