Made it to the big city yesterday. Saw this from the taxi window.

 

Recent lunches in Ottawa. I was mostly eating soup due to a sore throat which resulted in a loss of voice.

 

 

 

 

 

Just like the postcard, almost.

 I wonder if it might be a seasonal thing with the mussels. I have also had them with plump bodies. 

 

 

Mushrooms and sugar snaps in cream sauce over pasta.  Trying to use everything up before I leave on Monday.

A couple of lahma bi ajeen really hit the spot for lunch.  A bird chili sliced thin on top took it over the top

Did you make them yourself?

Tiny toasties with home made tomato chutney, shredded ham and sharp cheddar, on sliced olive sourdough baguette.

I make meat mixture but use store bought  flour tortillas which work really well and because I've had them out and sometimes the dough is too thick IMO.  Or maybe I'm just use to them thin

Although, Swift recommended one-year-olds as being optimum eating.

 

Quote

a young healthy child well nursed, is, at a year old, a most delicious nourishing and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricasie, or a ragoust.... A child will make two dishes at an entertainment for friends, and when the family dines alone, the fore or hind quarter will make a reasonable dish, and seasoned with a little pepper or salt, will be very good boiled on the fourth day, especially in winter.

Shocking stuff, and quite an education.

I will choose my words much more carefully in the future

[naguere]

I give you all a 'Like'

i get good ideas from your posts as well.

 

This meal is Lamb's liver good to eat and full of everything, Bavarian noodles and stuff.

I'm feeling quite pleased with myself. Trying to avoid hints of smugness, though!

After years of trying, I think I finally made a mushroom soup that doesn't look like a muddy swamp harbouring evil creatures from the deep.

 

Soaked some dried cèpes, chopped them with some regular button mushrooms and some "king oyster (eryngii)" mushrooms and sweated them in olive oil with garlic and shallots. Added a chopped green chilli. Then the strained soaking water from the cèpes (topped up a little). Seasoned and cooked till the mushrooms were soft then blitzed in the processor. A nice, spicy, thick soup with a deep mushroom flavour. 

 

Served with home made olive bread.

Bruschetta on toasted no knead bread.

Not the most photogenic plate, even with the pomegranate kernels covering it, but it makes up for it with taste.
This is a spread made from sliced eggplant, brushed with olive oil and roasted until browned. It is then blended with toasted walnuts and a little toasted coriander seeds and a touch carob syrup.
Served with toasted bread.

Business trip to Japan, visiting a joint venture partner. This is the canteen food served at a large petrochemical site in Ciba prefecture, along with the view from said canteen. In late autumn it looks even nicer ... Nice place to work (and eat).

Wild salmon with wild mushroom risotto.

Local battered cod sandwich with pickle spear and steak fries, at a restaurant in Marblehead Harbor, Mass.

We were sitting by the deck railing, so I had to perch my plate on top of it to take advantage of the background.

 

The day before, a Reuben from a stand at the Boston Public Market.

 

With REALLY good spicy pickle chips!

[rotuts]

Yikes !

Didn't make it to Cape Cod. Decided to go north instead. Kids wanted a report on the witches, from Salem.
