Chanterelles cooked briefly with oregano, topped with triple cream Brie and broiled for couple of minutes. Duck confit with yellow squash. Squash was quickly seared on one side in cast iron skillet, transferred to a different dish, topped with sous vide cooked duck confit, finished in CSO 325 degrees steam bake for 30 minutes.

Beans, bacon, eggs. It will keep me full for a long time.

Wow, just wow! I love store bought Lao Gan Ma. How do you make it at home.

Please don’t judge ;). The sauce was Caesar dressing mixed with parsley, capers, lemon juice. And potatoes did come out of CSO looking a little pale.

Pan seared paiche with roasted potatoes.

Wild salmon with squash.

Julia Child: “Forget the cheap white wine: Go to beef and gin!”

Swordfish kebabs with mashed potatoes, mayo kimchi sauce. Swordfish was mostly belly and remained very moist.

Miso marinated wild salmon with roasted okra. Whole Foods near my office only had tail pieces of salmon but I did not have time to go to another store.

Cocktail that I had, Rihan Smash was awesome. Who knew Gin and Arak go so well together. It’s the green one on the left. And it was fun to see @curls again.

Wild salmon with corn on the cob.

Roasted potatoes cut into thick coins, topped with bacon and cheddar, steam baked in CSO

I love my husband. He is an awesome person. But one little thing makes him even more awesome. He likes chicken breast. Which means he and I never fight over chicken legs, guess who’s plate this is?

Shrimp scampi with green beans. Shrimp was marinated in grated garlic and sliced garlic was added to pan reduction sauce with lots of butter.

Swordfish steam baked in CSO with pan roasted zucchini.

Fried tomato, egg, left over chicken tenders from Chck-fil-A. Chicken was reheated in CSO and tasted better than the first time.

Scallops and zucchini. There was a sauc3 added later but it was superfluous.

@Kim Shook and @liuzhou now when you mentioned it, I can not unsee it 😵

Tuna and cukes on Russian black bread

Tuna steak with eggplant, squash, tomato stew.

Polenta mixed with corn, carrots, topped with egg. Left over lamburger patty on the side.

We planned a trip to France to coincide with Tour de France. And by sheer chance ended up being there during World Cup finals. In Lyon. Crazy celebration. Fans were very nice and arranged empty beverage containers around overflowing garbage cans.

We were watching Russia Croatia game yesterday with a few snacks from the Russian grocery: herring, salmon roe, black bread, butter, potatoes . Pickles somehow did not make it into the photo. Also, someone gifted my husband a book about Russian women.

Grilled pork chops with potatoes that were parboiled and finished on the grill using mineral B pan.
