Day 8 was Friday, I wanted fish fry, I was tempted to break out the deep fryer... but no.
Not when Boston Fish Market is close and awesome. I always get the Lake Erie Perch.
Service was a little spotty there though (had to ask for garlic bread three times; in that heat I really needed the water glass refilled, like constantly), and they weren't even jammed.
Day 9 was supposed to be the last day, with SueF's flight arriving late evening, but they got dinked around for 7 hours by the airline before letting them board, pulling away from the gate and going, "Nope, gotta go back, the pilot's been on duty too long." So she gets a night in a hotel with air conditioning and cookies, but won't be home for another day.
So, what's tonight's dinner? A bowl, with pasta and chinese broccoli! And there's still enough of each for a couple more meals! This time, carbonara: scaled down the Serious Eats version for one, using one whole egg and one yolk; I actually had grated parm
and romano in the fridge, and being lazy I used the
science oven on the broccoli while the bacon cooked, then added some crushed chile, olive oil and garlic powder.
