Beautiful images. One thing I find fascinating with Japanese culture is the care and tradition that is rooted in what they do. Whether it’s making knives or cooking you don’t just jump in to it. You master it with pride starting from the bottom and working up

Looks delicious

There is no shame in a can of tuna in my world

Smoked the belly meat and tail from a side of salmon. Also made a pot of collard greens, rice and a big pot of Cuban black beans. Some of my favorite things

When I see toast like that I understand

Crab cake

This is the first time I snow balled them instead of forming a thick patty. A little side salad and remoulade

It is

Not sure I’d be classified as a coffee snob but have been home roasting for over 10 yrs

@Nicolai all my favorite things looks amazing

Do you have long nails 😋

Dinner. Had to be easy coming off a wedding weekend, my daughter’s. Not much food in the fridge but lots of booze brought back home plus a lot of cake

Will have to dry them longer. I fear my dry scallops are wetter than advertised

@liamsaunt fantastic sear on the scallops. I struggle to get a great sear without over cooking the scallops. Clarified butter?

More local fish Wahoo with brussels and potatoes

Grouper for dinner

Mmmmmmm....Zaatar bread

Had two 6 oz burgers defrosting and 4 French bread rolls my wife brought home the other day Sooooo, 4 3 oz sliders with oven fries. Tomato jam along with K/M the obligatory spreads and sliced Campari tomatoes in balsamic to complete the meal A nice Zin was a good pairing as well

This bottle of armagnac gave it up while making dinner. A splash went into a butter sauce on grilled mahi

Mahi on Hollandaise with Chanterelles and salad.

Last of leftover cold grilled mahi sliced and used in a leaf lettuce salad. Leftover dips I made recently for my daughter’s s wedding shower, hummus and puréed baba ganoush were enjoyed with homemade pita chips

it’s an acquired taste. I use to hate them but learned to love them as with many things, repeated exposure changed your perception

taste trumps all else, well almost

I use a silicone spatula to tease out the last bit. Run the blades to move the last bit to the sides of the container
