Rhubarb- part of a vast conspiracy to get good, noble fruit eaters to consume VEGETABLES

Artisanal marijuana crab cakes: Is this the future of getting high?
Forget the dorm room brownie. Instead, think cannabis-infused burritos, French macarons, salad dressings, duck breast or a cannabis-infused sous-vide (or “sous weed,” as chef Mathew Ramsey put it) burger. Today, serious chefs are tinkering with the science of getting high, taking it into more rarefied culinary territory.
To the extent permissible by law, of course.

Went out for dinner at our favorite restaurant this weekend. Started off with Cosmos and calamari....
Unfortunately, by the time the entree came, the Cosmos had kicked in and I forgot to take pics, lol.....

I was at Balticon (a science fiction convention) yesterday in my Commander WorfPool gear, and attended a session about food in Star Trek. I corrected and supplemented the person leading the session so much (especially re Klingon food, but also Vulcan) that I was asked to present a session next year myself on the subject.
So in costume and in character as Commander WorfPool of the Imperial Klingon Forces, Head Chef of the Fleet, I will be presenting on cuisine of the Empire at next year's Balticon. So if you might be in the general area of Baltimore this time next year, come on by and see me go all foody as a Klingon Deadpool. There will be carpaccio (mmm, tasty raw meat), some form of gagh, and some blood-based cocktails.
BTW- for Game of Thrones fans- I freaked out George RR Martin on Saturday. He apparently was unprepared for an encounter with a vaped-up Klingon Deadpool. The great Connie Willis was, however, unphased. But then again word is Connie is one of us, a vape-using cannabis lover.

Pho type soup, it used to be crayfish and king prawn, now it's leftover roast dinners, tonite's beef.
I've always disliked soups but I don't think I will tire of this one.

Hey there, you lovely, tasty bunch! 
I had a hard day, followed by a hard day's night . . . so when I did finally make it home I had a loving plate of crushed & seasoned avocado, drizzled with garlic oil & a balsamic reduction, along with fried organic chestnut mushrooms, & a tomato, on wholemeal toast! . . . . . And oh man, it went down well . . . . . so simple, yet (imo) so naturally delicious . . . . .
Yomp, yomp, yomp!

Went to farmer's market yesterday and couldn't resist a breakfast sandwich from the smoke wagon.
Egg and cheese with smoked bacon on a Hawaiian roll....
And a little roasted vegetable lasagna for dinner... excuse my dirty oven please....

Didn't take pics- as y'all know I only do pics of food I cooked - but I ate at Momofuku Saturday night and GOOD GOD!!!! Best meal I've had in years that I didn't make. David Chang more than equals the hype around him. IMO the best chef in the country right now.
Note, I was dressed as I am in my avatar pic, as i'd been at a convention all day. The staff was fine with it.

AAARGH. So damn annoyed. Made a great meal for my family Friday, thought I had pics but they ain't on the damn phone!
For the 1st time in a decade made the award-winning lamb from a place I was sous-chef at back in the 90s. Two-inch thick lamb loin chops marinated in balsamic, extra virgin, tarragon and a little garlic. Then lightly grilled, then glazed in the marinade. Served with a double pesto (rosemary and asiago pesto combined with mint and mascarpone pesto), comfit new potatoes, and roasted broccoli.

Some chicken strudel (shredded chicken, spinach, onions and muenster cheese wrapped in a filo crust), wild rice and a spring greens salad with green onion, celery, mandarin oranges and sugared, toasted almonds and a strawberry vinaigrette. Mine is minus the almonds due to a nut allergy I've developed. Served with a nice Pinot Grigio and a little Pineapple Chunk crumble in my Ghost pen.

So as the world implodes at the news that the British public voted for something they probably didn't really fully understand I've started a little 'bro-mance' with my 'new found, things in common, funnily named, random avatar on the other side of the planet, type of person you find on forums' buddy.
Jerk pork ribs and seasoned rice anyone.
Pork belly ribs in, rind on. I removed the ribs and portioned the belly up for another time.
I love these bags, meat and seasoning in and seal it with a hot iron, a bit at odds with myself, no plastic in my vape but cook my ribs in it well.....
If you can then try this seasoning, It's hot if you don't do spicey. Up to the individual as to amounts used.
Onion, grated carrot, corn some more seasoning and I forgot @HD Springer desiccated coconut.
Add cooked rice to this mix. Meat falls off the bone.

Same cut of meat different day. Had a friend round for something to eat last nite. Now Mrs PP is a food technologist and my friend has worked in various positions within the food industry and he loves his food. So I'm up against it every time I cook. Mrs PP was very sceptical given her works current 'low salt' remits.
The following method for cooking pork is far and away the best method I've used to get the most awesome 'crackling'. Crispy but not so hard you need to visit the dentist. Didn't get any pictures as it was all too good. Even tho the meat was cooked uncovered it remained succulent.

With a nice chaser of Af-Pak. Well balanced tasting of dried plums and figs. Great legs.

We had a birthday celebration last night and I wanted to try something I had seen on IG.
Mixed grill: Steak, chicken, sausage, grilled portobellos, summer squash, zucchini, corn, onions and peppers with chimichurri and pico de gallo:
Also grilled up some garlic bread and roasted some potato wedges. The total effect:
