Neither of us know how we ended up with a carton of heavy cream in the fridge, but it inspired my gf to make a pasta with cream sauce that she then added tilapia to. Pinot grigio over ice to drink. Cresco Keystone Banana for dessert (Cresco’s cross of Skilletz and Gelato). ---

Cuban beef sandwich with thin slices of marinated sirloin, onions, and romaine with garlic cilantro aioli and cajun mayo on toasted Cuban bread made with lard - take-out from a nearby place. It was stupendous. For dessert, fresh picked blackberries from my garden (thornless blackberry vines). And some pinot grigio. ---

I had something very simple and very tasty: Sapporo Ichiban ramen noodles with last night’s leftover sliced grilled jerk pork chop and sliced cremini mushrooms. I love these deeply flavoured medium-spicy pre-marinated jerk pork chops so I always grill extras for leftovers; they’re great cold as a snack the next day, and spicy pork is one of the best additions to ramen. Ideally it would be adorned with chopped green onion after plating but I didn’t have any on hand. I did however try out Huy Fong chili garlic sauce for the first time. This is the same California company that makes the famous sriracha sauce in the red and green squeeze bottle, but this is much thicker and has to be spooned out of a jar. I loved it – works great with ramen, especially the way I make it, with a minimum amount of water so it’s really a noodle dish, not a soup. The chili garlic sauce ought to work well with my next order of Singapore noodles, too. ---

Lucky! I’m nearly passing out from envy over your sandwich description. I can’t remember the last time I had real Cuban bread. ---

Going to make a veg and shrimp stir fry and some egg fried rice. Maybe a Stella Artois while cooking and some Cab sauv to accompany. Ed to remove a rather unfortunate spelling error ---

Kind of worn out this evening, so I’m just throwing together some lox and dilled honey mustard sauce on toasted French bread, with a side of coleslaw. And a pinot grigio nightcap. ---

Thick slice of ham (we knew the pig), potatoes, carrots, green beans, celery in the crockpot. Darkest Dawn Stout, an amazing stout I’ve been cellaring since a local Comic-Con. And Keystone Banana vape cart. Oh my. Anyone had this? A cross between Cresco’s Skittelz and Gelato. Amazing. If I die tonight, we’re cool. ---

It’s from America’s Test Kitchen/Cook’s Country, so I couldn’t find a link without a paywall. It’s just entitled “Fresh Tomato Galette”; maybe you’ll have better luck finding it.
