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.

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

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

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... 

49737271577_75604d90c8_z.jpg

 

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:

49737280662_05623b15f3_z.jpg

 

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!
