We enjoyed another al fresco dinner on the deck. Mrs. P made sausage, peppers and onions using Andouille sausage. It went great with an excellent Spanish GSM.

BF made his own pho tonight, using ramen noodles and three types of mushroom. I’d bought thinly sliced brisket from 99 Ranch. Turned out great, although I asked for less broth in mine as too much tends to fill me up quickly. i did, however, give mine two good squirts of Kewpie mayo, ala David Chang, et al.'s, ramen and mayo. Much to the BF’s chagrin. But I could still taste his lovely broth, with flavors of star anise, cinnamon, ginger, etc.
so full anyway, as I’d had lunch out with a couple of friends - Spanish charcuteria and brussels sprouts roasted with anchovies we split, and I had a salad with prosciutto cotto, shaved veggies, cherry tomatoes, croutons, and salad greens. Oof.

At least you had some good-looking food, and maybe some booze would help with your mood…

Last year’s black sea bass with snow peas and water chestnuts. Looking forward to this year’s catch which will be cooked with a lighter touch as this version slightly masked the fish.

Spent a nice day with my sister antiquing on the South Shore. Found another picture to go in my half bath. 
Stopped at my local butcher when I got home for some boneless pork chops for dinner tonight. The chops in the case were looking a little past their prime, so I asked if they had any more in the back. The kid said he could go cut some more.
This was the result…4 chops all at this thickness. LOL Yes, it’s two meals for each chop for me!
Made a creamy garlic white wine sauce for the chops, some Herbs de Provence roasted potatoes, and steamed green beans.
Wine. And a pic of a weeping cherry tree in my sister’s neighbor’s yard that the previous (late) owner had planted many years ago. He’s not around to see it, but my sister and BIL enjoy it from their family room.

Ding, ding, ding!!! I have other pictures of outhouses…two pics from an antique show in Maine years ago, and pics cut from a mini calendar on outhouses my sister gave me for Christmas many years ago. Appropriate for a bathroom, no?

An easy one-pan recipe from Cook’s Illustrated: pasta with Italian sausage, greens and sundried tomato. Recipe calls for penne, but I’ll also use cavatappi.
I like to double down on the spinach and disagree with adding the tomatoes together with the pasta. I find them washed out and disagreeable after a long simmer, whereas they stay bright and firm if added at the end.
Spinach and basil from the garden.
