A homemade decadent treat (for my odd palate in any case) an "Alaskan" style pizza with smoked salmon, capers, green onion, feta, hard-boiled egg and lumpfish caviar (the inexpensive variety.) Topped with fresh cilantro and basil. Delicious with a light Crémant de Limoux.
Too many watches, not enough wrists.
I'd eat that.

Quiet NYE at home, I decided to make us a warming cioppino (my improv on a San Francisco style Italian seafood stew.) Spicy with a finely chopped habanero pepper, chicken stock instead of fish stock, dry vermouth and white wine, tomato, garlic & mirepoix, scallops, mussels, shrimp, squid, tilapia and mahi mahi, fettuccini. Mmmm. Leftovers tonight.
Too many watches, not enough wrists.
Haven't made cioppino in a while, but we did have mussels for our quiet New Year's Eve. Mussels, white wine, tomatoes, Spanish chorizo and Calabrian chiles.
Then breakfast on New Year'sDay. Runny yolk lacy eggs, seared scallops and asparagus.
The I started on some chile crisp. About four cups of dried super chiles, garlic and shallots slowly fried crisp, cinnamon sticks, Star anise, five spice, and a couple of chunks of ginger. The chiles are really lovely. I was careful drying them and it paid off. They are still pliable and when I crush them with the pestle they smell fresh.

Our autumn rains are finally coming a couple months late, and the porcinis don't seem too bothered by the season. Some fresh reduced down with caramelized onions and Madeira wine last night with a butternut squash pasta - a vegetarian dinner cooked for our neighbors who invited us over last year - we owed them something nice. The remaining Boletes go into the dehydrator for use throughout the year.
