Yes! I was inspired to try “pernil for one” with country style ribs.

Oh sweetie I was old at 30. Going out and getting good food and bringing it home? Perfect!
More years later than I’d care to admit? Still perfect.
Your meal looks fab and count me in as a George Carlin co-fan.

I guess you can take Linda out for dinner but you can’t take steak tips out of Friday night’s dinner. Those look yummy.

I hadn’t even thought about that, but you’re right!

Ooh nice! What a great idea to use country style ribs. I’ve saved the recipe and it will be interesting to try a new version!
Every time you have steak tips I always chuckle to myself. My uncle’s favorite restaurant used to be Hilltop Steak House and he ALWAYS had steak tips there. It’s the only place I had ever seen them.
Does Hilltop still even exist?

The octopus was fabulous; it was very tender and had a perfect char.

It’s one of those ‘must order’ dishes for me when it’s on the menu,.

It has gone the way of the Dinosaur (and I’m not talking about the orange Dinosaur on Route 1 in Saugus…that’s still there…just moved up a bit closer to an office park/hotel that took the place of the the mini golf course where he used to be!) They sold off most of the fiberglass cows that stood sentinel out front. My sister says 2 cows are still there facing Rte. 1 in a new mini-shopping/housing area.
I used to drive to the Saugus Hilltop to buy their steak tips. The best ever.

Pan-fried chicken boobz seasoned with paprika and ‘roast chicken’ seasoning. Didn’t quite get the sear on them I was hoping for (still on a learning curve with induction), but they were tasty nonetheless. New taterz with parsley butter and a salad of lamb’s lettuce, radishes, cuke, maters, avocado, tossed with a dressing of Knorr garden herb mix, peanut oil, lemon juice, s&p, Dijon mustard & a touch of crème fraîche. Positively stuffed now.

Last night was meatball sliders on brioche with Japanese mustard greens and spinach. So good.
Tonight, ww macaroni elbows with chickpeas, dino kale, ricotta, browned butter, garlic scapes, Parmesan, and garden dill, basil, and chives. It was OK.

Taste way better than look!!
An interesting fusion attempt by combining corned beef hash brown potatoes with diced Prosciutto and Chinese egg foo-yung style scrambled organic eggs.
Surprisingly delicious end results with every components jiving seamlessly together and created a salty, savoury, umami bomb!

An at-cabin dinner after driving around doing some antiquing and shopping.
Grilled chicken marinated in olive oil, s/p, and Herbs de Provence.
Sides were Jasmati rice and sauteed sugar snap peas, onions, and red bell pepper with s/p, and Penzeys’ Tuscan Sunset.
And wine.

I’ve often seen it in Zehrs and No Frills. The local Asian grocer, Centra always has it in stock, but then, it’s not one of the mainstream markets (yet).

Last week was move in day for the beach club but today was the actual opening! After six years of waiting, playing politics, going on lists and greasing a few palms (c’mon it’s Jersey! You’ve watched tv it really does work that way!!) I finally got our “own” beach cabana! (all to ourselves)
So after pimping it out in a location you can hear the waves from your seat, as the Tom Petty played at 9am I started the day with an iced coffee and bagel.
You are only allowed “small appliances “ so tonight’s meal is my first attempt at using a “George Forman” grill. I par cooked the burgers to medium on my grill at home last night, plated and refrigerated. Now heated the GF to a toasty 425 it warmed / cooked the burgers to a perfect medium. Same for the wife’s and daughters chicken burgers!
Next was cooking from raw and worked wonderfully! Looking forward to getting creative and I’m 100% doing steak and lobster on Monday for the family!!
Happy & Healthy Memorial Day weekend to everyone!!!
The view
My and my family happy place!
