Sesame scallion ginger pork sausage from the posh butcher and jasmine rice with sautéed shiitakes and peas, sausage drippings drizzled over top. There’s enough of the rice mixture, plus a bit of leftover hot Italian sausage from another meal, to make a good lunch tomorrow with a fried egg on top.

I wish we had a posh butcher who made sausages like that! And I’m not big on rice, but yours looks delicious

After a reasonably busy work day we opted for a lazy dinner of take-out sushi plus my first attempt at spinach salad with goma-ae. This was also pretty lazy bc I saw a sesame/miso sauce at the Asian grocer when I was picking up bok choy for a hot pot night this week & just used that plus a sprinkle of sesame seeds. I found the sauce a little too sweet, so will make my own next time. The spinach was nice & tender, but I probably coulda pulled it a min or two earlier.
As for the sushi, we got 4 nigiri each of med-fatty toro and salmon belly,
a rainbow roll
and escolar, yellowtail & Japanese red snapper sashimi.
Spinach in a messy bowl
ETA: Botanist martinis for dessert. Since it’s Martini Monday

I will trade my posh butcher for your gorgeous sushi purveyor!! That sushi is mouthwatering, especially the first nigiri pic! And your spinach salad looks great too.

I always enjoy hearing how leftovers will be repurposed.

Grilled chicken fajitas, poblanos and onions. Canned fat free refried beans he bought by mistake doctored with butter. Sour cream, avocado, lime crema. The dregs of a bag of tortilla chips. After a long weekend away came home to find my Spider “surprise !“ lily had bloomed and almost on its way out. Autumn is here.

That is exactly how my aunt said potato. She was born in Chelsea MA and spent all her 70+ years there, first on one side of Route 1 and then on the other. The only time she lived anywhere else were summers spent in Revere. Thanks for the sweet memory.

My father’s father always said it that way as well. Born in MA (although I’m not sure where…I’ll have to look that up!), but lived in China in his adult life and retired in Newton, NJ (which is the only home I knew him from). It was always “pass the badadahs” so obviously you can take the man out of Massachusetts but can’t take Massachusetts out of the man.

Last night’s dinner was Cheese Filled Potato Hotteok made in the air fryer. This recipe is from “Aaron & Claire” on youtube. Beets on the side rounded out our meal. Sunshine likes her Potato Hotteok plain with no sauce or anything to dip them in. I put a little hot sauce on mine.

I know, if there’s no photo, it didn’t happen. My college boy came home for the long weekend and ate with us Sat-Mon. I tried to make some yums for him and give him a break from the ho-hum campus food. I made steak fajitas, a pulled smoked pork w/mustard bbq, and a blt-cobb salad (lettuce, tomato, cuke, onion, bell pepp, egg, bacon, blue cheese, balsamic). A homemade sourdough boule and an apple crisp. A spaghetti carbonara. I think that’s it! He’s going back today.
