Finishing up the last of the Calvados marinated pork tenderloin, apple compote and steamed green beans. Incidentally Virginia Petit Manseng really fits this dish well being a quite aromatic with spice and fruit notes

Saturday - my wife had supper with friends so I decided to get Szechuan via DoorDash and I would compare pricing and probably go with a place offering a coupon. $72 total with tip and fees. Yum. 3 dishes.
DASH of little Szechuan, sf:
mala tang noodles with baby bonk choy and beef tripe
fish with pickled cabbage
mapo tofu (very very not good - too soupy)
rice
sunday:
roti, sf:
chicken tikka masaka
saag paneer - spinach with farmers cheese
rice
naan - with raisins and cherries
puri - fried dough
