What have you had for lunch lately?

[Uncle Bob]

Tomato sandwich. Bread lathered with Duke's mayonnaise.

 

[Bitser]

We had guests for lunch and I made caprese salads, with tomatoes and basil from the greenhouse and cilengine (fresh mozzarella balls).

Also an antipasto platter with home-cured soppressata and pepperone, gruyere and white cheddar, assorted olives, and a sliced baguette. Bottle of Hawley Old Vine Zinfandel.

Bitzer, are you sure you're not a food artist? That's a gorgeous presentation, and very nice picture. Wish I had the talent, and camera for such shots.

Ta! I love composing a plate.

The camera is a 3-year-old Panasonic Lumix digital. Looking at a Leica review, I noticed that they'd bought the electronics from Panasonic, so I looked some more and saw that the Panasonic had optics from Leica and cost a lot less. It has a long zoom, good for wildlife shots. I do light editing with the resident Apple photo setup.

Lidl Vegetable Gyoza, Chinese crispy noodles and cherry tomatoes. Sweet & sour sauce and homemade ginger sauce for dipping.

Leftover wagu bottom round steak, cooked rare, sliced very thin against the grain Homemade rotini noodles with 5-cheese sauce made from powdered extra sharp cheddar, 10 year aged cheddar,, brie, with the rind removed, Pecorino Romano, Parmesan Reggiano, butter, and a bit of the pasta water. Combine over low heat, stirring until silky smooth. Add 1 tbs. yellow mustard, 6 grape tomatoes, quartered. Add al dente noodles to sauce. simmer to cook tomato, and thicken. Place cold steak into a bowl, cover with rotini and cheese. Stir to combine. Serve with a lightly grilled baguette dressed with EVOO. It was like a deconstructed Philly cheesesteak, but with noodles, and added tomato. It was yummy.

I asked Mom if she would like some lunch this afternoon ... "No, I'm not hungry".
I asked DH if he would like some lunch ... "What'cha got?"



Ham & Swiss Panini with Air Fryer French Fries
Mom: ooh, that sounds really good, sure I'll have that too, please, thank you

 

[Kaneohegirlinaz]

Mom & I were out and about in town today and we started to get a bit peckish, so I took her to my favorite Carniceria were they also have a small takeout and now some tables inside to sit and eat our lunch



Not bad for $2.50



I also bought a container of their Guacamole to add to our tacos and take the remainder home ... we ate almost the whole thing!

 

[Kaneohegirlinaz]

I had some of the HUGE Pork Chop leftover
from a coupla nights ago and I just do not
like to waste food.



I also had the Hamburger buns from Labor Day still in the pantry.
I reheated the sliced Pork, spread Mayo on one side of the bun
and Pesto on the other; added sliced Tomatoes (for Mom, but not Moi), Romaine Lettuce,
S&P and Bob's your Uncle!

Really tasty! Nice and juicy, tender meat made in the Sous Vide cooker.
Let's remember this sandwich.

 

[pepperhead212]

Today, for an early dinner or late lunch, whatever you want to call it, I made some Som Tum, with some julienned kohlrabi, instead of the traditional green papaya. I had to clean the dust out of my kruk, as I hadn't used it yet this year!

I used 3 Meteor peppers, and 3 Superchilis, and it wasn't as hot as when using my usual Thai peppers. Before using the Meteor, I tried a whole one, and it was a little bitter, but not as hot as the supechili, which aren't as hot as the Thai Vesuvius.

I eat most of it wrapped in a lettuce leaf, and this time some endive leaves, as that it growing even faster.

Great idea to use kohlrabi, and the lettuce/endive leaves! Love the pictures, too. I'll definitely try this.

 

[Kaneohegirlinaz]

Creamy Ham & Potato Soup with CI Skillet Rolls ala S&P
I must say DH said that the Rolls didn't taste the same as the
previous batches.
I did use a different Beer.
Usually, I use Trader Joe's Dark Beer, but today I used


Aaahhhhh! That's what made the difference!
Beer with Orange undertones versus the Malt-y.

Everything was tasty all the same!

 

[blissful]

A soup of blenderized tomatoes, slapper chopper fine diced broccoli stems, green and red peppers, onions, and thyme, oregano, basil, and a touch of salt. With ryecrisp crackers. Very refreshing.

Three leftover cheese burgers (homemade), minced. This was put into a pot with 1 cup water, 1 tbs. catsup, 3 tbs. smoky BBQ sauce, a tbs. Worcestershire Sauce,, 3 tbs. dark brown sugar, 1/2 onion, minced, and 2tbs. chili powder. Everything was heated until the onion lost its bite,, and a rich sauce developed, then served on hollowed our burger buns . Pretty tasty Sloppy Joe's

Today was brown lentils with garlic & onions on top of pasta.

 

[skilletlicker]

Didn't eat breakfast 'til way past lunchtime. Sautéed mushrooms and string beans with two fried eggs weren't enough calories so had kefir cheese and pico de gallo on whole-wheat toast for dessert.

 

[Janet H]

Todays lunch: Costco bean, cheese and brown rice frozen burrito - wrapped and microwaved in a paper towel, eaten at my desk.
Dessert: 2 lifesavers (1 orange and 1 green)

Yup - it's been that sort of day.

 

[dragnlaw]

Portabello cap with pear and provolone. Yumm under the pear and cheese is a smear of Dijon mustard and Balmic Vinegar .

 

[emilymh2018]

Lunch today was leftover chicken meatloaf with sides of creamed corn and Julia Child's braised carrots with herbs.
