Would it help if you diversified what you buy at the store? I buy a lot of meat all at once - what is on sale typically - and stick it in my freezer. Then as ideas percolate, I take those out of the freezer the day before and thaw them. At any given moment, I usually have 6 or 7 different cuts and preps of chicken, beef, pork at home, with the random seafood or lamb thrown in.

Had some leftovers from the bbq yesterday so I repurposed some of the hot dogs for a Jersey favorite; Italian Hot Dogs! I used a Portuguese roll vs pizza bread but still mighty tasty just the same. I think this is a regional NY/NJ thing am I correct?

I went to H Mart for the first time today. Wow! We enjoyed some awesome crispy seasoned and fried baby crabs. Mrs. P also made whole red snapper stuffed with fresh herbs, capers, and vermouth sauce. She also made some fresh corn.

My birthday dinner. Beefeater rocks with tipsy onions and a soupçon of brine.
Seared scallops, mushroom risotto and a salad of greens, red pear, bleu cheese, pistachios, cranberry vinaigrette dressing. There was wine. Dessert was roasted fig, with sour cream, date syrup and more pistachios.

Home again. Thanks for all the well wishes for our anniversary! It was a great time.
BF made gorgeous small plates for us from the weekend’s leftovers for tonight’s dinner: thinly sliced rib eye (so tender!), sliced weisswurst, toasted baguette, slice of tortilla de patata with crema, assorted olives and cherry peppers, small salad with vinaigrette. I’m biased, but i’m always impressed how prettily he can arrange things. I could never have done that. Just the right amount too.
May chase that later with a cocktail and more Cheetos though… 
glad i took tomorrow off too!
