My very old grandfather (and I do mean old, he married late in life), used to eat cornbread like that. My sister and I loved cornbread and we loved buttermilk, but neither of us could ever bring ourselves to treat the cornbread to that particular method of eating.

We, for some reason, just do not care for Little Gem lettuce. There is just something about it that is off-putting to use. We tried to like it, but decided not to buy again after having given two heads a try.

It’s never to late to try something new !
" Cantonese & Shanghainese Fusion Noodles " - using the super-elastic Cantonese Won-Ton Style Egg Noodles.
Made a Shanghainese style Dried Shrimp and Scallion Oil Lo-Mien, augmented the oil with previously saved Dungeness Crab Brains and finish off with ample of Yellowing Chiv
Chewy texture, fragrant and aromatic, flavour profile loaded with depth and umami complexity.

I think it’s a versatile dish with whatever add-ins you want. I was pleased with my as-made dish, although now I want to amp it up.
A very lazy day with just a few errands. I bought more stuff to go in my freezers downstairs. I really need to stop doing that. 
I also decided to make pork stock in my crockpot from the various chops and pork rib bones in my freezer upstairs (had to make room there, too!) Will be interesting stock as some of the ribs still had a bit of BBQ sauce on them.
Went with roasted asparagus, sauteed speck, and caramelized onion quiche for dinner. Three alliums were used…2 Tbsp of caramelized onions, 1 Tbsp of minced green onion, and chopped chives. The Pillsbury pie crust was blind baked before the egg, buttermilk, speck, onion and Monterey Jack cheese mixture was poured in to the shell and finished in the oven.
Crusty roll with TPSTOB (Kerrygold) alongside, as well as wine during the cooking and eating.

Did you try different brand/growers? I’ve had two different brands and have enjoyed them both. These were very crisp and flavorsome. But of course we all have different opinons re: taste.
A fantastically marbled flat iron steak cooked medium rare, garlic-parsley mashed, thick cut mushrooms with crisped garlic. A wonderful Saturday night dinner.
To drink was a Rusty Nail. I’ve always loved Drambuie but haven’t had it in years. I’m not big on sweet drinks but there’s always an exception to the rule. I had a very successful lecture and event this afternoon (on my day off, so is it a day off???) and wanted to treat myself to a bottle. What a few years will do-- $28 a bottle became $35!

I’ve been on a Chinese food spree since I shopped in Chinatown before our recent HO group dinner there and just couldn’t again for dinner even though the plan was to use some of the lovely vegetables for a stir fry.
Instead I pivoted to Italian and COTM.
Crispy artichokes and mushrooms over snow pea leaves in a lemon and olive oil dressing.
.
Pasta with anchovies, garlic, and choy sum / yu choy in place of swiss chard (plus lots of cheese).

Last night’s dinner was Spinach Fettuccine Alfredo with ground turkey meatballs and homemade bread. I modified a “Food Wishes” recipe (youtube) for the spinach pasta. Thanks Chef John!!

Inspired by my recent ’ Farm-to-table ’ dining experience at “Pearl Morissette” and “Frilu”. Harvested organic vine-ripened Cherry Tomatoes, Basil and Peppers from my back garden. Made the following:
-
Mini-salad using the blanched and peeled Cherry tomatoes, fresh Basil leaves, Spanish EVOO, a few drops of 8 years old Modena Balsamic vinegar and few grains of Mauritius rock salt…so simple yet so good!
-
Stuffed Sweet Anaheim banana peppers using home made shrimp paste, fish ( Dace ) paste, minced Chinese mushrooms, Sun dried shrimps, Chinese sausages and chopped Cilantro. Smell amazing and taste darn good as well!
Lastly, keeping a close eye on the 'Winter melon '! Cannot wait to harvest it and make ’ Double Boiled Winter Melon Soup ’ when the weather turns!
