I have been eating this butternut squash and pinto bean chili over brown rice all week. It does not look like much, but it tastes good. I don't usually like to eat the same thing in a row but it has not bothered me with this dish. Recipe from the New York Times: http://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1016032-vegetarian-chili-with-winter-vegetables

That chili recipe sounds very adaptable, @liamsaunt - I'm putting it on my list!

Had some turnips rolling around the bottom of the veg drawer for way too long and some milk left by house guests so today I made a variation on the Turnip Soup with Turnip Greens recipe from Deborah Madison's Greens cookbook, one of my favorite soups.

The greens belonging to these particular turnips are long gone so I garnished it with some sautéed kale and cauliflower leaves and a few drops of toasted pumpkin seed oil.

Late lunch. Could be dinner.

Leftovers from dinner last evening. Orzo, sweet potato, onion, mushrooms with soy sauce and balsamic vinegar. For lunch I reheated some added a little sour cream and some crunchy deep fried shallots.

Smoked blue fish, shishito peppers and kimchi

HungryChris · January 15, 2016

Just returned from Cranston, RI in pursuit of my kimchi of choice, Kimchi Pride and decided to celebrate with a kimchi dog. I chop it up to give it the consistency of relish.

Wow I think I can get that same brand !

HungryChris · January 15, 2016

rotuts,

I imagine you can probably get some great mortadella as well as another favorite of mine, finocchiona salami in the north end.

Brunch or lunch? I don't know.

Seaweed Crackers. Basically, Saltine crackers with seaweed. Me likes.

Today, I spread them with cream cheese and topped with with sliced strawberries.

I've long liked strawberries with salt and pepper, both of which are supplied by the crackers. The sweetness of the berries sits well with the slight tang of the cream cheese. All the tastes and textures here come together in a way that pleases me.

I had a second plate.

Anna N · January 16, 2016

Was a late breakfast or an early lunch. Cheese and onion jam quesadilla with salsa and labneh (no sour cream in house but this made a fine stand-in).

Excuse my profound ignorance, but "dead horse"?

Rolls look great!

Sorry, rhyming slang, dead horse = tomato sauce (which Americans call ketchup).

I don’t usually eat lunch on weekdays, but got a craving today – fried bologna and cheese sandwich and hash browns:

The hash browns were just made in a frying pan. I preferred them to the waffle iron experiment of a few days ago. Not ALL crunch like the iron and only a frying pan to wash. Easy!

Lunch today was eaten here.

For those who don't read Chinese, here is a clue to their specialty

Yes it's my local donkey meat noodle shop. And here is my lunch.

Hand made, wide, flat rice noodles in a broth with donkey meat, Chinese chives and a little chilli oil. Delicious.

It's a popular place and gets packed out at lunchtime, Today I got there a little earlier. But if it is full, there is always the horse meat noodle place round the corner. Although I prefer donkey.

Love the way they have appropriated Shrek's friend.

Almost every dish on the short menu contains donkey meat. They also sell the meat for home cooking.

Home made (bread machine) bread with leftover sous vide ribeye steak (Christmas gift) with some pickled ginger.

Leftover kabocha squash spätzle from yesterday dinner got broiled with cave aged Gruyere

Some Rancho Gordo black turtle beans found their way to my house when Kerry Beal returned from San Francisco (they are almost impossible to find in Canada). So some were cooked in the Instant Pot and turned into this corn and black bean salad with a lime vinaigrette.
