Couple of Snake River Farms ribeyes tonight on the grill with green beans. IPA for him and Malbec for me.

Last of a batch of pork rillettes from the freezer, with baguette rounds, cornichons, mustard, and flaky sea salt. And wine.

this is my go-to, not even sure where I originally got it anymore, and it’s been tweaked a bit here and there… it tastes like the real deal!
Garlic Noodles
1 lb. fresh (or dried) noodles (Shanghai, Taiwanese, egg, fettucine, spaghetti, etc.)
2 tbs. olive oil
3-4 cloves finely minced garlic
2 tbs. oyster sauce
1/3 cup grated parm regg
2 tbs. granulated garlic (not powder)
½ stick butter
2 tsp. chicken bouillon (the granulated stuff, cubes or from a jar)
Directions
Boil noodles (if fresh, make sure to separate so no clumping)
Heat olive oil, then add butter to melt
Add garlic, turn heat to low, cook just until fragrant
Add granulated garlic, stir
Add bouillon powder, stir
Add oyster sauce, stir
Add noodles, stir
Add parm, stir, toss several times.
Voila! enjoy!

Have made these garlic noodles before per @mariacarmen 's recipe and I can attest that although oyster sauce and Parmesan seem like weird bedfellows, these are SUBLIME.

An absolutely wonderful time at Dali in Somerville,
MA with a friend. We drank, ate, talked, laughed. Sorely needed, all of it.
No pics of sangria tonight, but THIS time I got pics of all of the food.

The bacon is cooked first and than added to the dumpling batter.
And these dumplings are some of the most “classical” comfort foods in Southern Germany (even though I am from the Northern part and we make jokes about each other, e.g. southern rednecks vs northern snotty, cold hearted brats - I gave to admit those dumplings are an excellent dish)

Sweet thank you. Parmesan is a surprising ingredient! Could you sub the granulated chicken bouillon with some amount of the BTB pastes/concentrates?
No doubt.
Fab focaccia (salsiccia & funghi, eggplant)
before catching Andrew Bird (!!!) with a couple of fantastic supporting musicians (b & d) at the Metropol theater, a fairly small venue. Absolutely amazing show.
All that listening makes ya hungry again, so we stopped in our favorite falafel purveyor (our first visit to the place this summer wut!) and split the makkali 2 plate: fried potato, carrot, eggplant, zuke, cauli & the best falafel in town. A few drops of sauce and a couple scattered onions rounded out the plate

Ooo I have that same china. Cdc (constant dining companion) discovered some abandoned blueberries in the fridge during a late night munchie attack. I just heard the very first bird sing the day in as it is slightly after five am. So blueberry pancakes from a mix but we had some eggs and milk just chillin’ so we will use those up. No bacon though! Yours looks great.
