Lunch 2022

Soup was on the menu here as well. Picked up packages of Ramen noodles. These were vacuum packed "fresh". So handy to have on hand as they do not need refrigeration. Had a few pieces of leftover soy sauce chicken, added some bok choy, all cooked up in chicken broth with a bit of miso.

That is almost exactly what I had for lunch, too! Only difference was I used leftover roast duck.

The Sprouted Tortilla

 

Man the addition of corn sprouts ( or what ever )   really make the tortilla wholesome and earthy

@heidih  --  No/  these were at our Asian market/  Like a 2# bag for a 1$.

New to me - will keep an eye out when I can move about. Is there a corny taste? I looked online and can sprout at home but need to source best seed. So many many things to try ;)

These are SOY BEAN sprouts, as opposed to MUNG BEAN sprouts. The "heads' require more chew but so delicious. I like to stir-fry them with lots of  green onion, and some protein sometimes.

A combination from which so far I have been spared.

 

Its like mac and cheese to me. Reputation usually exceeds the execution. It reminds me of elementary school cafeteria food...which has its place.

Sadly what that brings to mind is canned asparagus and saliferous chipped beef.

Every once in a while I'll encounter a foodish smell that yanks me back to Mrs. Sneathen at the cafeteria at Lafayette Consolidated Elementary School.

Asparagus isn't part of it. She was a kind woman...generous with the pasta.

Lafayette was a patriot and I'm sure he knew how to eat.

Jessica went to a school in Salem, VA for a couple of years that served their own yeast rolls served with those little pats of butter on paper squares.  I used to volunteer in the cafeteria during grandparents' week and the cafeteria manager would call a break mid-morning when the first batch would come out of the ovens and we'd all sit down and have our fill.  Glorious!

 

Saturday lunch at a local café after delivering the shelter lunches.  I had the French dip:

Mr. Kim had the Gorgonzola and A-1 burger:

Sunday lunch:

Leftover wings from the wing cook-off done in the CSO on bake/steam at 350F.  They would have been slightly more crisp on convection, but I was afraid they would also have been drier and tougher.  They were great still.  Also some good ciabatta we got at a little market just down the street from the café the day before.

Chicken Piccata and pesto pasta.  I used the large muscle from each chicken thigh and incorporated the remainder of the thigh into another experiment.   Three thighs yielded nine ounces of meat.  The meat was really easy to pound thin and fried up beautifully.

I know @Duvel wants spaghetti, but we were celebrating last night's hard-fought 49er victory at lunch today. So...

Meatballs and sauce. Pizza. And focaccia. 

 

Now, if one were to take a piece of that focaccia, cut it in half horizontally, dip it in some of that sauce and then put a meatball (cut in half) in there, put it back together and then eat it, one would have a truly delicious sandwich, that even the very few, still extant old-school NYC Italian places might have a hard time matching.

I blitzed the last of a boozy cherry compote in the blender with some more wine  and lemon juice added. Lamb's liver has been cooked SV first. There's  a Greek meze liver dish that is marinated in red wine (and lemon juice).

Just a few things I have lying around and it's lunch.

Another lunch.

Cretan-style (sourdough rye) toast.

Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, feta and kalamata.

Memories of Santorini...

How you know it's a local place... the salad has more tomatoes, more cheese and is drenched in olive oil.
FYI, the world's 2 top olive oil producers Italy and Spain, consume on average 10.5 litres a year. Cretans consume more than 35 litres a year (!), more than anyone/population in the whole world! Olive oil is king in Cretan gastronomy.

Aubergine dip. On Santorini they eat Santorini aubergines (Solanum avigerum). This variety is only available on the pretty island (mostly in people's own gardens),  white, seedless, not bitter at all, and hardly absorbs oil.

Good Bifteki, not dry at all. Reminds me of German "Frikandellen" but I like Bifteki more when I'm in Greece, of course.

Lamb chops in Greece usually look well-done but it's tender and flavourful. If you eat meat never miss a chance to try the lamb.

I still sleep badly when I think of the earthquakes I experience in Crete! Then I look at these photos and want to go there again!

AS the crazyness continues::

 

The Vegan Mungbean Tortilla

 

Wild Ghost rice Bineshii/ RG yellow eyed's/ Mung's sprouts/ cilantro red onion/ Mama Lupee low car tortilla ( light fry in pan with oil)/ Romaine lettuce base

I like an Ortega sauce it adds just a touch of sweetness--again very wholesome
