Jet lag has thrown my circadian clock out of whack. These days I eat early and have a beer or glass of wine in the evening.

This meal and leftovers were both dinner and lunch. Stopped drinking S. African wines for many years. It's one of the countries I shun.

Your luggage must have smelled really smoky once you got home!

And of Chocolate, (again). I put all the chillies in zip-lock bags after realising the smell in my rucksack was so overwhelming that I might get chilli burn if I had to wear my clothes!

Yesterday's late lunch/early dinner.  Take out treats from ZEF BBQ.

Salad of compressed watermelon, smoked feta, arugula, basil, mint and a smoked balsamic vinaigrette. 

Viet-Cajun crawfish boiled with traditional southeast Asian aromatics, tossed with coconut curry & served with grilled corn, simmered potatoes, limes, homemade chili crisp.

 

Their coconut curry is really good so I got an extra pint of that to make some other curry things.  Plus a quart of pineapple kimchi and some Portuguese sweet rolls that came with a miso-honey butter and smoked pineapple jam.

Sunday being “Little Easter” we were able to eat restaurant food.  Mr. Kim has been craving wings, so we went the Hooters root for lunch.  Pretzel sticks and cheese dip:

Family guilty pleasure.  Jessica had the Buffalo shrimp:

Shockingly, these were cooked perfectly – not overdone in the slightest.

 

I had BBQ wings:

Mr. Kim had the 3 Mile Island wings:

Beautiful.  I had to give a "like" even with the cauliflower.

Seafood is getting expensive, even in this New England port.

That looks great @johnnyd  - enable us with a recipe!  I don't think the price of oil is helping with the price of seafood.

Saag paneer inspired dish.  Sautéed spinach with garlic, ginger, onions, garam masala.  Added sour cream since I did not have yogurt.  Fried halloumi cheese.

Lobsters here have settled to about US$15/lb but picked lobster meat, $45/lb around Xmas is now $95/lb !!

 

JohnnyD's Killer Chowder

 

  • Render a handful of pancetta, remove when brown
  • Saute 1/2 an onion, some green pepper, and I added a minced fresno for some pop. Add oil if it looks dry.
  • Add One big russett diced around 3/4 inch, stir to coat, leave it while you go have a smoke
  • At this point I had almost a pint of turkey stock to use up so threw that in to hasten potato break-down
  • Then added one quart *hot* lobster stock, bring all to a hard simmer.
  • Add a couple minced garlic and 7-8 branches of shucked thyme leaves, stir.
  • When you think everything has married, add about a pound of haddock pieces, about a 3/4lb peeled shrimp (30-40size) and 1/4lb smoked mussels
  • Stir, turn off heat. Uncork some white bordeaux. Go have another smoke.
  • Grind in some white pepper. Check for salt - we have a tiny bowl with spiced salt we use on everything w/red pepper flakes
  • Serve.

Almost like in Morocco!

Chocolate and fruit pastes, honey, pistachios, runny cheese (French). To eat you use your hands. Tear a small piece and dip in the jam and honey etc. These breads are very filling. Took us 2 (happy) meals.

Another meal. Liver:

Octopus salad with mung bean noodles. Fish sauce-lime juice-sugar-raw garlic sauce. I keep the chillies separate as one of us can't eat too spicy.

Yet, another meal. Beans (in savoury beef & Mexican chilli broth) on toast. Hard cheese, _Graviera_, from Crete.  (Phone screen version)

I forgot to add this (probably because I haven't eaten it), but Mr. Kim made some of his Creamy Garlic-Mushroom soup this week and he and Jess and his mom have been making lunches from it all week:

They report it is delicious. 😄

Recipe please!

Sunday was our 40th wedding anniversary.  Since it was Sunday, we attended the same church that we'd gotten married in all those years ago rather than our current place.  Jessica had let the rector know in advance and she and the whole congregation were so lovely and welcoming.  After the service, we went to my favorite breakfast diner for brunch.  Jessica and I had been craving Benedicts, so that's what we got:

IMG_8632.jpg.918ec3f91312e429aa946d419eab2fa8.jpg

 

Mr. Kim chose the Rueben:

IMG_8633.jpg.ea3eb16c221fabc1dcf9a2d5e70101d5.jpg

 

This was yesterday's "fill the void" late lunch, early dinner:

IMG_8689.jpg.2dde5aebdeed13503c931abdca3e8a1a.jpg

Deli ham and American cheese with yellow mustard on toast!
