Anticipating a large dinner tonight, I kept lunch simple. The chips were not good - the potato had a strange texture. Not sure why. Omelette was fine.

 

 

Plain 2-egg omelette and chips.

 

Thanks for the idea.  My dinner may be an omelet.

It wasn't.  As much as I wanted I couldn't summon the energy.  Dinner was a can of Progresso soup.  Good it was too.

Lunch was mortadella, provolone, tomatoes and fine cabbage slaw on a roll with a few fresh picked and quickly blistered shishito peppers.

Lunch a delivered by my Beau and I decided to go for my Biennial 'Lets Give a Steak Sanga Another Chance'. 

This was NOT the game changer. 

Chippys were quite good though. 

 

'Prime' Rump Steak, Onion, Lettuce, Cheese, Carrot, Beetroot - Tomato and Cucumber (discarded) No Sauce.

Lobsters are on sale again this week, so dinner plans are made. My favorite sushi place is right next door.......I think you can see where I am going with this.

Stir fried fresh ramen noodles (拉面 lā miàn) with pork, shiitake, carrot, green onion, garlic, ginger, Shaoxing wine and soy sauce.

Because sometimes you need a greasy cheeseburger and rings from the local diner.

I'm having a little trouble with the whole concept of mussels and French fries, but y'all invented poutine up there so who knows. Yes, yes, I know that poutine is a Québécois thing but you are supposed to be adult supervision out there in BC. *grin*

Locally grown cantaloupe and prosciutto .

 

 

Heavenly.

[rotuts]

Moules-frites

 

is a classic dish from Belgium.

 

 and superb when done well

 

the two items go together seamlessly.

 

I though every body knew that.

Anna,

 

It looks like it tastes wonderful. I like the rice form - what dd you use?

 

I might have fanned the peas, fanned the tomatoes on top, and fanned the skirt steak next to them. Even if I'm cooking just for myself I get fussy. We all have our oddities. My wife wants everything in serving dishes. I go from cookware to a presentation plating. To each their own.

 

I envy you the tomatoes and peas - we aren't seeing anything that looks that good down here.

This Ultimate Tomato Sandwich, With Jammy Eggs & Herby Mayo from Food52 passed before my eyeballs recently.  Today, it made it on to my plate:

I bought some carrots this morning that were 1/3 root and 2/3 greens. I didn't want to waste the tops so I made a carrot top and pistachio pesto, and I've reserved the stems for stock.

 

For lunch, I made a small pesto and potato frittata, along with some toasted store-bought sourdough.

 

There's still plenty of pesto left over . I'll be working my way through it for a while.

Pasta casserole, with some cream, mozzarella, tomatoes, lots of basil and garlic, some chili. All Just mixed together and baked until crisp. 

I like making batch of this mix and baking portions of it over a few days. It gets better as the mixture sits in the fridge and the garlic and basil infuses the fats.

This looks wonderful.   You should add your pesto picture to the What Are You Preserving thread

LOL!

 

I really wanted a Rock Ford Colorado cantaloupe.  Those are the absolute best IMO.  I will have to see about the Galia--I don't think I've ever heard of them and I love honeydew.

 

The prosciutto is thinly sliced country ham

Chaliapin steak and tomato salad. The steak is said to have been developed by the chef of the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo. In 1936 the Russian opera star was visiting Japan and is said to have asked for an extremely tender steak that he could eat while suffering a toothache.   Truth or fiction the steak was very tasty.  Here’s

one version. 

 

The tomato was a gift and I wanted to make something special of it.  

 

@Shelby— I suspect you might enjoy this treatment of a PEELED tomato.
