Taking a break from the prep for a Solstice wedding at the Smokin' Tuna Cafe, lunch for me today is a glass of Chandon Blanc De Noirs and cold steamed Dungeness Crab pulled from the Bay last night. Sides of Kepie mayo, Sambal, key limes and roasted garilc aioli. Now it's time to wash up and get picking the wild rose petals for the wedding cake.

Peter, two friends and I went berry picking this morning (we came away with two flats), so you can guess what we had for lunch.

[tupac17616]

Oh. My. God.

That looks so good it should be illegal.

[BonVivant]

i think we had the same lunch! [got mine from the market]

[chardan]

Wow...

There seems to be no really polite way to say this...

I hope that pornography is legal where you live. I'd do anything to just touch that strawberry to my lips. And you obviously didn't bring enogh to share.

For shame!!

Yesterday was Canada Day. Ling and I went to Granville Island in Vancouver for a small picnic on a gorgeous sunny day. We picked up a baguette from La Baguette and some meats and pate from Oyama.

On the plate are

1. Goose and black truffle pate

2. Lamb Prosciutto

3. Goose Prosciutto

4. Carne Seca

5. Wild Boar Salami

This was our view:

Considering the food, the company, the view, the weather; It was one of the best lunches I've ever had!

[chardan]

That looks great!!

Time for me to get some lunch, it seems! ;-P

I'm glad to see you made it to Oyama, Henry. See what I mean? The place is awe-inspiring.

I made roast chicken yesterday, and the slog of leftovers has begun! I really shouldn't complain...cold chicken is one of my all-time favorite foods. Today I used some to make a composed salad, along with some romaine, cucumber, plum tomatoes, red onion and new potatoes.

Served with a homemade dressing...I made some mayo last night (nothing better with cold chicken than homemade mayo), and for the dressing I thinned it with some lemon juice and added a healthy bit of pepper.

[Megan Blocker]

Used some more of that chicken and mayo to make a warm pasta salad this afternoon...campanelle, chicken, red onion, cucumber, tomato, parsley, homemade mayo, red wine vinegar, Sriracha, salt and pepper.

ETA: And pine nuts!

Oh I miss the meats from Oyama, especially all their wonderful sausages.

I baked French bread this morning and then used one of the mini loaves to make Moe a Grilled Steak sandwich using a small beef tenderloin steak and topped it with fried onions.

And I had a cold roast turkey sandwich using the rest of the small turkey breast from last night's dinner. I know it looks plain , but it was so good with just butter, salt and pepper and wonderful crusty bread.

While watching the World Cup I had some Serrano Ham, Black Olive Spread, Artichoke Spread, a creamy lightly salted feta I bought in water, and some pickled garlic.. Ate it with a pretty french bread and a half a bottle of Pinot Noir right in front of the TV

Nice looking french bread Daniel.

I very seldom use leftovers for anything but I had some of the salmon leftover from last nights dinner so I made Moe some Salmon cakes for lunch.

[Daniel]

Ann, I almost made shrimp cakes for lunch.. Those guys look great.. Love the lemon and herb twist.. Looks really pretty.

lunch for two: pork tenderloin noodle salad and a couple glasses of light Portuguese red. didn't like this disgustingly sweet spring beer [which was given to me by the 6 pack ] so i used the last bottle to steam the pork instead.

[BonVivant]

my kind of lunch, Daniel. i always have a few packs of serrano ham, a chunk of cheese, and big fat green unpitted olives in the fridge for such lunches. glasses of pinot gricio or a crisp Portuguese vinho verde rose' wash everything down nicely.

[Daniel]

Took a bone in rib steak and marinated in garlic, lime juice and kosher salt.. Grilled and served with grilled green onions rubbed with oil and salt, queso blanco, a chipotle sauce and some cilantro..

Bite:

I also have carnitas going.. I have them cooking in Tequila, Chipotles, a little Adobo, Garlic, Apricot Juice, Cinammon, Cumin, Chili Powder, and some smoked Paprika.. They will be ready in like an hour or two.. That will be lunch reprise..

[Daniel]

Carnitas: Finished with a little brown sugar and a little cane.. It took some of the spice out and really helped it caramelize...Grilled scallions and a little diced lime rind

That looks like some good eatin', Daniel. I was just thinking about carnitas yesterday...I should make some!

[BonVivant]

rolled up goat's cheese which name i forgot. with some country granary/mixed seed bread and a few slices of jamon serrano. birds sang and played in the tree, plus a fabulous blue sky made my simple little lunch so enjoyable.

[Megan Blocker]

Rice fettucine with corn and peas (from the freezer, baby - this is pantry cookin'), soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, Sriracha, lotsa garlic, onions, tomato paste, basil, lime zest and sesame seeds.

I am now lighting a candle to dispel a bit of the garlic smell...so good while cooking, so hungry-making even when full, and therefore inconvenient.

[racheld]

Bowls of Pho, each to his own, made by DD with lightly-steamed broccoli flowers, thawed baby peas, fresh fat crisp beansprouts, sliced scallion tops, quick-cooked flat noodles, sriracha, sesame oil, soy sauce, and the BEST little wisps of fried garlic from a packet found at the Asian Market. She also got the fried shallots, but we haven't opened those yet.

Guess you could call it sort of faux pho, cause we each assembled our bowls, then ladled out the broth from a simmering pot of chicken noodles cooking for dinner. We just scooched the ladle around the baby carrots and chicken chunks and spooned up that rich golden liquid to pour over our bowls of vegetables---delicious.

Decker melon chunks, cold in the bowl, for dessert. Perfect after that double-hot soup.

I was invited to a birthday party and brought these along:

Barbequed duck and shitake mushroom rolls
