    We made these jerk sunchokes with beans & rice for dinner last night. The sauce was good as were the beans and rice, but the flavor didn't infuse the sunchokes and I missed that. I'd probably try to figure out how to get more of the sauce into them, if we do this again.

    Good to know, I'll let her know.

    Ordered this. Today. To toast you. Yes, it's LebTav. Yes, it's probably good to great, and not extraordinary. With years since my last tasting, it read as revelatory to me. And the lighting flash of the server's eyes, followed by the silent, solemn placing of plate on the bar made me wonder if they knew my inspiration. They inadvertantly honored you. Good job, universe! /this dish remains ragingly difficult to find in North Texas suburbs //perhaps one day ///and until then

    There was a fire at Keren back in February.

    Keren is temporarily closed, but perhaps only for renovations. For Ethiopian, I've had very good (not great) meals recently at Tsehay in Adams-Morgan and at Chercher in Bethesda (and I assume the quality is similar at the D.C. location).

    The singing doesn't start until later. We were there at 7 last time and it's just eating at that point.

    I bought a small pork loin roast on sale at Whole Foods and cooked it in the air fryer last night. It came out really well. Before cooking, I seasoned it with rubbed sage, dried thyme, onion and garlic powders, a little turmeric, and salt and pepper. We had this with more green beans and leftover mashed potatoes with morels, plus a salad. The salad was baby greens, carrots, hard-boiled egg, Campari tomatoes, and radishes with vinaigrette.

    I’ve been traveling for two weeks and came home to an empty refrigerator. Fortunately, I had both shrimp and broccoli in the freezer. So lunch was a shrimp and broccoli stirfry Asian style. I would have preferred fresh broccoli, but the substitute was fine.

    Probably fairly early (5:30ish perhaps). I'll let you know what she wants to do. She wasn't overly impressed that it seems more a karaoke bar than restaurant.

    Often the menus will offer a “gluten-free” injera option. Those are the teff ones.

    I've got a baseball game and other stuff on Sunday, but I could be interested in a dinner if there is a subsequent one.
  15. Ericandblueboy
    I'm interested and I'm seeing who else I can drag along. What time are you thinking?

    Made a Provence-style sauce with roughly chopped fresh tomato, onion, garlic, capers, herbs and a glug of white wine. Air fried some halibut to rest on the sauce, drizzle of high quality EVOO and basil - delicious.

    Playing catch-up here again. We did Taco Tuesday and made these Cajun shrimp tacos. We skipped the hard shell tacos but made everything else. We also did some pulled mushroom tacos as well. On Wednesday, we made this Thai crunch chicken salad with a mango jalapeno rotisserie chicken for the shredded chicken. Really liked this salad. We couldn't find fried wonton noodles so skipped those. The last recipe of the week was this Mushroom Pancit from the WashPo (gift link). I'd never made this before but definitely enjoyed it and will try other variations in the future.

    Chicken Marsala with Mushrooms last night, with one of those wild rice/couscous combos on the side with broccoli. I put a seasoned, rubbed with Worchestershire sauce eye round of beef in my sous vide at 12:30 a.m. and let it cook until almost 8 pm. I had that this evening with fresh spinach that I cooked down with a little water then added olive oil and garlic to cook down more. Also little yellow potatoes roasted with olive oil, S&P.

    Grover and I are going to make a dinner trip to check out the food. If it's up to her standards (and the haemul panjang with shrimp is definitely interesting) we may propose a Don Rockwell dinner here. We're planning on going next Sunday if anyone would like to tag along. Post and let me know you'd like to join us (and aren't afraid to let someone else order) and we'll set a time. BTW, they do have a website now. From the pictures, the food looks very good.

    Well, you did say “all” suggestions … I haven’t been to Ethiopic since it first opened. If you’ve been there, you don’t need my opinion. If you haven’t, I would have described it as “the Rasika of Ethiopian restaurants.” If that’s your thing, you might not mind the “modern” (I would say “California-roll”) variant on the cuisine. (Incidentally, for those who wish to distinguish between Ethiopian and Eritrean, several Eritrean-Americans I’ve talked with recommend Keren which has been in Adams Morgan seemingly forever.) One question people may wish to ask any candidate Ethiopian restaurant: “Is your injera made with teff?”

    The menu got bigger. The seafood pancake had nicely cooked shrimp as well as squid. It would be perfect if just a little crispier on the outside. The also have spicy jokbal - I really wanted to try it but my stomach just can't handle spicy food these days and I was told these were really spicy. They also have a cold buck wheat noodle dish that tastes similar to japchae (sauce was on the side and they give you a plastic glove so you can pour the sauce on and mix the whole thing up with your hand). The crowd is mostly young and Korean. The QR code menu has pictures of all the dishes....that really helped us. The prices are reasonable, cheap even considering the amount of food they throw at you.

    I bought some morels at the H Street market today. Very extravagant purchase but worth it. I sauteed them in butter with fresh thyme, salt and pepper and then mixed them in with some very buttery and creamy mashed yukon gold potatoes. We also had green beans and roasted chicken leg quarters. There was a salad of mixed greens, radishes, cucumber, hard-boiled egg, and grape tomatoes, with the last of the avocado and feta salsa we'd been having with salmon.

    Is Chercher still a good bet? Looking for a place in DC or Arlington for a meal next week. I see they have locations in both. And how is Ethiopic these days? All suggestions welcome.

    Last night I made what was supposed to be salmon bowls over rice but did it instead as a 1 1/3 lb. fillet cooked with the same sauce and accompanied on a plate by asparagus with ramp persillade, and TJ's Thai wheat noodles dressed with a sesame soy condiment that came from a Foxtrot* takeout. It came out quite well. My husband especially liked the avocado and feta salsa that went with the salmon. *They shut their entire business operation (35 locations) down suddenly yesterday after I'd already been in the store, so I won't be getting that again. RIP Foxtrot. My condolences to their screwed over employees.

    It was packed when I was there this morning. The shelves and cases are emptying quickly. I heard one woman say she's coming back every day until they close. If there is something you really want, get there ASAP. SIgh. That space was Marvelous Market, then Silver Spork. This was a somewhat different type of place, and I really liked their coffee.

    I ate at the (only) McDonald's in Beijing when I studied in China in 1993. At the time (this may still be true; I'm not sure) it was the biggest McDonald's in the world. It had just opened the year before. I don't remember much about the food, but I do remember it was packed with mostly Chinese people (not many foreigners in China in 1993, even in Beijing). I didn't go for the food (I rarely ate at McDonald's at home and wasn't missing American food too much at that point) but more for the kitsch factor. I only went that one time. I think that was the only McDonald's in China at the time, but I remember seeing LOTS of KFCs throughout the country (don't think I ever ate at one). They also had Pizza Hut. As for eating fast food on vacation, our first stop after the airport on West Coast trips is In-N-Out if we can swing it.
