Id have like to have some take out lunch at the first exit 

 

Fresh Abalone , just harvested , done just right ?

[shain]

Yellow beans in tomato with turmeric, ginger, garlic, cumin, coriander, soy sauce. Fried tempeh. Nasi kuning (turmeric rice)

 

Somewhat monotonous in color, but very tasty nonetheless.

I woke up this morning with a craving for Mexican.

Happens to me all the time 😛

@Nicolai

 

I want all of that. Except the greens.

 

I am having Froot Loops (dry, from a coffee mug) and pinot grigio. I am not ashamed.

 

What I am is exhausted after having to deal with the dreaded WalMart and then buy groceries, all in the same day. Tomorrow...tomorrow is another day.

Creole shrimp with creamed corn.  Served with jalapeno and cheddar cheese cornbread.

[chefmd]

Scallops and zucchini.  There was a sauc3 added later but it was superfluous.

 

[HungryChris]

Korean BBQ wings (at Deb's request),  seasoned garden tomatoes and deviled eggs.

@kayb  I always thought a Zinfandel went better with Froot Loops

[Kim Shook]

Cincinnati chili and cheese dogs and baked beans:

 

 

Chips and green onion dip (a mix that every DC area kid grew up on):

 

And pickly things:

On the left are those weird "cheater" sweet pickles made from drained kosher dills with sugar and vinegar added.  They are delicious and oddly addicting.  I hope I don't cause any trouble this time.  The last time I posted them (some years ago), someone said, "Let me get this straight...you made pickles out of pickles".  The disdain was quite evident😁.  On the right is my first batch of marinated cucumbers this summer.

A tostada of sorts with poblano peppers from the garden.  They are the HOTTEST poblanos I've ever had.

The tostada looks great, though. Poblanos always surprise me. They aren't known for their heat - at least, not in the books that I've read - but those that I buy often have a sneaky heat that builds into a pretty good strength. I know to be careful with jalapeños. I'm still trying to remember to be careful with poblanos.

I couldn't believe how hot they were.  They are hotter than my jalapeños.

Chicken ramen 🐓 🍜 🍲

 

[weinoo]

 

Merguez (from D'artagnan freezer sale), home made cole slaw and cucumber salad, with a few pickled carrots thrown in. A clean-up the fridge kind of meal.

[liamsaunt]

caesar salad with grilled shrimp 

 

[Norm Matthews]

NYT recipe in my mailbox yesterday said it was Herby Pork Larb, a variation on a Thai dish.  I had to wait dinner for a couple hours and when I reheated it, the herbs got a little wilted but it was still a keeper. We had bok choy with it and Charlie asked me to make again a fruit salad I made last month. 

[chefmd]

Swordfish steam baked in CSO with pan roasted zucchini.

[ElsieD]

Sausage ragout with polenta and some slightly overcooked broccoli.

[Dante]

Tonight's dinner: salad of chicken (low temperature poached, then browned in a cast iron skillet), mango, blueberries, maple roasted cashews, mozzarella, cucumber, and daikon, over arugula and mustard greens, with a sprinkle of chinkiang vinegar.

[HungryChris]

Papperardelle with Bolognese and a fresh garden salad.

I never think to put sauce on polenta - always automatically go to pasta.  But I need to remember to do this.  It looks so good and makes so much sense.  And my broccoli is always slightly overcooked.  I detest crunchy broccoli and don't care at all for the stalks, so I cut really close to the tops and always overestimate how long it will take to cook them.

Sausage and pepperoni pizza last night

 

[liuzhou]

I know I've posted a version of this before, but it's a favourite and it's always slightly different.

 

Pork marinated 36 hours in olive oil and lemon juice with coriander and chilli. Served here with orzo* and a tomato, asparagus and scallion salad.

 

 

 

 

* Normally, I'd serve this with rice, but recently I've gone off rice. A few months ago I was given a 10kg bag of Chinese rice, but I really don't like Chinese rice. It is very low quality. I always buy Thai rice. But I was reluctant to waste it and attempted to use it, but to no avail. Now, I am just avoiding rice because I feel It's crazy to buy rice when you have a bucketful already, but at  the same time really want to replace it. I'll crack soon.

Wow!  It must be odd to live so long in China and dislike the staple food. Even stranger to me to hear that the rice is low quality.
