Day 7: July 2021

You guys! Posting about something every day is HARD! It’s legit time-consuming to sift through photos, to think about what you want to say, and then to follow through with it.

We are off an 8 hour car trip down from Scotland. I’m exhausted. I just want to chat with @karenplusone, have some wine and ignore both my toddler (who is currently making me sit outside his room on the floor and play him Jeff Buckley, the Velvet Underground and Eliot Smith on repeat) and this self-imposed #12daysofdeliciousness challenge. But, no, I won’t do it— I won’t give up and give in. Instead, I give you the best food I cooked in July 2021. 🐟

Fish sandwiches! And a tie for the win! A 💣blackened, pan-fried bream with mayo and tomatoes on a hot dog bun— an ode to Midwestern summer and reminiscent of an insane post-Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes blackened whitefish sandwich in Glen Arbor. And a sous-vide monkfish tail, imitating a Maine-style 🦞 roll, with celery, mayonnaise, a sprinkle of Old Bay and some chips for good measure: an East Coast summer on a bun.
