Well...I managed to get the whole recipe to reveal itself with some manipulation...thanks

@liamsaunt, those flavors are right in my wheelhouse...link to recipe?

Macaron! I took a workshop at Sur la Table, hard to work in large groups (16 people, we broke in to 4 groups), but I wanted to learn hands on before tackling solo. We got good feet on our shells, the take home samples are a mix from the whole group so varied sizes...

I love Lenten season because of the increased variety of fish available, both in the local supermarket and as specials in the restaurants. Fat Tuesday usually hits near my birthday so I'll find some way to indulge...

Ben & Jerry's ice cream in Amsterdam, that's surprising to see. Food looks outstanding.

For me, ginger tea is coins of peeled ginger, lemon peel, and honey simmered for a while until I feel like the ginger taste is strong enough (so it will vary depending on volume of water/amt of ginger). Some fresh lemon juice added to the cup before drinking. Last time I made a large amount and reduced it quite a bit with sugar to make a ginger simple syrup which was really nice tossed with citrus segments.

Pasilla chiles, rehydrated, would be great used in homemade enchilada sauce if you like Mexican food...

Looks like a plate of whipped cream with a side of pie😍, appropriate ratio...

mmm, gingerbread. Around Christmas time Whole Foods was selling squares (individually wrapped) and I enjoyed it plain for mid-morning snack with tea. I have several varieties of herbal tea in my pantry which contain ginger (mango/ginger, lemon/ginger, ginger/maple...you get the idea). Carrot ginger soup is also a favorite of mine.

Pizza. NJ, particularly where I live, is also replete with excellent pizza. That was what DH wanted. Nice restaurant on Saturday.

Nuts.com has free shipping with $29+ purchase, today only.

Trying to be better about not letting things languish in the freezer...breakfast was "planned-over" roasted garnet sweet potato reheated in office micro. This is becoming a favorite for these cold rainy days.

I drink herbal tea all day at work, so for convenience I am using prepackaged bags from Celestial Seasonings, Yogi, etc. I will brew ginger tea as posted above when I am home with a cold. My current rotation from Celestial is Vanilla Spice and Apple Cinnamon (everyone near my office comments how they crave apple pie when I have this). From Yogi tea I am enjoying ginger mango. In the summer I will be more likely to lean towards less cinnamon...ginger/lemon, peach, etc.

Baked eggplant and chicken parm casserole. Bought pre-made eggplant planks (made locally, very good, panko crumbs), cooked a few chicken tenderloins simply with s+p and sliced garlic, cut in to pieces. Layered in a dish with sliced canned artichokes, simple tomato/basil sauce, parm, topped with plenty of mozzarella. Served with some tagliatelle, also locally made/fresh.

I have had the Cannoli flavor during its first go-around, I remember liking it, will look for it...

I say yay to the perfectly toasted English Muffin, that's exactly how I like them. Averting my eyes from the eggs...

Roasted salmon fillet after dusting with 5 spice and a brush of hoisin, sugar snap peas, packaged lemon pepper flavored “rice” made from veg (chickpea and lentil flour mostly). 13 more hours until my physical and then I am home free. Not that I am counting or anything....😉

Chick Fil A "catering" for the office...since everyone will eat it. Cold grilled chicken wraps, couple of salads w/grilled chicken, and platter of warm grilled chicken and fixin's (including bacon strips) for make your own sandwich. Supplemented with snack size chips and M&M cookies from the supermarket.

Put them in the fridge when they hit perfect ripeness, they will hold for several days, I have kept them a week that way. I am torn, we usually make a big sheet pan of nachos and have ice cream, but I have blood being drawn Monday so I have to keep it healthy...maybe some guac with rice cakes😂

Leftover pan seared tuna (cold), salad of marinated carrots with diced fresh pineapple, little minced celery and scallion with vinaigrette.

OK, found the raspberry KitKats at ShopRite near my office. Will be easy to resist this one, the taste is very thin, almost "watery". There is very little raspberry flavor. Small sticks, around 2".

Crabcakes for dinner, with a side of crabcakes. And salad. Baked them on nonstick alum foil, oiled a little to ensure browning.

I had Pocket Caffe several years ago, my sister’s Sicilian MIL brought some as a gift...mmm

No photos, dinner at home last night also. Pan seared tuna that I had briefly marinated in soy/lime/ginger, oven roasted broccoli and garnet sweet potato (microwaved sweet potatoes until softened a bit, cut in to 1/2" thick circles, sprinkle of ancho chili, salt, and one drop of honey on top of each before roasting).

Nothing says Pirate Life like fruity beer...
