Generally, I put a little bowl of radishes or carrot curls (remember them😄?) in the middle.  Got in a hurry this time and forgot.  

Oh yes part of the ice cold cruditee platter at fancy pants (to us) restaurants

[kayb]

Finally bought another deviled egg platter -- which has the big round thing in the middle. It's carnival glass, so I bought a carnival glass bowl to set in the center of it. I've used it for ham salad, English pea salad, or just a mix of pickles.

Curiosity got the better of me and I found this which looks so much like your platter:

 

Here.

That's so funny that someone "showcased" it.  I really like this one a lot, but I'm 99.9% sure that I found it at Dollar General!  

 

@kayb - I'd love to see that platter!  Maybe in the "Fun Stuff" thread?

All the Dave's bread repeatedly on eG has me thinking I need to try. Egg is to my liking

[Paul Bacino]

@heidih  _  My Favorite is the 21 whole grain/  I think this was Power Seed though

[rotuts]

thinking about a Tuna sandwich on 21 WG.

@rotuts--They make burger buns too.  Which I really like also.

 

Good product,  I used to get it @  WF/  but now our Walmart carries it

White Bean & Pimentón Dip from Julia Turshen's Simply Julia

The smoky flavor isn't my all time favorite with fresh vegetables but it's super quick and easy so I'll keep this recipe in mind.

Even I will not deny that it is one of the most beautiful dishes I have seen recently. Doesn’t mean I would eat it though. But I am still tempted by that book. 

[patti]

Not a pretty lunch. Smoked sausage with pepper jack. I’m really only posting because of Maggie’s eyes.

Pig Blood Soup. As featured in the Soup Topic with more info.

 

[rotuts]

Im putting this in Lunch 

 

but it was more like Breakfast ;

 

went to MarketBasket very early for SeniorHours

 

5:45 am   got a few things , including my first loaf of

 

Dave's killer Bread :   21 seed :

 

 

made a HoneyHam and Swiss  ( picked that up at the Pre-Cut cooler )

 

lettuce , tomato sliced thin ( consistency of an apple it was )  mayo dijon 

 

 

had not had a sandwich like this in one ++ years.

 

it was very tasty.  I liked the bread for this sort of thing.

I am glad you liked it. I found it so sweet I wondered why I didn’t just stuff my meat into a piece of sugarcane! 😂 perhaps the Canadian formulation is different than the US formulation? Hard to say. 
 

[rotuts]

@Anna N 

 

I completely agree with you about the sweetness.

 

I was going to mention that , then chose not to.

 

I would prefer a little less added sugar , 

 

but that's not going to happen any time soon 

 

this loaf has Total sugars : 5 g , added sugars : 5 g

 

that per slice !

 

w IndustrialBreadMakers .Dave , AgraCon , nor ConAgra

 

the bottom line is the bottom line.

 

Davemarketsitself as , you know , each slice I eat

 

adds  ( so much time ) to my life.

 

but might , because when I chewing down dave , 

 

Im not chewing down a glazed BearPaw.

 

more or less.

 

and all the seeds and stuff ?

 

I do have some dental floss 

 

wonder what a ' fresh loaf '

 

of Whole Grain , w seeds etc might be like

 

w no added sugrars

 

Id have to make hot myself 

 

which is an idea ..............

Saj bread with slow cooked haminados eggs, zaatar, olive oil, tomatoes, scallions, parsley, mint, olive oil, lemon. Grilled crisp and served with labneh and zaatar.

The traditional preparation is made with tabbouleh salad, but it makes little sense to make it especially for this, so I added its components sans bulgur.

Ouzo-limoncello as a lunch time digestif

Hmm ... that sounds like an idea. What are the proportions (and serving size / mode) ?

Depends on the sweetness level you like and that of the cello, apx equal. Simply mixed, I use a stone ice cube as to not dilute it. Though I must admit I like this preparation better with orangecello.

 

If you enjoy gin, than gin and limoncello is my preferred combination, same method. Also great mixed with soda water.

I'll try to remember that, next time I get it out.

Let me commend to you King Arthur Baking's Harvest Grains Bread. I sub sprouted wheat flour for the white whole wheat, because I misread the recipe the first time, and I also brush with egg wash and top with "Everything" bagel topping before baking. Fine stuff.

 

[patti]

Naan topped with pesto, pine nuts, shredded mozz, rotisserie chicken, and sautéed shiitake mushrooms. 
 

 

 

[BonVivant]

 We have @CantCookStillTry, now we also have CantBakeStillTry!

 

Crumpets baked in the oven (second try).

 

Radishes and cottage cheese

 

Radish-buttermilk "soup". Just the 2 ingredients made in a blender. Green paste is pureed radish leaves.

 

Scrambled eggs on toast

 

The paste (anchovies and semi-dried tomatoes in oil crushed in a mortar)
