Haha - curry is my preferred meal when my husband is not home. He's an adventurous eater but can't abide curry or peanut sauce - two things that I love!

Curry is always on my menu when he's gone! (I love when he's at hunting camp for a month- all curry,  all the time).

Last night I was craving pasta so- shrimp, tomatoes, garlic and Rummo gf pasta.

Speaking of curry, my nephew's wife has discovered that she is allergic to turmeric. She breaks out in a rash. It took her years to figure this out. Weird, right?  I'm glad I didn't make Lemony Turmeric Tea Cake for her. That's Alison Roman's  brilliant recipe, which does not taste like turmeric at all but had a fabulous color.

 

Speaking of grouper....OMG this is really my favorite fish of all time. Last night, courtesy of the remarkable DeKalb Farmers' Market, I made blackened grouper. This was probably my last time eating grouper for this trip, too too bad. I prefer the red grouper to the black, and that's what I got. It was delicious. Every time I come to visit my daughter and her family I bring her Hot Cajun Blackening Spice from Oaktown Spice in Oakland. It's simply the best. I can buy about twenty different versions of the stuff here in Atlanta, but all of them are too salty and not as good. So last night I had west coast blackened east coast fish.

Sir fried noodles with bok choy, roasted oyster mushrooms, and my nephew grilled some pork tenderloin to add for those who wanted meat in it

Yikes....  I hope she never travels to Indonesia, Malaysia or Singapore... they put turmeric in EVERYTHING!

Shout out to Gene's BBQ in Atlanta. The best way to describe this place is a bar with a kid's menu. It isn't really a BBQ joint as I think of one, but sort of an Asian/BBQ fusion dive. The atmosphere was warm and friendly with a ceiling full of string lights. The martini was decent, my blue crab claws were pretty good in some variation of an Asian sauce. My son-in-law, a brisket lover, declared his brisket to be very good. The twins were happy with their mac n cheese and thrilled with their dessert which was really just a pineapple coconut smoothie that was deceptively delicious and which we all agreed might be good with a splash of rum. The surprising star was the banh mi with charred crackly sort-of- barbecued pork, proper pickled vegetables in a Viet roll. Highly recommended as a great place for families. Oh, and I don't want to forget the fact that the girls found a basket of free lollipops soon after we walked in and that kept them busy until the food arrived. What's not to love?

 

As always by the end of our visits,  my husband and I are fried and no longer in the mood to cook, and also as usual, the new crop of mosquitoes has dined out ON ME, so I'm over eating al fresco at dusk. Another few meals and we are headed home.

Last night's dinner.

I had a small Sterling Silver 2lb prime rib that I cooked on the grill

and served with just some grilled peppers and zucchini.

More of a “linner”: driving back from our site to Dresden and stopping by a hunters lodge in the middle of nowhere.

 

 

 

Bright and sunny outside, so we picked a place on the terrace. Still Spargel season, so I tried the East German variety …

 

 

Soup …

 

 

The full monty with Schnitzel …

 

 

Great potatoes (Brandenburg & Sachsen are potato country !)

 

 

Aged marsh pear Schnapps for digestif …

 

 

No complaints 🤗

So I decided to track down some oyster steaks,  Here

 

An oyster steak, also known as a spider steak, is a cut of beef from the cow's hip area, specifically from inside the hip pocket. It's a rare and prized steak due to its unique shape, which resembles an oyster shell, and its tender, flavorful nature. 

 

Here's a more detailed look at the oyster steak:

• Origin and Name:

  The oyster steak gets its name from its distinctive shape, which resembles an oyster shell. It's also sometimes called a spider steak due to the appearance of the fat striations, which may resemble a spiderweb. 

   
• Location:

  This steak is sourced from the hip area of the cow, specifically from the hip pocket, making it a relatively rare cut. 

   
• Flavor and Texture:

  Oyster steaks are known for their tender and flavorful nature, with a good amount of marbling for a richer taste. 

   
• Versatility:

  Oyster steaks are versatile and can be cooked in various ways, including grilling, pan-frying, or even slow-cooking. 

   
• Other names:

  Depending on the region, oyster steaks may also be referred to as flat iron steak, butcher's cut, or spider steak. 

   

   

  

   

   

  I cooked mine sous vide, thinking it was fibrous  3-4 hrs 130F

  then char grill
