We ha company for dinner. Sorry, no pics. Wine.

Tracey brought a baked brie as an aappetizer.
I made Chilean sea bass in the sous vide, then blackened it with my homemade blackening spice blend. Two salsas - mango and pineapple. Rice with red pepper and peas on the side. The tiniest baby asparagus I've ever seen. We drank a LOT of wine.
 
We split a ribeye steak last night with side salads. It was really tasty. There's a little left for steak and eggs today. I remember when I was a teenager and into my 20s being able to eat a full pound of steak with a baked potato and salad, but was skinny as a rail. Now I eat about 4-6 oz of steak, no potato, and a salad and I'm full
I used to eat a whole porterhouse and most of my wife’s. Those days are over and only eat about half a ribeye now. After having a CTA I’ll be restricting myself to one fillet mignon a quarter and more baked fish. Last night’s fish and chips were a last hurrah. I was going to grill trout tonight but wife won’t be home and it’s raining anyway.
 
I strive to have zero waste when it comes to food. I have a long way to go, but it has been a journey. Last week, I pulled all of my tomato plants and had a large bowl of green tomatoes. I cut them in chunks and coated them with oil and onion powder. Then I roasted them on parchment at 425 Fahrenheit for 35 minutes along with some purple onion and garlic. Blended all after they sat overnight with some chicken broth, basil, red pepper, parsley, and cracked pepper and salt. Then simmered it with leftover rotisserie chicken Cooked pasta in leftover chicken broth and stirred together. Dusted it with some grated parm and a few slices of the chicken breast. I'm not disappointed, but think it was missing something. Still....fairly yummy!

We just threw out a lot of green tomatoes that didn’t ripen but started rotting. Felt bad about that…
 
Us too. I’ll add some anchovies to mine.

I’ve finished the mies en place just needs lemon and waiting for her to come home.
 
Supper tonight was leftover pasta with an added jar of home canned tuna circa 2021 and the rest of the can of last night’s anchovies, chopped. Very fishy but tasty. There was a Mediterranean salade from Trader Joe’s that was very good. I took no pictures.
 
For those who have an Aldi's grocery, I found their Birria chuck roast in the meat section. Basically, one takes it and adds a cup of beef broth to it. Toss it in a crock pot and let it run. Though I was skeptical, the outcome was a really moist and tasty birria that made very nice tacos. After placing the broth in the fridge, I could harvest the fat to use in grilling the tacos after filling them with the shredded birria and cheese. For $14, the small roast made 12 hearty tacos. We added Trader Joes Spanish rice and a citrus salad as sides. Leftovers were great!
