I had the most delicious banana and mayonnaise sandwich. I don’t know why I stopped eating them. I feel a binge coming. I’ll eat it every day for three days and then never again for years. ---

Feel free to send some my way; I have a serious Singapore Noodle addiction! Decided to treat SWMBO tonight so we went for dinner out, which was all appetizers and a massive sodium bomb but I don’t care. French onion soup au gratinee for me, bacon wrapped scallops sauteed in whisky butter and brandy, and chicken chili gyoza to share. A Tanqueray martini for an aperitif and a glass of Pinot Gris with dinner. SWMBO had a glass of shiraz and an After 8 martini for afters. We split a Bailey’s creme brulee. Decadent and delicious. ---

A home-grilled cheddar cheeseburger with lettuce and A-1 Sauce, french fries with ketchup, two small kosher dill pickles, and a glass of ice water. For afters, some dark molasses-style crunchy candy from India, the name of which I don’t even know (a gift from my niece, whose husband is Indian) and a glass of milk. ---

Radiatore with alfredo sauce, to which I added sauteed mushrooms and some rotisserie chicken. Served that with a tossed salad with fresh tomatoes from the garden. I didn’t feel like making garlic bread (we’ve already had some like 4 times in the last week) so I just sliced the last of the mustard cheddar that was still in the fridge and put it on some Triscuits. Milk tart for dessert. ---

Made the pickerel fry I mentioned in the fish sandwich thread. O-M-G. The balance of flavour is incredible and the hot honey and kale salad went perfectly with it. Had a glass of Masi Campofiorin Red and ice water. Dessert was pistachio loukum (Turkish Delight). Delightful start to finish. > **[Crispy Potato Flake Pickerel With Tartar Sauce](https://www.chatelaine.com/recipe/main-dishes/crispy-potato-flake-pickerel-with-tartar-sauce/)** > > The inspiration for Kirsten Buck's dish is childhood memories of her cho-chum (grandpa) making a midnight snack of fried pickerel. ---

The potato flake pickerel looks great! Thanks for the link to the recipe. I think I’m going to try it sometime. I might cook up a batch of fries and do a variation of fish and chips. ---

Just finished a 4 day road trip to Flagstaff and back with my daughter. Found a good brewpub in Albuquerque with a good pizza joint attached that was all made out of shipping containers. In Flagstaff we found another decent brew pub and I had a char sui pork burger. The rest of the road trip food was all meh. Today is Sunday so Asado time at ours and the usual chunks of cow getting grilled and Malbec getting drunk and family arriving . Mrs Mollusc made bread pudding for dessert. ---
