Skirt Steak Recipe: Good morning There’s a famous New York City dream where you find an extra room in your apartment and it changes your life, at least until you get used to the space. I recently experienced a version of that in my waking life. I got up early, showered, dressed and left for work. My wife stirred in bed and asked what I was doing. I told him on the way to work. She said, “It is sunday“
what? All day it was then a gift: a drive D hot pot Breakfast for doubles; from another of the lion To eat the hero in the shadows; One more for the beach For hanging out in the afternoon.
What to make for dinner on such a charming and unexpected day? Skirt steak with salsa verde salad (above), please, rare roast beef and hearts of romaine singe just at the edges. Drizzled with a minty, parsley dressing punched with capers and salted with feta, it’s one of the best summer feeds, especially on an evening you might not expect for free. Join me!

After Sunday is sorted, you can move on to the rest of the week. …
Monday
I love my recipe bulgogi-style tofu Because it’s not so much a recipe as a prompt, a rough guide to putting together a dinner of big-flavored, crispy tofu nuggets wrapped in lettuce with kimchi, rice, and a dipping sauce you’ll figure out on the fly: ssamjang, sherry vinegar, gochujang, and a little neutral oil. You will see!
On Tuesday
There’s probably nothing more fun than a midweek hot dog party. I turn to Eric Kim’s ace recipe Chicago-style hot dogs And let my family, according to their abilities and interests, drag each Frank into the garden themselves. Extra celery salt for me!
Wednesday
I am thrilled with Nargis Benkabbu’s new recipe likama grilled salmon with cabbage salad. “Likama” is a Moroccan Arabic word that translates to spice – in this case cumin and coriander, along with ginger and paprika. This combination seasons a salmon fillet that pairs beautifully with a fresh and crunchy salad topped with sliced almonds. Nargis ordered a mix of red and green cabbage in the salad, which looks lovely. On Wednesday night, though, I’m just going to use one or the other.
Thursday
Dan Pelosi adds a touch of lemon-zested cream to his new recipe Pasta primavera, and that’s just the thing to compliment tender-crisp vegetables. Shower everything with grated Parmesan and freshly chopped herbs, and you might as well be at Le Cirque.
Friday
And then you can end the week with Melissa Clark’s homey, elegant recipe Skillet chicken thighs with hot, schmaltzy tomatoes. Cooking tomatoes with meat, where they love all its rendered fat and flavor, is classic Melissa: extra moderation, no good thing wasted, a celebration of deliciousness.

Now, it has nothing to do with okra or Chantilly cream, but I inhaled Paul Doiron’s latest Mike Bowditch novel, “Pitch dark,” out this week: tense and adrenalized from the start. Maine’s motto is “The Way Life Should Be”. I’m not sure Bowditch feels that way.
Also on the subject of thrillers, read Alexandra Alter in The New York Times on Frieda McFadden, currently the best-selling author in that genre in the United States.
The Washington Post went deeper A tyranny of trendy baby names, and it’s interesting: one in four people walking the street today will have a name that ends in the letter “n.” It wasn’t always like that, as Grandpa Cyril will tell you.
Finally, here’s Smashing Pumpkins for us to play, “Bye June” Listen to it while you’re cooking, and I’ll be back in July.
