last few meals in japan and korea… fugu (poison tiger puffer fish) and fugu shirako (the white reproductive organs or basically the sperm of the male fugu) both tasteless and expensive.. shabu shabu with some of the best beef from Kobe. again, tasteless and expensive… a little river fish from a tempura lunch. i love how they present these.. and back to seoul… soy sauce marinated raw crab packed with roe. delicious and rarely served in US koreatowns. i don’t think they can get this species of crab. closest would be maryland blue, but not really… a rather famous myeongdong beef brisket and tripe stew. a bowl costs around $20 US. i guess you can say its priced to match current economic conditions in seoul. wonderful taste like a clear consommé and a midday snack. i don’t know what this is. but it was delicious..🤤 and some comic relief..

Not pretty but super delicious. Roadkill chook alla @Aussie Ora with extra added suya spice.

You're bread shaming me now. So far, I have been to our local bakery and they won't give or sell me their starter. I have also bought the latest Chad Robertson book as recommended by @Syzygies. I have opened the page where it tells you how to start your starter. I will get to it...

What section were you in? I just bought tickets for The Dead & Company next week Friday, May 31st. I bought tickets in Section 209.

Grilled a lovely flat iron steak last night, along with some bacon-wrapped asparagus. Leftover au gratin potatoes and nice side salad rounded things out. Unfortunately, the radar said that it was going to rain, so I ended up eating indoors instead of outside in the gazebo, as I had planned.

Cooked a sirloin cap with potatoes and asparagus. with a nice spicy chimichurri. Prepping for a nice Sunday afternoon sandwich... sorry no pics of the completed sandwich, it was pretty special

Beautiful weekend here (upper 80s). I put up the cover on the gazebo. Calls for the 1st outdoor dinner of the season! Grilled a nice fat porkchop (on sale $1.99/lb!), with zucchini, and au gratin potatoes. Nice Pinot Noir to round it all out!

Desem starter showing signs of life after one week.

18 hr low and slow boston butt - best ever! Flavor hack - add additional rub AFTER you pull it. Puts flavor in every bite….
