Weird. I got that exact same plate with the flowers like that. In green and in blue.

I had the best Octopus, I have ever had a few weeks back. Small unassuming restaurant in Lisbon.
There was a language barrier, so I am not sure how it was cooked, but it seemed both grilled, and then poached. The texture was perfection.
Sorry, but those puckers completely gross me out.

A pity, not least as they are so exquisitely delicious when grilled, and then served with olive oil, minced garlic, steamed spinach and boiled potatoes (a Balkan specialty).

Pizza with pepperoni, a tomato salad, followed by apricots and nectarines and peaches.....

One I acquired long ago: Go to Greece, Sicily, or the Balkans, if you want to sample and savour such delights, where their expertise in the preparation of such delicious dishes is unequalled.

Oh yes, fond memories of Milos and Aegina islands in seaside bistros. *sigh* There are terrific though expensive palces here in Switzerland but we aren't near salt water here.

Fond memories of Bosnia (just after the war of the 1990s, and, many years subsequently, and, much more recently, just last year), and Croatia.......
...where they served the most amazing (and succulent) grilled squid/octopus, served with olive oil, minced garlic (in generous quantities), boiled potatoes and steamed spinach (copious quantities of minced garlic and olive oil made an appearance here, too)....
Sublime; delicious; divine.

I'm leaning towards making Mexican stuffed bell peppers. I've been craving them.

It's been a four-day-long project, but I made gravlox/novalox, bagels, and cream cheese, all from scratch. Some things I'll need to change but overall it came out pretty good.

I love gravadlax; good luck with this culinary experimentation.
Personally, I would add lemons - sliced lemons; they work very well with this dish.
I did 1.5 racks of pork ribs, soups vide at 150 for 30 hours, finished at 300 in an air fryer for 10 minutes. Hotdogs, salad, rice/quinoa with salad and a mix of fruit. My wife did the salad and fruit.

Dined (with a colleague) in an exceedingly good Italian restaurant last night: Bruscetta, a superb mixed salad, pasta (with Bolognese sauce), and a bottle of excellent Chianti Classico Riserva comprised the meal.
Smoked a few butts this weekend
Took half to a BBQ, but I got there late, and there was still a ton left over.
Ended up sending it home with a friend who was on his way to another party.
Got some pretty high praise.

Dinner (last night) was hummus (excellent), a superb mixed salad, and a beer (plus sparkling mineral water) in the excellent Italian restaurant where I had dined the previous night.
