Spit roasted corn-fed chicken with some jacket pots, cauliflower cheese and a bottle of Pecheur ..... outside in the sun. No piccies - everyone knows what chicken looks like .....

Went by the Que Shack, a local BBQ joint last night for dinner. I had a Q Baked Potato which comes with butter, cheddar cheese, sour cream, onions and a meat (I had pulled chicken). Mmm so good.

Tonight we made this food network recipe, scallops with spicy pepper puree.

Paired it with a St. Aubin En Remilly Premier Cru (one white I do like) and it was wonderful. Added some tomatoes to the leftover sauce and going to eat as salsa later with chips.

Boring I know .. but jerk chicken and a really nice pilaff made almost entirely in the Zoji. A buttered pilau rice in stock and cinnamon, with caramelised onions cooked in the airfryer mixed with tinned sweetcorn, nuts sultanas and added to the rice.
Pecheur our cheap house white from Ocado.

Also had Lebanese(ish) last night but in the context of iftar rather than birthday. Am getting better at buffets so actually managed to put together some borderline coherent courses rather than the culture clash on a plate I would have succumbed to in the past.
Dates to break alleged fast
Mezze to start: moutabal, muhammara, tabbouleh and fattoush.
Mains: Shish taouk, veg biryani, some pickles
Dessert: Umm Ali
Perhaps unsurprisingly a bit of a dry old do. Drank rose milk instead - looks like pepto bismol and sweet enough to make your teeth itch but surprisingly moreish. Have been revisited by wafts of potpourri ever since though.

Well it's Sunday and a Sunday without Brunch isn't a Sunday at all so I went to La Farm, a French Bakery in Cary, NC and had Eggs Benedict, a croissant and some Earl Grey tea:

At Güllüoglu (in NYC), I had sour cherry and chestnut baklava with kaymak. Perhaps uk1 had a point with my alternate username...

I would have liked my first post in this thread to be a joyous celebration of culinary delight but, alas, that is not to be the case. Tonight my wife brought home some sushi which while not terribly bad was not particularly good either. It wasn't the quality of the ingredients, per se, sushi just doesn't travel well.

A piece of bread that was allegedly and a croissant and another that purported to be a Danish. But hey, I'm at the RDU Admirals Club so what do I expect, right?
