Lunch! What'd ya have? (2018)

[suzilightning]

I WAS planning on taking myself out to Smashburger but Johnnybird didn't go up last night to get in place for camping.  He is still so distraught about his brother's suicide that I'm lucky if he gets out of bed...but that is another topic.  

Minced up somepulled pork from the Celebration of Mike's Life, added a bit of sauce, slapped it on some white bread with some Mr. Ron's coleslaw from Acme and wolfed it down .  Hit the spot.

I’ve been meaning to ask, and I may have missed it, but when do you put the plastic wrap on? And do you cut through it with a knife to divide the item after it has been assembled?

@Anna N

The plastic goes down first. A sheet of nori goes on top of the plastic. I assemble the filling in a snap lock container before turning it upside down onto the nori sheet. It is wrapped in the nori and then in the plastic and it should be left for about five minutes.  

I then run a knife under some water before cutting it apart through the plastic. I retain the plastic peeling it back to eat the onigirazu. 

 If you do a search you will find lots of YouTube videos explaining how to do this although very few of them use a mould.

Did indeed sous vide the chicken breast. At the moment I am staring into my refrigerator and see some of the bacon from Burt’s Farm which I might add next time.  These are fun to make and fun to eat.   Like sandwiches, there is not much that doesn’t lend itself to being included.

Thai noodles and peppers salad, with cucumbers, scallions, basil, chilies, peanut butter, and a few sauces.

 A more refined version of breakfast after much research and YouTubing.  Pressed sushi with ham and egg.  Don’t think I’m up for it again for dinner.

Down on Galveston today! Excellent lunch at Nick’s Kitchen on Seawall Blvd.

Leftovers!  Who knew?  Pressed rolls with leftover duck and leftover spinach.  Still practising.😊

Leftovers from yesterday’s lunch - reheated in the CSO for 12 minutes at 350F on Steam Bake

I took Deb out to lunch for Chinese yesterday. I spent the rest of the day processing firewood, while she took a nap. I am so sore from my efforts, yesterday, that I'm not much use around the house today. Having a beer with lunch helped, though. Now it's my turn to take a nap.

Monday is usually out-for-lunch-day with friends at a nearby café.  

The others had sandwiches, I had French toast with sausage links.

Pappasito’s Cantina in Webster was our choice for lunch today.

 

 

We started with Margaritas, Chips and Salsa. And decided to share a couple of Appetizers.

 

 

I forgot to take a photo until we had already begun to eat. This was a new appetizer not yet on the menu - Queso blanco with 5 grilled bacon wrapped shrimp on a bed of guacamole and topped with pico de gallo and crumbled cheese.

 

 

Our second appetizer was three grilled lamb chops with onions and peppers

Any place with zombies on the lunch menu can't be all bad.

Love eating in Taiwan. Everything looks and tastes good to me.

Clams with basil, one of the most common dishes in this country.

 

 

 

Veg with curly tendrils.

 

Steamed fish.

 

You pick what you want to eat, they cook how you want it. Your things get weighed and you know the (total) price straight away. Transparency is a good policy.

A simple salad of romaine, cucumber and tomato with a miso dressing and beef tataki done in the style of my favourite author, Tokiko Suzuki, who wrote Japanese Homestyle Cooking.  The beef is seared and then briefly cooked, covered, in a mixture of sake and soy sauce before being cubed and served with grated fresh ginger and garlic.   I gilded the lily somewhat with a smidgen of wasabi paste.

Pork dumplings.

 

From a distance I thought it was pickled cabbage...

 

 

 

Sweet-looking little soup dumplings.

Today, I had lunch with a friend in a restaurant on the 73rd floor of a building near my home. It is the tallest building in the city and the restaurant allows for 360º views of the city.

 

 

We ate:

 

Pumpkin Soup - Good but could have been seasoned better.

 

Seafood Fried Noodles

 

Grilled Pork

 

Grilled Shiitake

 

Fried Rice with Goose Liver - Excellent

 

Fruit Salad with Sweet Mayonnaise - I ignored this and prayed it would go away.

 

The view from my table

 

 

 

I am not one for heights, but the fruit salad scared me more than the view.

I should hope so. What were they thinking?
