This is a meal for two. I put it all on a serving plater which I find I'm doing more of lately rather than serving on individual plates.

Would one of y’all reach out and wipe the sides of that bowl? It’s making me crazy.

Nothing special about this dish, other than the fact that every thing on the plate, everything except the seafood, is from my garden. Spring is here!

Also, you will notice that the scallops are not seared, just sous vided and seasoned. For my personal taste, seared scallops look pretty, but messes up the tender texture and adds no taste.

@Kim ShookThat pork looks amazing.  

 

@dcarchBeautiful looking dish as usual.  I'm with you on the scallops.

 

@JoNorvelleWalkerI'm so glad you're getting to fill your shad craving :)

 

After seeing @Smithy's pizza the other day, I had to have it too.  Pepperoni and olive.  Salad to go with.

Ronnie cold smoked a domestic turkey quarter and a couple of wings--185F for 4 hours.  Then I threw them in the SV bath at 148F for 7 hours.  Got nice and tender for smoked turkey sandwiches.  First bit of lettuce from the garden on top.

Of course fries and shishito peppers on the side.

As @Anna N predicted,  Mr. Rabbit became dinner.  See more on the Rabbit Cookoff topic.

 

Rabbit ragu sounded good on a cold spring night.

 

I made pasta.

Two recipes from the latest Milk Street magazine: Indian carrot stir fry and Kerala-style chicken curry.  Everyone really liked both.  The carrot dish was especially bright.  The naan (New York Times recipe by Steven Raichlen) was, as expected, a little disappointing.  Although it was faster and simpler than my usual recipe, I wish I had stuck with the one I normally make.  This naan was a little too dry and bready for my taste. The leftovers might make OK personal pizza crusts.

They certainly won’t be as good as “real” pizza crusts (as you well know) but I keep a package of commercial naan in my freezer for a quick faux pizza and they work quite well. I am tempted to call them “dressed flatbreads” rather than pizzas, though. Not that anybody cares since I’m the only one who eats them!  
The rest of your meal looks mouthwatering.

"Dressed flatbreads" is pretty much how I define pizza, as far as that goes.

It’s a fried food night. Fried artichokes, a few pieces of baccalà extra from making croquettas de bacalao, some shrimps chips just because my husband likes them. Salad, giant black bean from Rancho Gordon with tuna and a little plate of bruschette, eggplants.

Migraine this afternoon, so nothing too complicated:  The Romagnolis’ Table, vermicelli alla marinara.  No canolas were harmed in the preparation.

Tonight, I made a shrimp risotto after buying some imported arborio rice online at an exorbitant price. Then managed to forget to take a photograph!

Plenty of rice left, so next time!

Adding the wine we drank with the above, since it's delicious.

 

Natural, organic, yada...a juicy red from Spain, slightly chilled...

Opened because...tomatoes?  Actually was planning on making a pasta with tomatoes and shrimp. Then the wine got opened. Didn't want to make pasta any more. That's the story I'm sticking with.

 

Quote

 

SOPLAR
The “rock’n’roll” wine from Bodegas Moraza; a bland of Granacha and Tempranillo grapes that naturally develop in fermentation resulting in a super drinkable red wine. Fresh, low alcohol, juicy and fruity.

Vinification
Grapes are handpicked. Spontaneous fermentation, short maceration in concrete tanks. Once the alcoholic fermentation is done, it falls by gravity into smaller concrete tanks. Ageing 1 year and a half in concrete tanks and the rest in bottle. No oak.
