Nice!
Thank you!
We enjoyed another excellent dinner at The Farmer’s Daughter in Newton, NJ, including sweet potato gnocchi with mushrooms and squash in an apple jack sauce; steak tartare with bone marrow, and the most amazing tangerine chili olives; lobster fritter; wagyu beef, and chocolate truffles to take home for dessert. It all went great with an excellent red blend and cabernet.

I was inspired by @honkman’s sweet and sour cod as I have lot of mushrooms and always have tons of fish in the freezer. But when I went to get the fish out I saw a container of turkey pho broth I made last Thanksgiving. Since it took up more room than I fish I decided to do something with it instead,
Somewhere between pho and udon. Pho broth with miso, fish sauce and sake added. Shitake, oyster, and grey mushrooms, udon noodles, carrots, savoy cabbage, kamaboko and makrut lime leaves. It was a perfect way to mitigate the wind and rain brought by Ophelia.

A buddy hosted our weekly poker game last night, and his new GF cooked for us all! App was a lovely burrata salad with cherry tomatoes and fresh figs (no pics, sadly, as it was a gorgeous bowl of food), followed by a zesty salmon coconut curry & a umami-to-the-max rice noodz dish with jalapeños and peppers.

Yes please!!! 
It’s officially Autumn weather here so I made pork meatballs in a broth with kale, topped with Grana Padano. Really simple but tasty.

Fancy-ish salad right outta the 60’s 
Tuna and cottage cheese on a bed of romaine, tomatoes , cucumber slices and pickled red onion drizzled with anchovy/red wine vinaigrette + a dash or 2 of hot sauce.

Turkey Chili made with half a chopped onion, 1/2 a chopped red bell pepper, 1 lb. of ground turkey, 1 can cannellini beans with its liquid, 1 can diced tomatoes, 1/2 Tetra pack of Pomi strained tomatoes, chili powder, ground cumin, s/p, and minced green chiles.
Served on elbow noodles with grated Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream and chopped green onion on top. Not my best effort, but pretty good. Corn muffins and wine alongside.
And dessert will be a plum and peach crisp from this recipe. I had bought peaches and plums during my power outage to eat out of hand, but never did, so used them up like this. Looked good coming out of the oven earlier!

Had a surplus of these beautiful FM heirloom cherry tomatoes, half of which I slow-roasted this afternoon for pasta sauce.
Actually went through the trouble of passing through a sieve to remove the seeds and skins for an extra smooth sawce. Put that sweet, rich tomato jam onto the plate at room temp, plopped a big ole ball of burrata on top, then added the ravs & torn basil leaves. The ravioli dough was really tender, and it all worked very well together

Cool today…so we did a Sunday roast with baked potatoes and steamed carrots. No pics, totally forgot!
Medium rare on the Spoon roast and lots of butter, sour cream, salt potatoes and chives on the potatoes.
Sleeping food, as my father would say.
