Call it: 花甲花椒

Pronounced: Hua Jia Hua Jiao (bit of a play on words).

Sichuan peppercorn homemade oil and clams, with a green goddess styled sauce (blitzed blanched basil, cilantro, spinach, garlic + olive oil, yogurt, lime - zest and juice) on fettucine.

Chimichurri is always .
This is my recipe. Uruguayan style.
- 1/2 cup olive oil (use a good extra virgin, makes a difference)
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup finely chopped parsley (packed tight)
- 3-4 cloves garlic , finely chopped or minced
- 2 Birds Eye chili (Thai chili)
- 3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- Pepper and salt to taste
Can sit in the fridge for a month.

My wife makes sure I have chimichurri in the fridge always. Yours isn’t too far off from mine.

* I use avo oil as it’s near tasteless and lets the herbs shine
* Add lemon juice (2 Tbsp)
* Sub garlic for shallots (1-2 small)
* I don’t add any peppers because the girls complain. Need to do my own batch and experiment with some heat
* Sometimes I’ll use cilantro instead of parsley if I want it brighter and more citrusy.

Perfect summer meal. BLT and sweet corn hits the spot tonight.

Quite possibly my favorite meal of all time. When the tomatoes and the sweet corn were killed less than 3 hours before, it’s a clear winner.  

I don’t have a picture, but yesterday I had fresh corn, aged strip, some cucumber tomato salad, and a giant Irish jacket baked potato. Best I’ve had in last 30 days, but I am sure the BLT, Sweet Corn combo will beat it, just waiting on those tomatoes to get a little bit more ripe.😋

Was in New York for work. Some of my favorite bites: 

Carbone and assorted pizza slices. My wife’s friends made us dinner, one of who is a chef, her garlic knots were excellent .S&P diner pancakes (the best).

Simple dish but hard to get just right. Nailed it. Opening night Mykonos.

One of the best fried fish I’ve in a long time.  Simple, yet delicious at Cayo Chachahuete.

Once a year, when the Blueberries are in season (usually around the 4th of July) you can order a Blueberry Pie from "The Public House" in Sturbridge, Massachusetts and it's well worth it.

Spent last night finally getting the first brisket of the season under my belt! 12lb USDA Prime brisket with a base of Heath Riles TX Brisket Rub and a light topper of Meat Church Texas Sugar. Went on the smoker last night at 10pm and came off this morning at 8am to rest. Going to chop whatever is left over after dinner and vacuum seal it for winter dinners in a few months!

The food on Naxos was impressive as well. Makes me long for Greek island life @El Presidente!!

Above 5 restaurant in Dubrovnik. Superb. 8 tables on a rooftop. You need to walk to the top. Expensive but memorable.

Lamb rack outstanding.

That's a Southern staple meal.

Haven’t done lamb at home for a very long time. Won’t wait as long for the next time, it was outstanding.

Damn fine meat platter in Split. Bravas bar and grill. Great waiter, excellent recommended local red. Inexpensive for here.
