[Anastasia1999]

My favourite main course salad including cooked ham, cheddar cheese, beetroot chunks and crispy onions. Dressed with mayonnaise

I finally ate fish for the first time in years. Now I remember why. I just don't like the taste and texture.

This is tragic. I'm so sorry.

Give me lobster, scallops, clams, or crab and I'm there. But weirdly enough I will eat fish sticks. LOL, mystery meat fish.

White, yellow and purple cauliflower and romanesco broccoli with leek, peas, sunflower seeds and perch.

A couple of weeks ago: I got the thin end of a beef tenderloin from my butcher, wrapped it in double-smoked bacon and slow cooked it in a reverse sear on my pellet grill.

The "sliced" pics were awful...but it was a perfect medium rare at each and and rare in the middle for me...

Too bad: that salmon looks delicious and the risotto (?) looks perfect.

Mushroom risotto made with dried imported mushrooms given to me by a friend. It was really, really good and I have a bit leftover for today.

Sigh...I try to like fish just as I try to like eggplant. It never works for me.

How long did you search for a platter to match your counter?

I'll take your tenderloin any day!

I had a gas station burrito, a cherry icee, and bag of gummy bears past their expiration date.

Chicken ratatouille with steamed new potatoes.

Steamed new potatoes are so good! Especially almond potatoes. I could probably eat a kilo of them.

Oooh me too. I’m Irish, it’s what we eat. New potatoes are too delicate to be boiled.
What are almond potatoes? Are they really tiny like Drillinge?

 

[91Ranger]

BBQ ing tri-tip steak. My slut loves it.

They’re pretty small. They’re a specific potato type grown in Lapland and somehow they’re just the tastiest potatoes you’ll ever have! An absolute delicacy.

They look fantastic.

A pot of those with some salted butter and a pint of Guinness.

hahaha. Is that a euphemism?

I needed a smaller melamine platter for the BBQ, and was looking in Canadian Tire (I can't explain Canadian Tire except to say they sell more than tires) and found this ONE and ONLY ONE in a pile of assorted platters in the BBQ department.

I want this. I love potatoes beyond all reason.

Looks like the beginning of a beautiful, spud-based, post-pandemic Lit-together.

Pizza Margherita

 

[Phosphene]

I'll join in with leftovers.

The last bowl of homemade tomato basil soup with a several day old Chicago hard roll. 1/2 of an Ambrosia apple for dessert.

No frills and fast lunch. Yum!

Gracie! I Googled what a Chicago hard roll is. It’s a bread product from a grocery chain that is not in the Chicago area? What? I must be feeling what the people of France feel regarding French fries.

They're similar to a NY hard roll. Not sure why the chain puts Chicago on the label but they are perfect with soups and stews.

 

[gracie920101]

I made shrimp scampi over pasta, and a local mozzarella, garden tomato and garden basil salad with balsamic and olive oil, cracked pepper and sea salt.
So simple. So good.
I didn’t plant a garden this year because my puppy dug it up last year, but my neighbors next door came through. Delicious.

Ahhh, so jealous! I can't get decent tomatoes here.

 

[seela]

Chicken with carrot ribbon salad, walnuts and harissa based sauce.

 

[Whiskeyjack]

Just got some honey garlic chicken thighs going in the slow cooker.

 

[IrisAlthea]

Too humid/hot to eat really, but we managed some matjes, potatoes, sourcream and chives.
