Still lagging & lazy, so another simple dinner was in order: carnitas tacos with the fixins. Carnitas courtesy of Aldi - not as fatty as the last bunch and prolly enough meat for 6 tacos. Hit the spots.

Bwah! That was nearly my exact dinner two nights ago. Even the limes. Carnitas courtesy of Costco. Just used sliced avocado instead of guac. and street-size corn tortillas. chopped onion, cilantro, a squirt of hot sauce. Hold the peppers, please.

Tuscan soup. Not as good as the first time I made it. I forgot to add toasted fennel seeds early on. Feh!

Thick cut bone in pork chops. Lightly dusted in seasoned flour. Sautéed in butter.Remove and add shallots and sliced apples. Cook a little more until slightly browned. Flame with Calvados, add half and half and reduce. Roasted asparagus with olive oil, pepper and Himalayan pink sea salt.
He found a 5 pound bag somewhere after Dollar Tree stopped carrying it. Next up is a really ugly Buttermilk pie. Nutmeg on half. And what is up with Pillsbury all ready pie crusts. No matter how you center them it’s still not an even circle.

I have been reminded lately by some of you how much I love Peruvian chicken. I scored a huge bunch of cilantro so 'twas kismet. Blsl chicken thigh with aji verde, fried potatoes, poblano chiles, onions, seasoned with s&p, garlic, pimentón. Mixed greens salad with marinated carrots, Castelvetrano olives, red onion, oo and sherry vinegar dressing. Bloody, oops, Snappers and Sangria.

Nailed it. Dining solo tonight, and that usually calls for a steak. My last few have been overcooked, so I was taking no chances with this one. Seasoned with a Montreal rub and lots of cracked pepper. Side of roasted potatoes and broccoli. They shared the same sheet pan but went in at different times. Similar seasoning, though the broccoli got minced garlic and Pecorino Romano cheese.
To drink: started with a Gordon’s gin and tonic. Didn’t have time to hit the liquor store before work and visited the supermarket’s liquor store while shopping this morning. Outrageous price for Bombay. Gordon’s it was, and its not bad at all. However, I did move on and finally try a Chartreuse and tonic. Not something I would drink regularly given how expensive Chartreuse is, but MAN it was good. I should have taken a pic because the diffused green was beautiful. I can see it being lethal in the summer-- today was almost 60, so almost summer, right?

A fish market opened in town this week! I’m so excited - it means I no longer have to drive 50 minutes each way to buy fresh fish. Sand dabs with brown butter, lemon and frizzled capers with sautéed baby “super greens”. So good!

Oh My!
This is terrible. Is there any word on when/if they expect to be able to open up?
I’m not a big fan of mixing my sauce and ricotta in any baked pasta. I don’t even like to put the sauce right next to the ricotta when I make lasagna.

More striped bass from the freezer. This time it was lightly marinated in citrus juices and olive oil, dusted with sumac and roasted. I reduced the marinade and added some white wine for a light sauce. Served with Persian-style jeweled rice.

I plan to go down to the local Fish & Wildlife office one of these days and see why it was closed after all these years. If I had to guess, I’d say resource management for the beach in question was annexed on to another local area which is frequently (almost permenantly) closed. In any case, maybe they can recommend another area which has public road access and is open for harvest of butter clams. Hoping for the best!
