The Hass has been spotted at that $1.69 price here in Fla. If I I needed one I would buy it. Spent more on less in the past.

Last Wednesday I had a 90 min layover in the Baltimore airport. Had to scratch that crab cake itch

@Okanagancook No question. Those are addicting snacks

The color on those mushrooms is amazing

Good looking and inspiring meals everyone. Been out out of town the last few days and tonight was a clean out the fridge meal. I was looking to do a quick dashi broth with instant dashi and soba noodles but had to settle for Thai red chili paste based on what I had available. Carrot, red radish, kale and garlic. Popped a quick seared piece of steelhead trout in the broth to finish cooking

Funny! You are correct

Started off with a beet and feta salad. Main dish was mushroom ravioli and saluted mushrooms

6 oz chuck burger that was still a touch frozen in the middle when it hit the comal. Lead to some great crust development and flavor. A corn relish and leftover potato salad were adequate sides

From my experience I find the 2:1 ratio commonly seen in the instructions for standard white rice in the US does not produce the best outcomes. Ive eaten my share of over cooked gummy rice by people that accepted the recipe as non flexible 1.5:1 or 1:1 works better in my kitchen Often I don't measure and just put the water up to my first finger joint or lower from the top of the rice. After a while you can just eye it. On the stove I simmer uncover until the water reaches the top of the rice then cover and reduce the heat to low for 10-15 min. I have even just shut off the heat when the water reached the rice and just walked away for 20-30 min. That even worked. The biggest issue is too much liquid

@Paul Bacino those look fabulous

Tonight I made seafood cakes using frozen Patagonian scallops and a small filet of flounder to make cakes using a dollop of mayo/sour cream mixed with panko as a binder. Liked the little bit of sour cream in the mix. Served with sautéed corn and sliced green beans with a touch of onion and a lettuce and tomatoes salad

That looks delicious

I'm available for consults

Today's breakfast was a Campari tomato sandwich with mayo on a very seedy bread. A brand called Eureka found at the grocery store. The horror on my wife's face as I slathered on the mayo was priceless

Seared salmon with fried eggplant. Corn and green beans from the other night made the performance and a few diced Campari tomatoes made an appearance

Leftover BBQ chuck with potato salad

Made a Thai kale chicken salad. Added mango, a little pineapple, radish and peanuts. Used some jarred Pad Thai chili paste in the dressing

Oh, it's for me. My freezers are jammed packed

Simple stuff this morning. Pita stuffed with Munster cheese and sprinkled with Zaatar then heated in the toaster oven

Most of my proteins are coming from the freezer. Fish/shellfish, poultry, beef and lamb. I guess it just became redundant.

After a mediocre seafood dinner at a new place in town that was packed and got good reviews I had to throw together a simple seafood dish at home to remind me all is well in my world. Cobia and scallops with string beans beans and corn. Flamed off the string beans with apple brandy and the corn got a shot of tequila since it's a day post cinco de mayo

No breakfast today since I had an appointment for blood work but lunch was sliced SV chicken sandwich with baby romaine i did a 1.5% equalibeum brine to several chicken breast, SV'd them, chilled and bagged individually. That little bit of salt really makes them taste better

Yes the Nothrern Harvest

Chicken and broccoli

Tanstaafl2, you know our group. Interesting in the JD reviews, several of ours noted acetone or banana
