@rotuts, on your advice I grabbed a jar of the Aldi mayonnaise (I forget the brand name, and the label fell off). It does indeed taste a dead ringer for Hellman's. Thanks for that tip!

Mortadella, kimchi and pickled zucchini ribbons sandwich. Cucumber pickles and the first out of a gifted jar of stuffed sweet peppers. They are stuffed with cabbage, which frankly didn't sound that good, but are interestingly good in a sweet and sour way.

Made two mini bison loaves with sautéed red peppers, onions and instead of the usual panko for the panade I used some of his gluten free bread I buzzed up in my mini chop.  Added an egg, Worcestershire sauce and some vegetable broth.

I sautéed some more red peppers and onion.  Whisked together 3 eggs, a heaping teaspoon of pesto sauce and a few sundried tomato pieces in olive oil.  Added the egg mixture to the pan, set about half the eggs then put into the oven with the baking loaves.

 

After about 20 minutes the frittata was ready.  Let it cool about 5 minutes then devoured half of it.  Loved it!! Creamy, crusty on the edges and a bit tangy from the cheese in the pesto.  Will have the rest with a salad and some bread for tomorrow's lunch.

 

John had two slices of one of the bison loaves along with half a baked sweet potato,

He's taking the other loaf, some roasted potatoes and two chicken sandwiches up to his sisters' when he leaves later.

Nothing is better than frying in lard.

Aldi imitation Triscuts with TJ's goat milk brie and a dab of Oriental mustard. The cheese is at it's best when allowed to soften at room temp for several hours. I call it waiting for the "slump".

From this sunless weekend:

Latvian smoked sprats.

And some more fat... foie gras au torchon.

Seaweed comes with my weekly oysters. Quickly warmed it up in a pan with some tamari. Finished with sesame oil.

Dried tuna roe brought back from Alicante, Spain. I brought back enough dried and tinned stuff to last a little while. Why do I adore Spain so and almost everything they eat there?!

Got 2 dozen figs this weekend and have been gorging on them.

@BonVivant, everything you post always looks absolutely luscious, but I almost fainted dead away at the figs dipped in chocolate. I could eat a dozen of those, easily.

 

Pimiento cheese, bacon, tomato sandwich redux, this time with a photo:

Kayb, thank you.

I'm always working on myself, my food, my photography... for myself. Introverted perfectionist extraordinaire. I ate a few whilst dipping them. Some just slipped and made a mess. (Or maybe I did it on purpose...)

So I had appointments this morning,  Then my cleaning angel showed up and then my son-in-law came to do some repairs on the outside of my house. By the time everyone left it was 1 o'clock and I was prepared  to start chewing on my rug.   What could I make that was fast given that it's time I did some grocery shopping. I had a Sous Vide chicken breast from a couple of days ago and a beautiful tomato from my daughter's garden.   I also had some basil she had brought me. Ding ding. What about that basil vinaigrette that David Lebovitz recently mentioned.   And so my lunch was born.

Lunch is deconstructed hummus.  

I had some cooked chickpeas in the fridge which I seasoned with salt, garlic powder a good dose of olive oil and a drizzle of tahini.  Ground cumin would have been nice but I was lazy and hungry

The last time I ate this particular combination, the Beatles were still a functional entity and Elvis was still alive.

Leftovers from the night before's dinner.

 

mince.jpg

 

Spiced up mince and tatties - with a poached egg on top to make it different from last night. This is something my mother specialised in, although her poached eggs were always over-cooked, and she would never dream of putting chilies in her m+t.

Anyway, there wasn't enough tattie, so I finished mopping up with a slice of home made bread. Happiness reigned.

If you make this "drizzle of tahini" more of a "generous pour", mix it all well and serve hot, you got yourself masabacha ^_^
