LOVE smash burgers! Lobster dinners, also. We had Bang Bang Chicken tonight. Made a sauce of peanut oil, sesame oil, peanut butter, mirin, Chinese chili-bean paste, soy sauce, and Chinese black vinegar. Grilled a couple of chicken breasts with garlic and a touch of five-spice powder, then tore it into shreds and stirred some of the sauce into it. Shredded a half-head of green cabbage, put it in a bowl, spooned some sauce over it, topped it with chopped fresh mint, the chicken, and some julienned scallion and cucumber. Very nice. Asian chicken slaw, basically. ---

Treated myself to dinner at the new Ruth’s Chris Steak House in town. I had an RC chop salad, petite filet (out of this world), lobster mashed potatoes (delicious but too big; got a doggy bag), cheesecake (ditto); washed down by ice water, Merlot, and coffee. ---

Last night I mixed some Old Bay seasoning with flour, dried some tilapia filets, pressed them into the mixture for a light dusting, and sautéed them in a little olive oil. After turning them, I added capers and a tablespoon or so of unsalted butter. For sides, I made mashed cauliflower, and green beans. The mashed cauliflower came from Trader Joe’s frozen section. I prepared it according to the stovetop directions. It tasted good, but I was expecting more of a mashed potato consistency. In any case, it was a pretty healthy meal. ---

Seafood lasagna. It was the last leftover piece from one I made Thursday. That’s the downside of lasagna for a single guy like me. I love it but when I make it, it’s what I’ll be eating for the next three days. ---

Not entirely sure, but I was doing a freezer inventory…I found four beef shanks and a small package of oxtails, and I set them to thaw. I’ll be doing some sort of braise/stew tomorrow. I’m just not sure what direction I’ll go for seasoning. ---

Probably thin steaks, rolled up with stuffing, and brown gravy. Broccoli on the side. (Salad as always). ---
