Kimchi fried rice with leftover kielbasa. HC

Oh, I haven't ruled on it yet, and garlic and hot sauce is pretty much a given. Maybe even some dry sherry. HC

I have 2 in the freezer, but have not tried it yet. I was hoping for a winner. HC

Anyone tried the Cioppino? HC

Zucchini and Brie on Tuscan toast, bacon, home fries and fresh salsa. HC

I thought I had it down in my head what to order, but somehow I screwed it up and ordered 2 spicy tuna California rolls and 1 spicy tuna roll, instead of 2 spicy tuna rolls and 1 spicy tuna California roll (you can see how the confusion sets in), but when it came to over twenty dollars, I realized there was a problem. Then when I picked up the take-out and felt the weight of it, I knew. It was still good, even though I had the last few pieces as a late night snack. HC

Kielbasa and onions, scalloped potatoes and the recent warmer weather got me thinking about three bean salad. HC

@kayb, we are about an hour and a half out of Boston. It certainly would be fun and doable. Driving into Boston is a PITA, so it would probably involve taking the "T" in from an outlying town. The devil is in the details. We will be in Boston for a cruise to Bermuda sometime in June. When you mention Gloucester, I think whale watch. HC

Shrimp cocktail and chef salads HC

Mortadella, kimchi and onions on Tuscan toast. Remarkably good! HC

I went to a local steel fabricator to get a pizza steel cut and while I was waiting, I noticed a bin of scrap steel of assorted dimensions, marked down quite a bit. I had them cut my steel from a 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) piece. It weighs close to 30 lbs and you would not want kids or pets around your feet when you move it, but it works very well. I had it cut rectangular, but if I had it to do again, I'd have the corners a little rounded. HC

More 75 cent oysters HC

I had quite a bit of cut up cubanelle peppers in the fridge that I decided not to use in another dish, so, this morning I sauteed them up with some olive oil, and garlic, a few Bermuda onions, Roma tomatoes and capers and made a ratatouille of sorts. I put this on Italian toast and broiled it with a few slices of Brie. It made for a nice cold weather breakfast! HC

We were going to have beef stew tonight, but took a ride to the local brewery for some growler refills and passed by our favorite fish market on the way home. The sea scallops were hard to resist and beef stew got pushed back until tomorrow. Fried local Stonington sea scallops and fries. And, @Shelby, in case you are wondering, Mccormicks Cracker meal (about 1/4 cup per lb, shake and bake style) does the sea scallops well in 375 degree peanut oil. It only takes a little more than a minute, in small batches, just keep checking for the golden brown color. HC

Rock Cornish Game hens Korean BBQ style with scalloped potatoes, and peas. HC

@kayb, That doesn't mean the door is closed. You are always welcome, we'll find something else that I'm sure you'd like! HC

Trader Joe's now has them, but quite often, they are picked too late when the seeds are like plywood. I have been growing them for quite a few years now. They are pretty easy to grow, and you are right, they are addicting. HC

What do you do in a snow storm? S. O. S. Sardines, Onions and Saltines. HC

Big snow today. We were out early to get a few items. One of the things on the list was more fish fry mix. Maybe this will help you spot it. HC

Chef salads for dinner tonight. HC

I just recently had my stove replaced and while they were bringing the old one out to the truck, I was working double time with a broom, dust pan and mop on the empty space. Not pretty! Those guys must have some stories to tell. HC

@Shelby, I had tried all kinds of batters, including beer, but have come to really like Mccormick Fish' N Chip mix. You just mix it with water, using only as much as you need and you can mix it as thick or thin as you like. The flavor and crunch and the ease of use, just convinced me to always have some on hand. I wish I had wild catfish to go with it! HC

Fresh haddock fish & chips really hit the spot tonight. The spicy garlic and lemon aioli with chopped capers and scallions helped. HC

Tacos, sour cream, pico de gallo and fresh salsa. The plastic bag contains shredded lettuce, which Deb does not like on her tacos, but I do. HC

Looks good. I'd like to be "penciled in" for the next one. HC
