Lunch 2025

[Smithy]

At last, the BLPT sandwich I set out to make here for dinner a couple of days ago. The supply of bacon I cooked then has dwindled in other sandwiches, salads and little snacks, but I managed to save enough for this delicacy!

 

 

It's a good way to use the heirloom tomato, too.

I went to the waffle place again for lunch.  
 

Chicken & Waffles….But Make It Fancy

Two pieces of chicken breast, covered with chili apple slaw and sweet orange marmalade, on top of a golden waffle, sitting on a bed of fresh spring mix, creamy orange ricotta, and crispy bacon bits

 

Salmon I Used To Know

A trio of savory brioche waffles topped with smoked salmon, herb caper cream cheese, and peppery arugula. Finished with roasted lemon slices and pickled onions.

Hass, Queen!

A savory vegan waffle topped with fresh spinach, olive tapenade, sliced red onion, and crisp cucumber. Roasted cherry tomatoes and creamy roasted red pepper hummus add depth, while a drizzle of balsamic and creamy avocado complete the dish.

Tinga de calabacitas: Seared zucchini with roasted tomato, chipotle, and chorizo, plus roasted garlic, white onion, and Mexican oregano, garnished with feta cheese. I've said this before but I do love tinga.

 

Rajas de chile Poblano: Roasted chile Poblano, sliced white onion, and garlic, glazed with a thyme, Mexican oregano, and bay leaf cream sauce. Another favorite.

 

The two complemented nicely.

I'm on a serious tomato-and-cheese kick right now, probably trying to cling to summer's glory for a few more days. I've consumed all the bacon I cooked a few days back, so today's lunch was an open-faced alternative. Toasted sourdough, slathered with mayonnaise and Zatarain's Creole mustard, topped with several slices of Margherita Brand Thin-sliced sandwich salami and some sliced cheddar. That went into the microwave for, oh, 25 seconds to melt the cheese and slightly melt the salami. The whole was topped with a slice from my last heirloom tomato, then a good-sized lettuce leaf.

 

 

It was messy but delicious. I probably won't want dinner beyond a salad.

 

(I must say, Amazon's price for this salami is lot more than I pay locally! I hope it isn't a sign of times to come. Maybe it's because it's a new batch? To be released in October (eG-friendly Amazon.com link).)

Italian ham on ciabatta with buffalo mozzarella, pesto, arugula, and basil.

 

[rotuts]

not new 

 

 

but exceptionally delicious for so little work :  Naan-ish AF pizza , Campari tomatoes , Fontina , Chipotle Tabasco , window green onions.

 

the Naan ( TJ's ) is from Fz , and lightly coated in EVOO  before the tomatoes and cheese are added , then straight into the AF

 

youve seen this before , and I post it now as a reminder :  the main ingredients are @ Tj's all the time.

 

delicious and satisfies a pizza craving , thus avoiding a delivery .  the second is as easy to make as the first.

 

thus saving one AF clean up !

Out for lunch at our Plaza.  

 

It is the first place we ate when we first visited here in 2007 and basically the same exact menu. 

 

French dip is always excellent, served on a local buttery bolillo. 

 

The "Camarones Francese" is shrimp salad (mayo forward) between 2 slices of bread, dipped in batter, then rolled in corn flakes and deep fried.  No idea why or how it got on a menu of a small outdoor eatery in an equally small village.  I don't recall ever seeing it elsewhere in MEX or in the US.  Or in France for that matter.

The Camarones Francese sounds like something you'd get at 3am  in Glasgow
