2026 - What have you had for lunch/brunch?

[RavingLunatic]

Leek potato soup, I just used a potato smasher to squash the potatoes, no fancy electrical tool, my dishwasher wants less work.

Tri Tip sandwich with Dijon mustard

 

[dragnlaw]

Salad of tomato, scallion, h/b quail eggs, sliced l/o mild Italian sausage, beet, romaine and Ranch Dressing. Beets turned everything pink when tossed of course, LOL!

That's a dinner fork, was a big bowl.

Hot meatloaf sandwich with onion gravy

 

[Jusa]

Bagels with cream cheese, red onion, capers, smoked salmon, avocado, everything bagel seasoning, and flying fish roe. Oh my, the fish roe really put this over the top!

Nice to see another person who enjoys sardines and that's looks like a real Greek salad as well.

I had a huge beet root from my garden, so I held off in adding more vegetables to my Greek salad.

Great looking salad @RavingLunatic

Thank You, I enjoyed it, it’s a huge 12-in plate, not small.
I did follow through with a bowl of choc chip ice cream to get rid of the fishy taste.

I'm trying to empty out the refrigerator and freezer so I can clean the refrigerator and freezer, so breaded fish nuggets, potato wedges, pear slices, and two, a little less half full, 16.9oz botttles of Pepsi Zero Sugar.

Do you add a dressing? Squeeze of lemon?

I was just thinking earlier today, sometimes I do that, that I have some parsley to use up and should make some lemon sardine pasta. I like sardines.
Of course I like ice cream, too

My recipe says olive oil and red wine vinegar. I finally get to eat extra olive oil plain, I only use it for cooking which seems to neutralize all the goodness of olive oil.

Cooking doesn't nullify the nutrients in olive oil though, so no worries.

Ground beef, mushrooms, parsley, and pasta. I normally like my pasta el dente but for this dish, I like it better a bit more soft so the pasta can absorb the sauce. However, I didn’t taste the half of bottle of white wine at all.

Afterwards, I had my first homegrown cherimoya for dessert. It’s very sweet, which is much better than the fruit I purchased from 2 tropical nurseries.

Well I am assuming it was in the sauce and that you weren't drinking it, LOL???

Yaaay, you're eating again

I had BBQ wings, one with honey BBQ sauce, one with Gochujang Korean hot sauce, my family like the honey BBQ sauce, the guacamole was a hit, but I had my doubt in the beginning, I had more tomatoes because I only used 2 avocados.
I smashed everything using a potato smasher.

Still working on the chili from yesterday and bbq tossed chicken wings. Have to leave room for the fish tonight

Lunch today was...
Sardines on toasted bread
