Lunch! What'd ya have? (Late 2016–Early 2017)

[rotuts]

Oysters followed by Scrapple would make a mighty fine Breakfast , lunch , and then Dinner Id say.

[chefmd]

Beans, carrots, cabbage beef soup.  Very cold in VA/MD.

Toasted English muffin, leftover duck and watercress dressed with a little maple vinegar and some pickled red onion on the side.   And yes that is a glass of wine because I can.

While eating breakfast of fish salad on a bagel I was thinking of lunch and what could I make with what's in the fridge.  

 

A caponata came to mind looking at a couple eggplants on the counter.  Had enough other ingredients to make it happen.  Whipped it up while still eating breakfast and it made a dandy lunch  when my wife and I returned from checking out the construction of her new office.  Why don't I make this more often?

My husband and I had planned to go to one of our local favorites for a late lunch today, but while I was surfing on the net I found another place close to us that we had not tried before. So, we lunched at the Nobi Public House in Webster. They specialize in craft beers and serve Vietnamese-fusion cuisine. We will go back!

Crusty baguette and cheese.

I do have pickles and tomatoes and other cheese enhancement products but, today I had a lovely fresh baguette and some OK cheese and just wanted the basics.

Was that a runny yolk? If so...

I opened a carton of Campbell's Pho Broth by mistake, so I added shirataki noodles, ground pork/shrimp/waterchestnut meatballs (left over filling from wontons), Romaine lettuce, and cilantro. It did the job.
                          

[Anna N]

Yup. Perfectly cooked egg to a level of a platonic Ideal until  it wasn't anymore.

Takeout sushi. An occasional indulgence that I sometimes order before shopping in the grocery store next door. Spicy Tuna and Spicy Tuna California rolls.

Eating lunch out while I do some fill in work in Tampa.  Stopped into a local long time Cuban joint for a big plate of mojo pork with yellow rice and black beans.  No pictures as I refuse to photo food in restaurants.

There seems to slobber on my computer screen!  Wow, those looks amazing.

A friend dropped off two of these diminutive squash. A bit of research suggests that they are honeynut squash.

 

 

  So I adapted a recipe.

 

 

 And they became lunch.

@Anna NOh, good. For a second I thought you were having cat food for lunch!

   No.  Just to give you an idea of scale. I have a houseguest who needs the cat food more than I do!

[shain]

@Anna N Looks delicious. How does it compare to butternut, other than portion size?

That was my thought, too. "Squash and cat food? This oughta be an interesting recipe..."

It is definitely sweeter and the skin is entirely edible.

So you were not, in fact, considering a DIY repeat of picture #4 from this post?

@Anna N  I've not had the pleasure of the Huneynut but sounds fantastic from what I read about them.  Like sweeter concentrated Butternut.  Your dish looks fantastic

Why thank you. If you ever get a chance give them a try.
