no idea how one eats a perfectly cooked yolk like that w chopsticks

I do not know how others do it but for me the yolk becomes a dip as it were for my rice.  It is Japanese rice so it is easy to deal with when you’re using chopsticks.

Made Bahn Mi this morning, using turkey, pepperoni, bacon, pickled carrots, tomatoes, and lettuce and 1/4 of a roll I put together this sandwich, was quite tasty.  I ate the entire roll in 3 sections.

Not completely focused I read this as, “I ate the whole roll in 3 seconds”.  Which would be totally understandable.

Salad greens topped with a zucchini/olive salad with Romano from A16.  A couple of pita chips for crunch.

That was at 11:45 and now I'm hungry again..it's 2:32.  Dang.

[robirdstx]

Sorry, no photo, I was starving and did not even think about it! I had a Wendy’s Baconator (https://www-pqa2.wendys.com/en-us/hamburgers/baconator).  No longer starving! 

[liuzhou]

One of the few food items I smuggled back from Vietnam last week was these pita breads. I've never seen them here in China and my attempts to make them haven't really worked.

 

 

Cubed and fried a skinless, boneless chicken bread with cumin coriander and chilli. Stuffed pita with a simple salad of lettuce, scallion and coriander leaf - added the chicken and some real Thai Sriracha sauce. Ate. (Excess salad on the side.)

I made a special trip to get some hot horseradish, which I believe to be critical in good cocktail sauce. I picked out the smallest littlenecks from my clamming trip a few days ago for lunch. The last of the beer in the open growler in the fridge was just about right.

Soft shell crab season is one of my favorite times of year! This one with spicy lemon and garlic aioli.

 Just little sumpin’ sumpin’. Toasted rye with cream cheese and speck. 

[Duvel]

Tomorrow is the first Dragon Boat race of this season. To sustain ourselves during the day there is a ongoing potluck, and so today I prepared two loaves (?) of Leberkäse - one traditional and one "Pizza" with olives, red peppers and cheese cubes baked in.

And for quality check I had a "LKW" (Leberkäseweck) with the tradional one, fresh from the oven with extra-hot Löwensenf. Heaven !

Still waiting for John's tooth appliances to come in so still soft-ish foods.

The other day I had roasted off some chicken breasts.  After stashing the bones in the freezer for future stock work, I made chicken salad in the mini processor with - for John - minced shallot and minced celery, a little celery salt and a mix of mayonnaise and some of my great grandmother's cooked dressing.   For me the chicken, shallot and chopped pecans and dried cherries with the same dressing.  

His was mounded on some Ritz crackers; I rolled mine in a spinach wrap with some tomato concasse.

Ascension long weekend here.

 

Smoked herring and scrambled eggs.

 

Burrata

 

Going through charcuterie I brought back from Austria.

 

People be like "nobody knows your age because you have no wrinkle*". I tell them "Omega-3 fatty acids!". (*Not true. I found my first 2 wrinkles last year...)

 

 

This is supposed to be Labskaus, a typical northern German light meal, with mashed potatoes mixed with beetroots and herring. I prefer mine crisp-fried with onions.

 

Austrian dumplings with eggs and Speck. I used rye flour here and made it Japanese -esque with sesame seeds in the batter and tamari-sesame oil for dipping.

 I eat my experiments even the failed ones. 

 

Not very smooth and far too loose carrot-ginger dressing.

Grilled swordfish with Minnesota wild rice.  Real wild rice is so much more complex than the farmed variety.   Not cheap but worse it. I buy mine from Bineshii.

Jeanne Calment, at 105 or so, told an interviewer "I only have one wrinkle...and I'm sitting on it!"

Lemon-Butter Artichoke Hearts and a Deviled Egg

 

[Okanagancook]

Wow @robirdstx

"Quadruple like"

 

Love artichokes.  We get pathetic ones here.  They are so tired and wilted I never buy them.  Are yours fresh? and they look like those baby Italian artichokes I used to be able to get when I lived in Edmonton at the best Italian grocery store ever, "The Italian Centre".  The store was started by an Italian immigrant in the Italian sector of Edmonton.  He used to help his fellow countrymen who had just arrived in Canada by extending credit in his store and donating food to them.  His daughter runs it now since he has passed and she now has three stores in Edmonton.  Oh, I miss that place so much.

[Okanagancook]

Rest of the pizza dough from American Pie used with the leftover "Turkish lamb" topping used last night for dinner.  This time I made the crust thicker and it was much better.

Here are the two:  before and after.  I cut the leftovers into pieces and froze them.....breakfast anyone?

Love artichokes...

 

I love them, too! These are Member’s Mark Whole Artichoke Hearts, packed in water, and sold at Sam’s Club. I drained them, sliced in half, sprinkled with lemon juice, added a couple of pats of butter and black pepper, then covered with waxed paper and heated in the microwave. My DH does not like artichokes, so they are all mine! 

[Okanagancook]

Those are the nicest canned artichokes!  Not sure I can get that brand up this way but I'll keep a look out.

[heidih]

Out here Trader Joes has fabulous IQF frozen artichoke hearts. On my TJ list.

Really more of a snack, but this is what I had...

@robirdstx's deviled eggs got me, too 

Re-heated spinach & leek spiral pie, deviled eggs made with the preserved lemon aioli I made the other day and fresh tomato

 

I'm sort of a purist when it comes to deviled eggs - just a little mayo and mustard - but these went very well with the spinach pie.

Quick massaman curry with mushrooms, onion, chickpeas, spinach and soft eggs.
