Lunch 2020

[chefmd]

Shrimp and grits.  Grits were cooked in instant pot with caramelized onions which made color darker.

[Steve Irby]

I had some leftover pulled pork that I incorporated into tamales.  I used the rendered fat and jelly from the roasting pan in the masa.  They were really tasty coming right out of the steamer.

 

[BonVivant]

Pseudo "Khao Soi" soup with moked tofu.

 

 

Sourdough soldiers, SV yolks.

 

First chive flowers

[kayb]

Supporting local restaurants:

 

 

Meat and three -- meat loaf, cream cheese corn, double order of fruit salad.

[MokaPot]

Corkscrew pasta, dried tomatoes, kalamata olives, block of feta cheese, and balsamic vinegar.

[weinoo]

 

Grilled cheese (Comte!) and bacon (Father's!) sandwiches.

[MokaPot]

Tofu salad with a sauce / dressing made of gochujang & Laoganma spicy chili crisp.

[Anna N]

 

Chicken pesto scramble. Surprisingly good. Surprisingly easy. Another way to repurpose rotisserie chicken.

I love Lao Gan Ma!  There is shortage of It recently in my local Asian groceries.

[chefmd]

I did not hoard toilet paper.  But I did hoard potatoes, carrots, cabbage and now have to cook with those a lot.  Potatoes and carrots curry with shrimp and mushrooms.

[Kim Shook]

Cheese stick, mortadella, salami, “cheater” sweet dill pickles, Castelvetrano olives, and Keebler Toasteds onion crackers trying to pass as wheat.  There was one sleeve of the onions in a 2-sleeve wheat box. 😄

No pistachios - which I really don't mind, but peppercorns - which I do.  I try to ignore them now, but when I was a little girl I would laboriously pick them out of each slice before eating my sandwich.  The worst was when my mom would make salami and mortadella sandwiches and both would have peppercorns.  😄

Really more of a snack, but this was my lunch today.

 

Mock Garlic Toast ~ I use Frigo brand Original String Cheese.

 

Melted in a bit of hot oil and seasoned with garlic powder, parsley flakes and parmesan cheese.

How did I not know about this?  I buy the light string cheese.  Do you think that will work?

I haven’t tried it with the light, so can’t say. But I have tried other brands and I have had the best success with the Frigo brand.

Leftover tarte flambée, carrot salad with preserved lemon, both from Dinner in French, asparagus and fresh tomato

Plenty in mine!

 

 

Seriously though, imported foods are becoming difficult to find, for obvious reasons. While there is no shortage of locally produced (i.e. China) items, I cannot get my usual cheddar cheese (imported from Ireland) and I've noticed that Japanese Kewpie mayonaisse is gone (not that I ever buy it).

Thankfully my Kewpie mayonnaise arrived today.  I have it on amazon subscribe and save.

Went to my favorite little mexican grocery today.. I have been calling them since the quarantine started.  Someone finally picked up, he it was there first day back! 

 

I got their chilaquiles and some grocery to go... 

 

Very exciting for the chorizo:

 

 

This is what i texted my wife when she asked, where I was.  I snuck off and brought this back

 

 

Here are some groceries.. I love their posole.. Their hominy are always awesome too, i asked today,  they showed me where they kept them.. inside some bucket that you have to open, after all these years, i finally asked. 

 

Some fun stuff, queso hebra, chile arbol, guajilo and ancho.  And then not photographed, 10 little pollito lollipops that I gave out. all but one.

You are killing me. it is all here I just can't get at it. Do post the meals so I can cry in my corner

[Kim Shook]

Robird – bought the Frigo yesterday.  After my last go round with light cheese sticks (put on pizza and they didn’t melt), I figured I’d follow your directions.  Should be doing that soon!

Mortadella and ham on toasted ATK Sandwich bread, chips and salsa and a gorgeous pear.

[rotuts]

@Kim Shook 

 

I caan see the Mortadella is staking out at me.

 

I dont mind

 

Ive made a note

[weinoo]

One of Significant Eater's favorite things to eat...

 

 

Leftover poussin and potatoes reheated in the steam girl. An avocado/confit tomatoes/Hatch Valley salsa (TJ's!) thing. House pickled red onions. Easy enough to eat when on computer meetings all day.
