That looks delicious!

Thanks! The risotto turned out better than I expected, and may be my favorite I have made. Vidalia onion, garlic, the mushroom and chicken broth, and some turmeric. I went back for seconds but it was gone already, so this recipe may get saved for another night.

Smoked tri-tip....... this thing lasted about 10 minutes before it was devoured. It was sooooo good!

Haven't posted any food pics for awhile, so going to food bomb you guys with more than a few pics that I've taken in the past month or so . . .

Here's the 1st . . . a salmon filet that I cured to make gravlax using a simple 3:2 (sugar: kosher salt) cure with whole dill on top & bottom:

Then serve it sliced & topped with a simple sauce made of honey, dijon mustard & chopped dill:

More food posts to follow . . .

Been eating a lot of poultry lately because of how expensive red meat (even pork) has become.

Just a couple of items that I bought on sale at my local Safeway . . .

16 pieces of dark meat fried chicken -- 8 pieces each for $5/bag. Already ate 1 of the bags . . .

And a 14.43# turkey (which is typically on sale this time of year) that I bought for 39 cents/pound vs $1.99/lb. So, it only only $5.63 for this 14# turkey . . .

Broke down the turkey to pan roast it & am using the left over parts to make about 3 quarts of broth.

I find the typical mirepoix base of carrots, celery & onions for broth to be too strong. So, I only use ginger, green onions & salt to make the broth.

After low simmering the parts for the rest of the day & night, I'll just leave the pot on the stove & then strain the works into Ball jars in the morning. I'll then strip the meat off the bones to make a turkey spread was well. Waste not, want not.

And here's a pic of the turkey fully roasted & ready to serve on the sheet pan:

Already ate on of the wings.

I just ate a banana.

It was pretty tasty. It was one of those bananas that's still kind of green so you'd expect it to be sour but it was soft and sweet like a ripe banana.

My favorite Vietnamese dish: Bun Bo Hue with a large bottle of Sapporo . . .

A 1/2 doz grilled Pacific oysters with a large green salad & 2 glasses of an IPA at my favorite dive bar/diner in the Central Valley of CA:

Turned 75 about a month ago. This was my sushi b-day lunch gift to myself . . .

Ankimo (Monk fish liver) which is my favorite Japanese sashimi dish for the appetizer:

First course: Amaebi, Otoro, Uni & Tobiko topped with a Quail egg

Second course: Saba, Unagi & Scallops with a glass of 1 of 2 large bottles of Sapporo that I had with the meal

A Grilled Cheese Sandwich, Salad & 1 of 2 pints of an IPA that I had at my favorite dive bar/diner along the Sacramento River . . .

And lastly, for now, a so-so Shrimp Vermicelli Bowl with a large glass of Elysian IPA served at a local Vietnamese joint that I go to only because it's close by & because they serve beer on draft . . .

Cooled off, high today only in the 50’s….perfect temperatures for cold smoking cheese….and some rock salt for the grinder.

Speaking of smoking; I smoked some wings and salmon burgers.

John Henry's chicken tickler rub is really good on wings. I highly recommend it.
