This recipe originally calls for skirt steak, but even when things are normal skirt isn’t easy to find. So, I went with my usual standby: the bavette. I decided to fix the baby bok choy recipe since I hadn’t fixed it in ages.

It just made sense to go with a bottle of The Ox from Holy Mountain.
Instead of the usual Korean Pulled Pork sandwiches and Thai Grilled Corn for our annual Memorial Day Weekend / my birthday weekend, I decided to go South of the Border. The Cochinita Pibil is a recipe that I’ve been wanting to try out for a while. The Cheese Enchiladas I usually make for my sister-in-law’s birthday, but we haven’t made them the last two years. And there had to be grilled corn, so I made Elotes.

I’ve been saving a Spruce Sahalie from The Ale Apothecary and The Trio Spruce Tip Cuvee from De Garde for this event.
I’ve been wanting to try this recipe from The Beeroness for a while now. The only thing I could think of to go with this was the Swiss Chard with Fried Olives, Capers and Garlic – especially since I had some garlic cured green olives left over from last week.

I went with a bottle of the Irrelephant Saison – a gin barrel aged saison – from Matchless.
I found this recipe from Jose Garces and figured I would give it a shot. The only thing I could come up with to serve with it was sautéed spinach. The rice casserole was a last minute addition because I found some Maitake mushrooms while I was out shopping.

I picked up a bottle of Lucinda from Standard Brewing at Tap Union last week.
What can I say? I wanted lobster.

I found a bottle of Levelheaded from Dwinell Country Ales at Ben’s Bottle Shop this week.
Jouer avec le feu.
