TicTac

not sure how eg manages to totally rotate the orientation from how it’s even displayed in my phone but...kudos! Shrimps - lobster sauce - egg bean noodle. Back yard wild celery (First pic) - beans and cabbage

Listen, if you want men to avoid liking you so much, quit feeding them such good food!

If I may jump in... I have been continually 'perfecting' mushroom (or any) risotto for over 20 years. Some of the key's I have found: - Must use mushroom stock, the more intense the better. Porcini re-hydration liquid is great here. - Have an intense mushroom 'boost' for 3/4 of the way through the cooking process ready - e.g. sautee your mushrooms, shallots, deglaze with wine and stock - reduce, add butter and herbs - then add this saucy mixture to the risotto. - The more browning on your mushrooms, the better. Enjoy!

Garden tomato sauce - ricotta/parm/fresh ramp/garlic leaves baked squares w pancetta - fried potato gnocchi

I have a few extra limes... How about some kaffir lime leaves!?

No (I have those as well, but they are bean curd) - these ones were sweet potato starch noodles. I love the chew on them.

Tilt sideways (or have another glass or two!). Veg Thai coconut curry on glass noodles

+ =

Absolutely relevant meal... fried rice, seared veg, spicy “crack”

That's some quality social distancing measures. Apparently good (food) tastes does not necessarily coincide with high levels of intellect.

Have to see the beauty in the little things - was just getting some stuff ready for dinner, in this case large local organic spinach. Soon to become some butter “creamed” concoction... Hope everyone is staying safe and healthy.

clams - ginger/chilli/garlic/cherry tom/ramp oil

Seared scamorza on crispy potato wheel with tomato reduction and crispy prosciutto Molten cocoa and marzipan cake

Thanks! I go to a Japanese fish/sushi place nearby - https://www.tarosfish.com/ They always have excellent quality and variety.

King salmon, ocean trout, Atlantic salmon, salmon belly, kampachi and hamachi belly turns into.... nigiri and rolls - seared belly with Yuzu soy.. to wash it down wife’s bday dinner - ala isolation!

refried bean taco salad (there is shredded lettuce under there!)

But it sure helps to relieve the stress and forget about the madness that is our world!

Faux pulled pork sandwiches (king oyster mushrooms and onion jam) with Korean swt pot fries and big-Mac’esque inspired sauce - I won’t eat their burgers but the sauce from what I recall as a kid - was great!

@KennethT - Just took out a pack of organic chicken bone in thighs for curry tonight - would love to hear more about your version above - I was going to go the Thai route, but I am happy to veer slightly off my flight course....(assuming I have the ingredients on hand!).

LOL Full disclosure, we only have a set of 8 of our nice 'clean/white' plates and I really do not like the patterns on this one - the rest were in the dish washer, hence my attempt to avoid the eyesore that is that plate and create an EXTREME closeup!

Lobster reduction poutine - cabbage and enoki mushroom - big wok hay flavours (not pictured - but then again who wants to see veggies when you can look at this!)

Don't hesitate - happy to help if I can. From what I hear many of the Chinese supermarkets are offering great pricing on live lobsters - Heard T&T had them for $1 less than what I paid! Also ended up getting some live BC little neck clams, cooked up and frozen for future pasta.

Sunny Supermarket - Leslie and Finch - excellent variety of live and very fresh fish. Here's a question for you folks with more experience than I with Lobster stock - I took the shells and created a very nice reduced stock from the above meal, I would like to make a sauce out of it go to with a deconstructed poutine tomorrow, but I am not sure which route to take....help!

Not the prettiest of plates - but it was tasty. When live east coast lobsters are cheaper than salmon ($9/lb CDN) I cannot help myself! edit - @Anna N - I was at Ambrosia's the other day and they had plenty of frozen organic veg - if you need, I can pick some up and we can figure out a transport method to get them over to you...

I do too - but I want to reduce trips to the market under current circumstances, figured someone might have some experience / knowledge on the topic!
