Lamb ragu with cavatelli.  The sauce includes preserved lemon, oil cured olives and capers.  The salad was dressed with a garlicky olive oil and sherry vinaigrette.

Here's a photo of Willow doing a little QA\QC on the lettuce.  First cat we've had that has a thing for lettuce.

New Orleans style roast beef faux-boy's.  I had some delicious leftover roast beef and gravy but no Leidenheimer bread so hot dogs buns were pressed into service.    Dressed with lettuce, tomatoes, onion and a swipe of mayo with horseradish.  Nice  and sloppy just like in the Big Easy.  And since your stomach doesn't know it's full till you have dessert I had a little bread pudding to finish.  The pudding was made with TJ's Pumpkin Brioche.

I had to look up but even without it I would be happy to eat one of your roast beef faux-boys.

I had arranged a friend to give our 1/4 Chinese grandson Mandarin lessons as I only speak Cantonese and Toisanese.

After the lesson, he wanted to cook more noodles. I had made Yaki Udon for our supper the other night, and he wanted to cook some himself.

Started by cooking the Chinese sausages, then added the veg and some siu yook (from my freezer). Once done, he put all that onto a plate, cleaned the wok, then stir-fried the udon noodles. Added oyster sauce, light soy, then mixed in the veg and meat. He was quite pleased with the results. We had lunch with his teacher, a former student of mine from China who is now the coordinator of International Students at our local university. I used to always cook extra and feed her while she was a homesick student far from home.

My cousin was in town for a few days, and wanted to have a burger at Corner Bistro, so I met him in Greenwich Village and we did...

 

image.thumb.jpeg.de6ec4a54e58437553fc0368a3f69823.jpeg

 

I even took a picture, barely showing the Bistro burger, which is damn good.  We couldn't decide on tater tots or French fries, so we got both - and these are some of the best around. The salad was unnecessary.  

 

A plain burger here is $11, while the bistro burger (bacon, cheese, etc.) clocks in at $15, a veritable bargain these days.

I think they went to paper/plastic as many places did for the Pandemic thing = probably bought a million of them.

I do see real plates looking at pre-pandemic pictures.

@kayb – that soup looks fantastic.  I’m dying for some tomato based vegetable soup and that would be perfect.

 

I am just blown away at the lunches y’all are having. 

 

Lunch out on Sunday with Mr. Kim and Jessica cheeseburgers and fries:

Just good, classic hamburger stand food from a place open since 1961.

Hummus with aubergines from Falastin, pita from Shaya

That looks great - aubergines are simply salted, drained and fried ? Are those walnuts ?

Yes, that's it.  After frying, they're tossed with walnuts, parsley, mint, Aleppo pepper and lemon juice and spooned over the hummus.

I'm on a mini-break with friends in Praia de Gale near Albufeira.

IMG_20221027_151141.thumb.jpg.9651b0e6853db12535963c478a3722ac.jpg Lunch was at  beach shack bar. IMG_20221027_150534.thumb.jpg.aaab7bf458dc5f8e58d2df220691bd16.jpgIMG_20221027_182902.thumb.jpg.821285ca0340b0774b451b25b93f0328.jpg

Big bowl of mussels for starters. Shared with the little boy. IMG_20221027_143544.thumb.jpg.f146eca25a2b1c39f238bcd8ade2cc0f.jpg

I ordered the grilled sardines. Not available. The octopus? Finished. Cod fish!? Also unavailable. The sea bass was available, and they brought the last 2 sardines as well! Perfectly grilled and seasoned. Both the mussels and the fish were excellent, but a huge meal, washed down with a carafe of vinho verde.  And a Pinhais-worthy view.

Scrambled Red Shakshuka and Jerusalem Sesame Bread (K'ak Al Quds) both from Falastin

Instead of cracking whole eggs into the sauce, they get scrambled, poured into the sauce, folded gently and cooked covered on the stovetop for 4 min.  A nice option vs watching the yolks overcook while waiting for the whites to be done.

Move the whites around with a chopstick while the yolks cook - preferably at a med-high heat.  Should achieve a cooked white and a runny yolk.

This looks so good. I thought I might have to buy the book just to get this recipe. But I googled instead and found something which is very close here. (The video that accompanies this recipe is quite amusing.)

Will I make it? We will see.

Good find!  It was very good. I’m kind of sorry I didn’t make extra of the sauce as they suggested.

Roasted grouper with a coriander crust (Samak mashed dil cozbara w al lemon) from Falastin served over puréed harissa creamed cauliflower from I Dream of Dinner.

The recipe calls for cod but I had grouper in the freezer so....grouper it was.

That's a tahini sauce on top of the fish. Also, "coriander crust" might imply something crisp but not in this case.  The fresh coriander gets cooked in olive oil with garlic and spices before getting spread over the fish, topped with lemon slices and cooked in the oven. The flavor is quite nice but I wouldn't call it a crust.

Mussels in (spicy) vinegar, "escabeche". The beautiful colour comes from paprika.

Tins of those are a must in my pantry for my favorite quick pasta!

Made the Green Shakshuka from Falastin and since the eggs cook on the stovetop, I tried this trick.  I also soft boiled an egg because I didn't want to be deprived of a runny yolk...

but it worked so I got 2 runny yolks!

Needed to use the red pepper up... I like Indian potato dishes.   So I found this one, potatoes with red pepper and spices:

 

20221007_124348.thumb.jpg.30b75a9cc824ce911b23c68629ee44de.jpg

 

I just love fried potatoes (were steamed first) with cumin, coriander, fenugreek leaves, and pepper.

 

My copy of 1000 Indian Recipes arrived today.  It is a rather large book...which recipe is this one?  It will be interesting how close my attempt came to the actual recipe.
