We picked up some Peri Peri seasoning and today I used it for the first time to make this dish: Peri Peri chicken thighs over basmati rice. Garnished with cilantro, fried jalapenos, and chili lime dried cranberries. A slice of lemon on the side. This was tasty. 🍽️ 🍜

The food as described on a white dinner plate. The boneless, skinless chicken thighs are browned and spicy.

I made this blackened salmon with shrimp. Over sliced baby potatoes and a side of broccoli. All of this was cooked in the same pan in different stages. Potatoes first, then out of the pan, then broccoli, and out it comes. Salmon and shrimp. Shrimp came out first. Garlic butter sauce then combine 🍽️ 🍜

On a white dinner plate: blackened salmon and shrimp over the little sliced potatoes. Broccoli florets and sliced stems at the back of the plate. All of it drizzled with a garlic butter sauce that is colored by the blackened seasoning.

The recipe is here veenaazmanov.com/slow-cooked-.... I didn't have hot paprika, so I substituted a tiny bit of smoked paprika alongside powdered cayenne and I hope that counts. I cooked it for about 2 hours on low in a Dutch oven. I started with about 1 3/4 lb of beef before trimming.

Slow Cooked Moroccan Beef with Dates and Hot Paprika

This Moroccan slow cooked beef with dates is easy, simple, tender and melts in the mouth. It has a hand on time of just 10 minutes but is slow cooked for two

I cooked this beef stew a couple of nights ago because I knew I wouldn't have the time to do it tonight. It is a Moroccan beef stew with dates served with an instant couscous. Rosemary and sea salt crackers to help push things around. So tasty. 🍽️ 🍜

On a white dinner plate: a mound of couscous sits next to a mound of thick beef stew. The gravy is made of dates, tomato paste, onions, spices, and beef stock. Some long crackers are also on the plate.

Soup! Mini wonton soup to be exact. This comes together quickly and uses some premade ingredients, but doesn't compromise on flavor. 🍽️ 🍜

In a white dinner bowl: sliced shiitake mushrooms, mini wontons, and green onions sit in a flavorful broth made of chicken stock, ginger, garlic, sesame oil and dark soy sauce. A few bits of wilted greens are the darker bits in the bowl.

I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him.

I'm talking about something very different.

Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired.

Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to.

But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿‍♂️

So, if you zoom into this image and look along the railroad tracks, you will see what I originally thought was just one main library groundhog. I'm thinking of naming the three of them Sarah, Cosima, and on the far left, Helena. #OrphanBlack

From a distance a stand of trees in front of a chain link fence. Beyond the fence is a railroad track. Along the track against a background of tall grass can be seen three tiny animals. If you zoom in on each, it is three groundhogs.

Dinner tonight was low effort: a bagel with cream cheese, arugula, avocado, quick pickled red onions, capers and smoked salmon. It was probably overpowering the salmon but still tasty. 🍜 🍽️

The bagel, one side topped as described the other side is slathered in cream cheese and ready to close.

Today's main library groundhog sighting

At a distance a groundhog is seen sitting up on its haunches while munching on something tasty. The background of the image is a utility pole and some bushes near the wood chip landscaping the groundhog is sitting on. A chain link fence is further beyond the scene.

On my personal authority as the Chairman of the Johnson County Board of Supervisors, I have determined to defy the Governor’s order that our colors be at half staff through Sunday on behalf of Charlie J Kirk.

1/4

Jon Green @modestholdings.com · Sep 11

My message to County leadership:

Email to County department heads and my fellow elected officials:
In conformance with the Governor's order, our flags will fly at half staff tomorrow in remembrance of 9/11. Further guidance will be forthcoming.

I ask that we keep all victims of gun violence, including the slain Colorado students, at front of mind as we serve. There is no national database, and so we're unlikely to ever know how many we lost today, Wednesday, 10 September. For most of us, this date will pass. For far too many, this date will now become the worst anniversary of their lives. Please extend whatever grace you are able, to the neighbors we serve, for we know not of their burdens. I say this knowing you and your staff do so, every day.
On behalf of the Board, and with grim determination —
Jon
