1-1/2" thick lamb loin chops from Costco, grilled medium rare. Could cut with a fork, melt in your mouth. Stacey's plain pita chips with warm artichoke dip, and sliced cucumber. Simple and light for our first 90° day of the year.

Lunch - overlooking the sea in Devon. Bought some lovely fresh mussels and thought I'd do Chilli Mussels ie treat it as if it were Chilli Crab.
Made some garlic and parsley flatbread to go with and some nice freezing dry Pecheur to go with it. ^

Which chilies did you use? It's a dish that I liked enough to actually not want to eat it anywhere else but Singapore. May not make much sense, but it was a good memory, dipping the fried mantou into the sauce, combined with the crab.

I used some standard non-descript supermarket hot chilli and blended it with garlic and oil and fried it in butter and added cream of tomato soup and some sugar. Flat leaf parsley on top.
Used the shells to scoop the "sauce".

Tried a local restaurant called William's Gourmet Kitchen today. Had a blue cheese chicken wrap and fries and they were both really good AND served with huge portions. Definitely a good dinner ^

NYC
Breakfast: Various sugared cereals at 4x the recommended serving size, and added cinnamon and walnuts
Lunch: Two $1 slices of pizza and an apple juice
Dinner: Mujaddara (lentils, rice and caramelized onions) and a (re?-)bottle of water
Dessert, maybe: Honey oat granola bar, chocolate chips and milk. Either preceded or followed by V8 with Turkish hot pepper juice added to make it spicy. Can't remember, because I eat savories or sweets anytime of day, in any order.

I have been buying this in the uk at around £8 -£9 per bottle or so. I bought a couple of cases yesterday having enjoyed a few previously. I have been throwing ( sorry - decanting) it into a jug to air ( and I mean throwing) and that with ensuring it's not too cold seems to be giving a fairly "expensive" refined wine at a lowish cost. It needs air and temperature to give it refinement. I sort of think of it as being a summer Rioja if you get my drift.

That's me with a 16 ounce bone in filet and my brother with a 12 ounce filet mignon with garlic. We split a side of blue cheese scallion potatoes. Plus for being at a fancy place paying a mere $11 for a Glenlivet 12 on the rocks is okay by me. They fill the glass all the way to the brim too. Excellent wine selection (the Malbec I paired with my steak is not pictured).
