It always surprises me.

When my daughter was 2, she insisted on buying a watermelon at Rincon Market in mid-November. When I bit into it, I discovered it was comprised of pink chalk and squirrel pee.

These early watermelons have been great not by virtue of being great watermelons but simply because they are watermelons, the first of this season, and because it's hot outside. Once they hit their prime they'll be glorious. When they begin to decline I'll excoriate them as garbage.

We got a watermelon about 2 weeks ago and it was weird

I know what you mean. When they ask inappropriate questions and stay too long after everyone else has left they just come off as creepy.

That's really how I felt. I ate half of it then the other half hung out in my fridge awkwardly for another week till I made it leave.

I had a funky watermelon a couple weeks ago. Didn't even enjoy it. Gave it to the chickens.

In other news. Relaxing night with the fire Basil Hayden's, a cigar, and The Blacklist.

Cheddar bacon brats on pretzel buns with spicy brown mustard, fries, salad, and grapes.

Agreed. One of my favorite cuts.

Every time I eat tri-tip, I rebuke myself for wasting my time with any other cut of meat.

The Farm at South Mountain has it via their online farmers market. $10 a cut. We cooked it on a cedar plank with mustard and brown sugar over indirect heat on our grill.

It was the best piece of fish I've had since I was in Cabo and Turks.

Just really good.

Tri-tip.... I can really take it or leave it.

If it’s on a restaurant menu I’ll order it if it’s prepared in a way I’m in the mood for but I don’t see that word and immediately salivate. I’ve had some not so great meals where tri was the protein.

Phylek · Post by **Phylek** » Wed Jun 03, 2020 10:14 am

Slow cooked to be red and tender it has an amazing amount of flavor.

I could eat Cardiff Crack for every meal. Thats the special burgundy pepper crusted tri-tip from the Seaside Market in Cardiff (San Diego). So good, they have their own store at Petco Park and also ship online.

One of my favorite meals, when we want to take the time to make it is Beef Wellington, but I actually use tri tip in place of the filet. It's less expensive, but more flavorful. And if you could tri tip right it's almost as tender as a filet.

I want to meet the person who ever ate that and didn't proceed to the couch, unbutton their pants, and arch their back to counter their slouch and support their beefandpastrybelly, which is an actual word.

Sushi bowls with salmon. "Sushi grade" is meaningless, and I have no idea where to get edible raw salmon during the pandemic, so I used a pack of Nova Lox from Trader Joe's. It was really good. The sweet vinegary taste of the sushi salmon went really well with the cold-smoked flavor of the salmon.

Buffalo chicken quesadilla. Costco rotisserie chicken, onion, spinach, mozzarella, sharp cheddar, all in a massive 14 inch Estrella flour tortilla.

Estrella! They're really their own tortilla. Thick, dense, and chewy. A thick flour tortilla that isn't fluffy shouldn't work, but it does.

Can't recommend this meal enough. I make it even simpler by using whatever noodles I have around (fresh Chinese wheat noodles, spaghetti, soba, etc) and using a rotisserie chicken from Costco. Start to finish is a 15 min dinner and is easy and amazing to eat.

It looks great and I'm totally going to make this but I don't get the part about the broth. It isn't a soup, so she says you can go ahead and reserve it for a different use. What am I supposed to do with starchy stock after I cook noodles in it? Since the stock matters for the flavor of the noodles, I picture Kenji browning a whole unpeeled onion cut in half, a couple unpeeled bulbs of garlic, a carrot, and a celery stick while he browns the chicken, lets the stock make itself while the chicken simmers, discarding the stock vegetables, and then throwing in a little splash of fish sauce at the end to bring out the light stock flavor. 12-15 minutes doesn't get you a rich stock, but a rich stock would be too sharp on the noodles anyway.

scumdevils86 · Post by **scumdevils86** » Tue Jun 09, 2020 8:05 am

Yea I never really bothered with the stock or broth since I usually went the lazy route with rotisserie chicken. But it didn't make much sense to me either. I just like the combination of funky/slaty/fatty/acidic/fresh herbs and onion flavor. It's perfect.
