I used stone ground mustard as a base for the sauce.

I’ve recently gotten into frozen pops. Kind of late in the summer for it, but I am in AZ. “Strawberries and cream.”

Just made lunch. Chill garlic and pancetta fried in a bit of olive oil then mixed with casarecce, spinach and broccolini and finally topped with a little pecorino.

Sure, make me Google Casarecce...

search is a great friend. Surely you can get casarecce in Italian restaurants? I’m positive that Whole Foods stocks it as private label.

First I've heard of that as well, and I consider myself pretty knowledgeable about food. Maybe it's because I don't shop at Whole Foods :).

I always thought I was pretty knowledgeable about pasta types, but reading the food threads on FT stumps me way too often.

oven-baked overnight-rising croissants
smoked Trout salad
sliced cucumbers

Leftovers for lunch today: Fried chicken, refried beans, and Greek pita bread with two types of sauces. Early lunch was satisfying after fasting 12+ hours for some blood work!

An all time favorite for me. You just made me hungry!

I had some great scones over the weekend, so I was inspired to try making some...

NYT “cinnamon roll” scones (with the addition of raisins because why not?)

How did you avoid eating at restaurants when you went on vacations---just do takeout?
I want the donut next to the sprinkled one..buttermilk?

I ate at some restaurants in Carmel with my family; this was my first restaurant meal with my friend with whom I previously enjoyed a weekly luncheon restaurant meal. Actually it’s my first restaurant meal in San Francisco with table service, since March.

the “buttermilk” is technically a vanilla old-fashioned donut. They only had a limited selection so I opted for one each of vanilla, chocolate, and maple. The others are “raised” with strawberry, passion fruit, and chocolate / sprinkles. The Seventh is their Sugar Daddy.

Oxtail stew (oxtail, carrots, potato, celery, onion) - possibly next time with some tomato for color and acid
mexican rice (my first time cooking it without a box)
chopped cilantro

i needed to floss pretty badly after my luncheon and before my dessert. I can’t recall an urgency for flossing like this - I rarely ate oxtail after childhood but I always loved it as a childhood supper.
