When I woke up today my lily of the valley had perfumed the air. There are some directly under my living room window. The larger pink/purple ones are waving to me too. #swoon

I am not at screen shot-ing. But… I will take a picture of the book for you and PM you. Just give me a few hours as I have some things going on in a few that will take a bit.

Yes, same meal as a week ago… I have an odd craving for bengali mustard salmon 
it ain’t pretty but it’s tasty!
Made some fresh quinoa+basmati rice, and finished the zucchini dal from last week.

After hitting the beer garden yesterday we thought it might be time for some home-cooked food, so I picked up an organic chickie boob & shrooms to be pan-fried/sautéed, and salad fixins for a side… then Ms. Impatience ovah heah wiped out on her scooter and is now not feeling like making anything, except for lots of angry noises hahahaha.
And so we’ll be hitting a hipster Thai place nearby to check it out, bc F cooking tonight

In the western hemisphere, I know its popular amongst the Brits, French and Spanish but I seldom see it features in North American menu?! I only saw it once and that was in Frilu - a Nordic/Japanese fusion restaurant in Toronto!
Thank you. We were in HomeGoods and they were too outrageous to pass up!

Tonight’s Thai food in the hood.
Shared the Supercilious Skin (crispy chicken skin sautéed with tamarind sauce, cashews, pineapple, cherry tomatoes, water chestnuts and Thai basil)
Karma Carla (crispy salt & pepper calamari with scallions, crispy garlic, Thai chile & house sauce)
In Pork we trust tacos (grilled lemongrass pork, iceberg, mint, chopped peanuts, crispy onions, cilantro, chili-lime sauce)
and Ducking Delicious (lab ped).
The lab was probably the best dish of them all, but everything was good. I do prefer my Thai food a lil punchier (as in MOAR heat, more acid, more salt) like we get at the Thai park, and none of the dishes would make me return. Drinks were a tasty Prenzlauer Mule for me, and a freshly draught Warsteiner for my companion.
Martinis in our spiffy new glasses at home for dessert

I brined a chicken in salted buttermilk (and ranch mix and lemon pepper), dusted it with Spicewalla’s honey-herb rub, and roasted over CSA beets and turnip. Braised CSA mustard greens on the side (what’s the most appetizing way to prepare these?) and garden spinach, of which I may never tire.

Tonight was an asparagus risotto, made with asparagus broth from many woody ends of asparagus that I had collected this year and last. Also pork tenderloin cutlets, in a wine and chicken broth gravy.
