After a large and extremely satisfying lunch (and first time in a restaurant in months -- this one had an outdoor deck so it felt safer) of shrimp po' boy and green salad, dinner tonight was a chocolate malt made with mint chocolate chip ice cream.

My guest picked up dessert at a great restaurant ...some kind of dense fudgey chocolate cake with raspberries and mousse and mini chips coating the side. I remembered a photo after i dove in...didn't even bother to put on a plate.

nice 4 choices. I look forward to having the space to start buying Tillamook and I now have new Robbins flavor requests for the future - chocolate chip and chocolate fudge.
Gorgeous cake. No plate needed.

I marinated chicken breasts in bbq sauce for a couple hours, then grilled them. I also grilled some asparagus with olive oil, sel de provence (salt with herbes du provence that I bought at the farmer's market in Nimes last year), and pepper.
Simple and delish.
Oh, and some gruner veltliner and a Dove bar (dark chocolate and vanilla ice cream) for dessert.

Moroccan chicken “tangine” with apricot, carrots, almonds, pistachios, and garbanzo beans, cooked in a Dutch oven and served over couscous - this is one of the first Shelter entree I cooked, back in late March. Still delicious!

I made beans and rice for the first time and it was realyl good!
olive oil in a pot with onion and garlic
add jalapeno chicken sausage that was in the freezer, sliced up
add sofrito base that we happened to have in the fridge, also some adobo and pepper
add rice and beef stock (since it was the stock with the nearest expiration date)
cook, covered until the stock was absorbed
add a can of tomatoes and a can of kidney beans, both drained and rinsed
give a stir and done.

Last night - Steak Frites at Mon Ami Gabi after a shopping trip. As we were considering martinis, we stumbled upon 1/2 price wine bottle night, so also a bottle of Beaujolais.
Tonight - egg roll in a bowl. Basically everything that goes into an eggroll, minus the wrapper, and cooked together in the wok. You can Google the base recipe if interested. We add a healthy scoop of sambal olek and a little hoisin to it usually.
