Happy April 35th, everybody!

I just realized it this morning and moved it all over to the current thread.

@LindaWhit Thanks for moving my photo to the right month. I obviously don’t know what month it is yet

Cobb Salad

[mariacarmen (maria ascarrunz)]

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).

[mariacarmen (maria ascarrunz)]

oh shit!! sorry that happened… glad you got the Paxlovid. Hoping it passes quickly and relatively mildly.

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

I typically steer clear of exhausting recipes!

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

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.

"Stop Food Waste"

I found some useful info, resources, and links on this Stop Food Waste link from Bay Area Recycling. Some, but not all are local. I especially like Stilltasty And these storage tips. [Infographic_2020_FoodStorageTips]

2022 Veggie gardens!

New year! New potagers! What are you planting?

Storing Avocados..the water hack

Tried this gone-viral water hack and boy does it work out well! Including a misted paper towel or napkin against a sliced half (no more browned, leftover waste). Food52 wrote about it here:

Choosing Canned Tuna - In Over My Head!

I am hoping to decipher the myriad terms that are slapped on canned tuna! So, I think I have a good understanding of the sustainability labels from online research. I have also taste tested, and I tend to prefer tuna packed in oil over water, partiuclarly when using the tuna fresh (vs. cooking into a casserole or other dish.) But there, I get overwhelmed at the combinations of fish and canning techniques, including, but certainly not limited to, these: Chunk Light Chunk White “Yellowfin” So…

I also posted last night on the old thread, so we were in good company.

My good friend brought us dinner tonight. I could get used to this

[shrinkrap]

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.

You forgot to remove the lids before taking photos! Ha! All we see are ’ water condensation’!!

Each picture is better than the last. And your feline is scrumptious

[paryzer (Eli Paryzer)]

Thank you

[jiaozi]

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.
