Pizza with homemade sauce, crust, and garden vegetables.
Duck Fat Fries @ The Public House, Norfolk, VA.
These were good with the smokey ketchup (chipotle.)
The Public House Burger @ The Public House, Norfolk, VA.
Our friend ordered this, so I can’t tell how it was but it looked very tasty.
Slow Braised Beef Ribs Short Ribs @ The Public House, Norfolk, VA.
The Public House recently opened and the buzz has been positive. Get in early if you want a table and enjoy good food at very reasonable prices. The owners were shooting for a comfortable atmosphere and I think they hit the mark. It was relaxed and even with a full house, it seemed as if everyone was among friends :)
Turkey kefta, prepared by Shelby :)
Crab Cakes my wife made for us. My nephew caught a bunch of crabs this weekend. I picked the leftovers the other night.
Meat Sampler @ Pasha Mezza. The food was good, definitely going to go back; the service was a little cold and impersonal.
Pain d’epi and Zucchini Parmesan Cakes we took over to a friends place. Thanks for having us over Richelle and Dave!

Lobster Pasta I made for Shelby’s lunch. Minced garlic and left-over sauce I made for our garden pizza are in there too. Kroger was selling cooked lobster claws pretty cheap.
My wife and I at d’Art Center’s 25th Anniversary, tasting local craft beer.

Cool and Spicy Fish and Cucumber Salad
My wife found this recipe on The Kitchn. Turned out great and I got to use Sichuan Peppercorn for the first time. They made my lips and tongue tingle.

Lamb Meatballs in Green Curry
Weekend project. It was a little sloppy but the next one will be nice and neat with a bit of decorating too.
Seared tuna belly. A friend caught a 93 lb yellowfin and gave me a few nice cuts. I tossed together a quick blackening seasoning and pan-fried the belly and grilled the rest. What you see in the photo would just melt in your mouth. Delicious!

Todd Jurich’s 21st Century Burger Bar @ Rudee’s Inlet. I’ll be honest and say I was underwhelmed with the service and the food (we had to ask for another menu after waiting about 5 minutes.) I went with a friend on that trip, I told my wife we’ll try it together in a few months, after they get their legs under them.
