Your HBEs look near perfect.
Why, thank you kindly! I didn’t even make them — my PIC did while I was tracking down doubanjiang. They had cooled more than I would’ve liked.
I use the “start in cold water, bring to a boil, take off the burner & set the time for 12 min” method, which is pretty fool-proof

Lunch today at Gregoire https://gregoirerestaurant.com in Berkeley - a small take-out place with a few tables (but recently opened a second location in Inner Sunset). Started in 2002, it’s a unique place as despite “only” being a take-out place it is quite chef-driven with an owner/chef from France with a background in fine dining. The menu is seasonal driven and changes every quarter with salads and sandwiches. They are also well known for their potato puffs.
It was a beautiful day today to sit outside and enjoy a lamb salad.
Salad with grilled spiced lamb patty with oven-dried tomato, lemon, thyme dressing

Homemade lentil soup.
I used a new brand of lentils this time and the lentils turned really dark for some reason. I bought the lentils recently and they taste fine, they just look darker than usual.
