    @liamsaunt going to hard be to leave that view

     

     

    I am now at a vacation house on the other side of the island with arguably a better view. I will post a picture of it with my breakfast tomorrow

  2. Curried chicken salad on organic locally grown greens. There is only one farm on this island mostly greens and herbs but occasionally tomatoes are available. And of course local fruits. Local mango is in this salad.

    and for my picky eaters who turn up their noses at curried chicken, cheese, crackers and fruit. Plus some leftover steak from the other night.

  3. More Cape Cod lunching, this time at Winslow's Tavern, a lovely building in the center of Wellfleet with an outdoor patio.  Roasted oysters with tabasco lime butter

  4. I spent the Memorial Day weekend out in Wellfleet on Cape Cod.  The weather was gorgeous (except for today, it is pouring today!).  I did not do much cooking, but we ate out a lot.  The Beachcomber is probably the most famous restaurant out here.  It is not at all fancy, always extremely crowded, and the crowd can be a little rough (aka drunk!).  We go for lunch because the scene at night is not always teen appropriate.  They do a nice job with their fryer.

  5. One result of being in a weekly fish share is that I end up with lots of little packages of fish in my freezer: tail pieces, or maybe there was just too much fish to eat that week.  Last night I took out most of the packets and ground them up with cilantro, toasted coriander, ginger, garlic, cayenne, scallions, egg, panko, salt and pepper and made crispy fish cakes.  They were served on a salad with cucumbers, pickled grated carrots and a spicy chili mayo.  The recipe was from a new cookbook I picked up called num pang.  Apparently num pang is a sandwich shop in NYC.  The fish cakes were quite good, and cleared out my fish bits section of my freezer.

  6. 4 hours ago, Thanks for the Crepes said:

     

    Okay, this is an amazing photograph by any standards, but on the second look, on a smaller scale, it appears to be a literal flying saucer bearing a very enticing breakfast sandwich suspended without credible means of support. I see a suggestion of something that might be a railing on your deck, but the right side of the plate appears to float without its center of balance supported.

     

    Very lovely food and photography, as usual @liamsaunt, but some of us may wonder if you are endowed with magical powers if you do not give us more info into on how you captured this amazing image. :)

     

    Personally, I'd also love to hear what was in your breakfast sandwich as well.

     

    Hahaha! I made my husband hold the plate with his hand flat like a waiter so I could get the water view in there. It is an egg, cheese and apple sausage sandwich.image.jpeg

     

    This morning's breakfast: huevos rancheros. No flying saucer effect this morning as husband was still sleeping when I made this.

  7. Some things from Sunday's group dinner. An orzo salad with wax beans and cucumbers in a tzatsiki-like dressing

    a watermelon, pickled onion and feta salad

    a nectarine and black bean salsa

     

    nectarine salsa.jpg

     

    there was also grilled mahi mahi, roasted potatoes (for the non-orzo eaters), grilled bread (for the non-orzo AND non-potato eaters) and grilled sausages (for the non-fish eaters), but I did not get pictures of any of that.  It gets a little hectic when food for 10 starts coming off the grill.

  8.  As the weather starts to warm up, I am experimenting with pre-dinner cocktails on Saturdays.  Yesterday I made blueberry margaritas. Overall tasty but ultimately too sweet for my liking.  I only drank a quarter of mine before getting bored.

    Dinner was just burgers.  I made beef for most people, but also made the Serious Eats black bean burger recipe:

    This recipe calls for roasting the beans before making the burgers.  I really liked the resulting texture.  Sometimes bean burgers are too mushy, but not this one.

  9. last night I made a Melissa Clark recipe from the New York Times for a ginger-garlic chicken with rice.  I cooked the rice in the stock I poached the chicken in.

    We had some chilled gai lan with garlic with it.
