It’s such great stuff and easy to have on hand!
I heard we had 4-1/2 inches of rain Thursday. It’s raining again today and tomorrow ad infinitum.
Dinner was roasted biso chicken thigh with a pomegranate molasses sauce. Doctored up Near East couscous and a salad of mixed greens, Asian pear, celery, red onion, Point Reyes blue, honey mustard dressing.

We enjoyed another outstanding dinner at Bistro D’Azur in South Orange, NJ. We enjoyed an excellent filet mignon; tilefish; venison kofta; jambon and grilled strawberry salad; butternut squash risotto; flourless chocolate cake. It all went great with a couple of excellent cabernet sauvignons.

Good heavens those scallops look awesome!
And, fun that you mentioned Penzeys. I have not ordered from them for years but a friends birthday gift request was to see if types of cinnamon really are different - so you bet I hit Penzeys and ordered a variety. And then nabbed small jars of their curry and seasoned salt on promotion while I was at it. Haven’t tried the curry yet but the seasoned salt was stunning. I will now also look for the Tuscan Sunset.

Made lobster and cheesy grits at my sister’s. TJs Unexpected Cheddar in the grits. Tiny lobster tails partially steamed, cut up, then finished in Kerrygold butter, Slap Ya Mama, and Spanish smoked paprika. So good on a rainy evening.

Ohhh, there’s definitely a difference! I currently have their Indonesian Korintje in my spice cabinet, but I’ve had the Vietnamese as well (I don’t recall having tried the China Tung Hing or the Ceylon). I’ll be interested to see what you think! How are you going to test the various types?

Had a nice fall date night on one of the few remaining water front out door dining available for the season. This is the Pearl restaurant at the Oyster Point Hotel in Red Bank NJ, this was also the location of my oldest child’s christening!!!
Started with Cesar salad and drunken clams (not pictured)
Entrees: porterhouse pork chop for me and a shrimp and scallop casserole for the wife, both excellent.
Glass of house red zin and a few martinis to compliment the evening.

Nice dinner too.

Pop culture reference for you, international rock-star Jon Bon-Jovi lives approximately 1 mile away on that water-way. The opposite coast-line is where Bruce Springsteen resides. Those are the most recognizable “locals” to the area, unfortunately John Stewart just sold and moved!
