Yesterday's Lunch...

Taco Bell's Taco Salad minus the refried beans but with extra beef

 

[Mr Kram]

They look stunning, mouth-watering and exquisitely delicious as usual.

I have read that New Orleans has an amazing cuisine, and you have also satisfied my curiosity on one thing: I had never seen (although I have, of course, heard of, and long to taste it someday) what a gumbo looked like, and I must admit that I am intrigued and look forward to making its acquaintance if ever I do get to visit the US.

the food was amazing. had many great meals during our trip. also, gumbo done right is very satisfying. in fact, my daughter probably had gumbo at least 4 different times at different restaurants.

An aside: Would love a good gumbo recipe..

I will source one. I never use a recipe, but I will find one similar to what I would make. Can you get okra (a must) and andouille sausage (preferred) and gumbo file? Also, the roux is the most important thing. Takes patience to get it to the dark brown color without burning it.

Okra, yes, in Asian stores. Andouille sausage will be a bit harder to source (but I know people in the food trade whom I can ask). When I am next home on leave, I will try to hunt these down, or source these ingredients.

Gumbo file? I do not even know what this is - I'm afraid that you'll have to enlighten me.

Actually, I am writing from western Europe - John Bull's islands - and, while I have visited, and worked in three continents, the land mass of the Americas is not one of them. But I would love to try gumbo, and, if I ever do get to visit the US, New Orleans is a place I would like to see.

Yes! Japanese use okra for sure.

From a month ago at an organic café in the hills. A luscious espresso flavoured baked cheesecake with extra thick organic cream. I will occasionally have sweets for lunch, such are the joys of being a grownup! Everyone else at the table ate responsibly, I just went for a very strong coffee and dessert that day.

some home cooking:

Spaghetti with Crab in Lemon Butter, Bottarga and Buttered Panko

Also made some rosemary focaccia.

brined some bone in pork chops. all farmer's market. fresh peach and bourbon relish, sweet potato mash, sweet corn and heirloom cherry tomatoes with dill, buttermilk vinaigrette. crazy, but micro mustard greens made a nice contrast.

R Kitchen - Had dinner with a friend here. Super cool concept where the chefs create a random daily menu and serve it directly to you from their kitchen. Kind of reminded me of when I cook at home for our friends. Food isn't fancy, but still delicious.

@Mr Kram - delicious photos as always. Love the idea of the breakfast BLT and the other plates are nice.

Today's brunch and snack. I could eat potatoes and salad every day and not be bored. That's a cashew, sweet potato, green apple "soup" in the cup. Now to eat said snack.

 

[quagmire]

Pit smoked prime rib with Mac and cheese and French fries. Been going to this awesome BBQ place for years back in my CFI days, but finally managed to go there on a Friday when they have prime rib. It’s sooo good.

It’s been 2 years since I last viewed this site. The photo is my Veal and spaghetti dinner at Moma Rosa’s in Rutherford, NJ when I went to visit some family this year.

 

[mellofello]

Tried out the new Morimotos bar in Waikiki today for a light early dinner. The spicy tan tan ramen was bomb, as was the Frozen Kirin beer.
