Have a great trip. Barcelona is one of The Sprout’s favorite places.

Late-season-tomato BLT’s with Kurobuta bacon on bakery sourdough. Potato wedges roasted in duck fat.
Lettuce, toms, spuds, pickles and scallions from the garden.

It has a light crust . I’m guessing a white fish . Mushroom, with sauteed scallions and a broth .
I love Barthelona. The food, the vermut, the gin. Have a wonderful trip.

Tonight’s dinner was Garlic Breaded Chicken Breast. This is an old Jaime Oliver recipe that I dug out of my binder. Baked potatoes and peas rounded out the meal. My girlfriend had one of her chocolate “in-betweens” (from the baking thread) for dessert.

You know what’s funny [or scary]? I read “haircut” and immediately thought, “She’s having scallops tonight”.
We’re a sick bunch!

Dining solo tonight so I made a Strip Steak which I rubbed heavily with everything bagel and Montreal steak seasonings. Kind of missed the mark-- it was medium well. Still tender but really wanted to see more pink. A very brown meal which included a baked potato with TPSTOB and thick-cut mushrooms.
Got to see some friends after work and before dinner for the first time in forever. Two of them gifted me this awesome jellyfish martini glass. I’ve never seen anything like it. So fragile. I used it tonight but was so cautious. Afraid to use it again!

Continuing Mrs. P’s birthday celebration, we enjoyed another excellent dinner at Cafe Panache including crab cake with tzatziki sauce; filet mignon ravioli; veal osso buco; panko crusted halibut with wasabi sauce. It all went great with a couple of excellent cabernets.

Very nice! Life is to be celebrated! And, like good wine, you’re aging very well! 
Thanks for sharing.

OR…I’m just that predictable! But I didn’t have my steak tips on Friday or scallops on Haircut Day. I guess when I got a year older, the urge to change it up a bit hit me.

Speaking for myself, and others’ MMV, but I’d prefer if you posted the description with the photo. It’s a lot of extra scrolling and back and forth.

Squid With Black Bean Sauce, adapted from Rasa Malaysia.
The three changes I made:
- Swap out the dark soy for sweet soy
- Swap out the snow peas called for with julienned green chiles
- Par cooked the squid by passing it through oil instead of blanching it
The squid was already cleaned and separated into tubes and tentacles, so the most time consuming part of this was scoring the tubes before cutting into stir fry size pieces. Well worth the effort though, as the squid were nice and tender when the dish was ready! Leftovers for lunch tomorrow, too.
