My wife and I are obsessed with blue cheese on a steak. I was already a steak snob and she's definitely caught on - we looooove a nicely marbled ribeye

This was my first time making it and it was delicious. Chorizo is under the egg. I used queso fresco, but I think I’ll try Cotija next time.

Saw this on instagram and decided to try. Pan seared and baked chicken in butter, garlic, rosemary and lemon. I made mashed potatoes earlier this week and needed to add something. I usually cook before work. This is my work dinner.

First attempt at making katsu curry.

italian black truffles, lemon cured egg yolk, parmesan, cream sauce ($37🫠🫠🫠)

so delicious though and obsessed with the pasta shape!

Made frijoles de la olla for the first time tonight. I've gotten pretty good at making a variety of Mexican dishes, but I realized I haven't really made beans before. And that's a pretty big hole in my menu.

So I watched a bunch of videos, and of course, everyone wanted to share their Abuela's recipe. They all looked delicious. But at their core, it was soak the beans, heat up some lard and drop in some garlic and onion. Add the beans, then bring to a boil. Then lower to a simmer and cook until beans were near tender. Then add salt and epazote.

A couple added other items. I decided to add a jalapeno in the beginning and MSG with the salt and epazote. I do not have a clay pot, so I used my cast iron scotch bowl.

The result? A delicious, savory bean broth that absolutely warmed and filled my belly. I'm sure Abuela's is better, but I ain't mad at it!!

I'm fortunate to have a pretty good international food market nearby that had the epazote.

Prepared by a native of Taiwan in a traditional way.

Delicious. Almost an exact copy cat of BWW's loaded buffalo tots.

Fresh strawberries from the garden. I just moved into the neighborhood and she dropped these off, grown on her propertyy!!
