Pork and kimchi stirfry aka Jaeyook kimchi bokeum. Rice seasoned with smoked bonito shavings (katsuo furikake) and roasted nori.

Made my 50-50 chorizo chuck burger with a fried egg and avocado on brioche. Side of sweet potato fries that are most definitely not homemade, but are baked so I like to think that they're healthy
This burger looks and sounds amazing.
Strawberry shortcake. I whipped that cream with a balloon whisk, and baked the shortcake on the gas grill. Yee haw.
Also posted in smoked thread, but so delish I had to share. Swineapple. That's all
Made some homemade bacon.
Rubbed with salt, curing salt, sugar, spices and herbs.

On occasion, I get to do a "secret shop" for a big organic chain store. I get a $50 gift card for my time. This last time, I got two dry-aged ribeye steaks. Put them in the freezer and tonight was the night to cook those puppies! OH they were good. $26.99 a pound good? Well, maybe - but FREE good, they most definitely were!
KOTC built a lovely fire in the small tabletop Weber we use for a steak or two, nice split oakwood, and then he threw on a big handful of freshly-cut rosemary sprigs just seconds before those steaks went on. Cooked perfectly; we had baked potatoes with butter and Greek yogurt, he had a tomato/red onion/avocado/feta salad with homemade vinaigrette and I had avocado slices with mayo. No pics, who thinks of that when faced with such a feast, but suffice it to say it was all absolutely delectable - not the least of which was a nice glass of 2008 Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cab.
Need help coming up with a recipe for tonight. I'm tired of the usual stuff.
When in doubt, tacos!
YES! And I just remembered I has pulled some taco meat out of the freezer to have on hand this weekend!
And I just remembered that we have some friends taking us out to eat tonight anyways...![]()
