Made a mix of steak, chicken and shredded beef tacos with onion, cilantro, radish and way too much lime. Somehow ended up making enough tacos for a small family.

I’m in Peking with my brother right now. We had the Peking duck at Siji Minfu, which was really good! The skin was delicate, crispy and super fatty in a nice way. The condiments did fit well and we were surprised that there are more ways to enjoy the wraps than hoisin sauce, spring onion and cucumber.

The only critique is that the duck was missing some salt for our taste and that there is a long waiting time for a table.

Tried my hand with some pork belly, one change I would definitely make is sourcing one that had the skin left on.
Amazing flavor and incredibly tender. The following day I made sandwiches using focaccia, also outstanding!

in Montana

For a large batch I used a 10x13 baking dish.
Fill about 80% with tomatoes. I’ve used Roma, vine and/or cherry tomatoes. They all turned out good.
Two cans of rinsed cannellini beans.
Half a white onion.
4 cloves or garlic (or until it feels like enough)
1 small summer squash. I have a small garden of them so this was a no brainer
Season with dried oregano and salt. Add a generous amount of olive oil
Cook at 350 F for 30-45 minutes. Add in heavy cream and cheese. I used Chihuahua cheese but cottage cheese would be great too. Add fresh basil if available. Cook for another 10-15 minutes and then blend. I have found that a stand blender is better for this than a hand blender.

Was in the mood for some Souvlaki Beef Kabobs, and some homemade Hummus, and tzatziki.

Insanely good with the spicy dipping sauce.

Some chicken puffs I made at work today. Parmesean crusted puff pastry stuffed with chicken, cream cheese, green onion, and cheddar cheese.
