minimalist dinner. Pita and cheese, toasted dinning solo and just wasn’t hungry

This morning, I had cubes of French feta, sliced kalamata olives and sliced basil leaves with a drizzle of fruity olive oil.

Doesn’t look like mushrooms I find in the market. What are they?

Better than anticipated. That was a very old cigar maybe 15 + yrs old from my early days of smoking cigars. These days mostly all habanos that I wish were that old

Half a chicken with basil and sun dried tomatoes under the skin along with fingerling potatoes and salad. Wine was 2016 Kosta Browne Russian River chard

Fried up some shallots, fine diced creminia mushrooms and poblano chilies and then added ground chuck seasoned with ancho, guajillo and chipotle chilies. Finish with cilantro, queso fresco and tomatillo salsa on fresh corn tortillas

Ordered some seafood from Donostia web site the other day. Trying to recreate our trip last year. Canned/ jarred anchovies and Squid in ink and tomato sauce as well as tuna in oil and sardines The anchovies were nice, the squid was too broken down. Did not represent the picture of what it should be. Just a little disappointed overall. I guess i need need to go back to San Sebastián

Tonight went Mediterranean Lamb loin chops, roasted potatoes, brussels and pita

It’s my wife’s favorite. Picked up 3 cases several months ago at a decent price. Sent one case to my daughter in San Antonio. She loves it too

Crab cakes for dinner with side salad and wine.

Lunch yesterday was Texas “caviar”

The steak does look great but I want that potato. Broccoli or broccolini looks good too. Love carbs.

With cracker Jacks it would be off the hook delicious

In reference to the strawberries, I find most all the strawberries in my markets, Florida or from California are tasteless.

My corner upper and lower cabinet has been designated as bottle storage A matching bottom corner cabinet on the other side of the kitchen closest to the range to holds pots and odds and ins of little used equipment

Recent acquisition. A single barrel cognac group pick. As usual I should have bought more than the 3 I ordered. Just delicious

Dug out 2 BSCB. Will cook either on the grill or stove top with roasted potatoes and salad.

The belly of salmon or steelhead is one of my favorite things to eat This was steelhead. Salted with brown sugar and a sprinkle of black pepper then vacuum packed and tossed in the fridge for 3 days. Tossed it on the smoker this evening. Served with salad

I too admit to really loving the aroma of meats and vegetables roasting in the oven. Just wonderful

Braised Lamb shanks, my all time favorite meal. I always do mine in the oven didn’t think the PC could create the texture that the oven can. You’ve changed my mind

Just steelhead and salad

Always amazing looking food mm8

Good call on the mushrooms those skewers look delicious

Id give it an extra point for the cauliflower. Sweet roasty flavors there

Right up my ally. Looks delicious
