.. baking last Sunday morning -- apple pie -- made with BC Okanagan apples, fresh from a farm in Osoyoos, and half & half 100% brown whole wheat and all purpose flours for the pastry.

Yum.

That looks delicious; I spy mushrooms, peppers, scallions (French onions)..and, obviously, noodles, and whatever sauce, or flavours were added.
Yup. Protein was 1/4 of an $11 beef sirloin, marinated in soy and shaoshing (sp?) wine; sauce was cornstarch, oyster sauce, Tiger sauce and more Shaoshing, and a bit of water.
I saw these dried wheat noodles at the asian market, $3 for a bag of 12 "nests"; they looked like the perfect proportion for a single serving. They were, but they were "angel hair" thin, and didn't play well in the wok (fair amount of sticking) so when these are gone, I'll be going back to fetuccini-size. But it's fun to experiment!

From left going down, shrimp har gow, siu mai, cha siu bao.

can't remember what to call the other two
Yum.

Wonderful.

Thank you.

My mouth is watering just contemplating those dumplings.

I would say - write - "enjoy" - but for the fact that I imagine that you have already thoroughly enjoyed them at the time of eating.

Detailed descriptions, please for the first, (which looks amazing), second (the soup - what is it?) and third (am curious about the sauce; fish and potatoes are a classic combination) pictures.

The fourth, I must confess that I have no idea whatsoever as to what it might be.

The fifth is clearly dessert which interests me less, but it would be nice to learn what the plate is playing host to.

We tried crumpets for the first time in Australia last year, and I have been thinking about them ever since.

We cannot get them here in my area, so I bought the rings, and made them from scratch.

Absolutely delicious, and actually quite easy.

That looks divine and absolutely delicious.

And served with lemon curd, no less.

Do enjoy.

Not sure what an "egg over easy" means - not a term used This Side of the Pond, but that dish does look mouthwatering.
That term or something similar reminds me of my first trip Stateside - also from the other side of the pond.
I was in Connecticut on a business trip, and whilst ordering breafast the waiter asked me if If I wanted my egg "Sunny side up". And like a tool-fool I answered, "Up where?"
Don't think I ate in there a second time.........

Yes, "sunny side up" is another one of those expressions that baffles me, and is alien to the cuisine and culture Across the Pond.

Some baking earlier this week -- a banana / apple bread loaf. Preparations included: one cup of a 100% brown whole wheat flour, and one cup of a whole wheat multi-purpose flour, three large, ripe bananas, and two small, golden apples, and small amounts of natural brown, cane sugar, and canola oil. Plus, all the other needed ingredients - two eggs, baking soda, baking powder, and milk.

Sure pleased with the result -- so moist and flavourful. Another successful use of an original recipe found and used first "as is" for a banana bread loaf -- and since then, for several variations on that original theme.
