Last night on the patio had a delicious soft shell crab in yellow curry sauce special. 
Don’t miss this dish. 

Does anyone know who I can contact for an at home catered dinner?

thanks in advance 

Any idea where to fine them?

Giving a shout out to Nazret!

We ordered a takeout meal last night for 4 of us.
Called  in the order and was ready in 25 minutes for curbside pickup.

We ordered 2 veggie platters for 2 one with awaze tibs  added and one with chicken tibs. The food was packaged in a rectangular aluminum pan with the  

individual dishes placed on the injera as if served on a platter in the restaurant. Plus 8 pieces of injera.

The meat and chicken were freshly cooked and delicious as were the veggies, each with their different flavors. 
Excellent meal with leftovers.

Et Voila! ?

The price of the veggie panino is now $12.75!!

I’m listing this here because we ordered the food shipped to us . It’s been a long pandemic and we were looking for something different that we could not get in DC. A friend suggested ordering pastrami from Katz’s and we did. It was delicious and as good as I remembered from in person visits years ago. We also ordered mustard and bread and potato knishes. The rye looked right but was still packaged when we received it.They suggested warming it but tho it had that ny rye taste, it was just not quite there. But the pastrami which comes frozen( who knew that could work)and vacuum sealed and comes with heating instructions proved to be truly great !!  The six of us all agreed that although the pandemic bar is low, these sandwiches were delicious. The knishes were just ok.

We have done takeout from Shirlington twice and have been very happy. The pot stickers, cumin lamb and the rice cakes with beef have all been excellent and packed well and steaming hot when we got home to a Baileys X roads.

I'm also on the search for a good basket or grill fish plate. Wife has been getting tired of salmon dishes. 

Picked up the Sur La Table Cast Iron Fish Pan last weekend but haven't used it yet. Instead broiled some Hake in the toaster oven which turned up pretty good. 

Please let me know how it works. Thanks 

Looking to find a good basket to grill whole fish on outdoor grill. Reviews all seem to be negative . Any suggestions?

Planning an overnight at the end of the month to celebrate a big anniversary. Any recent meals or stays?

baked char siu bao, Korean style beef and sticky rice, and roasted green beans with ginger and shallots 

Mother’s Day dinner cooked by my girls 

Last  night Grilled shrimp tacos, salsa, chips and guacamole, bean corn salad, green salad, Maida Heatter’s blueberry crumb cake with macerated blueberry topping. The organic blueberries from Costco have been really good this week with that delicious blueberry flavor.

Wishing I were in Greece ... making fasolakia.

Small Seder this year but beats the zoom Seder last year! We usually have 25-30 guests. having a bit of trouble scaling down.

Have made chicken soup, mixed matzo ball batter, made gefilte fish from WF cod and salmon..hate the extortionate price of the traditional lake fish which have questionable amounts of chemicals anyway- and it tastes if not the same better. I have used halibut or rockfish in the past .

Marinating chicken for Marbella- kids favorite 

matzo farfel to be made- mushrooms onions 

horseradish grated

asparagus to be steamed and marinated 

NYT toffee chocolate matzo for dessert

Playing with my gifted instantpot and made pulled chicken with kitchen made Carolina gold barbecue sauce.

Will make cilantro lime slaw and black beans and serve on slider rolls.

Just looked ^^^those^^^ up and they do look delicious. I'm not big on pancakes, except once in a while I want them, and I've been craving blueberry pancakes.

Something might be different with this particular recipe,  but I always end up freezing pancakes when I make them because we just don't eat many, and they hold up pretty well, in my experience.

These are seriously delicious and I make them maybe once a year for houseguests- no guests this year:(.

the separating and  whipping of the egg whites is different from other recipes- didn’t have whole milk and they are just as good .

Chicken shawarma (NYT), roasted eggplant with herbs and feta  salad

( Ottolenghi) hummus, tomato salad, kalamata olives and WF garlic naan.

Clinton Street Bakery pancakes some blueberry some banana. Very decadent! I halved the recipe but had many leftovers  which I will attempt to freeze and see how that goes.

They are in my opinion the best!

what about this?

Last night NYT recipe for Thai inspired chicken meatball soup

https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1020631-thai-inspired-chicken-meatball-soup

Added lemongrass, galangal and makrut lime leaves to the broth and increased the broth/coconut milk ratio to favor the broth. It was delicious but most surprising were the chicken meatballs, which I baked rather than fried. I’d never thought about making chicken meatballs but used Bell and Evans ground chicken breast and they turned out great! I think I’ll try making Italian seasoned meatballs next.
