Avocado, grapefruit, cukes, purple daikon, and pink peppercorn in balsamic and lemon oil.  Basically calling for seafood but I'm working on my base layers today.

 

Eager to hear what seafood makes sense in the mix. It is a combination I appreciate.  Me - I'd add just a touch of fish sauce and avocado.

Leftover octopus

 

More duck

 

Finger-size sausages.

Making use of the mallow growing wild in the garden in a casserole with zucchini, sirene cheese, zaatar, lemon zest.

Served with slow baked potato.

Visiting my Russian cousin in LA.  Veal tongue and “herring under fur”.  My American husband has politely declined :).  She made him “fur” without the herring.  “Fur” includes layers of cooked potatoes, carrots, beets, onions with (un)healthy amount of mayo.

Interesting how some cultures are beet centric like my Aussie side. With the former SU I suppose it is the cold as cabbage is also a major player.  I'd have been game for then whole dish

Terrine I made over the weekend for lunch today

Thank you. I'm not sure where I got the idea, but I probably saw it on some blog somewhere. The flavors of the avocado and tuna marry well.

Spicy Sour Pork Noodles

 

老虎菜 (lǎo hǔ cài)

Tiger Salad

肉夹馍 (ròu jiá mò)

 

手工凉皮 (shǒu gōng liáng pí)

[BonVivant]

[Raamo]

Chicken Paprikash, 1st time I've made this.    Quite tasty:

 

 

It's basically a stew with sour cream. reminds me a bit of beef stroganoff, though that's the sour cream, it's tomatoes and red peppers + chicken.

 

 

[Owtahear]

I can't believe I forgot to take photos. 

 

I had a Spicy Beef Noodle Soup (Chongking style) at LJ Shanghai in Cleveland, OH.    YUM.   Spicy as you would expect a Sichuan noodle dish would be, sweated, but couldn't stop eating.  It was great.  Really happy with the find!

 

Also had my true love....XBL......Soup Dumplings.  A must whenever I see them on a menu.  

[suzilightning]

Black Forest ham and lacey swiss with peppadews and thinly sliced romaine on marbled rye yesterday.

 

Not sure which will be lunch...

just pulled from the oven a small mac and cheese with minced tomato and a small bowl of stuffed shells(4) topped with some of the leftover meat sauce.

[chefmd]

Back home from CA trip and cooking again.  Tuna steak, spinach, roasted tomato.

More baby octopus, as it turns out. The next day I swapped that acid with house salsa and dusted it with sumac.

Some recent lunches:

 

 

Las Cruces, New Mexico ~ ChaChi’s Green Chile Con Carne Plate (double beans, no rice)

 

 

Hatch, New Mexico ~ Sparky’s #4 Combo ~ The Almost Famous ~ 4 oz. Chile Cheese Burger with one side (Seasoned Pinto Beans)

 

 

El Paso, Texas ~ PGATour Grill, El Paso Airport ~ Chicken Quesadilla 

 

 

Galveston, Texas ~ Nick’s Kitchen & Beach Bar ~ Nick’s Shrimp Platter

[heidih]

So I have about 30 coming for lunch tomorrow. We went shopping and decided on bit low brow Stouffers veggie lasagna, garlic bread, bag salad, frozen veg egg rolls, and from the box brownies. I could do all this easily from scratch.  No time and really this crowd would not notice  the difference. Should be interesting.  All in my head...

Our ladies group at church had an afternoon tea last Sunday.  The food was a mix of purchased and homemade.  Cucumber sandwiches on pumpernickel:

 

Jessica’s Liptauer cheese on cocktail rye:

 

Fruit & dip:

 

 

Mini lemon cakes and petit fours (purchased):

 

Chocolate dipped macaroons and American scones (purchased):

 

Another lady’s Cheese Ribbon Sandwiches:

No idea what kind of cheese spreads these are, but I do know she made them.  Very good.  Palmiers (purchased):

 

Mini Jamaican meat patties:

These were purchased, but made by a local Jamaican restaurant and really delicious.  Chicken salad on mini croissants:

 

Cheese gougères:

We had way too much of some things and this time I made copious notes for next time.

@rotuts - thank you so much!  You would have been welcome, wig or no.  Our priest came with his wife and so did one of the gentlemen from our vestry.  Our small city has an amazing assortment of restaurants for a place this size: all the expected ones plus Ethiopian, Balkan, West African, Colombian, Peruvian, Persian, etc.  We are very, very lucky!
