Night out with my gal pals at the gay bar, as one of our ladies was visiting from Philly. The tuna ‘cake’ atop a wonderfully crisp, fresh green salad (sunny crisp, I think) with radishes, maters & cukes, and a perfect, lemony vinaigrette was the hit of the night, as evidenced by 4 of our party ordering & inhaling it. Housemade chips and dip to share for the table. Lovely evening.

What is in that tuna cake?
Take-out from Fonda Balam in Toronto
Vuelve A La Vida seafood cocktail, carnitas taco and pollo al pibil taco, and an horchata. All delicious. I love this place.

“Hello old friend
It’s really good to see you again.”
It’s Friday.
So back to my Friday Night regular-regular after a couple of weeks of no cooking or needing a quick-cook dinner after power was restored or going out to dinner with a friend.
Steak tip grilled on the grill pan and finished in the oven to medium rare. Ballymaloe steak sauce drizzled on top.
Baked tater in the convection oven with TPSTOB&SC and steamed asparagus alongside. The asparagus was a little thicker than I prefer, but I got the steam time down pat.
Oh …there WAS wine. Some of my favorite Silk and Spice red blend from World Market

As always, trying to make some contributions to this lovely thread. Bit of a data dump with some meals out.
One dinner last week: Veggie sausage and chickpeas sautéed with broccoli rabe
And lots o’ garlic. Served over my usual rice mix (farro/Himalayan red rice/forbidden black rice/sushi rice).
Couple of meals out.
Coastal East Bay RI lunch:
Last Sunday lunch out by necessity in Malden MA:
Tonight (Friday):
Veggies with tzatziki and shredded rotisseriechicken for B. Quorn “chicken” for my protein (only took photos of his). Colorful end-of-summer meal.

The rare meal that I can cook for both of us. Shrimp and morel risotto, sorrel and horseradish salad with chopped egg. The latter was surprisingly excellent, considering how it was composed of “stuff I need to use up.”

Sorry, could you refresh my feeble mind of the “TPSTOP”? Something about butter. I got the “SC”. Thank you!

One more home-cooked meal from last week—grilled swordfish (which we rarely eat due to mercury concerns); soba noodles lightly dressed with a drop each of tamari and sesame oil and topped with awesome farm corn and tomatoes; steamed farm bok choy sprinkled with a garlic chilli crisp-like locally-produced sauce . Caught B mid-meal for a photo.
Also, I laughed at one of my previous photos—the way that the guys are pressed up against the booth, else they feel my wrath if they dig in too soon

I have a ton of mushrooms that need to be used up and this looks perfect for our rainy, windy weather. Did you use a particular recipe or wing it?
