Birthday brunch

It was my birthday, so I made myself some brunch. I don't like to make a big to-do about my birthday because it's generally a reminder to myself that another year has gone by that I haven't felt like I've accomplished anything in my life. It's a thing. Don't worry about it.
I picked up some salmon fillets at the store the other day, so I decided to bust one of them out for my celebration. I covered it in extra virgin olive oil, seasoned both sides with salt and black pepper, and broiled it on high for about 6 or so minutes.
My veggie bowls, starting at the top and going clockwise:
  1. Sliced endive and julienned radish
  2. Thinly sliced yellow onion and a basil leaf
  3. Sliced baby bella mushroom, diced orange bell pepper, and slivered garlic
  4. Minced basil, minced parsley, minced garlic, and grated parmesan
I lightly sautéed bowl 1 for a minute, then dumped in bowl 2 until the mushrooms were just starting to soften, then it came off the heat. While that was going (and the fish was broiling), I went ahead and poached an egg, too, because I finally got that to work.
I added some extra virgin olive oil to bowl #4 for a nice basil and parsley pesto, then spooned a couple circles onto my plate, then I bisected the salmon and laid a piece of each onto those pesto circles.
The poached egg went into one corner with a light dusting of cracked black pepper and a basil leaf; I spooned the veggies into the opposite corner. For the last touch, I left the onion strips on top of the salmon. It was a delicious, light meal, and it really hit the spot.

I don't understand food

Part 1 the morning after, while eating a sausage, egg, and cheese everything bagel from Bergen Bagels Last night, I had the pleasure, privilege, and audacity to eat at a Brooklyn restaurant named Aska . I know it's cliche to refer to a fancy restaurant meal as a life-changing experience, but this was straight up paradigm-shattering. I've written before about food being a medium of communication, about how I strive to reduce food waste as much as I can, about sharing our cultures and stories with each other through the meals we create, but seeing how Chef Fredrik Berselius is able to do this at such an intricate, elegant, and elevated level is both humbling and inspiring. The experience started before the first bite. I walked into the 10 table restaurant, and they knew me by name. I was shown to my table (right in the middle of the place, looking directly into the open kitchen), and they even pulled my chair out for me and pushed it up under me. I was a little uncomfortable with...

Restaurant week: My new Mexican restaurant

 As I mentioned the other day, my Mexican restaurant closed down. Luckily, they opened up in a new space a couple of months later. Great new look, new name ("Lopez Grill"), they've got a bar, staff is expanded, and the place is always packed. Business seems to be going great. Now, this isn't just a rehash of my post about the 'Dolo. While the menu is largely the same, there have been a few changes, plus I'm going to share a few things I've learned eating there. On my first visit to the new location (which was opening day, right when the doors opened; yes, I was standing in line outside with the other faithful), Señor Lopez brought me a bowl of their new salsa. He called it "guacamole salsa," but it's a jalapeño-based sauce. It's got an almost creamy texture, but is dairy-free (I asked for my vegan friend). Being a jalapeño salsa, it's got some heat, but not nearly as overbearing as some capsaicin-phobes may fear. It is perfectly bala...

Trying a new idea

I decided to try out a new concept: plain seasoning on my food with a bold sauce to kick it up a few notches. I was thinking that a pretty boring salmon fillet with a super flavorful sauce would be a fun way to put food on the plate. Sort of a "oh, this isn't that great, but wait! There's more!" kind of deal. I just salted the salmon and poached it in olive oil. Meanwhile, I also made some mashed potatoes with some sautéed green onion and orange bell pepper mixed in. A little butter, a little cream, yada yada. The potatoes were great. The salmon was boring. So how about that sauce? I made myself a roux (butter mixed with flour), then added in some white wine, and I let that simmer while I cooked the fish and potatoes. Unfortunately, it thickened up a bit much, so I added some more wine. With the extra wine, it was too watery, so I dropped in some creme fraiche, all while repeating my Randy Marsh impersonation of saying, "creme fraiche!" That gave it a great ...
