Please do! Sounds “interesting”! 
Maybe not. But do beware of limes!

Found a vat of Massaman curry paste when I organized my pantry cupboard a few days ago.
So I made chicken curry noodle soup for dinner, adding broccoli slaw and mushrooms, and using the pork stock I made with the rib bones last week. (Yes, that was me patting myself on the back.)
“Noodles” were actually squid ink spaghetti that TJs carries a while back and I got all excited over, but never got around to using. Also discovered in the cupboard reorg.
Pretty good, but I need to check how to make Massaman curry - the soup needed a lot of tweaking to make it taste the way I thought it should.

Golden beet salad with Agostino Recca white anchovies. Sous vide golden beets with the purple ones. Loved the way the color of the purple beet in fused it’s way into the golden .
Pasta with cuttlefish ink . Prawn with cayenne pepper salt . Really loved the subtle flavor of the cuttlefish ink pasta .

thanks. With most of his friends getting divorced or separated without even marriage, I wander if ever I will have a grandchild?

That pasta 
I hope there was enough of the pasta and prawns for me! (And '83 was a very good year!)

@Saregama Prawn batter was (roughly, since I eyeball) 1/3 AP flour, 1/3 rice flour, 1/3 cornstarch + enough seltzer to make a batter. This was moderately thin. Just less water if you want a thicker batter.

After a particularly difficult week decided to spoil ourselves with a nice home cooked meal. Surf and turf with a tomahawk rib eye and colossal crab meat stuffed lobsters. Sides of, sautéed broccoli - bourbon mushrooms - peppers and onions.
A martini for the chef! Honestly fantastic especially to share with the family.

Mattress and foundation purchased from Gardner Mattress. Decision assisted by a very large gift card I had received about 2 years ago for a different purpose which never happened. Delivery not until October 15th.
Other errands run, and dinner decided while running those errands.
Double cut country style bone-in ribs, seasoned with my favorite pork rub, covered with foil in a baking dish and slow oven-baked at 375° for 2 hours. Pork liquid drained (keeping it for “pork stock”) after uncovering, slathered with Dinosaur Roasted Garlic and Honey BBQ sauce, and put back into the oven at 300° for about 30 minutes, turning once and slathering some more BBQ sauce.
The lone side was Macaroni Coleslaw Salad, which I changed up a bit. I only used the coleslaw mix, minced red onion, and celery, and added chopped orange bell pepper and broccoli florets. Dressing was a mix of some Creamy Peppercorn dressing mix and Creamy Buttermilk Dressing mix, both from Penzeys, mixed with a Tbsp of vinegar to “bloom”, then it was all whisked with some mayo and sour cream with a healthy pinch of sugar. Not too bad!
Oh yes. There was wine. Need you even wonder? 
And Alfie likes when I empty out the paper recycling basket.

Dinner tonight was quick to prepare. A green salad and a seafood pie, one of the gift from our neighbours, back from vacation in Italy and south of France, for taking care of their cat and their garden during their absence.
Tielle from Sète (Languedoc), was delicious, it’s a humble fisherman pie made with octopus and tomato sauce, originated in Italy. Mine came from Cianni Macros, a 85-yr old shop specializing in this.

The Italian version uses pizza dough.

It looks great, and how lovely of your neighbors, to repay your kindness with food. I’m sure it ate well!

Thanks to @shrinkrap’s post about piperade I knew exactly what to make when I received an abundance of green, frying peppers from my CSA this week and then some home-grown peppers from a good friend. Made with CSA tomatoes and onions. I “followed” the NYT recipe posted in that thread. Since I didn’t have the piment d’Espelette called for in the recipe I used pimenton picante instead. Served with local sea bass lightly dusted with pimenton dulce.
The Sprout had the leftover piperade with eggs for breakfast the next day.

Yes, looks good, but were they “yard greens”?
Egg Foo Yung looks delish!
