Both educational and entertaining, I really enjoyed the overviews

Chopped salad (cuke, cherry tomato, orange bell pepper, pickled red onion) with cottage cheese. Very refreshing!

Chopped salad-radicchio, cuke, tomato, oil packed tuna w/sundried tomatoes, balsamic vinaigrette.

@liuzhou, do the snails have different tastes depending on where they were harvested? Having only had them drowned in garlic butter, I can't say I recall what they tasted like...

Canned fish or jarred tuna is always in my pantry for when I just can't be bothered. MIght put it on a plate, might not. TBH, I do have stretches of disinterest in eating and out of concern for getting "some" protein intake, at least, those cans/jars along with Greek yogurt are pantry staples. Now that it is grilling season, I'll be better at having a supply of grilled veg and chicken on hand to throw together.

That's the strategy, I have a couple of men in my office who will hoover up ANYTHING left in the kitchen area!

Agreed, the flavors have potential as a combination, but more than likely the whole thing will be overly sweet. Don't think I want to risk buying a whole bag/package. But they would probably work repurposed as rum balls...

Fage plain Greek yogurt, drizzle of local honey, black figs, sliced/toasted almonds.

Greetings, for dining on the Cape, you should check out numerous posts from @liamsaunt, she has provided a lot of great intel (with many photos) in the regional threads.

I have a couple of Calphalon hard anodized skillets and saucepans that I've used sporadically for probably 20-25 years. Always hand washed and used non-metal utensils so they aren't scratched. They are still non-stick, but the cooking surface looks a bit dull. The quality is good, handles are solid formed aluminum and riveted through the sides of the pans. Calphalon had something they recommended in the past, their "Dormond Cleanser", for restoration of the finish, but it looks like it was discontinued. I think Barkeepers Friend is too abrasive for this purpose. Does anyone have experience with this?

@JoNorvelleWalker, you can get small tomato plants at Shoprite or Home Depot, if you aren’t too fixed on a particular variety.

Pati Jinich's and Rick Bayless's recipes use an egg white leavened sponge cake as a base. I trust their recipes.

@Smithy, this is matzoh farfel, little broken up bits of matzoh used in lieu of oatmeal for the topping. It was delicious with some vanilla ice cream.

Mixed berry Passover crisp, topping is farfel mixed with cinnamon/sugar/butter. I have to resist picking those crispy bits off.

Lousy commute to the office this morning, but a breakfast I was looking forward to made up for it - avocado toast (Dave's Killer bread) with salmon candy.
