So the cycle of leftovers begins again but I short circuited it this time! I made lamb stew for me and my son last night, sent him home with some of the leftovers, had some for lunch today, and sent the rest home to my daughter's house.

I stir fried tofu and eggplant in my own variation of a gojuchang sauce.  It was very spicy and very yummy.

Polished off the remainder of the tomato sauce from dinner.  Served today on radiatore w/ shaved Parmigiano Reggiano and chopped chives plus sliced fresh mozzarella.  I liked the combination. :-)

Kalvsylta with  sourcream and dill.  This my type of fast food, yeah I ate the whole lot and ignore boiling potatoes to it.,  YUM,  It is brawn /head cheese made with  calf meat and  I  only eat the one who used proper meat nor pink smile and is name protected.

Cheese is you friend, Cheese will take care of you, Cheese will never betray you, But blue mold will kill me.

Similar  but no the same, there is a million ways of using up the meat and putting in jelly, good way of not wasting any thing.   Sour cream , fresh potatoes and sylta is a common summer food in Sweden.

Lol. No pork but it does oink! It was a standard ML. Garlic, chopped onion, Worcestershire, little thyme. I wish I'd covered the whole thing in peaches and sugar and then torched it to get more caramelization. But it was tasty nonetheless.

Very late lunch today. Don't know where my mind was. Had a visitor right at the lunch hour and failed to even offer her a bite.

Had some odd bits of this and that in the fridge. A bit of raw minced lamb, a quarter of a red onion, half a small baked potato. Bunged these into a fry pan and made a sort of hash. Piled that into a miniature pita bread and topped with some chopped tomato and cucumber tossed in milk mayo. Sprinkled it with zatar. Not bad at all.

(A second slice of) leek & parmesan quiche, with Italian marinated peppers.  Quiche re-warmed from the fridge with two 30-second MW bursts, and a rest in between.

Another Ramen hack. Half package of instant noodles, seasoning package tossed, an egg, some bok choy and leftover Korean barbecue chicken. The stock was homemade from smoked turkey, chicken head neck and feet, and some bacon.
