@Pete Fred – that is exactly the kind of Croque Monsieur that I love in restaurants and would love to make myself.  Would you share your recipe/method, please! 

 

Added to RecipeGullet. Bon courage!

The mushroom agnolotti in mushroom sauce gets my top vote.

 

Mine too!  Bought pasta making kit a few years back but we have never really got into the habit.  @Kim Shook you have inspired me to get the boxes down and have a try at something along the lines of those mushroom parcels….

Extra spiced Nuris. Eaten over the sink, like a rat.

 

 

Man, compression didn't do that image any favors.

You've got some pretty special rats - I’ve never seen one use chopsticks!

[blue_dolphin]

Leftover, re-heated Lasagna with Gochugaru Oil from Korean American

[johnnyd]

Yellowfin Tuna for Lunch, this time with leftover Yam Nua dressing

 

[Kim Shook]

If anyone wants any of the recipes from my pasta class, I’ll be glad to put them in my own words and post them. 

 

Not feeling great today and needing some culinary TLC:

Ham, salami, and American cheese on toast and Lipton chicken noodle soup. 

[BonVivant]

Slowly returning to my usual routine. Slowly. There's still the rest of Mexico photos to sort but can't deal with that during the week.

 

Feels a bit strange not eating corn tortillas all day long. But I'm most happy to be eating cheese again. 16 month old Comte and 3 smelly ones.

 

This blob has some quark, horseradish, prawn roe and North Sea shrimp.

 

Made a pot of broth with the shrimp shells

 

Sardines in chipotle sauce (bought in Mexico). Not spicy at all and the quality of the fish is inferior to Portuguese/Spanish/Greek/Moroccan/Croatian etc.

 

 

Love visiting Mexico but also love to be home again.

I‘d also love to visit Mexico, but I‘d surely love to visit your home to enjoy this spread, too 🤗

Lunch today was a Great Northern bean salad, Italian tuna, fennel, shallots, capers  and black olives. A spritz of lemon, lemon zest plus a vinaigrette were the dressings.  Ciabatta on the side was a welcome addition.

Then I would make sure that we would not run out of beer 🍻

 

Thanks! There are challenges travelling in Mexico but for us it's mostly logistics. I love it a little bit more after every trip.

Lunch today was a farro/barley pilaf with mushrooms and  finely diced veggies.

We also had duck legs with the pilaf which was a tasty accompaniment.

[C. sapidus]

Clean-out-the-fridge fried rice, with arroz verde, asparagus, bacon, escabeche sauce, ginger, garlic, jalapeno, half a white onion, fish sauce, egg, and cilantro.

 

Should’ve let the rice dry out a bit on the counter before it hit the wok. But hey, tasted good and I cleared plenty of space in the fridge.

 

[Kim Shook]

@C. sapidus - I can't tell you how happy it makes me to open a topic and see your beautiful swimmer!  

 

Lunch was leftovers from dinner a couple of nights ago:

Pork schnitzel turned into pork Parm 😄, with fettucine Alfredo and a salad.

@Kim Shook Lipton’s noodle soup is an absolute comfort food for me. I remember when they made “giggle noodle soup”. I wish it wasn’t discontinued. 
 

 Now I want to make Lipton’s soup and it’s verging on Friday during lent. 
 
I suppose I’ve done worse things.

Oh yes the box of Liptons chicken noodle was always in the house. We didn't consider that "meat" re religious practice. Pretty salty as I recall so we used more water and added some of the really thin egg noodles Alte Oma made weekly. We dried each noodle batch and kept them in a special tin.

Love the combination of feta and beets - they were made for each other!

Ventresca tuna with herby white beans, cherry tomatoes, shallot with olive oil and white balsamic. meyer lemon

Post-church lunch yesterday at our favorite lunch counter.  Mr. Kim’s corned beef on rye and their housemade beef vegetable soup:

 

My chicken and rice soup (also housemade):

 

My chicken salad sandwich:

We joked that I basically had two servings of chicken and carbs. 

 

Lunch today was leftovers from Mexican out last night:

One whole beef burrito and about half of the rice.  The CSO does such a great job on leftovers. 

[Kerala]

I didn't fancy faffing about too much, so just what was to hand.

Pear, ham, century egg, leaves.

The egg made it all so satisfying.

[OlyveOyl]

Expecting to be snowed in today, I decided to make our corned beef for lunch. Mashed potatoes, cabbage and scallions was our side for the CB.

The corned beef was from Aldi and it did not disappoint, it was very moist and tender.  Cooked in the Instant pot, for about 22 minutes per pound, finished temperature was just over 200*. Looking forward to sandwiches tomorrow.

[blue_dolphin]

Hominy with Seared Chicken Thighs, Radish Salad + Smoked Yogurt from Grist with sautéed baby kale with garlic, lemon confit and red chile.

I cooked up some of the Rancho Gordo hominy we got in our recent bean club box and decided to try some non-pozole recipes.  In this one, the chicken is first browned on the skin side, then roasted atop the cooked hominy so it's seasoned by the drippings much like other recipes that roast chicken on potatoes or rice, etc.  Very quick and tasty.

Open sandwich with yesterday's lamb, sliced and fried, with mayo, radish and chilli/garlic garnish on toasted bread.

Now that's an open sandwich!

[C. sapidus]

Leftovers for lunch: shrimp patia, cumin rice, and cucumber riata.

 

Truffled hot sauce and fish sauce gave the patia some pop, and a squeeze of lemon brightened up the raita. Live and learn.
