Carne con papas en salsa verde.

 

Anyone else use a splash of fish sauce or some anchovy paste in their sketti?? You’re welcome.

 

Ummmmm NO. Don't need no fish sketti.

 

I always use anchovies when making marinara. Fish sauce, hard nope.

Nobody could even tell anchovies are in it, but the slight salty umami they add is great.

 

Ending a 3 week / 3 country work travel stent in London. The wife flew out to spend a few days before heading home. I could really use your thoughts and prayers right now…

$80 USD at a highly recommended Tuscan restaurant

I added the salt/pepper. You don’t need to wrap a bone when deep frying veal… it was also way overcooked


Seasonless steamed broccoli


Mashed potatoes made with WATER and no seasoning… but it did have lumps, so that’s something.

 

We decided to do breakfast in house

Bird’s beak chile chorizo eggs on spinach and white cheddar toast

 

This is a crime against humanity

 

Stop letting your wife pick the restaurants. I had some damn good food when I was in the UK and Ireland.

 

London has great Indian food. Everything else sucks.

 

Same for fish sauce! Try it.

 

Are you still in London? I have a couple of GREAT recommendations!

 

Fish ‘n Chips>>>> Fryer’s delight
Steak>>>> Macellaio

 

I put a stainless prep table in my kitchen.

 

That’s cool. I’d love that! It was cool to have a marble table as a kid for all the baking and candy making shtuff. Wouldn’t mind a triple sink either.

 

Ribs that have been in the oven way past my bed time. Some homemade hawaiian mac and a fuck you slaw kit

Just put a couple dashes in my batch.

 

I never used to do it, but now that I am old and have zero tolerance for BS, I will just tell the waiter that it is terrible, and I am not paying for it. I will take a lot, but there is a point where I will draw the line and say that I am not willing to pay $80 for what they gave me. I fortunately only had to do it once; at Texas Roadhouse where everyone raves about the steak - I ordered a steak medium rare; it came well done and bone dry. I sent it back. Waited forever, everyone else at the table was done eating when they brought my replacement and it was just as dry. So I just asked them to take it back and remove it from my bill. No fuss, nobody was mad at anybody, Manager came to apologize - he saw the steak and admitted it was not medium rare. But I definitely don't want to pay for a dry steak when I can make a much better steak at home for a fraction of the cost.

Tacos for us.
