My mom and aunt are in town, and we took them for Ethiopian last night. My aunt always enjoys the opportunity to speak Amharic (and satisfy a craving for Ethiopian food), and it was a delicious dinner. The restaurant (Demera for those Chicagoans) was jam packed -- so nice to see that it was busy!

We got it take out a couple times during the pandemic, but far better at the restaurant!

It’s raining and blowing at the beach. My daughter and her family will arrive in another hour or so. They are currently pulled over by the side of the road waiting for one of Claudette’s rain bands to pass. No one will feel like cooking tonight. I will probably flip a coin with my son in law to see who goes out to pickup Chinese.

Fried chicken supper at Delfina Burlingame tonight for our family. Exciting!

wouldn’t it be fun to fetch it together? I believe an Omni thread refers to this as an “errand hang” event :-)
in San Francisco, it’s almost essential to have 2 people fetching Carryout - just like with any crime, it’s good to have the getaway driver!

chgoeditor Jun 19, 2021 4:14 pm

We were at our favorite butcher today (Paulina for the Chicagoans) and decided to splurge on an American (Snake River) wagyu strip steak. We'll probably have fries and a salad to go with it.

so awesome! How will you make the fries?
I eagerly await a report of how you cook this.
I do get tempted by Costco’s “Wagyu” short ribs.

I was wrong, the wagyu is for another night. As for the fries, I will follow the directions on the back of the bag.

Had an early Father’s day dinner.

Country style pork ribs, lots of sushi from my favorite place, mashed potatoes and gravy, and finally some macaroni and cheese.

ooh what was your Saturday supper? Do you have a deep fryer or air fryer for fries?
I know much about air fryers and I know that I actually lack counter space for even a petite air fryer.

Ooh gorgeous - what’s the orange glaze? I only know the orange sauce from PF Chang’s. I mean Panda Express.

I just mixed some orange marmalade with soy, orange vinegar, sweet chili sauce.
You could use panda express if you want.

This looks decadent, and amazing. If I could only get my doctor to prescribe it, it would be perfect.

Last night, pork chops, asparagus, and some kind of ancient grains mix. Tonight fish tacos.

Well , the cheese pie was decadent and one of the reasons why there is some of the chocolate fudge cake left ( photo in above post taken from his phone ) .
Our friends who baked and brought it said that there was supposed to have been 2 more cheeses but these were unavailable . They had to settle for only having the 5 - Pecorino , Stilton , Gouda , matured Cheddar and shredded Parmesan . The Johnson cheese sausages & Canadian Back bacon helped give the pie some bite .

agreed although I don’t know why 5 cheeses needed anything else for a bite :-)

How'd it turn out?
About once a week, I notice the small jar of really good horseradish we bought a while back and only used a spoonful in the back of the refrigerator. I'll have to make a steak soon.

Delicious! I'm not a huge steak eater, and strip steak is generally a little too fatty for me, but it was incredibly tender. We have two different brands of horseradish, and fortunately it lasts a while in the fridge.
