I can't resist getting the strips of salmon belly when they show up at my grocer's. They also had fresh lion's mane mushrooms, so I included some of those as well.

I was eager to try the new batch of tempeh (desi chickpea and organic sprouted rye), and so I made a stew with what I had on hand, and it turned out well. Post includes a compare-and-contrast between mirin and what is sold as mirin.

I just made a new dressing: spicy dill pickles, a jalapeño, an avocado, 2 garlic cloves, juice of a lime, and a couple of other things. Pretty good. Details here:

After making the dressing last night, I decided to create a shareable document to collect a variety of recipe ideas for dressings. You can easily make a copy of the document for your own use and revise it as you wish.

Homemade salad dressing and food topping.
I found that storebought dressings have two drawbacks: a) expensive and b) elevate my fasting blood glucose. So I decided to get serious about making my own dressings, and here's the start:

I made another great stew of the sort I enjoy. It struck me that I had not had chard for a long time, so for greens I used one bunch of rainbow chard. However, the black chard was so fresh and appealing that I also used a bunch of that. The new tempeh also worked well.
Here's the recipe: https://leisureguy.ca/2025/07/30/chard-kale/
