I hope that you can get YouTube right now because I came across this and immediately thought of you.

Finally had time to make some bison mapo tofu...

 

 

With stir fried morning glory (we were in Chinatown yesterday)

 

[liuzhou]

 

Toasted sardines. Pimped the fish up with hot chilli powder and black pepper.

Another toasticular lunch. This time cheese. Irish cheddar to be precise. A luxury here.

Huevos con camarones, with olives, capers, chile serrano, pickled jalapeno, onion, tomato, and Mexican oregano

 

[KennethT]

I had some bison left over from last night so mapo tofu today

 

 

[C. sapidus]

Clean-out-the-fridge fried rice, with Mexican chorizo, bagged salad mix, garlic, ginger, chiles, crushed tomato, and fish sauce, finished with egg, cucumber and chile crisp.

Feliz Día de (México0 Independencia!!

 

Today's lunch was seared sesame crusted tuna in a flour tortilla with wasabi mayo, pickled red onions and native (not Haas) avocado.  

 

 

[Neely]

Tuna roll… canned tuna with mayo and salad in a bakery fresh white roll. 
 

[Neely]

Made a small quiche with onion and Romano cheese, added a few pecans for crunch. 
 

[OlyveOyl]

Crab cakes, slaw and a pear, chocolate hazelnut cake for dessert.

[Neely]

Lunch today was the remains of a chicken pie, salad and some ash Brie. 
 

[C. sapidus]

Saute chorizo and remove. Saute shrimp and remove. Saute bird chiles, garlic, and shallots with green beans. Add crushed tomato and spices and reduce. Return shrimp and chorizo to the pan, and simmer with half-and-half. Feta cheese. I wish we had cilantro.

 

[gulfporter]

Fresh ground pork (while I watch) and small-batch locally made Kimchi for burgers.  I buy the gochujang in US and "import" to my MXN home.  I have bought gochujang via Amazon Mexico but it's got a big markup.

Been dying to have this for a while...

 

Singapore style chicken rice.  My chilli sauce came out really good. I cooked the chicken in some master stock sv at 150F but next time I'd try 140 or 145.  Also the rice's fragrance was really good but texture was a little hard - next time needs a bit more liquid.

[liuzhou]

Traditional Moules Marinière (ie made with cider rather than wine). Unfortunately, I can't find French cider here but managed to get a Belgian lambic apple beer as mentioned here. It worked well, though not so dry as the real thing.

 

So, garlic and shallot were softened in butter, cider added followed by the green-lipped mussels then covered and left a few minutes till the mussels open then added parsley and served with crusty bagette.  The broth was excellent and mussels always are anyway! Happy mouth.

 

Vive la France!

 

 

 

[C. sapidus]

Fried rice with green beans, spinach, mushrooms, and andouille sausage. Onion, garlic, bird chiles, and fish sauce for flavor. Finished with cilantro and feta.

 

[OlyveOyl]

Chicken on rice with sautéed onions, mushrooms.  A few spoonsful of olive salad , oil cured black olives and finely diced preserved lemon joined the party.  Finished with some dry Marsala, sage and rosemary from the garden.

[Okanagancook]

@OlyveOylyour dish looks delicious with very harmonious ingredients.  I have all of them including the olives and lemons!  It is now on my menu.  Thanks.

[OlyveOyl]

So happy you will try something similar, it was really very tasty!  I failed to mention the sautéed garlic! Can’t be without that!

Zucchini, shiitake mushroom, and andouille sausage, sauteed with onion, garlic, chilies, fish sauce, and spices, and then finished with feta and cilantro.

As long as they're still catching tuna off shore, I'm going to make my now favorite lunch - seared Blue Fin belly with Japanese pickles and kkakgudi, cubed daikon kim chi

 

 

[FrogPrincesse]

Inspired by @C. sapidus, I made this delicious lunch of zucchini with mojo de ajo. So good! I added a little sprinkle of outrage of love (which seems to be Penzey’s take on tajin).
