I don't usually do much for lunch, but when I saw beautiful lobak the other day, I had to make this: Savoury Tang Yuen

Rollmops with dairy

Didn't cut up the herring and add to the quark because I wanted to spread it on the bread and top with sliced roe (which was cooked SV).

Lunch on Thursday.  We didn't do a big T-day like normal - thanks messed up world.

 

I had a whole duck that I cut up the day before and made stock from the carcass and wings.

 

For lunch I made meatballs with one breast and some of the other loose meat.  Served in a tomato sauce, because seemed like a good idea :)  (It was)

We fried potatoes in the duck fat, and my wife made stuffing.

@Raamo – love the looks of those fried potatoes! 

 

We were out looking for a Xmas tree on Friday and we stopped for lunch at Five Guys:

I guess I have different criteria for hamburgers than most others because we really like Five Guys.  Their fries are excellent (like the boardwalk fries I grew up with) and we like flat smashed griddle patties. 

 

After church brunch at Sunday at our local pharmacy cafe.  Egg and sausage breakfast for me:

Greek omelet for Mr. Kim:

And we shared some pancakes:

Lunch yesterday was leftover meat sauce and pasta:

So we still have the confit duck... and we bought 10 lbs of potatoes on sale... and don't need them all to make Lefse...

 

so it's hash time!

I have not made this at home before - only had it at restaurants - it was really good.

Turns out that a roasted turkey leg yields more than three portions for dinner … now what to do with the rest ?

 

I found a pound of champignons in the fridge and some bacon cubes that were reaching their expiration date. Chopped up with onion & garlic, fried and passed with all the turkey meat through the grinder. Cooked up with a bit of wine & two cans of tomatoes to give a decent turkey mushroom bolognese, which in turn with a quick bechamel & dry lasagna plates resulted in a decent turkey lasagna.

No dinner after this

One lunch back on Santorini

A salad with some local cheese. "Chlorotyri" production on Santorini is so small it's limited to mostly home use. Made from goat's milk, creamy and is a bit sour.

Sardines and "fava"

Octopus, and "fava" again, in place of rice or something else.

As I was walking home after a Soho excursion, I decided to stop into a favorite take-out bakery, at a favorite restaurant (which was slammed, with people lined up waiting for tables)...

Brought home a chicken salad on ciabatta, as well as a Caesar salad with poached salmon, both shared.
 

Do you know that if you're a solo diner at Balthazar, they bring you a glass of Champagne on the house. Been their policy forever.

Balthazar Bakery counter has a magnetic draw. Anywhere near it I have to stop. Work orders from them once a week in rotation with other bakeries.

There was an odd order to our meals on Saturday.  Not sure if we had two late breakfasts or two lunches!  Our neighborhood Mosque was having an open house from 11-1:30 and we went.  They offered a lovely lunch with Mujadara (lentils, rice, and caramelized onions), falafel, flat bread (no pocket), hummus, and baklava) which we completely enjoyed.  We came home to trim the Christmas tree and a couple of hours later we had our planned brunch – Blueberry Croissant (basically a bread pudding):

With Benton’s bacon:

We were still trimming the tree on Sunday and had a little snack to sustain us until dinner:

Crackers, Cheddar cheese, cocktail sauce, and (store bought) crab dip and some homemade limoncello:

I haven't the slightest idea what is going on with the font/bold letters in the post.  I can't seem to correct them and they all were copied/pasted from the same document.

A late lunch/early dinner.  Chicken thigh with olives and green beans from At Home in the Kitchen.  Served over Massa Organics brown rice.

1471790033_IMG_4724(2).thumb.jpeg.26c69b2df4cab888b1912a08e09ea707.jpeg

The recipe calls for a curious 12 green beans to serve 6 people.  Perhaps they're intended as a garnish?  I dunno but I used more. Stayed fairly true to the ingredients but made quite a few modifications in the cooking procedure.  The result was good.

Looks great especially the green beans. Did they get a slight char somehow or do I finally have to throw in the towel and hit Costco for new lenses?

I don't think there was any char.  The color is likely from the pan sauce that they were cooked in.  Mine sauce came out looking a good bit darker than in the book photo....but then that's the case with much of what I cook 🙃

We don't have much for breakfast or lunch. Lots of small snack choices like ramen eggs, yogurt/granola/fruits. Cheeses/crackers. Nuts. Salads.

 

Made a pot of mixed grain last night and an enormous pot of garbanzos for roasting and some humus I'll make tonight. This sounded good with some cheese in the micro---a microwave I use maybe once a month. Nice cheese pull😀

Took a minute to figure out the cheese I used as most of the label was missing. A young cheddar, tangy and melty. Would make a nice grilled cheese. Cheese can be so mysterious. Totally bland as a snacking cheese but bloomed in flavor melted.

It looks like a bit of a dog’s dinner but it was tasty enough. Roasted vegetables over rice with some pickled ginger. The sauce did not work very well. I decided that I am not particularly fond of hoisin sauce no matter what. I am going to fool around with a few ingredients to see if I can make a sauce that I can enjoy over a rice bowl.

Nice looking slab of pecorino; not too aged and dry - would make a really nice cacio e pepe as well as your shrimp pasta.  DiPalo's? Somewhere closer to you?
