Ooh who’s the lucky guy who had king crab legs last night? Yum

big yay - always nice to find new yummy discoveries. Did you have whipped cream with the chocolate shake?

Pure indulgence .. who on earth has a light lunch of shared / split slices of quiche by top rated patissier & moves on to a Michelin starred restaurant ? In this case , Tarte followed by Les Amis .. returned specifically for te ox tongue - hmm delicious


Quiches were : BROCCOLINI & RICOTTA CHEESE and BACON & MUSHROOM CHEESE



La Tete de Veau ( ox tongue stuffed in calf ’ s head , balanced with fresh herb salad and ravigote ) with sprinkling of egg and celeriac - was it poached ?

Enjoyed the amuse bouche , similar to earlier posts and the dark chocolate tart , had to miss the coffees though

Wawa tuna sub, loaded with veggies: onions, spinach, lettuce, sweet peppers, banana peppers, jalapeno peppers.

My kind of sub!
I haven't had a Wawa sub for a few years, miss them.

Just got around to making something that’s been on my radar for years (it’s one of those dishes you come across on lunch menus in Japanese cafés) but hadn’t done before.
Doria (ドリア), but didn’t make it for myself. My husband would happily eat rice every day, but my daughter prefers a bit more variety. I’m having stir fried cauliflower, and to keep the rice offering ‘fresh’ I tackled this video recipe
it’s pretty self explanatory, the middle ingredients are three tablespoons of tomato ketchup, about half a teaspoon of chicken stock granules and a teaspoon of oyster sauce.
Lots of other Doria recipes if you’re looking to mix things up for lunch/dinner but don’t have - or want to use - bacon. Prawn and other seafood kinds are pretty popular.
If you have the rice cooked already it’s less than 10 minutes - really simple.

It was very good.

Franks & Beans!

what is the white liquid - I'm guessing cream (could be coconut milk but since it's Japanese probably not - and not with cheese)?
Thanks for introducing me to her channel!

Last minute lunch decision to pick up from one of the excellent delis in our area. Pastrami Reuben for my wife, hot pastrami and Swiss on rye with mustard for me. Coleslaw and a deli pickle for each of us. Her leftover pastrami (typical huge deli sandwich) is going to make a really tasty omelet for me tomorrow .

It’s just milk (a little over 5oz, about 150ml). If the heat is relatively high, it thickens up quite quickly. Usually a Doria would have a white sauce, perhaps thickened with flour, or a tomato sauce. The ketchup/stock granules/oyster sauce mixed with the milk makes it unnecessary to add flour.
Here’s a machine translation of the ingredients:
[10 minute Doria * amounts]
(For 2 people)
Butter 10g
Bacon 40g
1/2 onion
Broccoli 1/2 share
Ketchup 3 tbsp
Consomme 1/2 teaspoon
Oyster sauce 1 teaspoon
Black pepper a little
Milk 150cc
Rice for 2 bowls (careful not to add too much, the rice soaks up the sauce, you want it to be moist at the end, not a brick)

Plenty of cheese
Bread crumbs 4 tbsp (2 tbsp each)
Butter 10g (5g each)

Daughter's 10 birthday and wanted to have crab legs for dinner. Sam's Club bought were a tad salty but otherwise fine when served with butter!
We also had cast-iron pan cooked chicken and rice with salad.

Sliced Persian cucumbers with everything bagel seasoning.

You can’t tell which sausage is better? Huh?

I miss the old days of Evergood at Costco. Maybe 14-15 years ago. I think the 12 pack of sausage was $7.99 then. Not split into 4 packs then. I cut down on Evergood a bit once they topped $10 a pack. For years, I’d eat two for breakfast almost every day.

Happy birthday to your daughter!

Yes, many happy returns! Hope she’s having a wonderful day, my 11 year old girl sends her love ❤️

tofu and bok choy cooked with oil, rice vinegar, and leftover spicy sauce from Monday’s ponzu bowl luncheon

Max & bennys?

Yeah, both Evergood and Silva hot Louisiana sausages are great. I can’t detect one being better.
tbh one evergood sausage per meal is very adequate. Yesterday I parked right by their plant.
