Linguine with halibut and zucchini - first you make a tomato sauce with caramelized onions, garlic, carrots, tomatoes and thyme. Then you mix it with sautéed zucchini, red onion, white wine and diced halibut and gently cook it for about 10 minutes. Finish by mixing with linguine and parsley.

Chipolatas (grilled) with baked beans.  This was the "Cumberland Recipe" chipolatas, whatever that means.  They were good but very peppery.  The chipolatas I remember were milder and shorter.

 

 

They look like the chipolatas we have in France - long and skinny. Never heard of a Cumberland chipolata, but from I read online Cumberland sausage is meant to be peppery.

Wegmans sashimi - yellowtail, New Zealand King salmon and yellowfin tuna

Nice light dinner on a hot evening. Bean sprout pork, with garlic, ginger, shallot, fish sauce, white pepper, sugar, and scallions.

Little one had a couple of friends over for games & fun. While I was dozing off upstairs I heard him announce „Why don’t you stay for dinner, my dad cooks whatever you like“ 😱

 

That could have been technically correct, but as everyone had something different in mind and the wishes ranged from spinach lasagna to Schnitzel I had to find a common denominator: bacon cheeseburger with fries.

 

 

 

Built …

 

 

Served with a new entry in German cringle cut crisps market from the airfryer.

 

 

“Iglo“ brand with very good air fry results - dusted with Duvel dust. 
 

 

And after the troops were fed, my bueger using this odd (and oddly delicious) raspberry chipotle sauce I recently unearthed from our basement.

 

 

No complaints. Except that the mom of one of the kids called this morning to „jokingly“ invite herself next time as well 😎

Did they slice for you, or do you take it home in one piece? (Or, in this case, 3 pieces).

Potato salad, green salad, chicken thigh.  All salads, all the time, as it's kinda HOT.

Germans like to put some paprika-flavored salt on potato dishes, e.g. french fries, Bratkartoffeln (home fries), Rösti … this is my version:

 

10 parts salt

1 part sugar

1 part MSG

2 parts sweet paprika

2 parts smoked paprika

1 part Sri Lankan unroasted curry powder (or any other flavorful curry)

1 part garlic powder

With roast potatoes or fries I like a paprika-laced aioli. Great idea to combine sweet and smoked paprika. It never occurred to me to simply flavor the salt. Sounds yummy.

Both. They have blocks that are ready to slice and presliced. I prefer the unsliced as we like our sashimi a bit thicker than their standard thickness.  Last night, they only had 1 block of unsliced yellowtail so we settled for one presliced.

 

Their fish quality is very good with a great price. The NZ King salmon is like fish butter.

I didn't know they closed down.  I've never eaten there.

Outback is opening new ones here.

 

Its a surprisingly-good-for-the-price chain.  A reliable place when traveling in the heartland.

Yesterdays trip to the farmers market led to this very pleasant summer meal;  Corn, tomato salad, and fried okra. It all went so well with a grilled steak.  We had some  Missouri peaches  last night.
