The "Chicken Dance" song is running through my head....

 

Da da da da da da DAH Da da da da da da DAHDa da da da da da DAH da da da da....

 

(repeat as needed)

 

 

For ignoramuses like me, here's a link to what Wiki has to say about the chicken dance, and there are lot's of links on YouTube, if you want to hear it performed. Who knew? Certainly not me.

 

Nice grilled cheese and your chicken plates are beautiful @robirdstx.

Fusilli & Roasted Cauliflower with Capers from Melissa Clark's Dinner p 190.

IMG_5978.thumb.jpg.36981894dd22de6b8fad98def88bf29f.jpg
This recipe adds a spoonful of butter, along with garlic, lemon zest and juice and zest, toasted pine nuts and grated cheese.  The butter contrasts nicely with the sharpness of the lemon and capers - half of which get roasted along with the cauliflower. 

Nice variation on something I usually make without a recipe.

 Certainly not visually exciting but it did the trick. From the freezer, leftover eggrolls and chicken wings.

I pulled a couple of bags from the freezer - one of bones, skin and off-cuts remaining after filleting a piece of cod a couple of weeks ago; the other containing some cod flesh.

 

Made stock with the bones etc, drined that through cheesecloth then added the cod pieces, some shallot, chili flakes, baby bok choy (小白菜 xiǎo bái cài) and noodles. Fishy noodle soup.

 Cheese, soppressata and a tomato on flatbread. Heated just long enough to melt the cheese and crisp up the flatbread.

Seasonal Tempura set in a small family-run place in Roppongi, Tokyo: Shrimp, eggplant, pumpkin, shiso leaf, some white fishes, squid, peppers and as the highlight a glorious entire see eel fillet (anago) ... all made in front of you by the master. Orange segments as the perfect dessert.

 Red cabbage sautéed with some onion and some bacon ends and dressed with a little sherry vinegar.

Leftovers from the other night's dinner, served on pasta.  

IMG_6004.thumb.jpg.82e2feda7f30647eecaf529553af9a00.jpg

Grilled zucchini, tossed with pesto and served over spaghetti dressed with stewed tomatoes and a sprinkle of Parmesan.   All from Deep Run Roots, where the squash was served on a pool of stewed tomatoes - no spaghetti involved in the original.

Lunch today was a couple of bowls of home made carrot and coriander soup with home made bread to dunk. Followed by a couple of cheese (Irish Cheddar), ham and lettuce sandwiches using the same bread.

Not technically my lunch, nor today's fare (I hope this is allowed, I am still feeling out some of the subtler nuances of these boards - I did make it!) but a fathers day share lunch sent to work with my other half. Caramel Slice / Millionaires shortbread lurking in the back and leftover roast chicken an vegetables cunningly disguised in pastry and presented as a whole new meal.

I think you underestimate your skills, those little pies look amazing.
