Even better, visit just about any Italian restaurant in Chicago (that's not attempting to be too cool) and give it a try, it's served at nearly all of them.
I could take it or leave it, but I totally get the nostalgia factor. Kind of like Italian beef, smoked chubs, or saganaki.

It's been Italian night for the past 2. Spaghetti alla carbonara (home-made pancetta made from salt from Salies le Béarn) followed by short-dated bratwurst from a local upscale supermarket chain Wednesday night. Last night it was fettucine with pesto (home grown from last year) followed by short-dated mild grilled Italian sausage.
Have not made any pasta - or semolina cake - though I have a huge bag (20 lb) of durum flour.
Tonight, it will be grilled short ribs (also short-dated) that has been sous-vided in a Korea-inspired BBQ sauce (adding garlic, heavy soy sauce, apple cider vinegar).

Great day fishing today. Roughly 5 miles offshore…and the bite was nonstop!
For dinner tonight. An old fashioned fish fry…featuring my fresh Atlantic ling.
Complete with potato salad and corn bread. Loved it!

Rainy day and tired from working all week, we cancelled our reservations at a seafood place last night and I whipped up a big tray of chicken nachos.
Unfortunately, the chicken was meant for tonight, so now I need to figure that out.

Moving from Ina Garten's Comfort Food to Barefoot in Paris. Her characterization of a souffle as easy is soon going to be put to the test.

Last night, I grilled some beef short ribs that I had sous vide in a Korean-inspired marinade. Not long enough however. Accompanied by Caesar salad and very local snap peas.
Pressure cooked the rest of the ribs this afternoon, and used the liquid to slow cook (than briefly pressure cook) a pork shoulder to make carnitas (we don't have too many Mexican immigrants so authentic Mexican food is a rarity). Accompanied by salad with the rest of the Caesar dressing (Caesar salad 3 nights in a row) and home-made guacamole.
Caesar salad and carnitas made using America's Test Kitchen cookbook (2 hardcover books purchased at thrift shops for $9 total).

Our event in PayPal park was so fun that I couldn’t leave my seat to get food. Then an hour to return home…
10:30p supper cooking (Started thinking about it during the drive home)
Leftover Noodle pasta with clam sauce (canned clams)
first time I’ve cooked it - I first enjoyed linguine with clams as a child.
It strongly resembles Chinese chow mein and it’s definitely more Italian as it has butter & olive oil.

Ikura chawanmushi
Tofu salad
Tempura chasoba
Sakura Ebi
Shiosaba
Ebi , love the Japanese mayo
Momo / peach ice cream

What was I thinking ? I will be eating leftovers for a while. CE's steak dinner inspired me to try Wagyu. It is good but I probably won't buy again. Cooked to 126.
grilled Caesar salad
baked potato with sour cream & chives
broccoli & cauliflower with cheese
Steak with butter & thyme.
