Had some laksa packets left from a previous purchase (Prima instant Curry Laksa... If I open two packets, I don't always put both soup packets in)... so it was pork and vegetable dumplings in a laksa soup-base... Got one more package of dumplings... need to figure out what's the next (simple) soup I'm going to cook them in...open to suggestions.

mmm--fried olives.

I got takeout from Lemonade tonight (I had a coupon for a free entree!) and it is really good. Salmon over red rice, mexican street corn, mashed potatoes. I really wanted to go next door to Lucille's and get an order of fried dill pickles but already had way too much food.

You know when something turns up and you have NFI and you were drunk when you ordered it and forgot about it? Meet my cazuela.

That's chorizo with potatoes. Added a bit of cider for sweetness.

That NY Strip looks perfect!

Here's a blast from the past. Once upon a time long ago in a city far far away (the old San Francisco), one of my initial assignments was some work for Hambrecht and Quist, and during those 6 months or so, it was routine for some of us to head out to Izzy's for steaks and drinks at around 8pm - 9 pm a couple of times per week. For old time's sake, I still go there once in a while, and still enjoy it very much. The bartender there used to make a Manhattan exactly the way I liked it and never with the cherry!

cheers - yeah, Izzy’s is still great and bonus for open table. I bet that even their prime rib au jus is better than house of prime rib. Not as good as but better. Of course I’d have to order it first, but even the prime rib at original Joe’s is pretty great. I can see the value of just going to Izzy’s when in pac heights.

the old San Francisco still had severe income inequality, severe homeless tent life, and severe traffic. What it lacked was a wealth of sushi & Wagyu, a better selection of breweries and draft beer, better donut choices, and more car services so that we didn’t have to deal with so many drunk drivers. It used to be so hard to get taxis and sometimes I’d have to walk miles in the middle of the night to get home. Now I can drunkenly enjoy 2a donuts, knowing that some phone clicks will get me home.

I completely disagree with your assessment of "old" SF. It's long been a mecca for great sushi and beer.

Gentle reminder that any further discussion of non-dining matters (transportation, homeless, etc.) needs to move to the San Francisco forum. Thanks

We made a decent dent in the pot of pea soup - made 14-18 servings - dipping biscuits into the soup.

In the mood for Mexican cuisine tonight, and dropped by a local place to pick up some super quesadillas. I've been there enough where the restaurant is familiar with my tastes, and I always order it with carnitas, where they'll generously give me a double serving of the pork; suffice it to say, they're well familiar with my penchant for meat. Well, not sure if it's the shortage, but they were out of it today.

So, caught off guard, I choose chicken instead. Ah, it's not the same! Kind of how for my tastes, I like duck in Chinese cuisine the best, when it comes to pork, I like the way it's prepared in Mexican cuisine the best. This chicken quesadilla just isn't going to do it. I really hope we're not having a shortage of pigs.

Bit bored with lamb so I took the marked-down stuff I've been gathering in the freezer (intended for sop kambing) and am making a batch of nasi briyani.kambing (one today, one fresh for tomorrow).
