What have you had for lunch lately?

[emilymh2018]

Made the "Sauteed Cod With Lentils" recipe from the Gourmet Today cookbook. Did not have cod, so I substituted rainbow trout. Turned out pretty good.

We had ham sandwiches today. I steamed the ham, toasted the buns, topped the ham with some Arby's sauce. Hit the spot...

We had a late breakfast/brunch of hash, English muffins and poached eggs so no lunch per se.

I made a Caesar's Salad (store bought kit) and surrounded it with things I grabbed from the fridge and pantry...hb egg, tuna salad, marinated artichoke hearts, tomatoes, cheese, strawberries and some pickled asparagus...DH had some olives too and I had some crackers. Perfect for a warm summer day.

Avocado Toast.

I made a late lunch today - an omelette, to use up those 2 Numex peppers that had bad tips on them, then I also cut up the largest of the 2 Pumpkin Spice Jalapeños, figuring that would add more heat to it. However, after tasting small pieces of the veins, and getting no heat, I chewed up a half of that jalapeño, and I didn't get even a hint of heat! I only got a very slight bit of heat from all of the peppers in the omelette, and they were still good.

I cooked the eggs most of the way, then put some Monterey jack cheese on it, and covered it, and let it melt, off heat. by pepperhead212, on Flickr

We had tuna salad surrounded by sliced tomatoes, and assorted crackers. It's hotter than Hades here, so we are eating cold food!

I grated a few of the hanging tomatoes to make the traditional smeared tomato with a hint of garlic, olive oil, and salt. We also had cantaloupe with speck.

Saturday afternoon I had an iceberg lettuce and baby spinach (the leaves are so big I started calling it Baby Huey spinach) with chopped tomato and honey mustrd dressing. Yesterday I had the same salad with buttermilk ranch dressing.

A single serving of French onion soup based on this video from my hero.

My grandmother always said, "If you have an onion, you have dinner." Beef broth was canned up in pints.

It’s true!

The smell of an onion frying is a comforting promise of good things to come!

In my grandmother’s kitchen it was usually a skillet filled with fried onions and potatoes.

Today's lunch will be (l/o) Rot chicken, transformed into Chicken Salad! Along the lines of Martha Stewart's Roasted Chicken Salad Recipe - but using a lot less of everything. Gotta save some of the chicken for other quick meals!

Mock King Crab with butter, a dressing & lettuce. On some great bread! which also made great toast this morning.

I had a whistle pig for lunch today. That's a 3oz hot dog split and stuffed with American cheese, wrapped in 2 slices of bacon, grilled to perfection, then placed in a toasted sausage roll.

That triggered a flashback to Page’s Whistle Pig!

Sadly, it’s gone now.

I didn't know you were from Niagara Falls! I spent the first 28 (miserable) yeas of my life there. Then I moved on to bigger and better things. I went back in 2018 for two years to take care of my father. Nothing much changed except Page's had changed hands twice but still couldn't stay in business, there was some guy with a push cart selling whistle pigs in the Pine Plaza parking lot, LaSalle high school became a Walmart (People laugh when I tell them I went to high school at Walmart) and most of the 'good' stores are in LaSalle now. I hated that place in the 70s and I still hate it today!

I lived in an old high rise on Rainbow Blvd. for a few years in the 90s. I think it has since been renovated into a boutique hotel for tourists.

I was always amazed by the poverty and the sharp divide between the haves and the have nots. I suppose that is true in many tourist/resort communities.

It was an interesting place to live and I enjoyed being able to walk to the falls.

I haven’t been back but have good memories of my time there.

You mist mean the Parkway Apartments, which is now the Parkway Condominiums. The only other buildings that could be called high rises would be the Hotel Niagara and the United Building. Niagara Falls never had much of a skyline to speak of.
