Yum, especially the biryani. What is the item at about 2 o’clock on the second to last picture?

I’m making this tonight! It was the first video in that cast-iron ziti episode. Ours will have various cheeses because no trip to the store is possible ATM.

Lucky you. We visited Alsace—and Colmar—in 2019. Delicious food and wine. We enjoyed tasting many different examples of Cremant d’Alsace. Charming, walkable towns were a delight to explore. Enjoy!

What’s the blurred out about?
I’m going to see how the heat goes today. Our grill is on the SW corner of the deck, (100°+ predicted temp) and with the heat and lack of humidity plus high winds today, I’ll just have to see. Maybe another dinner of cool foods. Maybe I’ll solar oven-it 
. Z’pacho sounds good!

Nice man. Her bebe will appreciate it, too.
If you click on the blurred part it will unblur.

Oh. I just wasn’t sure if it was hiding something offensive or uncouth. I haven’t come across that blurring treatment before. Thanks!
That’s how they described it on the menu - and yes, I think it is cured beef but with an interesting mix of spices and textures

After a long day of hiking in the Vosges and without reservation we had to find a restaurant for a quick dinner and picked Le Petit Schlossberg https://www.le-petit-schlossberg.com/ in Colmar which turned out to be quite good with typical Alsace food like foie gras and tartes flambees
Foie gras de canard maison, onion jam, toast
Salade Paysanne, salade, lardons, croutons, egg
Tarte flambee aux 4 fromages, fromage blanc, lardons, onions, emmenthal, munster, chevre, roquefort
Tarte flambee forestiere, fromage blanc, lardons, onions, mushrooms
Tart de jour - mirabelle plum

Nope nothing uncouth or offensive to hide 
saragema mentioned that offal was on the menu this week and she named the offal they had for dinner. The offal names are most likely what caused the sentence to get blurred out.

We were in LA Koreatown yesterday and picked up a bunch of banchan that was dinner. Plus some mandu. Probably a rehash of this tonight since it was so tasty.

Active choice on my part, not the site doing it — I was trying to be sensitive to any vegetarians reading (click to unblur)

Assuming you mean the plate with biryani and a steel bowl? At 2 is papad (this one was made from sorghum / jowar) — should be fried for optimal texture, but is 85% as good just microwaved.
The bowl at 12 has plain yogurt (we often set it in individual bowls - the kid in me likes breaking into the cream top), and the tiny steel bowl at 10 has onions marinated in salt, chilli, coriander, and cumin.

Odd dinner combination tonight, due to lack of creativity on my part and some ingredient shortage.
Plan was was cauliflower cheese. However despite ordering THREE heads of cauliflower, I had barely enough for 2 dimmer portions (less than 1 if my nephew was eating 
).
So I cooked the pork chops planned for tomorrow as well - Sichuan style, with the peppercorns, doubanjiang, cumin, and various other things. The pork took longer than I expected to tenderize, and half way through I realized I had left the toasted and crushed peppercorns, cumin, and star anise out by mistake, so they went in then… but all ended well as it was pretty delicious.
Odd bedfellows, but we were pretty happy anyway.
