September 16, 2025 Lunch - Crazy Fish. Dinner - Grilled T-bone steak with Roasted Potatoes and Steamed Broccoli

I slept until 8:00 after being for about three hours during the night, so I guess I got 8 hours sleep because we went to bed at 8:30.

I ate a bowl of granola with mango yogurt, milk, and champagne grapes for breakfast.

Then I spent several hours working on gathering the disclosures of the other participants in the LRGA and talking about the case with a client.

At 12:15 Henry called and we said he was free to go to lunch and mentioned Crazy Fish for sushi, which is what I had been thinking about.

He came by at 1:00 and I drove us to the restaurant. Henry ordered the Sushi Combination No. 2 that is a large platter of sushi and nigiri sushi and a spicy tuna wrap with lemonade. I ordered my usual, chirashi that is a bowl with a layer of sushi rice on the bottom and two slices each of five different fish plus a small pile of seaweed salad and a pile of squid and burdock root salad.

I loved it but only ate 1/2 and boxed the other half and took it home.

Henry is just as vehemently opposed to the direction Trump is taking the country as I am, so it fun to talk to him.

After lunch we returned home and I said goodbye and checked the market at 2:30 and was down .7% for the day mainly due to a drop of $2.87 in Nvidia shares.

We decided to grill a steak for dinner and roast potatoes, so I thawed a T-bone steak.

I then rested from 4:00 until 5:00 and dozed during Ali’s The Beat.

At 5:00 we started peeling and sectioning quinces and Suzette cooked them in lemon flavored sugar water and froze them in freezer bags.

Then at 6:00 I diced four russet potatoes, broke out the cloves of a head of garlic, and diced an onion into 16 sections and combined those ingredients in a Pyrex baking dish that Suzette tossed with olive oil and then baked in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes with the butternut squash I bought at El Super last week. 

I then sliced six portobello mushrooms, 1/2 a large shallot, and two cloves of garlic and sautéed them in a skillet of hot butter and olive oil until they took on color and then added about 1/4 cup of Amontillado sherry to make a light sauce.

Suzette then steamed a head of broccoli flowerets and grilled the steak.

When the steak was grilled we removed the potatoes from the oven and I sliced the steak while Suzette plated our plates with roasted potatoes and broccoli and we each picked the slices of steak we wanted and then garnished the steak with sautéed mushrooms.

We finished the two open bottles of red wine, the Alma de Uco Malbec and the Spanish Mencia.  Both were good, the heavier Argentinian Malbec was perfect with the steak and the lighter fruitier Mencia was a pleasant way to wash down all the food after dinner with two thin slices of Parmesan cheese.

We then watched some news from 7:45 until Suzette went to bed at 9:00.

I stayed up to sip a glass of Kelt cognac with a cup of chai and blog after she went to bed.

I apologize for the lack of photos but the blog seems to be blocking their connection to the blog.

Bon Appetit
