My special fried rice, char siu from the freezer, eggs, shrimp, chicken, red and green onions, red bell, shiitakis, carrots, baby corn, green peas, and rice of course. Forgot to add, garlic and ginger as well.

Ravioli. Filling was roasted sweet potatoes, mascarpone, vanilla seeds, S and P. Sauce was EVOO, butter, onions, garlic, Marsala, S and P, and some pasta water. Had 2 scoops of filling left, so I used them as garnish since it was too good to throw away.

Our dessert. Pistachio /mascarpone/buttermilk Panna cotta with garnish of honey and white chocolate, pistachio, sea salt, Carolina reaper flakes bark.

Besides the galette yesterday, I also made a ricotta cheese pound cake, using the last bit of ricotta used in a couple of pasta dishes. Craig's having a nice sized piece of it now.

Frittata with ham, bacon, caramelized onion, spinach, potatoes and Swiss cheese. No pic.

I also make 1 with caprese salad ingredients. That's my fave!
