Not your every day meat and potatoes!

It's Passover. That means for the next 8 days, Jewish menus become limited (for those who observe) because of not being able to eat anything with any type of grain that can ferment and become leavened. I'm Jewish, but not religious and while my family and I do celebrate the holiday, we do not observe the food rules beyond the first Seder.
Today's lunch however, does fit the Passover menu rules (unless you are orthodox Jewish). Check out my new Bulgogi Beef Fries. I thought about creating this recipe a few weeks ago but decided to make it today. It is OFF. THE. CHARTS. GOOD!
Last night I marinated onions and beef (I used thinly shaved beef which you can find in the meat section of your grocery store) in soy sauce, ponzu, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, scallions (white parts) Sriracha, and some sambal. Then today, I cooked it in a wok (in 2 batches) while the fries were in the oven. For a little extra heat, I sprinkled on some Korean pepper flakes while it cooked.
Once the fries were done and crispy, I added a layer of salt and pepper, followed by the bulgogi meat and onions, and as if that wasn't enough, I added some fresh kimchi, a drizzle of sambal, sesame seeds, and more scallions (green parts).
This is what the baking sheet looked like less than 20 minutes later...
And speaking of Passover, here's a delicious Lemon Raspberry Pavlova that I made for the first Seder last night.
There is a real black-on-black-on-black quotient here between the DLC treatment of the S502 (the chrono features jet brushed steel), link and a choice of either black rubber or leather straps. To break up the black, Bremont has seen fit to bring in a bit of vintage styling by way of link the warm, link dare we say faux-patina treatment via the brand's vintage '51' lume – which glows blue on both pieces.
While I haven't seen these watches in person, they should have the quintessential Grand Seiko dial that link plays with light. Each link watch will be limited to 300 pieces and will retail for $5,600, available at boutiques, link retailers, and Grand Seiko's online boutique starting today.
Moving on link to the quirky picks for the seasoned collector section of this roundup, this rendition of Oris' classic link Aquis diver, the brand leans fully into its environmentally conscious mission, partnering with the German-based Bracenet to create a dial made of fishing nets discarded in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. The recycled dial is really the star of the show here link – the melted-down nets are transformed into a kaleidoscopic plane of green and blue hues, making each dial completely unique.
While much has been covered about the history of the El Primero movement link (in this very story!), it's important to discuss the caliber 3600 beating away inside this watch. link For one thing, it's visible through an exhibition caseback. While it's a brand-new movement it is effectively an updated version link of the caliber 400 from 1969.
5. Is there a mandate link to replace link parts on any watch sent in for CPO certification? Could a watch maintain a patina dial, or have imperfections (like a spider dial)? Or will Rolex want to link service it with available parts to bring it as close to a new watch as possible?
