May your mother’s memory be a blessing.
I am sure this time is bittersweet for you but you have such wonderful things to look forward to together. Can’t wait to see the pictures. Are you having the reception at the JBJ Soul Kitchen?

It’s so nice to have a friend who has a friend who is an avid tuna fisher. We were the lucky recipients of some freshly caught tuna yesterday - loin and belly. Needless to say, we went for a Japanese influenced dinner of tuna sashimi, sake-steamed wild shrimp, lightly pickled scallop sashimi and a cucumber salad. Everything was so fresh - in the ground or water less than 24 hours ago.

@PHREDDY Congratulations! Wishing you every happiness.
@Saregama Feel better soon! I see that, like me, you buy “convenience” food occasionally and end up doctoring it up anyway, kind of defeating the point.
Gorgeous!

Doesn’t frying in those carbon steel pans make a huge mess? I’ve thought about frying in them many times.
Superbly splendid shellfish and red tuna …
Have a lovely Sunday.

I normally fry in my kadhais - have a couple of small sizes. But for the fries, I needed a bit more floor space, and this 5" or so fry pan was perfect. Cold oil method - no mess.
I tried using the small Lodge CI pan last year when I was with family, and that was indeed a disaster. I ended up buying a small 8" curved pan similar to a kadhai or mini wok off Amazon, and everyone was converted to frying in that (except for large quantities of bhajias, for which the full size wok was necessary).

It’s not even noon and already 88 here. 
I just had enchiladas from a nice local Mexican restaurant down the street.

Just back from a week of wine tasting in the Finger Lakes. We ate insane amounts of food, but few real meals - just lots of wine-friendly snacks! Back to cooking (and detoxing) tonight with flap steak in a Stroganoff-ish mushroom sauce, a big salad and sparkling water. My liver is thanking me already!
