DD1 came down for dinner last night, bringing our wonderful grand dogs with her. We hadn’t seen the boys in awhile & Ive missed them. So, very nice evening. We had wild caught Pacific Coho salmon, two ways: lemon, dill and caper sauce, and the other teriyaki style. COTC, zucchini & yellow squash with sweet onion. Beer for DD1, Chardonnay for me. All delicious. Leftover salmon went home with DD1.
Oh, moved away BFF sent me a belated b-day gift, pictured center of table. Love it!

Very impressed. You’re redefining the word limit.
Hope you’re doing fine with the generator.

It’s been awhile since I’ve visited here so tonight was dinner with The Murphy’s. We have pork chop Murphy over angel hair with home made potato chips (because when you have a 22 year old son carbs is the 6th food group), chicken murphy over angel hair (for the ladies) & a pork chop sans pasta for me. Delicious though a pain in the ass.
Everyone’s food looks great! Keep it up peeps!

Gah! The ribs are STEAMED!
I still see noodles 
.
Looking good despite the circumstances! Hang in there - my folks and other family are in the Bay within a few miles of various fires, and I have the feeling they’re not as well prepped as you (think those two cans of spam way back somewhere in the pantry)!

Kimchi Reubens tonight - chopped up my homemade kimchi, blended with mayo, gochugaru, a little sugar. Spread that on half the buttered, grilled TJs pumpernickel. Defrosted/warmed corned beef i’d made at my sister’s weeks ago, sliced thin, topped that with slices of swiss. Grilled in butter until swoony/melty. Tasted exactly like a Reuben except with a little kick. The corn: sauteed FM corn kernels in butter, sprinkled with gochugaru, sesame oil, a little Maggi, hot chili oil, and chopped cilantro. New favorite corn prep. slices of a fat FM heirloom tomato, with Maldon salt, balsamic, and a peppery Spanish olive oil.

Burgers and bourbon night (well, for me anyway-- BF had chardonnay while I had Bulleit).
Broke in my new grill pan. Got it at Costco and it worked great. Large enough to do eight burgers or so across half the stove. Just American cheese on mine. He had cheese and bacon. Side of baked onion rings and macaroni salad.

I made it. It was very easy. I used Mike Solomonov’s recipe from Israeli Soul. I want to try Adeena Susman’s recipe from Sababa as it is very different (uses green mango versus ripe, calls for fish sauce). I have nothing to compare my amba to so have no idea how “authentic” it is but it really doesn’t matter to me. I like it and that’s what I care about.

Mushroom bonanza tonight - I was so hungry I forgot to take a picture of my plate. 
There were fresh trumpet / king oyster and shiitake mushrooms and dried porcini, all courtesy a pandemic online shopping spree.
I dry-sautéed the fresh mushrooms separately, and made a cream sauce with the dried and their soaking liquid, into which went tagliatelle. Finished with some white truffle salt and oil from a previous spree (that one was mine, for a birthday, and included fresh summer truffles).
Just delicious. I do love mushrooms.
