Tom Yum Goong slightly modified with added noodles and spinach.
Homemade pan fried pork gyoza.
Going to try out the new commercial range extractor hood that I spent days installing. What a bunch of work.

Because it is the lunar new year & I had most of the stuff, I decided to make a big bowl of Chinese chicken salad. Lettuce, chicken, cilantro, green onions, slivered almonds, chow mein noodles.

my spouse changed their mind from the Front Porch fried chicken & southern dessert, and we ordered carryout Chinese at a place Ive enjoyed since 1995. I know its lunar but i didnt expect such a huge carryout queue. That said, everything was utterly delicious and Im glad to be back home after waiting for 30 minutes in 50-degree weather. $88 plus 20% tip.
Veggie moo shoo with 2 extra pancakes
Crab Rangoon
won ton soup large
Erics cakes with peanut sauce
Kung pao chicken
Mapo bean curd
Spicy Smoked Pork
2 / white rice
both bourbon pecan pie and mandarin cheesecake sounded great. Nobody here is a Big stranger to me. I appreciate guidance and endorsements. We all eat really well here.

The mixture on top isn't strictly traditional, but it's what I stuffed the rump involtini with and it was nice because the parsley and lemon zest cut through some of the fat. I think Nonna Maria (my Campanian cousins' grandmother who taught me this beautiful recipe) would be proud of my effort, even if she might not agree with the stuffing as a garnish.

My wife texted me in the early afternoon that she picked up the Filipino Spaghetti for me for dinner. I skipped lunch, just had a few nuts and juice to take my medicine and enjoyed my dinner.

Zahav cookbook's twice-cooked eggplant. It's not every recipe that encourages you to intentionally burn something. Tasty.

Had the new next door neighbour over for a few beers that turned into dinner. Lovely guy who has just moved in with his young daughter. I was told that leftovers was no way to greet someone into the village, so I bunged on a few snags and lamb cutlets and the better half made salad and some sort of potato thing.

Is it a bad thing when you live alone & your dinner takes 3 plates?.I have leftovers .
Roasted potatoes with herbs de provence
Asparagus with hollandaise which was way too thin because my butter exploded in the microwave so I didn't have enough. What a mess.
Grilled rib eye with garlic, thyme butter.
St Francis Cabernet ....Sonoma County,California
