Sorry no picture.  

 

Used white meat from a leftover Costco rotis chicken for a chicken salad sandwich.  I remembered when shopping that many moons ago I used to add halved or quartered seedless green grapes to my chicken salad (along with green onion and toasted pecans).  Served it on toasted croissants.

 

A cool and refreshing sandwich...yesterday Tucson hit 112.  Only going to 105 today.  🌡️🌡️ 🌡️🌡️

I picked up my weekly fish share around lunchtime and was in the mood for a fish sandwich so this is what happened.  
Blackened white seabass sando with yuzu kosho slaw.

From my weekly email, I learned the name of the fisher who caught my lunch and the name of their boat and that White Seabass is not a true bass but a member of the Croaker family. The largest on record was 78 pounds. Most years they reach their northern limit in Santa Barbara, but some years they venture as far as Monterey or farther north. They are highly mobile and swim hundreds of miles throughout the year, only passing through our waters for a few weeks or months in the summer.
Monterey Bay Seafood Watch recommends California White Seabass as a best choice. 
And I say they taste good!

Pumpkin soup for lunch made by my husband which was delicious.

This was lunch yesterday. I visited the restaurant which delivered my fish and soy bean dinner a few days back, but tried a different dish.

 

青椒炒田鸡饭 (qīng jiāo chǎo tián jī fàn), Green Pepper Fried Frog over rice

 

 

As you can see, it also contains red chilli for heat, whereas the milder green peppers are more a vegetable component. The particular name used for the frog here, 田鸡, literally means 'field chicken' referring to them living in paddy fields.

Had my dad over for lunch today. 
Salad with heirloom tomatoes, burrata, peaches, pistachios, cherries, basil, mint and drizzled with lemon thyme and garlic infused oil.

Leftover potato crema with shrimp, shiitake mushrooms, roasted Poblano chiles, and corn. Soup base was yellow potatoes and garlic, simmered in chicken stock and whizzed up with the immersion blender. Next time I would include the corn in the soup base.

We have a couple of monster zucchini to use up, gifts from friends. Mrs. C is making spicy zucchini bread with one, so I used the other for lunch.

 

I started out thinking al mojo de ajo, because that works with zucchini and shrimp, but it ended up a green curry with red onion, green curry paste, and a paste of cilantro, ginger, serrano, habanero, garlic, and palm sugar, plus cumin, cloves, mace, bay leaf, and black pepper for spices. Coconut milk and fish sauce, of course, and a little tamarind for sour.

 

Very, very tasty.
