I got this idea from Linda Whit and if I have room in my chest freezer I love to boil the cobs in darkest winter. I use the broth in soups, stews, chicken ala king, chicken pot pies. Dreamy.

It’s good!
Our first meal in Lisbon… in 2… maybe 3 parts 
First up: octopus & potato salad with cilantro at the popular Timeout Market. We also tried croquetas I didn’t like. I don’t think we’ll be back - too touristy. But before leaving, we grabbed ourselves a 6-pack of pasteis de nata!
Second part: a recommendation from our Airbnb hosts for a neighborhood joint frequented by locals. Very good sautéed shrooms with cilantro, chouriço, and the weirdest tomato salad I’ve ever had. It wasn’t so much the flavor as the way the tomatoes were cut. I’ve honestly never thought of cutting tomatoes into batons, but here we are 
Tried the ginjinha and white port for digestives - when in Lisbon

BF requested a different cocktail tonight, and so I went with a blackberry-basil smash. Aside from the title ingredients, there’s also Bacardi, simple syrup, lime juice, club soda, and a Chambord floater.
There was Chinese takeout.

It is cool and breezy here in the 'burbs of Philly today but just gazing at this beverage is refreshing.

Roasty, roasty, freshy.
Dixie Fry oven-roasted BISO chicken thighs, augmented with paprika and a garlic herb mix.
Roasted yellow potatoes (tossed with olive oil, s/p, and a healthy pinch of the garlic herb mix), and halved Sweetie tomatoes with fresh mozz, slivered basil from my deck garden, and a dressing of olive oil, balsamic vinegar and freshly ground pepper.
Wine. And a chilly-willy night tonight (50°) and for the rest of the weekend.

Actually I forgot to mention my daughter brought that and that is exactly what it is. Some “corn orzo” thing she made, it was flavorful but dry.

Looks perfect. Same weather here Usually Father’s Day weekend is stifling hot.
Not sure boiled cabbage, French fries and skirt steak is a winning combo, but each individually tastes pretty darn freaking good on its own, especially the skirt steak.

Okay, so I’m actually dying right now. I made chicken and broccoli in peanut sauce. Last time I did stir fry, I used three Thai red chilis and it wasn’t spicy enough. Tonight I used six, plus one more on top (raw) for garnish. Holy shit, I’m breathing fire. I can’t even tell you how this tasted but I loved every bite.
Tito’s and club with a lime wedge to drink.
