Had friends over for dinner last night. Grilled Arctic char and zuke planks. Both were brushed with Greek seasonings & olive oil. Packed the char in foil bc I tend to incinerate the skin 
Zukes were dressed with a splash of lemon juice, sumac, Greek feta, chopped parsley & toasted pistachios. Fab combo I’ll use again 
The burrata caprese with avocado was perhaps the most gorgeous plate I made all summer, so natch I forgot to take a pic until it was almost gone. Wah.

That all looks great!
Thx. My plating skills, especially with fish, could use some improvement, but it was all very tasty. The zukes in particular

Kept it simple tonight. Jamon Serrano wrapped around slices of the cantaloupe I picked up at my local FM on Thursday, both just fair. The ham was purchased from World Market on a whim. Gotta stop whimsy purchases. 
And the cantaloupe had no sweet cantaloupiness.
Some garlic-herb cheese to go on some Wheat Thins, manchego topped with black fig paste, and a handful of cashews.
More of the Gerard Bertrand Cote des Roses rosé alongside.

Sometimes things just don’t work out as one intended.

Maybe one could consider the serrano ham a rescue purchase rather than a whimsy purchase? Especially if the cantaloupe was missing sweet cantaloupiness…

I sort of expected the packaged serrano ham (in airtight hard plastic packaging) to not be what I’ve had at restaurants. Hell, even Wegmans thinly sliced serrano ham is lightyears ahead of the few slices I was able to glean from the packaging, especiallyas it comes to freshness. I guess I was hoping for more from the packaging. So it was a one-and-done purchase. I had a craving that the WM version didn’t fully satisfy. But my belly is full.
Sounds like the one I bought the other day. I’m sticking with watermelon for now - those have been really good.

Trader Joe’s Italian import prosciutto is great!

The lighting in our eating nook at dinnertime is terrible this time of year.
This is Bon Appetit’s Better Than Takeout noodles – a household favorite. Typically, I would serve it with sriracha, but tonight we have some homemade chili crisp.
Cabbage, carrot and scallions from the garden. The variety of cabbage is “Bobcat”. I planted it because I liked the name – it sounded like a good, aggressive cabbage.

Thank you! Its hard to come up with new angles!
Spanish pizza. Stonefire thin crust, bravas sauce, manchego cheese, sliced chorizo, thinly sliced fried potatoes and shallots, piquillo peppers, green olives and another light dusting of manchego and parsley. Salad was mixed greens, red onion, pickled carrots, avocado with sherry vinegar/oo dressing. G&T and I’m having a double gin rocks (pain relief) because I overexerted myself today.

Last night, we had a coworker over for drinks and Asian apps in the garden. Somehow managed to not get any pics. Wonder how that happened.
Today was a LONG day in what is proving to be a LONG weekend at work. I’m ready for summer to be over. Anyway, dinner was a comforting chicken cutlet (believe it or not, it has been almost a month), baked potato with TPSTOB, and some sautéed broccoli with garlic.
To drink was a Jameson Old Fashioned. Jamo pairs very well with orange, and I also used orange bitters instead of Angostura. Guess that’s why they came out with an orange flavored whiskey last year.
