Individual chicken enchilada casseroles to use up stuff in the fridge before we go on vacation tomorrow. Not pictured is the pico de gallo I also made to use up the last of the tomatoes.

Another “best of” food day for (one of) the visiting kiddos.
Barely escaped a monsoon-like deluge as we ran into his favorite pizza place (New York style, obvi).
Picked up Oaxacan cheese from the grocery store across the street, plus refried and black beans and rice from the favorite neighborhood Mexican restaurant a couple of blocks away.
Kids’ Top 3 dinner tonight: homemade cheese quesadillas with the beans and rice, plus sliced cucumber for vegetable content. Other kiddo ran home when the dinner plan was mentioned - took his food to go.
I ate leftover Indian food - spinach chicken with rice. Tasted better today than when I cooked it!
And another gratuitous non-food shot of a favorite- The Temple of Dendur at the Met, where they are projecting what the painted exterior might have looked at.

Grilled burger. Toasted buttered French sandwich roll, layered with a slab of duck mousse, caramelized onion/mushrooms, ground tri-tip and bacon patty, melted Gruyère and whole grain mustard. A side of dressed greens to cut the richness. The rest of the Cotes du Rhone. I have been dreaming of this and it didn’t disappoint.

BF made Bún Thịt Nướng with the leftover (unmarinated) pork shoulder and herbs/veggies we had from the weekend’s cooking, and restaurant-purchased Chả Giò. The imperial rolls were a disappointment (a bit heavy and doughy) but his Bun was not. i sent him the Serious Eats recipe, and i had leftover nuoc cham. Excellent!

Very definitive opinions and a clear list of must-do’s. My father’s super-palate and my brother’s exacting standards, lol.
I introduce a few new things each time. This trip, Korean is on the agenda (I added japchae and rice cakes to the menu during the pandemic). Trip just got extended, so now I’m thinking of what else!

I appreciate that. And yes, I do pour my heart and soul into my lectures. I can’t speak about something unless the passion is there.

Today was disgustingly hot and humid, so a light summer meal it was: grilled shrimp skewer over couscous. Side of air-fried string bean fries with garlic aioli. Not very colorful.
A Rob Roy to drink.

Not that I know of, I miss Paris. I based my burger on the famous foie gras one.
