We went to Kinship’s after hours fancy dining The Barbarian past Sunday. It was pretty good. The Drinks were on par and I was happy to be there as the first of several dinners celebrating our anniversary.

Last night we went to Flying Mango for the first time…in a very long time. The cocktail was..not great, but the BBQ (ribs and Brisket), I ate was pretty good and Shannon enjoyed her pasta dish.

(Western) Iowa Loose Meat Sandwiches (+ 1 tablespoon pepper)

Perfect!

Sausage

Jalapeño and Cheese uncased brats. Crooked Gap. Good things.

Bean and Veggie Tacos

This was ok, we ended up using flour tortillas and adding cheese to it, but still ok.

Chicken Tikka Masala

I think every time I make this I burn the onions, or…over cook the onions / mildly burn them. Even so, it turned out pretty good.

Skillet-Roasted Chicken Breasts with Harissa-Mint Carrots

I took a right turn and just tossed the chicken thighs with salt, pepper and harissa sauce. Put those in a 10 inch pan then put it in a 350 oven. I added a little salt and pepper tot he carrots and then tossed the remaining sauce and put them in another 10 inch pan and added them to the oven. Then balanced the cooking level, where the carrots came out then the chicken.
