  1. Today's lunch was amazing. We tried a new place called Hakka Rise. The menu goes on forever so we were both a little leery. Everything was excellent if someone's spicier than we like.

    mango lassi for me.

    Wonton soup for me.

    Hot and sour soup for Kerry.

    then we shared some rice, some chicken fried MOMA, some Thai crispy beef and some Manchurian cauliflower.  Very satisfactory.

  2. Last week a return to Saving Thyme.IMG_5870.thumb.jpeg.51bdbba462b33eb165b320af633c9c1e.jpeg
     

    For me quiche with salad. Seconds after this photograph was taken the quiche skated off the plate did a  mid air flip and landed on the carpet with a debris field to rival that of the Titanic.

    kerry's gluten-free lunch which has been haunting me ever since I watched her enjoy it. It is high on my list for an upcoming lunch.

  3. I was not up for much today so Kerry chose the restaurant, Mystic Ramen in Hamilton. And what a great choice it was.

    Unconventional and non-traditional but delicious Ramen.

    Mine: Wontonmen (chicken chintan (clear broth)  with shoyu tare  topped with shrimp and pork wontons, pork belly and scallions) with extra bok choy, bean sprouts, egg. On the side wafu broccoli and chicken karaage.

    Kerry's: 

    Lemon pickle Paitan

    Our signature tori paitan broth seasoned with a smoked shio tare, topped with roasted chicken, arugula, scallions, pickled shiitake mushrooms, pickled ginger, a carrot flower and lemon pickle. Sprinkled with sesame seeds. This beauty is reminiscent of a tandoori oven. This ain’t your classic bowl of ramen, but it sure is a great one. To be really unconventional Kerry asked for the ramen noodles to be replaced with cabbage!

    Ahhh, those were the days, my friend!  I can't believe they shipped those well-aged cocktails down to @Kerry Beal but how sweet that you get to share both the memories and an actual cocktail!

     

    Luckily for me Kerry is always driving so I get to have all the cocktails. I made that bottle last for about four cocktails I believe. There are two more bottles to go.

  5. I have been negligent in posting our lunches. I have excellent excuses but I will not bore you with them.

    this one probably belongs in the unexpected food gifts topic but I'm going to put it here. Remember in the before times when @Kerry Bealand I used to go up to Manitoulin Island for six weeks? Before we left each year Kerry would put together some cocktails which would require very little additional work to have a drink ready when we arrived after a long drive. Well all of Kerry's belongings, collected over 20 years, were shipped down to her. She brought all the cocktails over to my house. She will never know how grateful I am! This is an Eyeore's Requiem brought to life with the addition of some orange twists. Man that was good.

     

    Kerry found a new restaurant that serves both corned beef and  banh mi! I was hoping to give you a website but I can't seem to find the restaurant.

    Kerry had the brisket on rye.

    I had a classic bahn mie with some coleslaw. It was very good.

    almost the same.  Mine has a layer of chopped kimchi on top of the avocado and a drizzle of kimchi mayo. 

    Like bacon, kimchi makes everything better (even avocado!)

    I actually like kale, both raw and cooked.

    You make so many amazing meals that it seems petty to judge you for liking kale. I simply cannot chew  it and hence find it quite dangerous on my plate. I want somebody close at hand who is familiar with the Heimlich maneuver.

    Soooo … from someone who can expertly cook anything, he requests kale salad ?!

    That's pretty much what came to my mind.  Who with all their wits about them chooses kale for anything other than composting?

    Truthfully I hadn't even realized we had a separate Prime Day of our own. Which tells you how much the whole thing impacts my likelihood of buying anything. :P

    I'm tempted but not much and it's not kitchen ware.

    Kimchi and potato salad - quite satisfying!

    I thought I was looking at a crime scene initially.😂😂😂😂😂

    but I love kimchi and I bet it was good with potato salad.
