Saying goodbye to Ina Garten and easing into The French Laundry Cookbook this weekend. Fairly high intimidation factor on some of Keller's dishes, bit other seem achievable or at least approachable.

Dungeness crab and artichoke stuffed Dover sole. (I admit to buying them from the market uncooked) Then steamed artichoke, rice and a green salad.

I don’t cook much Singapore / Malay food and I love the Chinese food & bbq threads; I learned much about baking last year, even if I’m barely baking now. |
Grilled chicken thighs ala braslvr - so utterly perfect at LOW heat on the grill. I swear I want to give lots of joyful kisses to braslvr for this amazing chicken. Some got dark because the low setting didn’t impede any fireworks!
We ate it in the “Carne Asada” style with different optional toppings & accompaniments per diner’s preference. Of course, not all sides were consumed. marionberry salsa bbq sauce Korean bbq sauce with korean red pepper paste Reem’s hummus / baba ganoush / fresh pita that i fetched this morning Kim chee Purple rice sautéed onions with liquid smoke (not noticeable) Argentinian jarred chimichurri artichoke with lemon raw veggie tray https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...1dcf9d32d.jpeg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...02e3c331d.jpeg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ecb6a670f.jpeg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...c95cd589b.jpeg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...9ab5b2b40.jpeg |

Now you're just being mean. Next you're going to show up a ang ku kueh platter.... :( I don't think we've even scratched the surface of SEA foods yet... but it'll be fun trying. But here are a couple photos to start , not platter for now as have to cut down on sweets for a day 😳 😉 My cousin is able to prepare this but just between his 2 toddlers & legal work .. takes some cajoling and planning .. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...428b8fc2f.jpeg From my Melaka ‘ s cousin now defunct cafe https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...0c068eaf8.jpeg Yummy 😋 ‼️ |
Homemade (copycat) Beijing beef, steamed rice, and a couple of hazy IPAs (St. Archer and Lagunitas).

Charcuterie board from local small business.
Salad that friend brought with micro greens, scallop, shrimp, lemongrass, herbs etc grilled tri tip with chimichurra sauce. First time using the charcoal grill in over a year. Way overdone...embarassingly overdone. I can't believe how fast...finished sear and the probe was going off. Lots of flavor from rub. potato, shallot & shishito skewers flourless chocolate cake with raspberry sorbet Ghost Pines Cabernet all night https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...74988a6c98.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...d4a160c205.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...3cbfde3888.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...2e1ae642d5.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...aedbc91e4d.jpg |
Most of that "charcuterie" board looks like dessert. Chocolate covered strawberries, macarons, blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, cherries, figs. :D
And, I don't think I'd be embarrassed by that steak. Looks pretty tasty. :) |

Looks pretty tasty. :) The dry rub & the chimmichuri & the hickory chips made the tri tip delicious but way too done for my taste. 2 1/2 lbs and I swear it was done in 15 minutes. I figured the probe was wrong so I kept sticking a reg thermometer in it and got different temps. I should have trusted the probe. |

The platters we have are a spectrum of colours , somewhat “ rainbowy “ , with each colour denoting the filling - lotus , mung bean , red bean , yam .. |

My wife got ambitious last night and tried a Stephanie Izard recipe she found for skirt steak lettuce wraps. She's a recipe follower, but I still managed to get one little addition in :). We had a flank steak so used that instead. Marinated in the Little Goat Went to Korea sauce for a few hours and then thrown on a hot grill. 3 different toppings for the wraps - fresh cilantro from our small garden, quick pickled matchstick vegetables (carrot, daikon, and Persian cucumber), and Kewpie mayo mixed with more of the Little Goat sauce. The mayo mix was underwhelming, so I convinced her to add some sambal olek, which helped a little. But overall very good, we'd do it again. Surprisingly light meal for Korean flank steak. Tonight we're going to a Greek place that does a Fri-Sat raw bar. No published menu as apparently it changes each week with whatever the chef can get. But always $1 oysters. We stopped in on a whim last fall for a glass of wine and ordered 6 oysters with it, and they were good quality. Tonight will be our first time actually eating a meal there, but I'm hopeful we'll get some good seafood. |

Some of the grey color is from the smoke...I used a lot of hickory chips. Tri-tip is one of my favorite roasts to grill....very flavorful. I need to get another one for the freezer when I see them on sale. |

The cakes & chwee kuay ( fewer hawkers selling this these days ) were bought , as was the honey roast chicken . For lunch we bought laksa , nasi lemak and lontong :) |

Trader Joe’s cauliflower gnocchi with Rao’s. I got the Rao’s on the recommendation of this board. I won’t get it again. Way too salty.

Homemade pepperoni pizza with onion and the first banana pepper from our little garden tonight.
Side note on the garden. I planted 6 basil plants from seed this spring, assuming that since we have to start indoors here, not all of them would make it. 5 of the 6 have (although 2 are still a little small for harvesting), so we have an abundance of basil. Besides Italian dishes, looking for ideas. One day soon will be Thai-style Basil Chicken. |

By last August our salads were half lettuce half herbs, usually a handful of basil, mint, parsley and whatever else was in abundance. It's such a great way to change up salads. I have posted it before, but check out Charlie Bird's farro salad recipe, I do that one with basil and mint. |

I'm lingering on home-made French food longer than I first anticipated. There's something about butter, white cooking wine, and thyme...
