Leftovers from last night's breakfast for dinner.  For lunch.  

An Everlasting Meal — oh wait, Tamar Adler already wrote the book. 😂

[Duvel]

Found some freezer gold - three large braised oxtails, which were swiftly transformed into oxtail ragu pasta ... accompanied by some toasts with hummus and herring/red beet salad topping.

Mushrooms which were about to go mushy roasted with some garlic and some butter and served over lightly toasted bread.  
 

 

not pretty but tasty. 

[Smithy]

I am continually amazed at how well mushrooms that are about to go soft / off respond to roasting. Nice save, Anna.

In a day or so, straight Campari sounds like a plan.   Remember to order oranges.

Where did you get these dumplings?  Before this whole virus thing, I used to go down to Manhattan Chinatown to Lan Zhou Homemade Noodle and pick up a frozen bag of 50 dumplings... their dumplings (not soup dumplings) are amazing!

I purchased these in the before time... At the super market on Mott and Grand, across from like golden steamer, in their frozen food section... I should have stocked up on dumplings.. I am tempted to hit up chinatown but, everytime I have driven by in my car on the way to my job, there is a line of like 25 old ladies waiting.  It's hard enough to navigate under normal circumstances.. I am trying to remember that chinese Food delivery service out of flushing but can't seem to remember..

Composed salad with whatever I had in the fridge.  Potatoes, olives, tuna, tomatoes, feta, eggs, parsley, some random Greek dressing.  DH called it  Salad Niçoise, bless his heart

[BKEats]

Today was my first day off in over a month... Like first time not leaving my house at 8 am and returning somewhere around 8 to midnight..  So, of course I woke up at 6 am.. 

 

 

Before the nap, I made lobster rolls, or lobster salad on brioche with bacon and arugula... 

 

Paired it with salt and vinegar potato chips, a Suarez Crispy Little and a chickpea salad with grilled squid, cherry tomatoes and fennel pesto.  The pesto was pistachios, fennel tops, lemon, garlic, red pepper, sherry vinegar... 

 

 

Brioche:

 

Lobster salad.. this had poached lobster, tarragon, capers, red onion, cumin, lemon, mayo, creme friache, cayenne, salt, pepper, lime juice and 1/4 clove of garlic,.  I had that thing that good things have where you are like, does this have cumin in it?  I try to go for the perfect balance on things, sometimes.. Sometimes, I like to hit you over the head with something but, this had that balance that just had everything swimming around your face.

Lots of flavor going on. Appealing.  I have an issue with bacon and lobster because I adore the simple sweetness of the beast. Of course it is going to take me a while to get the image of my son standing in a commercial dumpster shoveling fake butter covered lobster carcasses as he manned a lobster festival. As a youngster it was his favorite food. He is still recovering from the dumpster experience!

When time doesn't fly one makes pancakes.

With poppy seeds.

 

 

With chia seeds and kefir.

 

 

[heidih]

@BonVivant Thank you! I saw poppy seeds somewhere in this hellhole. Probably 20 years old but....
