Good recipe unfortunately, son does not eat mushroom

Nice looking catch of the day.

“Home alone” lead to snatching some veg from the fridge to combine with a portion of errant pasta, PA pot pie, resulted in a surprisingly decent plate. Sauteed zucchini, mushrooms, red onion, garlic, splat of marinara, pecorino. Good enough for me…

We enjoyed some more great takeout from Don Pepe ll al fresco. We enjoyed our usual seafood stuffed lobster and avocado, as well as ‘inauthentic’ paella Valenciana :grinning: It all went great with an excellent Malbec.

It was hazy/smoky today and chilly so I made summer corn chowder. Warm French rolls with butter and a tomato salad.

If you ever need a volunteer to come and eat lobster and spoil that adorable dog of yours and Mrs. P’s, I am here for that. :wink:

Last night’s dinner after I took a small portion out of the corner to taste before adding more sauce and cheese and baked further in. microwave. Pictures were not available to upload last night but this morning, the rest of the pictures with more sauce and cheese after further baking were missing.
Chicken lasagna using my home made pepper sauce of reconstituted dehydrated Chillie pods ( guajillo, mulato, hatch, ancho,) which I cooked with onions, garlic, tomato sauce and chicken broth for enchilada and vindaloo and kept in freezer in individual portions for use. The fillings were shredded poached chicken breast mixed with this sauce, caramelized onions and hatch’s roasted chilies from costco. topped with mixture of Costco’s shredded pecorino and parmesan cheese.
It was excellent

I have Mrs. P to thank for that :blush: She has such a green thumb and great eye for decorating. She created the best al fresco dining set up.

You have dined at some fabulous seaside settings with some delicious looking food. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
