Here's some stuff we recently ate at home.
Man, it was almost like summer there for a couple of weeks, wasn't it? Last weekend, I really didn't feel like cooking so I dropped by Con Pane for some baguette and Bristlol Farm for some Truffle Mousse. Combine that with some Blue and Gorgonzola Cheese, vegetables, olives, and a nice Saison........
The next night, the Missus wanted Ebi-don. I thought it was a bit too hot for that. The Missus got Her rice bowl, I made myself an Ebi-Furai sandwich using the rest of the baguette, vegetables, and I even made some Russian-ish dressing.
Tommy Gomes at Catalina Offshore is a great guy. He's really funny in a gruff kind of way....but we all know he's a pussycat, right? Anyway, he's always making recommendations of new stuff to try, like this.
The problem was....what to make? This screamed for crab claw cocktails, but that seemed like the easy way out. I thought of doing something like my Smoked Portobello Mushroom with Crab, Avocado, and Smoked Corn salad, but there was no corn to be had.
In the end, I did kind of take the easy way out, making a very basic Sherry Wine Vinaigrette for a chopped salad of sorts.
This is one of few times it would be appropriate to bring a hammer to he dinner table with you....
I'm not sure what's up today. It's sort of the "May-grey" a couple of weeks early. Wasn't quite sure what to do with some halibut I got today. The Missus was craving Mok Pa, so why not. It tasted much better than it looked.
I hope everyone is having a great weekend!
the Missus is so lucky to have you as the cook :)

Love your posts about what you have been cooking lately, I feel like I need to step up my game if this is what you're making on a daily basis! haha

Hi JS - I've got a pretty touch audience.
