My sympathies. I have worked for a very long line of a*holes, narcissists, and bullies.
I hope you find resolution soon.

Beautiful! What meat did you use?
I realized just as you were telling me this that I actually have that book buried away somewhere at home. Time to dust it off! I was working for a toxic manager at the time and there was some really good advice in thst book.

Using up much of the pot au feu leftovers with this Country Beef Salad, from the Le Bernardin Cookbook. We had this with baguette from local bakery, Iggyâs. Whispering Angel rosĂ© for me and Notch âLeft of the Dialâ Session IPA for him.

Simple tonight - farfalle alla vodka with reheated Bratwurst. I had some leftover cucumber salad and a nice gooey dark chocolate brownie for dessert.

Spring soup.
Leftover grilled chicken, orzo and seasonal veg. I used an ATK recipe from the Washington Post as a jumping off point âI always love tarragon with alliums, and I thought the chili flakes (doubled down) were a nice touch.
Asparagus, spinach, broccolini, peas scallion, tarragon and bay from the garden. I had some held-over biscuit trimmings in the freezer which we floated for dumplings.
DHâs bowl (pictured here) got the extra chicken leg.

DIY Filet-O-Fish knockoff inspired by @Meekah 's in the McDonaldâs thread.
Half a Kraft single, Gortonâs fish sandwich cooked in the air fryer, and DIY tartar sauce (mayonnaise, chopped up cornichon, lemon juice, mustard, sugar) on a store bought brioche bun. Came out pretty good though the bun to filet ratio was slightly high.

And therefor, probably very authentic!

Please tell why no potatoes with fish curry. Any other incompatibles you want to share? Just curious.

I had no energy to plan an interesting meal today. I donât even have any damn tofu to put in my miso soup. Not hating this, though. Itâs hard not to like smoked steelhead on a bagel.

Hmmm⊠tradition? Never had them in a(n) (indian) fish curry either at home or in a restaurant in my area. Yes on the prawn curry front, though â wonder if that was to extend the dish as prawns are relatively expensive, but itâs delicious with potatoes.
Yet Iâve had fish tagines (which taste to me like a lighter fish curry) - always with steak-fry-shaped potatoes - and those are just lovely. So⊠I guess donât know why not other than habit / tradition 
Incompatibilities would be a good thread idea!

I still have a decent amount of fish from last season in freezer and since we just put our boat in the water Iâm trying to use it up before this season starts. Sea bass marinated in lime juice, cumin, jalapeños and cilantro. Served with tomatillo salsa, Mexicanish slaw and grilled nopales/cactus.

Cooked my own bday dinner⊠unusual. Normally weâd go out, but the little is having unpredictable unhappy stomach and after scrapping or shortening other celebrations in the last few months, I decided to not put that kind of pressure on us. So, a dinner salad - greens, beets, blue cheese, chicken, candied pecans. Honey mustard dressing. Rhubarb snacking cake. No pix.
