What's for Dinner - #81 - the Planting Month - May 2022

BF really embracing the new wok. Cinco de Bulgogi! Super thinly sliced rib eye (cut for hot pot), my kimchi, doctored up ssamjang, a couple of fresh panchan, and beautiful lettuce he got from the FM for ssam (aka, taco).

Had to enjoy that weather here in the Philly region yesterday! Whipped Feta dip, Hummus and veggies were dinner for me!

The most recent Top Chef episode that I watched (I’m a few weeks behind), someone made glazed chicken wings with a watermelon relish. So she knew :slight_smile:

It’s still lunch time here, but I’ll probably be having this for dinner. Not wasting food, growing in my planter salad greens, Serious Eats salads and vinagrette, storing avocado under water, and ventressca among other tunas! So many threads.

Your good friends are probably amazing! I’m imagining what they brought?, and from the fortune cookies my fantasy includes something Chinese.

Mrs. P made crispy soft shell crab, using self rising flour, and a side of roasted mini and shishito peppers. It was topped with a delicious sauce of fresh herbs, capers, and white vermouth. We started off with homemade guacamole and chips. It all went great with an excellent Spanish red blend.

Thank you :blush:

Stunning! And I love the greens/capers visual effect – looks like sea greens.

Last night for Cinco de Mayo, we had Birria tacos for the 1st time. They were interesting and good, but not sure we’ll repeat; think when craving those flavors will make Chile Colorado to scratch that particular itch. No fun drinks of any kind either! The day kind of sneaked up, unfortunately.

@Sasha - how did your hot and sour soup turn out? Just love it, and our PNW weather lately makes it welcome still.

@retrospek - the hot n sour I make varies a lot, depending what I have on hand. Usually always have tofu, some kind of chicken or pork, mushrooms, and will use frozen veg too - peas, edamame, etc. It goes together pretty fast when using boxed broth, and some frozen veg at least. I don’t typically have all the fab goodies at the same time, at least since Covid.
