Pesto & Ricotta Chicken with Tomato Vinaigrette. Recipe in picture.


Back at work now, and so my meal is a regimented eight pieces of fruit, two crackers, a handful of nuts, and half a can of diet soda.
I try to avoid too many fatty or high-sodium foods while working.


I turned 33 on Monday this week. We had seafood 잡채, beef, and grilled pork 쌈. A nice red beer went with the meal.
My mother made Mandu (만두) and Moon cakes with red bean and coconut fillings. We will also have Patbingsu (팥빙수) later.












It’s Thanksgiving once again. I love this time of year. I get all the holidays and my birthday all occurring right after each other. It can be an exciting time of year for me.
We had pumpkin pie, apple cobbler, stuffing, turkey, gravy, stewed veggies, three bean salad, and cranberry jelly.




We’re having Mapo Tofu for dinner tonight.
Also, have spring rolls.






Dinner consisted of Gyros and tabouli, and my mother made some nice naan to go with it.





I was enlisted this evening to help prep the meal.
My uncle wanted to cook Tumbet, which is a sort of Spanish casserole.
I have pictures of the prepped ingredients.
We also had a locally made cheese, some sausage, and a bottle of Pinot Grigio Venezia (Torresella).













Tonight’s meal was prepared by my father.
He chose to cook up some lamb chops seasoned with rosemary. A bowl of thinly sliced and quartered cucumber in sour cream and oil.
Using a steam convection oven, a platter of potatoes, carrots, and onions was also cooked.
Our wine for the evening is a Bourgogne Pinot Noir (Pierre Gruber). Dessert was Turkish sweets.
Lastly, boiled cabbage with raisins lightly peppered.
I am afraid I have once more spaced out taking the photos.
All I have are pictures of the leftovers.








I am afraid hunger got the best of me, and I forgot to post tonight’s dinner. Ate it all up without a single picture. I shall do my best to describe it in detail without the photos.
My uncle made a dish of fried pita bread left over from the night before with some tomatoes and sliced beef that had been tenderized.

We also picked up a bottle of old vine Lodi Zinfandel 2016 (Gnarly Head) from the neighborhood shop. Quite a nice pairing with the meal.

After dinner, I had some Moroccan Mint Green tea (Stash) and we settled in to watch the French film MicMacs suggested by my uncle.
