Besides, no one else can make lemon curd like hers!  

 

Have you ever shared that particular recipe? If not, would you / could you? I have loved lemon curd since my summer in York, but never been satisfied with my attempts.

I would share it in a minute, but I've never managed to get it from her.  I am 100% sure that it is not about keeping a secret, because she isn't like that at all.  She even gave me one of her two very, very shallow tart pans so I could make mince tarts - she gave it to ME, not one of her three daughters!  LOL.  But, she is a very disorganized and messy and I only think of asking at Christmas when she brings jars to my house and I think she just forgets and so do I.

 

This is the one that I use.  It isn't hers, but it is very good.  And I love that it only uses yolks - lemon curd goes so well angel food cake! 😉

@Kim Shook

 

nice sandwiches , and Bang Bang

 

guess you're not going back to that breakfast place anytime soon !

 

glad you caught it before it was  too late !

I finished my diet, I was so thrilled about the results that I relaxed for 2 weeks, now I am back on diet. Not to loose weight but to keep my very hard earned muscles. Back on proteins 😁

Congrats!   You're on the right track.   It's never a diet but THE diet, i.e., lifestyle.    Well done, and carry on.

Yes, definitely a lifestyle change. I thought I had one also before 😂 but stopped working. Life is an evolution, this is a simpler me.

@robirdstx I have great fondness for The Owl. Were you birding in the Bosque del Apache?

Yes, my sister and I birded there both days. Love all the sandhills, geese and ducks. We also saw a flock of more than 50 wild turkey.

Grilled tuna, salad ready to dress from in the fridge, leftover. My 5 minutes lunch 😁

Lunch in an Argentinian restaurant in Monterrey, Mexico. Very large beef....

[BonVivant]

Little tapas at Mi Casita.

 

Rendered Iberico fat with greaves.

 

In Spain you get bits of Jamon in this tapa dish. That's how they use the very last bits of the Jamon leg, in soups and other dishes.

 

Sourdough rye toast and 2 last Spanish tomatoes grated for pan con tomate.

 

Last day in Aracena. Cheese tasting at a cheese shop, also owned by the cheesemaker herself. All cheeses come from here in the Sierra.

 

Lunch restaurant is near the bus station (off to Sevilla shortly). We ate here only the other day. They do eat green tomatoes. This small plate was brought to us as soon as we ordered the beer.

 

Top notch Jamon again, of course.

 

A piece of crispy fried Iberico fat on top of the meat. The same fat I used to make Schmalz in photo above.

 

Looks like beef but tastes like 100% Iberico acorn-fed pork.

@BonVivant--  That all looks awesome

 

Thanks, Paul. Spain is currently the second most visited country in.the.world. Not only that, Spain also overtakes France in gastro tourism!

Decided to try something we've never tried from our Indian cookbook I've posted pictures from many times.

 

It's supposed to be a boondi curry. But we don't have a  boondi jahara - so we used a spoon w/ holes from a spherification kit.  Alas the boondi are not spheres, but they still taste good.  It's fried chickpea batter.

 

The sauce is tomato, onion (minced and sliced), turmeric (of course - look at the color), cumin, cilantro, yogurt, and cayenne.

 

We didn't put the boondi in the sauce until it was at the table,  wanted to make sure they were as crisp as possible.  This took a while to make but was really quite tasty.

 

 

Keeps on with the Indian cuisine can look strange vibe 😉

Dinner out at a favorite neighborhood joint the other night was chili dogs and club sandwiches.  I can never finish a club sandwich, so I bring it home and re-purpose it into a salad or another sandwich.  Today was sandwich.  If you are offended for some bizarre reason by the combination of house roasted turkey and lovely house carved ham, please avoid looking😁:

Still drooling.....

 

Ugh, 4 hours of dental/periodontal surgery on Tuesday.  I look like someone hit me with a baseball bat on the left side of my face 😂

 

I'm making beans, rice and some kind of enchilada something for dinner, though.  I'm so hungry.  I'll chew little tiny bites, I swear

Oh, dear!  I'm so sorry and I sympathize completely.  I hate all things dental.  I'd honestly rather have another gastric bypass or hysterectomy than dental/periodontal surgery.  Let Ronnie spoil you and eat what you can.  Hugs!  When I'm recovering from something and can't eat, I always make grandiose plans of what I plan to cook when I'm recovered.  Maybe that will help.
