It's always good to have friends. This is @forkreporter who has been a true mate since I first appeared on his radio show many, many years ago. He has sage advice. Shares dad jokes and generally points me in the right direction. A very, very good man.

#advertisment I really love doing @cameo. They always give me the opportunity to speak to my followers, find out their birthdays, anniversaries or indeed anything else that may be of interest to them. I love doing them and always send a video + DM. Give it a try.

#simonstares Today is #internationalworldtourismday apparently. So here I am eating a roast dinner at a very, very good pub called @anchorhopecut in Waterloo, London. I miss these roast dinners now I am in L.A.

#Simonstares at the much lauded Hamburger @maree__la very good it is too. However, my favorite taste of the evening was the buttery chanterelles. Man alive were they good.

#simonstares I apologize to all for being away for a week. To make up for it here it is a wonderful gift from the chefs @montagebigsky last weekend after my demo. Sourdough bread, with cultured butter and caviar. Very, very nice indeed.

For all those who were kind enough to wish me well with my M.R.I. I was stable. Thank you all. Your prayers and well wishes added to the amazing work of the health community have got me through until next time. 🙂

#simonstares at a plate of "Ragu Bolognese" @hermonsla. This restaurant describes itself as a "Neighborhood Restaurant " which is true with all the dishes being fairly standard. But, they are all very well done indeed and if I lived or worked around there they would see me very often.

#simonstares As you may know @lielle.la is my favorite restaurant in Los Angeles. I may have added to this @maree__la which is, fortunately just above and owned by the same people. This is one of the star dishes "Canard à la Ravigote" - Duck with a Ravigote sauce. Just fantastic stuff.

I still recall where I was. Watching the horrors of September 11th on the reception computer of the small publisher I worked at. May we never forget the workers, the firefighters and other first responders who gave their lives, all the people on the planes and so many others. It changed the world.

I have just been for an M.R.I. This is something that makes every person with cancer (in fact everyone with a disease that requires it) both frightened and hopeful. To all my fellow cancer warriors out there I hope your recent one points to stability. Here is hoping mine does.

#simonstares at a very good Char kway teow @ipoh.kopitiam in Alhambra. It has been far too many years since we went to Malaysia and Singapore where this dish became popular. This along with so many other foods like roti canai and others definitely make us want to return.

One of my favorite dishes to make is this Chicken Korma - a Mogul Imperial dish made with, er, chicken, spices, cream and almond flour. It was originally a dish whose color was very white but different versions since then have emerged. I also like to add turmeric.

If you’re ever in San Diego, check out this fresh fish market. It’s a fun place to visit (and buy fish if you’ve got a place to keep it in ice). They’ve also got a vendor in the back cooking fish dishes.

Saddened to hear the news of the passing of the artist Yayoi Kusama. She brought joy and beauty through her art. This was @sazyrock.bsky.social and me enjoying her Infinity Mirror Room art installation at The Broad. May she rest in peace and rise in glory.

Me and @tara.monsod at her very good restaurant @animae.sandiego. Which takes Filipino staples such as Kare-Kare & Adobo and adds modernizing element to them. I never say elevate because those dishes a great anyway. The Kare-Kare was the star. One definitely to visit if you are ever in San Diego.

This is the "Star of India" which was originally called "Euterpe" by its founders on the Isle of Man in 1863. It's trip from England to San Diego is a fascinating one. It's trips display the courage of the sailors and their determination to get everywhere in the world.

This picture of my mum and Baba dancing makes me both happy to see them having a great time and sad because I took the picture and turned down the chance of dancing with my mum. I wouldn't get chance again. Whenever you get the opportunity always (even if you are not good at it) dance with your mum.

This wine is from Georgia. The first bit of the name Qvervi means that is "buried underground" with its wax top open. Its container is a very large amphora containing grapes and the technique is over 8,000 years old, I am told. A fascinating story of our time in Georgia.

Another walk around my bit of Los Angeles. This time I am listening to the bands that I used to listen to when I was 15-18. The Stranglers, The Buzzcocks, The Ruts, of course The Clash and many others. As. Good now as when I used to see them.

#simonstares having a meal with one of my chums last night. Inevitability at my favorite steakhouses Taylor's. Once again another beautiful prime rib. I made the mistake of asking for "chips" rather than "fries" which is odd after all this time. Hence the plate in front of me.
