What is/was for dinner?

I hear you.

That's what's great about pizza, you can reheat it days later and it's nearly as good as fresh.

Lemongrass chicken Banh Mi sandwich with some extra concentrated pho broth to dunk it in.

That is delicious. Anyone who hasn't tried Vietnamese hoagies (Banh Mi) is really missing out on a delicious treat. I sometimes get them from a local restaurant but I also have a Cambodian neighbor who insists I eat her home cooked meals instead. Very healthy and delicious food. I'm from NJ so when I first heard about Banh Mi, I was skeptical. I mean, hey yo, I'm from Jersey, we know hoagies. I was pleasantly surprised. My neighbors say I'm cultured now. 😉

The lobster season is supposed to be fantastic around the norwegien coast this year, after being fished almost to extinction, because of many years of regulation, the sea is crawling with them. Also means they're half price of normal. I'm a bit reluctant, though. I don't know anything about lobster or preparing it. Maybe easiest to make a cream lobster salad or something, but I'd lose the impressiveness that it has as a main dish.

That looks absolutely mouth-watering; I love a good banh-mi.

My local grocer is now making their own “pizza cheese”; made-in-store whole milk mozz pressed so it was low-moisture (the Polly-O brand most pizza makers use isn’t available in Utah). I got burned out on pizza ~twelve years ago (long story) but this cheese had me intrigued, so I bought some along with Boar's Head pepperoni, and made some pies:

This new mozz melted and browned beautifully before it leeched out the "orange grease", and tasted pretty good. I'll be adding pizzas to my rotation again, just not go overboard like I did before.

Meatballs and rigatoni,with a shaved fennel salad

Looks absolutely delicious, especially, 1): The sauce that the meat balls were cooked in (and are served in), and, 2): That wonderful looking salad dressing (I assume olive oil, lemon juice or white wine/sherry vinegar, perhaps mustard, and a little honey or sugar).

In my experience, oranges, that is, orange slices - especially slices of blood oranges, which should be coming into season fairly soon - go exceptionally well with shaved fennel.

Very insightful on the dressing.

It consisted of lemon juice, and the zest of the lemon, honey, Dijon mustard, and lots of microplaned parmesan cheese.

I have been getting better with my red sauce. This one was cooked with the fond from searing the meatballs, and then slowly simmered for 6 hours. I have been finding that cooking the red sauce low, and slow adds a lot of complexity to the flavor.

Had to look those up, sounds good. What filling, if any, did you have?

Pork or some kind of meat.
