Hamachi Tiradito - delicate slices of yellowtail with orange supremes in Ajo Verde sauce with wasabi mayo. Inspired by Japonesa, a Japanese-Peruvian fusion restaurant in Manila, Philippines. I was quite pleased with how this came out. The orange supremes are hard to see, but they are in between each piece of fish.

Bay scallops, roasted chile Poblano rajas, and long beans with shallot, garlic, sliced Holland chiles, and coconut milk. Seasonings included cilantro, cayenne, and garam masala.

Black Truffle and Mushroom Pizza, and Sausage & Giardiniera Pizza - little 10" pizzas for lunch.

A hot lunch for a cold day.  Smoked turkey, chicken and sausage in an okra gumbo base that included some dressed crabs.   All the ingredients were freezer forage.  Served over a medium grain rice from Crowley LA.

Lunch was a slice of Mrs. C's delicious apple crumble pie

I did a 7-11 shift at the hospital (volunteering) this morning and was starving when I came home. 

Quick and easy - toasted cinnamon raisin bread with old/sharp cheddar. Hit the spot. Now I just have to figure out what happened to the 4 servings of jambalaya that I froze on New Years Day. My husband and I have both looked and cant find it but I KNOW it's in there. After some lunch, I will have another look!

Mortadella, homemade ricotta, pistachio pesto on an olive roll.

Raspberry pastry slice, frangipane, almonds.

[Steve Irby]

This would have been a fairly healthy salad except I ate four slices of mortadella while I was preparing it!

Mortadella counts as tasty ' fibre '

[OlyveOyl]

Mapo tofu from a Sichuan restaurant, sesame scallion roll with a nod to the NYT. This had scallion, sesame oil and chili crisp as the filling, a little sesame oil in the dough.

Chocolate dessert, chocolate flakes, candied hazelnuts and raspberries.

This bowl of beige is the Oyster Pan Roast with Yuzu Kosho Cream and Spicy Cornmeal Biscuits from Sunlight & Breadcrumbs by Renee Erickson.

I tried my best to make it look appealing but it’s still a bowl of beige, however delicious.  And the combination of cream, yuzu kosho and oyster liquor is pretty delicious!
Here are the biscuits on their own:

I’ll never be a biscuit maven but these weren’t  bad and should provide me with a few smallish breakfast sandwiches.

To change khaki to beige for better alliteration even though it looks the same (log)
