We enjoyed another outstanding dinner at Bistro D’Azur in South Orange, NJ, including ribeye steak; whole black bass with tahini sauce; perfectly poached lobster crepe; jambon salad with roasted figs and goat cheese; Spanish chips. It all went great with an excellent Malbec and Shiraz.

last night at my sister’s we made Chupe de Camarones - an old favorite Peruvian dish we’ve had at many restaurants over the years but never tried making at home. Turned out great. Made with home-made shrimp stock from the shells, evaporated milk, two kinds of Peruvian chili paste (aji panca and aji amarillo), sauteed onions/garlic, peas, potatoes, and corn. Corn isn’t sweet right now, which is like Bolivian corn, so it tasted just right to us. Queso fresco got mixed in and as garnish, and freeze-dried cilantro subbed for fresh. a TON of shrimp, too. Very homey and delicious.

I run a local cooking group, and we had our 3rd potluck yesterday. Really good stuff from everyone.
There was borscht, a nice refreshing salad with creamy dill dressing, garlic noodles with andouille sausage and shrimp, tuna escabeche, stir-fried chicken & chashews, white chicken chili (not pictured), my Tuscan soup (one of two dishes that were obliterated 
), two trays from a local hobby caterer with amazing bbq’d and smoked foods involving a lot of pork products, apple strudel with vanilla sauce, apple coffee cake, chocolate zucchini cake, date cookies, and crêpes made to order with homemade maple syrup. What a treat. Def having a low-key dinner aka Abendbrot tonight, tho.

Sesame crusted pork tenderloin slices with a citrus glaze/reduction, quick pickled cukes, and some rice cooked in broth. We are embarking on some trial elimination diets for my little to see what might be giving him the GI blues, and just embarked on a trying-to-be-mostly-gluten- free week. Wish us luck.

It’s just another Meatloaf Monday!!
The best part is Sunshine loves making cold meatloaf sandwiches for lunch with the leftovers. There is enough for two lunches, so she is quite happy.
