It was really good.  He's got the soft shell crabs on the menu as an a la carte item and I'm seriously tempted to order again but 2 decadent meals in holy week doesn't seem right!

Yep, this one especially.  It's a relatively small, black-owned, family business specializing in catering which, of course, has disappeared so they've been doing take-out to keep the lights on.  Hope they make it!

Leftover grilled sausage, and potatoes leftover from the crawfish boil turned into crash hot potatoes. There were a couple of boiler onions, too.

Did a jump at 5:30pm, got up at 6 the next morning for another adventure. The tip of Villarrica can be seen in photo above, the snow-capped peak behind the canopy. Finally, made it to the crater of Villarrica. People for scale.

So I do like good quality Ham, but it's hard to buy in small quantities..  So I was shocked to see small steaks of high quality ham at my local upscale grocery.

 

I improvised a glaze - the ham is ~9.5 ozs, served with mashed potato and paired with a Hagafen Dry Riesling  (0% R.S.) which worked quite well.

Leberkäse, as described here ...

@rotuts Recipe is very easy.  It’s just that I used a 6 inches pan x 2 inches, lined with a round of parchment and oiled. I cooked a big zucchini with some oli, salt  and tiny bit of water, no much water left. Left to cool. I’ve beaten 6 eggs, a couple tabletsspoons grated parmigiano, 1 tablespoon of whole wheat flour, salt, half teaspoon baking powder, chopped mint and incorporated the cooked zucchini and poured in the pan.  I put the pan on a small tray because I was afraid it would spill, didn’t happen. I cooked in a regular oven at 375 for half and hour, mine is just a regular old oven. Left 10 minute in the oven turned off before unmolding. It deflated  a bit but not terribly. Simple and tasty.

Very little effort lunch. Pizza dough was in the fridge for 3-4 days, not sure. Took out mid morning to divide in two and give it a couple of folds. Let it sit one hour before stretching in the pan and let it rise.

Ventresca tuna salad. white beans,  blanched green beans, vidalia onion, tomato, sherry vinegar and olive oil.

[BonVivant]

Soft boiled eggs and parsley. Young potatoes, "essence" from the peel (in covered bowl). My spring elixir.

 

And Riesling of course.

 

The farm. The price drops half way into the (short) season. The price now (first week) is "expensive!".

 

Bornholm is known for its high quality smoked herrings, but travel is impossible at the moment so I bring Bornholm to me. High quality North Sea smoked herring:

Finishing up the 09 Cab, Duroc pork chops were on sale, so I googled for Sauce ideas and this is Garlic, Mustard, Butter/Cream sauce.  I went a bit crazy on the garlic but it's SO good.

 

Tossed a little fresh Tyme on top and it's a but excessive sauce:

 

[Kim Shook]

@patti – sausage, potatoes, and onions seem like the perfect combination.  Looks so good.

 

@BonVivant – I have to comment on your china.  It is just exquisite.
