Lobster Green Curry from Shaya was a treat!

I upgraded my fish share this week and got a live spiny lobster caught by this guy:

I par-cooked it as soon as I got home, put the meat in the fridge, shells in the freezer and pulled them out to make the lobster stock this morning:

I've got a lot of stock leftover so I can make this again with shrimp or crab.

Here's the curry at the end of cooking when I've put the lobster in to finish cooking.

Lunch is going to be a party at my house, with favorite nostalgia foods. I'm celebrating being on the right side of the dirt after my bad fall  and in no way ready to leave the house yet. One friend has a birthday tomorrow and we're getting a chocolate cake for her. That same friend makes the absolute best matzoh ball soup on the planet, so she's going all out for poor pathetic me and bringing a pot of it. We'll have bagels and lox too. Another friend isn't much of a cook, but she is a party unto herself and my husband is going to make us Mexican Coffees, her favorite alcoholic drink, to have with the cake. It'll all be downhill from there, with me being cranky, my husband doing the cooking, which means a lot of very basic pasta dishes and grilled cheese sandwiches, hours of PT, podcasts, pot gummies and pizza. Things could be worse, of course.

Soft tacos using leftover grilled Jerk chicken (with cilantro, pickled red onions and a healthy dollop of the Jerk sauce from the marinade).  They look pale as this is before they made it to the grill.

It's been in the 80s so we wanted a light lunch.  Grilled salmon and endive tossed in EVOO with S&P. A bit of canned whole cranberries with chipotle as a dipping sauce.  Doesn't get any simpler than that. 

 

I had originally planned to grill the endive but  it was so fresh I went the au natural route.  I hadn't seen in quite awhile down here in MX so it was a real treat....sweet and bitter at same time.

It was a cool sort of a day here so I didn’t mind turning the oven on to bake pizza. A quick one time rise as we were hungry. I made half Italian sausage and half ham and pineapple. I hadn’t had a ham and pineapple pizza forever, but they are making a come back down here. I know it would be outrageous for Italians to have this combo but we do what we must.

Had leftover rice, so made a favourite from hubby's family's recipes. His Mom never liked rice as a veg, only in rice pudding. dad and hubby loved rice in any form.
Mixed rice in with a couple of eggs, chili flakes and made an omelet. Cheddar cheese sauce ladled over and sprinkled with chili flakes.

I made Calrose rice yesterday for a Mexican style casserole.

This morning I had some of the rice for breakfast with just the addition of Melinda's Peri Peri sauce.  Good.

Crab rolls and fries.  The balance of the jumbo lump crab was made into a salad and piled into TJ’s French brioche top sliced buns.  Buns were griddled with a little butter to brown the sides, a small layer of shredded lettuce was added, followed by the crab salad mixture. Mc Cain fries and a dipping sauce of mayo/seafood cocktail on the side. Delicious!

Looks awesome.

 

Just a quick shout-out to @Shelby - these are what we call "Fries that are not lonely!"

Improvised lunch with fried paneer and parboiled green beans, topped with fermented radish. Sauce was lemongrass, curry leaves, chilies, garlic, ginger, and turmeric, with a splash of fish sauce and coconut milk. Another good batch of paneer - Gopi brand.

Pork loin sandwiches in the style of porchetta.  Sautéed fennel, onion, garlic, fennel seeds , rosemary and a splash of Marsala; alternated with thinly sliced pork loin . Popped in a low oven wrapped in foil for five minutes or so, we had an arugula salad on the side. And for a little treat, chocolate pots de créme for dessert.

I got some little 4" red abalone from Cultured Abalone Farm out of Santa Barbara for my fish share this week. I've never prepped or cooked them before and the only time I've ever seen it done, they were really big ones that a friend of a friend dove for back in the day.  I decided to try my hand with two of them, per the recipe I want to use but skipping the sauce, etc. so I could see if I'm on the right track.  Just spooned some preserved lemon aioli on the plate for dipping and tried them out - there's one piece missing already!

Why yes, I am on the right track - they are a delicious treat!

This is the recipe I have planned, as shown in this video, which I followed for cleaning and prepping them:

Im pleased to see abalone available.

 

they are exceptionally delicious , simply made.

 

hope you can get some more.

I agree on the simplicity. I think I might just pan fry the rest of them like this rather than doing anything fancier! 
These are farmed, not wild caught and take 3-4 years to reach this 4” size so they are rather expensive but it’s nice they are available.

The above looks delicious @blue_dolphin. I love mussels, thanks for the link. 
We had lunch out today at a country ‘pub’ ( hotel ). It was a pleasantly warm day and we enjoyed eating outside. Meal was pork belly (sous vide, then grilled, I guess ) rocket salad with apple & walnuts, red cabbage and puréed celeriac.

@blue_dolphin  First time we had abalone was in early 80s at a small restaurant in Big Bear Lake CA when on vacation.  It was super tender and tasty.  We re-routed that driving trip so we could go back there just for the abalone.  

 

After that whenever we saw abalone on a menu anywhere, we'd order it.  Usually a huge disappointment, chew factor ranged from rubber bands to shoe leather.  We gave up and have never ordered it again.  Sigh.  

 

It takes a special talent to cook them properly.  Yours look wonderful!

 

Have same issue with octopus; 'pulpo' is on many menus in MX and is always melt in mouth delicious.  But anytime we try it in US, it's a chew fest.
