3 hours in the dutch oven coq au vin
Scotch Eggs. In retrospect, I shoulda put the eggs in the foreground in the mustard in the background.
My first shot at Mabel's Ghanaian Jollof rice. Forgot to add the sardines, so that'll be the main tweak next time I do this recipe (that and getting dried thyme, using it fresh was a pain). Best-tasting meal I've had in the year thus far.
Not dinner...but soon to be part of one. Farmer cheese

I’m on a work trip and I’ve been using Uber Eats and Skip the Dishes.
I second this, but man I realized I almost never actually eat at a restaurant anymore. Just kinda weird.
This I can relate to. My gf refuses to try it, even though it's just chicken in a cream sauce.
I have a 12lb bag of black beans I keep meaning to go through, except I don't know any recipes that use them in significant amounts. A friend suggested I look up feijoada, so here's my first batch from last night:
I think it needs more meat types (I had bacon and hocks, I think I'll add small ribs and some sort of sausage next time), more spice, and more lime juice. Overall, it's a pretty fantastic use for black beans.

Piss off the Texans and make chili.
I have, but I actually prefer soybeans and pintos for that (or no beans at all), black beans are slightly tougher than what I shoot for mouthfeel-wise.Butter chicken and vegetable tikka masala
Balsamic pork loin
It was for lunch, but I had myself a Double-double with fries and a Diet Coke. It was at the newest In 'n Out in Mesa, on the northeast side just off the 202. Amazingly the drive thru was relatively light for the time I was there. Burger was great, even though I had to wait a bit to munch on it when I got home.
Been eating a bit crap these past 2 weeks, consciously trying to fix that. Got $5 of crummy-looking strip steak to try fumbling my way through foodwishes' Manhattan filet recipe (and accompanying pan sauce).
Overall really satisfied, going from these:
To the best steak dish I've made in recent memory (served with some garlic-y sweet potato) with very little effort:

No pictures, but made beer-can chicken last night on the grill. Indirect charcoal heat for 1.5 hrs, rotating every 20 min. The skin was a beautiful mahogany color. I wish I had brined the bird b/c the breast were a little dry, but the skin was so crunchy and yummy. I tossed a chunk of oak on the coals about 15 minutes towards the end of cooking to give some smoky flavor. Good stuff.
Tahchin: A Persian saffron rice cake with chicken and sour cherries baked in side. Pretty tasty.
I got 2g of saffron from Rumi Spice. Now I gotta figure out some things to do with it.

It's on the list.
I have about 20 saffron-related recipes stuck in a bookmarks folder waiting for exploration. Paella, chicken tangine, saffron lamb and side dishes like fried saffron cauliflower, saffron roast potatoes, etc.2g of saffron is actually quite a bit, and I want to use it up before it loses potency.
Unfortunately, 90% of what I'm finding on the internet is paella or some kind of rice dish. You'd think there'd be a lot more variety. :/
Those peas look amazing.
