Can you share the name of this shop? Sounds like a destination, at least for me.
And your use of Cotija is interesting. Must try. I usually use Oaxacan. Many thanks.
Saturday night was supposed to be date night, but we both were feeling lazy and didn’t want to bother going out etc. so I decided to cook us a date night. My typical go to-surf and turf. Beautiful tomahawk and a couple pound and a half lobsters. Wanted to get 1 - 3lbs lobster to share, but couldn’t find one, so two smaller ones it was. Brocolini on the side.

amazing! tips on making your rosti?
it’s Evergreen, our little market on Mission near 21st St. Not sure about destination, although they do have a lot of Latin American/South American products…
Cotija is just what we had on hand.

Lunch with neighbouring friends. I only had the tuna salad as I had eaten breakfast with my colleagues.

I had a huge brunch prior to going out for lunch. 2 Meetings close to each other unfortunately.
So this evening a caldo de Jerez (consommé from a Iberian ham bone and Jerez Brandy ! ) That is it. A warmer up !!! Chilly. A true medicinal tradition !!!

After making that post I realized just how much of a catch I am;
I shopped for, paid for, prepared and served the meal!!!

Exactly what do you do when you’re NOT feeling lazy? Throw a multi-course sit-down dinner for twelve? Probably you do.
I don’t entertain that much, but it’s always buffet-style. Partly because there’s no room for a dining table in my apartment, and partly because I’m not so hot at timing things out.

Besides having restaurant leftovers for dinner tonight, Mrs. P made baked empanadas for the first time. They came out nice and crispy and flaky, and were delicious. They were stuffed with butternut squash puree and smoky Andouille sausage.

Tonight I made chicken, cheese, and white bean enchiladas in a creamy verde sauce and a big green salad with pomegranate molasses vinaigrette. Big hit! Kiddo made lots of “mmm” sounds and even tasted salsa and hot sauce. Fun meal.

Day #2 of 3 Days Off From Work:
- Slept in. (Like, DUH.)
- Cuddled with the boyz.
- Went to Lowe’s to see if items I had bookmarked awhile back to re-do my half bath (and I won’t say how far “awhile back” it was) were still being sold.
- Found out 2/3 of the items were still available at Lowe’s OR my BIL can replace one unavailable item for free (thanks to leftovers from a job laying flooring). So free makes up for slight price increases on the other items.
- Found acceptable replacements for what was no longer available.
- Went through work Emails to get them out of my Inbox.
- Responded to some work Emails and Slack messages.
- Made dinner.
- Drank a glass of wine…because even though it’s really Monday, it’s Saturday evening when it comes to LindaWhit Wine Time.
Dinner was a boneless pork chop seasoned with olive oil and Spicewalla’s Honey and Herb blend I picked up somewhere (link below). Not sweet, not too salty. Like Goldilocks and the Three Bears, it was just right. I pan-seared and finished in the oven. An additional sprinkle over the slices when plated.
Sides were Bechtle Mini Lasagna Egg Noodles (I got at World Market because I liked the little ruffle-y squares) in a quick mushroom & wine sauce, and steamed asparagus. (P S. I paid a lot less than the Amazon price noted in the link below.)
And, of course, wine.

Shrimp in cognac/tomato/shellfish broth/and, well, a splat of butter. Unusual for me, I followed a recipe. Husband said not my finest effort but quite edible.
