Lunch 2022

[Steve Irby]

Lunch was a  quick East meets West Soup.  The soup base was a rich chicken stock with chili paste and bamboo shoots in sesame oil over rice.  The greens were BJ's Super Salad Mix with the addition of sliced mushrooms.   I had a few leftover grilled baby back ribs that were added along with  pickled eggs.  We love Bubbies Kosher Dill Pickles and I'll add boiled eggs to the  brine as the pickles are eaten.   The briny eggs were really tasty in the soup.

I was determined by our office's resident lunch planner that it was "Super Taco Tuesday" since it was 2/2/22, so we got tacos delivered for lunch. I tried BBQ jackfruit tacos, which were missing the promised chopped peanut garnish and therefore lacking something in texture besides the little bit of shredded cabbage. They came with a side of rice and pinto beans, and the beans were really tasty (little bit of cheese melted on top). They didn't do much besides sauce the jackfruit, I think the chicken tacos that other people ordered were a better option.

I truly admire this kind of creativity. Would love a bowl of that soup.

Started a batch of bread dough last night.

First time I've used the Stretch and Fold method since the accident.

Just 2 grams of yeast in a 1000g of flour at 72% hydration.

Last baguette out of the oven just in time for lunch.

 

 

Made a pot of Stracciatella Soup using the last of my turkey broth. Love this soup.

Green asparagus & mixed seafood pajeon …

One of the few things I prefer as a leftover (sorry my bowl is such a mess - it was the preparation and eating container):

 

[gulfporter]

EZ omelet....leftover French fries (re-fried in duck fat till ultra crispy), onions, peppers, poblanos, cheese, cilantro.

Made these for a friend, and we had some for lunch as well: Pork and shrimp siu mai

Lovely ! What kind of wrapper do you use ? The color is very light for a lye-based dough ...

These were just store bought wonton wrappers. I was looking for the thinner variety but none to be had. The ingredients list did not include lye.

 

                                                         
I used these with my granddaughters yesterday to make a treat: stuffed with banana, chocolate chips and deep fried.

Yesterday's lunch was roast beef and Swiss with a ton of horseradish on some of @Shelby white bread:

[Steve Irby]

Fifty pounds of big old gooduns and good old bigguns.  Best oysters of the season.  Fat, salty and ice cold from Louisiana.  Grilled last night, raw for lunch and they'll be fried for supper.

Rice/ chicken/ beans/peppers/radish sprouts--  Mexican salsa

It's been 1 and a half days since I got back, feeling like a zombie but can't seem to break the jet lag cycle yet. For other people it takes a couple of days, for me it's around 10.

 

First lunch in Bahia Magdalena.

Ceviche of chocolata clams (my favourite clams).

 

 

Chicken fajitas

 

Freshly made corn tortillas

 

Unfortunately, the other tortilla lady is no long there. I was looking forward to eating her tortillas. Hers are bigger and thinner. She uses a big rectangular blue press. The new lady uses a standard round silver one.

Had many emotional reunion with the whales. I missed them so much. The hassle of getting to these out of the way whale watching places was worth it (not to mention the high costs). 2 whales pressed their heads together (first time for me). Another one. Blue is the side of my panga (small fishing boat), green is the water, and next are barnacle covered creatures. Tender and patient wild animals weighing between 30-40 tonnes.

The ceviche looks fantastic. I eat my body weight of cheviche when in Mexico. How do you get so close to the whales? Kayak?

[Kim Shook]

@BonVivant - take care of yourself!  Your whale pictures are amazing.  I'm overwhelmed with joy just seeing a photo!  I'm so glad you had the opportunity to do it!

 

Made a "big salad" for Mr. Kim for lunch today:

He was in heaven.  

[MaryIsobel]

Looks like the dog's breakfast, but it was my lunch. Fairly typical for me - use up some leftovers and try to get a couple of servings of veg in. Cooked beets, acorn squash, cherry tomatoes. Topped with feta and some pickled onions. Lots of black pepper and a drizzle of balsamic. It was good, no matter how it looks.

That man eats almost every vegetable almost any way he can get it.  The exception seems to be turnips.  He's truly a dream to cook for.  

[shain]

Simplified preparation of Taiwanese iron eggs - baked all night long with soy sauce, sugar, peppercorns, anise, cinnamon.

They are chewy and very flavorful.

Grilled cheese with kimchi.
