Did you enjoy it? It looks delicious. I have eaten at his restaurant Fatty Crab a handful of times (ironically in a location--now closed--that had no crab on the menu!) and have that cookbook but have never made anything from it. Last night's dinner was a hake and clam stew. That's a roasted red pepper rouille on the toast.

Farro salad with arugula, tomatoes, herbs, parmesean, pistachios and radishes. Recipe from the New York Times cooking site.

roasted halibut with lobster

Roasted salmon with basil butter over tomato risotto. The tomatoes are from my garden. My garden was pretty much a failure this year except for the tomatoes.

More linguini, this time with shrimp

My husband and I went back to Cape Cod last weekend and were able to get another piece of toro. I followed an idea in Fish Without a Doubt by Rick Moonen and coated it in everything bagel seasoning and just cooked it for 60 seconds. Served on garlicky udon noodles with bok choy and scallions.

Yes, I have had both Sally's and Pepe's pizza. My husband went to law school in New Haven and those were our usual dinner out locations when I visited him. At the time I liked them both equally. It has been many years though.

nicoise salad

Labor Day dinner was a four pound halibut chunk. Shared with nine others My Cape Cod fishmonger sold me this toro I know it is usually made into sushi but that is not what I felt like doing. I seared it briefly and served it with tomatoes from my garden and local corn... and we ate the rest in a nicoise.

I did not make the bread. I rarely bake bread, even though I enjoy doing so. I just usually don't have time. The bread on the tomato sandwich is a ciabatta roll from a local baking operation called Iggy's Breads of the World. The bowl was made by a ceramic artist on a Caribbean island I visit frequently. I have a collection of his serving dishes as well as tableware, and some lighting fixtures. I try to add to my collection every time I visit. The fries were made from zucchini and summer squash. I just cut them into planks, dipped in egg and seasoned panko, then baked on a rack at 425 until they were browned and tender. Next time I would use dry breadcrumbs instead of panko as I think that would stick better. The sauce is a homemade ranch.

Raspberry lime rickey Tomato tart in a basil-garlic crust. There was also sweet corn, grilled striped bass, and grilled steak but I did not have time to get pictures of those things before the starving hordes descended

scubadoo97, that tuna looks perfectly cooked! I want some. Spicy summer vegetable soup. I have a cold right now and this hit the spot.

Lettuce wraps. I only had romaine but this is what I was in the mood for. It worked fine

fishcakes with remoulade, sweet corn, and garden tomatoes

Big salads for dinner last night. The dressing was a homemade basil bacon ranch.

Dinner last night. Grilled pizza for the kids Clams and mussels for the adults

Chicken parmesean and zoodles in a sauce made from a giant (1.3 lbs.) yellow tomato. That tomato was from the farmer's market, not my garden. I have some big guys out there but nothing on that scale!

Roasted portobello mushroom stuffed with tomatoes, mozzarella, and pesto and baked, served on a heap of arugula and spinach. More tomatoes from my garden.

I am back to cooking at home after an extended vacation in the Caribbean. I did do some cooking while on vacation but did not take pictures. It is hard/expensive to find good vegetables on the island (with the exception of salad greens), so I always feel vegetable-starved when I get home. Last night's dinner was a big chopped vegetable salad with chickpeas and feta cheese added. The tomatoes and herbs are from my garden.
