8/9/20 GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH CORN, TOMATO, AND LIME
For this Sunday supper, I made swordfish from Michael Schlow’s It’s About Time, page 22. The swordfish was very quick, only needing five minutes per side. The salsa was very simple, but very tasty.

Today’s post is the delicious homemade ravioli from Michael Schlow’s It’s About Time on page 157. This was the first time I made pasta from scratch at home. We didn’t have a pasta maker, but I found out there are ones to attach to a kitchen aid mixer so we bought one. The dish took

For this week’s dinner, my brother asked for quail (which he remembered eating four years ago at a friend’s house). The recipe I used was not the same, but it was similar. I made quail from Suzanne Goin’s Sunday Suppers at Lucques cookbook, page 257, so I knew it was going to be good. Quails

For the Fourth of July this year I grilled Wagyu Burgers from our local butcher. The burgers were between half and three-quarters inch thick, and they were very juicy. I also decided to use a Brioche bun that was toasted on the grill to complete the burgers. Most of the dishes I make take a
