You probably don't know I'm a classically trained chef. My food style is home-cooked comfort you can easily make with a drink in hand.
So here are 10 random recipes and food tips that have sustained me and my family throughout quarantine.

Blood Orange Whiskey Sour
First, we need a drink. Get some Old Grand-Dad ($20!).
• 2 oz bourbon
• 1/4 oz maple syrup
• Juice of 1/2 blood orange
• Juice of 1/2 lemon
Stir well. Add ice.
Why maple syrup? I'm too lazy to prepare simple syrup. Plus, maple is more fun.

Pork Chops
Not feeling beef? No prob. Let's saute some pork chops.
Season with:
• Garlic powder
• Onion powder
• Paprika
• Oregano
• S&P. Lotsa pepper.
Blob of tallow (or ghee) into your cast iron, medium heat. Saute the chops until just done, ~3 min each side.

Halibut w/ Cherry Tomatoes
Or let's have fish! Season halibut with S&P.
Add tallow to your pan, medium heat. Saute ~3 min each side.
Don't be scared about it sticking; the fish will release when ready.
When done, saute halved cherry tomatoes with a splash of red vinegar.

Random Salad from Leftovers
Time for veggies! This is a salad I combined from Panera Bread greens + roasted Brussels sprouts from another cafe.
How to make a salad that doesn't suck:
• Add salt
• Mix fresh greens w/ 1-2 roasted veg
• Add texture (seeds, cucumber, tomato)

Mezcal Mule
Another drink, already? Ok!
I like Q Ginger Beer because they come in small cans. They're easy to deal with if you're making only 1 mule.
Grab your copper mug!
• 7.5 ginger beer (1 can)
• 2-3 oz mezcal (or vodka, if you're a purist)
• Juice of 1/2 lime

Brown chicken, set aside.

- Quick PSA -
All meat should be browned — as in sauteed/caramelized on the outsides.
Don't you dare add raw meat to a simmering stew or braise.
The only exception to this is hot pot or shabu shabu.

Finale: Steak & Gulf Shrimp
Classic. For date night in.
Sous vide a filet mignon. Throw it in the cast iron to brown the outsides. Perfect medium rare.
During the last 3 min of cooking, add the shrimp which was just tossed in lemon juice, glug of olive oil, garlic, S&P.
