What did you cook or eat today (August 2022)?

caseydog and TastyReuben I never bothered to look at the price of Boar's Head meats & cheeses before the Pandemic.
As prices of meat (ie. Pork Chops, Steaks, Chicken Thighs, etc.) went up, I made wiser choices in my shopping.
Then it dawned on my not long ago, I'm spending $11-15/lb. on lunch meats and cheeses? Why am I being so damn stingy with our steaks? I now buy gorgeous Rib Eyes and my next time around I'm trying Fillet Mignon! Never cooked Fillet Mignon before, but I can give it a go.

Filet mignon (beef tenderloin) is very good, but very lean. Medium rare, for sure. Not a lot of beef flavor, but melt-in-your-mouth tender. Season generously. It is a good cut of steak for a sauce. My favorite is peppercorn sauce (steak au poivre).

One day I'm sure that I will be fed up with char siu noodles but until then I shall continue with my twice a week obsession. A slight variation today with pickled jalapeño chillis and fresh coriander leaves.

Eli doesn't sound very sick to me, if he's eating all this that his Pop made for him

It's Neighborhood Gal Pals gathering at the Community one over from ours for Bingo!
I don't like to cook before going out for the evening, so I picked take-out linners for us two while I was out-and-about running errands.
