Thank you, I’m starting PT at home tomorrow and that will help build my strength and stamina. I’ll be okay, and back to brewing soon.
What did I cook this weekend.....

I grilled tuna collars, that were served with sautéed veggies and bread. Hubby and I worked together on this one. The tuna was delish, if you have the opportunity to get collars just do it.
I've never had them but have been told they're delicious. Where did you find them?
I got these from Unami cart, which has shipping limitations, but Fulton‘s Fish market sells and ships 3 types of collars at the moment, and will likely be the next purchase for me.

Porcini donuts w/ raclette cheese on top.
Mmmmm, hamachi kama was one of my favorite choices at our fave Japanese joint. I miss that place SO MUCH! No good sushi to speak of around here. Insert very sad face.
Wow. No posts since Tuesday! That's pretty unusual.
Dinner Friday was Caprese salad, spicy crispy green beans, baked potatoes, and rib eye.
Yesterday was a play in the pool with the grandkids day. I tried to keep dinner simple by just doing hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill, but then made two starters. Feta and red pepper dip with pita bread was super simple and super delicious. Then Kolokithokeftedes with Tzatziki and Russian Dressing dipping sauces which were not simple but completely over the top flavor wise!!

DANG Travis you got me drooling all over myself here! YUM to all that!
Ribs on this beautiful Sunday
@Elkobrewer I like your helper dog too!
Thanks
The zucchini ball things were just amazing. Tasted something similar at the greek place in town the other day, and had to recreate them. These were very close if not better. And I finally have a Tzatziki recipe that I love. All the others I have tried have been lacking. And the Russian dressing is a goto standard that I use on Rubens and Pastrami, as well as salads and subs. Thanks to Emeril for that recipe.
So yesterday morning I was watching some YouTube and came across Sam the Cooking Guy making Hatch Green Chili Cornbread. It flung a cravin on me!
I can't justify buying Hatch chilies right now, because I have an Anaheim plant in the yard that is producing more chilies than I can use, and since they are grown here in the Texas heat, it's hard to tell the difference between them and Hatch chilies.
So I roasted them, peeled, deseeded, and diced, then followed the rest of the recipe exactly with shredded cheddar, and about half the bacon called for. Just fantastic cornbread!
Also made banana bread and did ultimate toasted cheese steak sandwiches for dinner with left over rib eye, toasted french bread, cheddar, gouda, and munster toasted under the broiler. No pictures of those.

I watched that StCG episode. His cornbread looked fantastic. Glad to hear yours turned out so good.
So I want to do another Tri-Tip party. Made these Rancho Gordo Pinquito beans today to try them out. Just amazing!

Have you tried growing them yet (any RG beans)? We have our corona bean bush/tree/thing dying off now, and we're curious when to harvest the pods and beans. RG hasn't responded to any of my emails : )
Chicken, mash, and fresh carrots. Simple fare, and hubby is happy not to have cooking duties.
No, you told me you had, but I have not tried yet. These little pink beans would be a great one to try though. These are really delicious. Also would love to try and get cranberry beans to grow!

Going to try out a really nice Cuban Black Bean recipe within the next day or so (still need the All Natural Mushroom Seasoning). I did get the Sazon today in the mail. I meant to buy 9 packets and accidentally bought 180 packets.

I was inspired to Google. I got this:
Greek Feta and Red Pepper Dip
8 oz high-quality feta cheese
6 oz roasted red peppers (can use jarred)
1/4 t salt
1/8 t red pepper flakes
2 T olive oil
Pulse everything but olive oil. Slowly add olive oil and pulse
How close did I get?
Tonight I grilled halibut collars with a light coating of teriyaki sauce brushed on. Served with mash and fresh green beans. And, an appetizer of steamers (soft shell clams).
Not exactly a nice sear on this blue fin tuna, but it was delicious anyway, with broccoli and soba noodles.
Mmmmm Merry! What are you putting on your soba noodles? I have a package of them but haven't yet decided on the treatment they will receive....
Making carnitas tacos with 90 second microwave tortillas tonight. They are low carb and gluten-free and they fry up brown and crispy. I also make cinnamon crispas with them for dessert. Will try to remember to post a picture!

Kid's got a fever. Time for my Grandma's penicillin.
I put a small amount of sesame oil and some oyster sauce, some garlic and ginger would have been nice too.
Taco Night.
Beef with onion, poblano, and spices. Simmered with some Mateo's hatch chile salsa. Shredded Cabot to satisfy this misplaced Yankee.
Quinoa with avocado, tomato, lime dressing.
Spiced sweet potato.
A local Vienna lager.

Spot on. Very simple recipe. Important to buy block feta, and not the pre-crumbled. We had both, and did a side by side taste test and there is no comparison at all. The block feta is WAY better. This dip also makes a great sandwich, much like pimento cheese, BTW
I used store bought Pita instead of making my own this time. Just cut the pita up into triangles, through them on a sheet pan, and baked them for 5 minutes. This dip with warm pita is just great
I cooked nothing this weekend, but I did remove, disassemble, replace seals, reassemble, and reinstall a leaking pool pump. So we went out and ate Italian food yesterday. Oh what I would give to be able to make the dish I usually get from there. Gianni's Special. Chicken sautéed with sausage, ham. roasted peppers, black olives, mushrooms, in a white wine cream sauce with a touch of marinara. Just AMAZING. Part of the secret is that they make their own Italian Sausage daily and it is to die for. I have made Italian sausage a few time, but never one like theirs. All the other ingredients are top notch, and the sauce is just over the top. They make it sound simple as a "white wine cream sauce with a touch of marinara" but it can't possibly be that simple.

Just by the look from your photo of the dip above, it looked stellar. I will be roasting the peppers myself as that is a very easy step to complete.
Thank you for the info.

My mom was Hungarian so I've been eating cabbage rolls my whole life.
Looks good.

My grandparents were Polish. So this is a familiar meal for me as well.
I added a piece of kielbasa to hubby’s plate… he was a happy Pole last night.
Steak night, local market had the porterhouse on sale for 7.99 lb and Long Island corn at a good price as well.
Thai Drunken Noodles with Zucchini and chicken last night. Doubled the recipe because I did not want to fight my wife for the leftovers today! Only used 4 red serranos from the garden, so I added some Sriracha to my bowl.
Totally agree! I have not seen cod at my Costco. I will have to look again next time I'm in there. Been getting great Mahi there for a long time though. My goto for fish tacos, either fried, grilled, or baked.

It's a very recent addition (Roseville, Mi.). Price is what got me to buy. I'll have to check that Mahi out; I'm thinking that baking that cod has put me on a fish kick for a while.
Edit: the one thing I wasn't thrilled by was the wasteful packaging that can't be recycled--I, at least, couldn't find the chasing arrow symbol. Long, clear-plastic base and then vacu-sealed.
