I made Zucchini Pasta for the wife and I since she's on a "slow carb" kick. It wasn't the worst, but I wouldnt try it again.
She treated me to homemade donut bites so that made up for it. |

All in NYC
Dinner: A delicious omelette with mozzarella and onions, refried black beans, carrots, and deliriously garlicky garlic bread. That latter one is from the Fairway supermarkets. Might be an idea for me to try that with a sort of Spanish tortilla ie perhaps with some potato added and red pepper covered with lots of fried onion with the cheese on top and grilled. What do you reckon? |

I love the sweetness of onions in omelette but have never thought of mozzarella. Did you put it under a grill or put it in cold?

What do you reckon? Indeed a Spanish tortilla needs potatoes and onions, and adding the cheese sounds quite nice, though rich! Take a picture if you do thus. By the by, I seem to notice more and more signs in New York City for fried onions (on hot dogs, for example). That sounds like a fad I'd be down with (and have been down with since plopping them on top of sate and peanut sauce in Indonesia). |
Mundane food during the day (toast/cereal/coffee for breakfast, leftovers for lunch) but for dinner, grass fed NY Strip Steaks from Whole Foods seasoned with salt and lemon juice cooked over a charcoal grill with my Dad. Paired with several IPAs and some potato salad and of course, excellent conversation ^

The wife makes a fine tortilla....fried onion, red pepper and pre made chips all go into the switched eggs. I did try adding some grated sardo cheese to the egg mixture once much to my wife's horror. However if you like cheesy scrambled egg you'll like it.

Breakfast: a Hong Kong "tea" egg, a quarter of a papaya, a sweet roll with coconut flakes from a HK bakery and mug of Darjeeling.
Lunch: HK-style beef and turnip stew lunchbox "set" with Chinese potato & tomato soup, HK-style hot tea with lemon from a random lunch-only place in a factory district. Afternoon tea: Mango ceylon tea, HK egg custard tart (the traditional one with the savory flaky pastry). Dinner: steamed pork dried-shitake salt fish patty, braised sugar snap peas and bamboo stuffed with fungus, fresh shitake, carrots and celery. All over steamed long grain rice. |

Either of those are among the rare purchases I'd make at a HK/Chinatown bakery (my usual go-to, at least when in HK, is called "wooden milk bread"). One place in San Francisco had what was called in English a "coconut volcano," which was the best version I've eaten up until now. |
Lunch@home. Pork schnitzels with croquet potatoes and French beans. Bottle of Pecheur - our current cheapo but lemony house white!
|
Guacamole steakburger, fries and a chocolate malt from Steak n Shake for lunch!
|
Everything posted sound so good. Have not eaten anything for more than 48 hours, a case of obstructed intestine.

Did the sweet roll have a coconut cream filling, or was it just unctuously abbreviated with coconut flakes?

I was supposed to have dinner with my Mom tonight but she had to work so my Dad filled in (one parent is as good as another, right?). We went to Lilly's Pizza, a delicious local joint I've mentioned upthread and split a pitcher. I had a "Cow Tipper" which comes with "Homemade organic tomato sauce, mozzarella, all-natural ground beef, black olives, parmesan & feta". Excellent as always ^

I made absolutely sure that I had brushed all the coconut off myself, but still kept on finding ninja flakes popping up here and there during the day.
That coconut volcano sounds good, was it in SF Chinatown? Ah yes, can definitely relate about the futility of keeping clean while eating those things! Condensed milk, that makes it so much richer than the usual coconut cream. Have you tried fried mantou and condensed milk? As for the volcano, I can't find a picture of it, and the store may not exist anymore (it was six years ago), but the dessert might, in some form. IIRC, it was mostly fried coconut strips with batter. II don't RC, it was w/out batter. And yes, it was in the SF Chinatown. |

OTOH, it's food, and all of the ingredients sound good, so I'm down! |
