For SIL's last meal here we went out to Wye Oak Tavern, a Voltaggio restaurant in a de-consecrated abbey.

 

Instead of getting mains we dined on appetizers and sides. Started with coddies - salted cod brandade, cauliflower tartar sauce, cauliflower giardiniera (not pictured)

 

Rest of the meal, from top left:

 

House salad - iceberg lettuce, carrot vinaigrette, lime yogurt, chickpea crunch

Shells & cheese - toasted panko, aged cheddar, chives

Spiced sweet potatoes - pomegranate molasses, lime yogurt

Broccoli rabe - broccoli chimichurri, crushed red pepper, crispy garlic

Crab cake - shishito emulsion, blue corn tortilla, buttermilk lime crema

Smoked beet pastrami - gruyere cheese funnel cake, thousand island dressing

Macaroni - dry aged beef bolognese, fontina fondue

 

My favorites were the sweet potato and broccoli rabe. After a little walking around we stopped for a flight of ice cream - roasted strawberry, caramel crunch, butter pecan, and honey graham.

It's one of mine too, I've often picked four starters I want to eat before getting down to the main courses on a menu

II havent seen these in quite a while .

 

probably not for getting Cooking Shows, as the Locals seem to have cooking down pat.


Yeah … as @Ddanno said: terrestrial TV (and/or radio) reception. Unlikely to be useful anymore, but who knows ..!?

Charlie had dental work yesterday and the dentist put him on a soft food diet for the next couple of weeks.  I decided to make Italian Wedding Soup for dinner. It isn't something you might think of making in the middle of August but the meat balls are small and soft, plus It's nutritional and tasty.

TJ's Fz Naan-ish , generic ( USA ) swiss .  its been in the crisper a while , ' extra flavor '

30 second Micro.  Naan starts frozen.  cheese refig.  I like this swiss for sadwiches :  melt to a very nice ' chew ' 

 

and is a bit nutty .

IMG_7407.thumb.jpeg.26ed544d8c748fc4c80071ad6aa25af8.jpeg

 

Mise on top.

 

what ever you want to call this , its delicious and now in the regular rotation .  N.B. the bit of jus from the mise.  soaks in nicely 

 

w this type of bread .  all ingredients very readily available.  seasoning on the Mise might change , but not by much.

Modela with lime juice and a salt rim is one of my favourites. It really hits the spot.

I haven't been posting many of my meals recently. The weather has been so hot I have no appetite. Also, when I have eaten something more substantial, it's been a dish I've posted here a hundred times before, so not so interesting.

Such was the case with dinner  last night, but I did finish off the meal with some of my favourite ice cream.

Durian ice cream. Food of the gods!

I suppose it doesn't smell SO bad, but I don't find the smell SO bad in the first place. I think it's one of those things that some people are more sensitive to than others. I'll eat it fresh or frozen.

I found it really difficult to separate the smell from the taste once my brain knew it was going into my mouth. I've tried it a few times hoping to get over it, but no joy. Maybe it's another coriander for me 😄

Yeah. I get that. I have friends here who will refuse to walk down certain streets because they contain fruit shops selling durian. I have no problem with coriander or asparagus pee, either. But other smells drive me mad.
