Osso buco and air fryer cauliflower with brown butter
I've come to the sad realization that I like osso buco more in theory than reality. I feel as if I spend half the meal trying to separate meat from fat and the other half being annoyed that there is food stuck in my teeth. I suggested that Mr. CE save it for when we have company who would appreciate it or when I have other dinner plans.

Trader Joes levain bread, toasted with butter - so good that I had seconds

Good on you for being a responsible drinker.

I wouldn't blame you. I'm not a big drinker either. I do buy alcohol for cooking or for gifting (and occasionally for other special purpose times)... but in general I don't need much to start getting the buzz. I really only drink once a year out of the house (slava... Feast of the Patron Saint of my serbian friend). Single shot glass of plum brandy. And we haven't done it in the last two years because of covid.
Good on you for being a responsible drinker.

But I try not to chance it. I usually don't feel it, but usually shortly after I get there is the first "service" and we usually have WAY too much heavy food so that could be it. The cookies and treats help too.It's better than when I visit China and they want to do baijiu shots and cheers to people. That's deadly.

Not that it's a thing now, but professionally I came of age during the era of the "Martini lunches" and I can't recall any of us who had even remotely been impaired in the slightest when we returned to the office. Blast from the past, regarding fish, I used to have most of my fish intake at Aqua's.

Most beers? I've never seen a beer that strong. But I try not to chance it. I usually don't feel it, but usually shortly after I get there is the first "service" and we usually have WAY too much heavy food so that could be it. The cookies and treats help too.

After that, I've refused sampling his wares unless it was the weekend. I've had 110 proof baijiu before but it never burned like this on the way down.

Don't remind me. A I have a croation friend who does homemade... I took the shotglass he offered and couldn't talk for a good chunk of the rest of the afternoon. After that, I've refused sampling his wares unless it was the weekend. I've had 110 proof baijiu before but it never burned like this on the way down.
