Senior Sea Kayaker

Apologies for the sloppy presentation. Black pepper and sesame seed crusted tuna, shishito peppers, green beans with mushrooms and peppers, shrimp egg noodles with thai chilis and garlic chives. Tasted great and some leftovers for tomorrow's breakfast.

Gravlax, soft scrambled egg, greens with a bit of dill mustard. Cherries on the side.

One upside to hospital food is how much more you'll appreciate food at home. I hope you're home soon.

@chromedome Could happen. Last week I very unexpectedly found shishito peppers at Giant Tiger.

@Shelby Envy your tomatillos. The only way I'll see any here is when I grow my own (in the 2023 gardening plans).

@Kim Shook I always have a few cans of either smoked oysters or mussels for 'emergencies' (aka too lazy to do more than open a can).

Yesterday's breakfast: potato, pepper and cheddar omelet, ww toast with apricot jam. Second breakfast after two hours of snow clearing: Soup with shrimp balls, pork and chive dumplings and vegetables. Blueberries and yogurt on the side.

Early dinner yesterday ( it was still light out): Shrimp and sole (seasoned with Slap ya Mama Cajun), tomato, lettuce with remoulade sauce on a soft roll. Served with a local brew: Breton Brewing Let's Jam.

All the food looks great. I'll have it on my mind as I shovel and plow out our latest snowstorm. 😋

Now serve that over naan with a runny egg on top and Bob's your uncle.

A thank you for a little dog sitting:

Small strip sirloin, pierogis, blistered shishito peppers, sour green tomatoes, mixed greens, tomato and feta salad with a glass of Cote de Rhone. The other half of the steak with oven roasted potatoes and carrots, peas, tomato salad and a glass of Cote de Rhone. Hamburger 'steak', roasted butter nut squash, greens, tomato and feta salad with an Uncle Leo's Smoked Porter (one of the best porters I've had in a long time).

A few breakfasts: I wanted fishcakes, beans and eggs unfortunately I didn't have any leftover fish so I took the lazy man's route. Fish sticks, beans, eggs with chili and herbs, toast with apricot jam and blueberries. Egg, sausage, cheddar, tomato and greens on ww bagel with navel and blood oranges.

A toss up between colcannon and pommes paillasson.

First order of seeds arrived today: Really looking forward to my first full season here.

The view after our latest snow Too bad it'll be gone by Sunday. Turned out to be a perfect day for a long hike on snowshoes. Breakfast was , in a throwback to university days, chili, quesadillas and oranges and blueberries. Back then it would have been cold chili. I had some home cured back bacon so played around with sandwich combinations: No. 1: Eggs with herbs and chilis, back bacon and arugula on ciabatta. No. 2: Egg with chili, back bacon, aged cheddar, tomato and arugula on ww bread. No. 1 won for the bread and No. 2 for the filling composition.

Sausages over Molly Stevens' braised cabbage, roasted acorn squash, mixed greens with tomato and cucumber salad with a glass of pinot gris.

I save the few extra whites frozen to be eventually used to make seafood sausages (they're the binder). Also for something like a shrimp or salmon mousse.

I have a lot of dried porcinis from last Fall's forage so something to try. There is a lot of variation with respect to the ingredients (online recipes) for that dish so I'll see where it goes.

Something I'll have to try if I get lucky this spring.

Not offended in the least. My initial inquiry was not general. If it had been I would have inquired whether 'mushrooms and seafood work together' or "any ideas about combining mushrooms and seafood'. I'm familiar with Coquilles St. Jacques, and Sole Bonne Femme and others, so I was merely interested in the OP's opinion of her dish.

Here's a thought. Why not just wait until the OP responds?

I'll be more precise in my wording. Combining shitake (a strongly flavoured mushroom) with seafood.

Breakfast yesterday before a long walk in the woods. Egg and chilis, cheese, slow roasted onion and arugula wrap with blueberries and orange. It's been snowing heavily since dawn so a comfort breakfast (I like soup for breakfast). I'm hoping for enough snow to break out the snowshoes. Pot barley, black bean, collard vegetable soup with toasted cheese on ciabatta.

@liamsaunt I've always been hesitant combining mushrooms and seafood (always thought the mushrooms would overpower) so did the taste of the monkfish come through?
