What's for Dinner, Mon., Aug. 26, 2019

Cacio e pepe unto. Anyway, that's what I was told when I asked. I think it's pasta with peccorino.

A taco shell (but not the kind you usually think of--this one is shaped like an oval bowl) filled with guacamole and tomatoes.

A slice of ciabatta with grilled squash and zucchini on it. The bread was drizzled with olive oil and garlic.

Dessert: sliced pears and dark chocolate.

in several central Italian dialects. As the name suggests, the ingredients of the dish are very simple and include only black pepper, Pecorino Romano cheese, and pasta.

on the cop...I sauteed the veg in a small amount of oil with just salt and pepper...tastes really good. Apple with a little bit of peanut butter dressing and for dessert...not sure.

We had plenty of chicken and potatoes left from last night.

I steamed some carrots and yellow squash to go on the plate. I put a smashed clove of garlic and some lemon zest in the steaming water. The aromatics were subtle, but I really liked them.

aka wings ... i traveled all over town trying wings at any establishment that offered them at least once, a few return visit to check on consistency...
finally gave up and just did my own... beats them all and at about 1/4 the price
brine 'em, slather with favorite bbq sauce and hot sauce, onto the grill with some hickory chips for smoke...
fantastic... got a new yogurt based hatch chili cilantro lime dipping for my
sauce for tonite ...

yum

I've been thinking about doing some wings on the grill and your post sealed the deal.

That sauce sounds terrific.
