Recovered today from a 5 day bout of food poisoning.  Didn't eat anything for 3 days, couldn't sleep more than a few hours at a time.  Today I slept all day to catch up.

Good to hear you on the mend, take care!

@nolaegghead I can't imagine a 5 day bout as I was toasted with just a two day run many years ago.  Glad you are recharged.  Any idea the poison?

SWMBO just came off a 3 day recovery for the same. The culprit in her case was a pre-packaged Aldi salad. Not good

@nolaegghead you don’t have to eat everything jazz drags up onto the porch.

Thanks for posting that.  I can see how something like that could make tons of people sick, many of whom would likely have no idea of the source.

@fishlessman - looking good!  By the way, how is your sister doing?  She fully recovered from the virus?

kinda thin on the prime ribeye, one recipe i saw said to mix cayenne salt and water and give a quick drizzle while cooking it hot direct, i didnt do that but next time i will.

its a chimichurri rojo, first time making it, closer to a salsa than traditional.

this was pretty much the recipe i followed, was hand chopped, not in a blender, could have used more salt and heat. (tastes really salty before adding the vinegar water and oil). mixed everything together except the water vinegar and oil and let it sit for an hour. brought a third cup red wine vinegar and a third cup water to a boil and poured it on top and mixed to sort of blanch the onions and garlic. had put fresh bay leaves into the boil as well.  next time more heat, more garlic, maybe add some anchovies to the boil. let  it sit in the fridge overnight then warm back up on the counter and drizzle the evoo on just before serving. was good but needs tweaking

• sprigs of thyme
  
• 1 cup parsley, will add additional cup cilantro next time, had none
  
• 1/2 red onion, roughly chopped
• 6 cloves of garlic, peeled
• 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
• 1 fresh red bell peppers, chopped
• 1 cup olive oil
• 1 tblsp salt
  1 plum tomato skinned and chopped
  
• 1 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1 Tbs paprika
• 2-4 Tbs fresh oregano
• juice of one lime
• 4 fresh bay leaves

Thanks, sounds great.  First glance it looked like a topping we make for bruschetta that is loaded with tomatoes, garlic, basil, balsamic, more garlic, red onion, more garlic and some shaved Parmesan.  I will have to try the red chimi.

I talk to Jason once in a while.  He's fine - just not on the forum much these days.

Time for more Friday night recruiting.  
@SGH You should give the Friday night zoom sessions at least a one-off.  You will be enlightened and definitely entertained.  For the record, anus and shaving are definitely topics where the usual crowd could use some expertise. 
Be there!

Flank steak tacos, again.  I had an avocado that I needed to use up, to add to these, but I guess I needed to use it up a few days earlier; bother.

Bone in Ribeye, baked potato, baked okra/onions/serrano/butter.  We split the steak and potato, plenty filling.

Beef Manhattan tonight with homemade mushroom gravy. SWMBO made the comment yesterday ”does everything have to come from the egg?” 😀 figured that I better take note

Got my AC back up and running.  Very glad to have cold air again.  This whole adulting thing is not always fun.

Thinking it's going to be a really long time before I get to do this again........

Power is out in the smallest corner of Lakeway TX, 25 customers affected according to Austin energy. Estimated fix - 12:30am. Thank goodness it rained and was ~80 degrees this evening!

@ColbyLang is this your bread?  It is my favorite NO French bread.  I have to have it shipped to AZ though.  Nothing local compares.
