Arroz con Pollo
From the Richard Blais cookbook. Sounds like it’s actually his wife’s recipe. Super easy one-potter, although I did finish the chicken under the broiler to crisp the skin.

Have always loved a good potato salad. Can’t remember when I didn’t.
Shucked some raw oysters for our app. (Moondancer; Happy; Wellfleet, from top to bottom)
Main was baked striped sea bass with caramelized onion sauce, and side of asparagus.
Had a glass each of the following alongside:
2021 Quinta Varzea da Pedra - Arinto “Óbidos”
and
Equipo Navazos - La Bota de Fino 115
Given the caramelized onions’ strong presence, it was no surprise to see the Sherry do much better than the Arinto.

My daughter is home from college this week briefly before taking off again for chamber music programs in NY then in Maine. Softshells are in season here along with the first local summer squash and zucchini I’ve seen; she snapped these coming out of the fryer to her.

I shucked myself! 
fun dinner tonight with a spread that I enjoyed with my wife after a big hike in the morning
its the short but delicious strawberry season in the northeast, and one of my favorite fermentations is a short lactoferment on strawberries (2-3 days). The salt releases the moisture of the berries to create this very complex and delicious syrup of sorts. I then pressed the berries to get as much moisture out of them and thew the leftover solids into the dehydrator to dry and blitz into a powder.
I used that strawberry syrup to dress a dish of grilled marinated tuna and tomato that I got from the farmers market (grown in a greenhouse)
olive oil scallion, and garlic scape. Super simple and delicious. Sweet, salty, umami
A green salad with a green garlic and mustard dressing, for balance.
and then a big fat fuckin cheeseburger. Ill call this a “pizza burger” I made a condiment with a grated tomato, a lot of green garlic and some gochugaru chili flake cooked all the way down in butter and then blended and mounted with more butter and some creme fraiche. I grilled the burger over charcoal and then topped it with the sauce, provolone cheese and some Calabrian chilis and put it under the broiler to melt
fantastic meal. What else could you pair with this meal other than riesling? The chameleon it is lol. My wife had Waterloo black cherry seltzer (pictured)
cheers!

Memorial Day cookout Butterscotch Banana Cream Pie.
I’ve been wanting to make this for a really long time. I love butterscotch and I love bananas.
It was a hit.

My grandmother made a similar pie to that, but the one where you boil a can of eagle brand milk to make caramel, also graham cracker crust and bananas and whipped cream top.
