That all looks wonderful. Popcorn ice cream, soufflé , potatoes with comte....yummy. And that was just lunch?
Did decide to have extra desserts for ourselves for takeaway . Could not resist , one for our friend and 3 for me - will decide if sharing .. |
Light breakfast: avocados, butter, and feta quesadilla :)

Mrs BV and I have started delivering Meals on Wheels in our community a couple times a month. It’s a nice service for the many (mostly) single, getting on in years, recuperating from surgery & just plain don’t like to cook folks here. There is one hot meal each day and a chef’s salad alternative. Today was the first time we had to deliver a salad and it smelled wonderful when it came out of the cooler. So …
I made a chef’s salad for lunch. Romaine, Vidalia onion, Kalamata olives, grape tomatoes, cheddar slices, sliced pork roast, cucumber chunks, radishes splashed with vinaigrette. |

Quick question. Why do you share your calendar with us? Am I missing something? Perhaps there was a thread that I missed.

Tell me about this popcorn ice cream. Anyway , below is what desserts are at home ;) Really hope flying will be possible soon - miss travelling to savour meals elsewhere too . Meeting up with some of you on Zoom has helped somewhat 😉 The desserts from ( typo above in title - do not know how to amend .. ) Voyage Patisserie https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...6c266cf24.jpeg White Peach Crumble - Lightly Confit Tahitian Vanilla Cassonade Sugar https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...254f86568.jpeg Basque Burnt Cheese Cake - Artisan Crème Cheese Mascarpone Crème Cru https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...a897b6b96.jpeg Crispy Apple Galette - Caramelized Puff Pastry Granny Smith Tahitian Vanilla Cassonade Sugar |
My wife made a nice birthday brownie cake for a friend. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to sample any.

Dinner out last night at one of my favorites, The Crooked Spoon in Clermont FL. I can’t seem to get past one menu item to try anything new, although I did change it up. They have a fresh fish BLT featuring thick, crisp bacon and roasted red pepper- caper mayo. Previous time I chose blackened redfish, last night I selected grouper. Washed it down with Cider Boys First Press available on tap. My father in law had the lobster grilled cheese which looked like about a half pound of lobster salad between two slices of cheese toast. I couldn’t believe he finished it all. If the server had arrived a minute later, she might have caught him licking the plate.

Yesterday I cooked my little pork roast (2 lbs) with charred tomatillo sauce, potatoes, eggplants, green onions, shallots, and garlic.
- Seared the pork with olive oil over high heat on all sides in a cast iron skillet for about 5 minutes. Removed. - Added the shallots, green onions and garlic to the skillet and cooked for 3 minutes. - Placed the pork back in the skillet and added pealed boiled potatoes, 2 Anaheim chilis and placed uncovered in preheated 450F oven - Cooked uncovered for 30 minutes. Then covered to cook covered for additional 1.5 hours. - Added the sliced eggplant disks on top one hour before ending. - Final product was subliminal but the pork was too soft to slice. - Ended up eating the potatoes, delicious carnalized edges, and drippings with bread for dinner. - The beautiful pork formed a shape and I sliced it this morning. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...6af558de_z.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...41c2fa62_z.jpg |
I christened my new enameled cast iron dutch oven with chicken tikka masala for lunch today.

Applied the above pork and potatoes to breakfast this morning - with the following results!
Have some Vons' bought apple strudels which I crisped in the oven, also for breakfast! :) https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...166ac4e2_z.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...791e5a7b_z.jpg |
