Happy Mother's Day to all the moms on here!

I had red lentil indian curry w/veggie brown basmati rice earlier. Then battered breaded baked onion rings, really slabs, vidalia onions with a little caesar dressing on them. Crispy and juicy.

We went to a place on the beach called Sugar Creek in Dare county for lunch. I had a salad, fried shrimp and oysters, a twice baked potato, strawberry shortcake, and ice cream. Ended up having peanut butter toast and peaches for supper.

Was taken for brunch by son - as baby was with us we went to a family style - I had the house hamburger with fries - sauce on the side. Poor waitress must have been new as she couldn't describe the house dressing very well. Turned out it was good, an aoili with relish and a tiny, tiny kick of .... probably sriracha. I had it on the side mainly because absolutely everything on the menu, which was pretty varied, but all had some sort of spicy sauce - it was pretty funny actually - don't think I've ever seen anything like it before. LOL
Then tonight - although not really very hungry - had some defrosted shrimp, last of asparagus begging to be cooked, end of the jar of Alfredo Sauce. So I cooked the spaghetti and the bottoms of the asparagus, almost at then end added the heads and shrimp, drained and added the sauce a ton of cheese.... and ate the whole thing. Think I have a tummy ache...

We ordered Greek food. I had a psilokomeni salad (Lettuce, shallots, dill, cucumbers, red onions, peppers, mizithra, croutons, red wine vinegar, oregano, and olive oil) and loukanika. DH had a chicken gyro pita platter that came with roast potatoes and French fries and a salad. We have leftovers. It was delicious.

I made a shrimp fajita with four shrimp, peppers, onions, etc…

Tortilla pear tart with whipped cream.

The tortilla crust tart will definitely appear from time to time. It is not the same as a high calorie traditional pie crust but it is a convenient 60 calorie compromise..

Spaghetti a la Carbonara (my ragu recipe, not the new “official” recipe )

Not the first time I've heard reference to spoon roast. Trouble is, I've no idea just what that is.... someone explain/describe please?

It's a top sirloin roast. That is a tasty but tough cut. 12 hours in the SV machine makes it tender.

Why wouldn't you just call it spaghetti alla ragu?

Sorry, my description is wrong anyway! Nothing like a carbonara - it’s a bolognaise. But yes, your point is taken

I'm glad for the first part and cannot help you with the second part.

Dong Po Pork. I use shoulder instead of pork belly so it's not the same but I just can't take the fat levels of belly in the traditional preparation.
