Location Hong Kong.
Dinner: slightly overpriced slice of cheese pizza from a new place called Paisano's. It's supposed to be the first place in HK that offers pizza by the slice, supposed to be NY-style, owned by Americans but staffed by Indonesians so the pie was more like a pizza-roti hybrid with tomato sauce and cheese.

Location: NY NY, Second Ave Deli
Meal: Lunch

Met up with a friend of mine for a lunch today. 2 hours later we left.

Start: Jewish Penicillin Soup, Vinegar based coleslaw, pickled...pickles & tomato
1/2 a sandwich: Brisket Sandwich with mustard. He got the corned beef.
Drink: Dr. Brown's Black Cherry Soda
Dessert: we shared 1. Warm Apple Strudel 2. Chocolate Babka
Single Espresso.

It was his first time having Matzo Ball Soup and he liked it a lot.

I made a delicious roasted cherry tomato soup last evening. I had planned on something else for dinner but after I tasted the soup (which I had not made before), I wanted nothing more than it and a crusty piece of bread. :)

Then the last bit of a bread pudding, slightly warmed, with fresh whipped cream.

A bowl of Trader Joe's-brand frosted shredded wheats, a handful of Snyder's sesame/quinoa/blue agave pretzels and a sheet of swiss cheese. Sheet sounds like a good measuring word for cheese, good and impractical...

Oh, and a tropical carrot juice blend, also from Trader Joe's (a US supermarket).

Somebody who had had my ANZAC biscuits years ago, asked me for the recipe out of the blue. So, I was inspired and made a batch too. They're really hard to resist. :)

Location: New York NY

Meal: Homemade Hot & Sour soup with homemade venison dumplings in soup.

Location: UK-Hampshire-home
Meal: Lunch

Roast loin of pork with crackling, red cabbage, sautee charlottes and some home made semmelknodel and some porky gravy.

I was yearning for some dumplings and so the meal was basically around the dumplings. Very sad. I even made bread for them.

What's everyone having for Christmas? Some sort of pork roast dish being prepared in our kitchen for tomorrow. Tonight it's the traditional Lithuanian Christmas Eve dinner, lots of fish, vegetables, bread and beet soup

Nice, it has been awhile since I've been to 2nd Ave deli, I liked the corned beef there.

NOT Turkey.

Chicken breast roast with pork in blankets, brussels, parsnips, sautee charlottes with gravy. Followed by christmas pud and custard washed down with champers.

I might add a dumpling.

Location: Singapore, after work on Xmas.
Meal: Early dinner.

Wonton soup with roasted pork added, from a hole-in-the-wall joint near my hotel. Quite good.

Last night was the big Christmas celebration meal in this part of the world. Managed to BBQ a whole side of pork rib before the storm hit us. Mother in law brought over some overpriced chicken creation she had bought in....filled with apple, prune and something else I wasn't enamoured with......a nutty thing.
Today it's cold pork rib (made too much) and a whole beef fillet done in the horno. I'm also going to bake some whole bananas filled with brown sugar, knob of butter, chocolate chips and a shake of brandy.....might as well make use of the heat in the oven after the fillet is cooked.
After that I can rest till next week when the whole carry on will start again. :rolleyes:
