Last night we had some people over and I made Momofuku Bossam Korean slow roasted pork butt. Outstanding, again.
Tonight I'm making a Bayless recipe- sort of a quesadilla with melted cheese and shrimp in a red sauce.
Tomorrow, Asian seared tuna with sesame. Gonna try to recreate a side that always comes with this at Tiburan's in Salt Lake- a sweet spaghetti squash. Gonna mix the squash with some mirin and brown sugar. Also making a side of Japanese eggplant/bell peppers/miso.
Sunday, leftovers.
How about you?
Thanks, Eric, and Happy St. Patrick's Day to all. I'm doing a belated celebration. My grandson loves corned beef, and he'll be staying with us next week, so I'm making it when he's here

Dinner Update: apparently the grass fed organic farm we got meat from recently is not that good. The strip steaks we made last weekend were tough (cooked medium) and this corned beef was really bad. Super fatty. We had enough sides and everything to make the dinner worth while. Beware the local farm meat, not always as good as it sounds.
Salt lake to Zion to page Arizona to Bryce to canyon lands to capital reef to arches
Planned many activities. Kayak ATV. White water rafting. Biking. And walking the narrows
Anything that’s a must that I may have missed. Appreciate any advice. Thx

Sorry to hear that, Eric. You do your best, but you never know. I hope you had enough Irish whiskey to get you past the corned beef :) When I was in Utah, I had a patient who raised hogs and I bought half a hog from her. It was awful :)

Hey, Earl. Utah is just magnificent that time of year. You're gonna love being outdoors. Biking and hiking is great, I'm sure the rafting will be, also. Sounds like you're gonna cover a lot of ground. Other than the parks, not a lot of real tourist stuff. If you're a history buff, when in SLC you might want to take a trip up to Promontory Point, where they drove the Golden Rail for the railroad. Not great, but about the best there is to offer :) If you're staying in SLC, my favorite restaurant is Tiburon, in Sandy. Park City is also a nice day trip, about 45 minutes out of SLC. I'm sure there are some great hikes in the Cottonwood Canyons. In Moab, Canyonlands and Arches for sure. Also some nice jeep tours over the rocks with a view of the Colorado. Don't expect any good food outside of SLC and Park City. Tell everyone I said hi :)

Most breakfasts will be cold cereal with almond milk, lunches will be an apple and a piece of toast, and afternoon snack will be popcorn or a Nature Valley crunchy granola bar.
Why do you ask?

Earl, if you hike, there's a nice hike in Arches called Fiery Furnace. We went on the guided tour, but I think you can also make reservations to go unguided. I don't think it was very strenuous, but an interesting hike. Also, a bit tougher, but Mrs. in UT and I did it this year and we're 73, was the Sunrise-Sunset hike in Bryce. You go down to the base of the Canyon. I think it's maybe 2 miles at most, but some up and down. We do moderate hikes pretty regularly, tho, as a point of reference. We started on the end that goes pretty much straight down and came up the side with the more gradual incline. Make sure you bring plenty of water if you hike.

Also, Earl. We skied at Snowbasin, near Ogden. In the summer you can take a chairlift, just for the scenery, or take a bike up and ride the bike down, your own bike, or they rent. Some of the other ski areas do that also, I'm sure. And some may have water slides. Also, you can go around the Olympic training venues in Park City. Park City has cooler temps, some shopping up and down Main Street, and some decent restaurants.

chiming in - going June 18-28, Vermillion Cliffs, Monument Valley, Bluff, Arches and Capitol Reef (Rt. 12, if it’s open) - hitting as many of those intriguing neolithic ruins as we can along the way…got some great recs from posters in an earlier thread, thanks again.

Have a great time
They make a nice Irish Red beside all their other beers.
Mrs. in CT making her corned beef and cabbage for us and Miss in CT & a few of her friends tonight.
Sunday in the mood for orecchiete with sausage and broccoli rabe so having that. And will indulge one of my few favorite desserts sfingi di San Giuseppe for St Joseph's Day.
Great having you back Bill.

That sounds like a really fun setup, Fred.

The flounder sounds wonderful, Victor. It used to be my go-to, but I haven't had any in about 25 years. They don't sell it out West. Easy on the dessert, my friend :)
Thanks, Drew
Tonight, we have some friends coming over who like spicy food so I am making Peri-Peri chicken with chermoula sauce and saffron preserved lemon basmati rice and roasted broccolini. I am going to SV chicken leg quarters in the marinade then grilling them and use the marinade for basting.
Sunday, I bought some Momofuku ramen noodles from Whole foods a week or so ago. I’m planning on making it with Ossabaw ground pork, scallions, garlic, ginger, asparagus, soy, sesame oil and chili crunch. It will be my first time using these noodles and not making a actual soup with ramen so hoping for the best.
Cod cakes sounds like a great choice. I haven't had them in forever. Gotta get them in my schedule. Thanks
No sausage??? Sorry, I wish I could help you, but I don't have any swordfish recipes.

Hey, Scott. Great to be back. I've got one recipe for peri peri chicken, which I haven't made, but 2 recipes (1 African, 1 Portuguese) for piri piri chicken, which I loved. I guess it's just a different spelling for the same thing. Enjoy it. That pork dish sounds outstanding also. I bought some chili crunch a couple of weeks ago, but haven't used it yet.
This is pretty much how I do it- I usually go with a mix of sliced green Castelvetrano and black Kalamata olives and the more anchovies the better for me.
https://www.saveur.com/article/Recipes/swordfish-puttanesca/
Very simple: on the grill or in a grill pan on the stove, salt, pepper olive oil. when done squeeze some fresh lemon juice on each side.
Simple: livornese. for 2 swordfish steaks, sear on each side for about 30 secs on high heat, remove, add garlic, olive oil, salt pepper and a pinch of red pepper flakes, deglaze with white wine, add 1 16 oz can diced tomatoes, capers and sliced kalamata olives (spoonful of each). when it bubbles add fish back in, cook 3-5 mins on each side on med-low heat depending on thickness. should have enough sauce left for spaghetti too.
LOL Bill
