What did you cook or eat today (May 2025)?

an especially tasty ground beef / pasta recipe, one out of tens-of-thousands....

Ribs out of the smoker and waiting for a quick blast with some sort of coating (not 100% certain on what yet) and a mooli and cucumber salad. The rest is yet to be made.
Had the tempura chicken burgers while we wait for the youngest to finish work.

Smoked ribs waiting for a bit of a glaze.

Pinched a bit off the end (taste testing to determine the best glaze flavour 😉) and am happy with the maple wood smoke.
Looking forward to the corn on the cob and potato salad to go with it shortly
And big whoop I’m up to cooking a bit again 👏
 
I have three basil plants and they are all doing well. Along with the two sage and two oregano plants and two rosemary plants. I’m going to make rosemary salt one day next week and give friends some of it.
I've got a box I'm preparing to grow herbs in but somehow it keeps getting waysided... I've got a mint box going so that's good but the herb box is much bigger and requires more carpentry skills and tools than I have to assemble properly. It's going to look like a cross between a carpenter and an electrician built it... 😁

New place for us, and when we saw the beer list, we almost got up and left, but the waiter stopped us and assured us that wasn’t the full list, and are we glad we listened. This was the best dining experience we’ve had in a long time, even if it wasn’t “fine” dining.

Restaurant is chef-owned, and nearly everything, right down to the condiments, is made in-house. The sourdough for the pizza is from starter that the chef has been using since he was a teenager. The reuben, he does his own corned beef, sauerkraut, and dressing in the restaurant. It’s not a chain, and the chef is just about 24/7.

Even the fries, even after they’d gone nearly cold at the end of the meal…they were still crispy. Everything was exactly right, and excellent service as well.

Just moved up to our standard place when we’re in the area.
