That crabcake looks legit!
You are absolutely correct! Jumbo Lump from Cambridge😋.

Pi Day for lunch. Sautéed onions. mushrooms, Savoy cabbage, escarole, garlic chives, thyme, guanciale.
Comté cheese thinly sliced over the bottom of the crust prior to filling, then crust brushed with an egg wash…tasted good!

I’m enjoying a ham and cheese melt using the rolls recipe I followed yesterday but today I made potato salad to go with following this recipe and the use of diced pickles and pickle juice really perks up the mix. I didn’t use red onion; just a touch of grated white onion for the juice.

A morning of multi-county errands → Marin (Amphora Nueva for refill of Blenheim apricot balsamic vinegar, but also discovered Maple syrup balsamic and husband picked out some black cherry balsamic); on to Berkeley recycling and then to Mi Tierra Foods for house made chorizo and fresh lard; to The Crucible in Oakland to let off some metal for their work; back to SF for dim sum…but today is Tuesday when most of Clement St dim sum is closed. So settled on chow mein at Gourmet Dim Sum. Home, unpacked, stuffed, nap time. Up since 5.

Turkey breast , mushroom, onion gravy, sautéed peppers, tomatoes; and a garlic roll Ukrainian style. I might want to skip dinner but that probably won’t happen!

Sounds like a fun day. Just curious - since you were in a mood for dim sum, why did you have chow mein at Gourmet Dim Sum? I’ve never been there. Is the dim sum not great?
We’d actually more or less over-dim-summed in the last couple of weeks, so the goal really was chow mein. Our preferred chow mein source is Lucky Dim Sum, across the street and down block, but as said, they are closed on Tuesdays.
Don’t miss the scallop dumplings if you go to Gourmet Dim Sum.

@Nannybakes - your Pi is inspirational. Work of art. And what a lovely, colorful turkey dinner. Welcome to HO!
@Nannybakes, @Presunto - putting a visit to the nursery on my Spring list - kumquats (I’ve grown them before) and limequats (I haven’t and don’t know why) Beautiful pictures.
@Rooster - Rosanne Cash on YouTube just now as I read the recipe. Such a voice, and she can cook.
Roast Beef and white cheddar on lightly toasted Pane Turano (Aldi) with mayo and Sabra schug on the bread and a cucumber spear. Yes, my toaster sucks.
Coleslaw with pineapple. Did not care for the mayo based dressing.
Specially Selected (Aldi) Seafood Jambalaya - kidney beans - Yuk!, Undercooked kidney beans - Yukety-Yuk-Yuk. But otherwise, pretty good. Squid is most common seafood ingredient per the label (fresh from the Louisiana bayous 
) shrimp the least. I guessed the fish is Swai or Tilapia but the package says Pollock. Not spicy. 4 servings per package is claimed - that’s about 2.5 servings, then!
I will try again, if I ever see it again.

Is it this one? I don’t think so.
If not, do you mind sharing a link?
Maybe this one!

I “developed” the recipe I use from seeing the lemon recipe with honey on Food in Jars. The part where the lemons are cooked in water is what I adapted. Instead of cooking them stovetop for 25 minutes or so, I short cut that by using the pressure cooker for 5 to 7 minutes. In addition, I use sugar instead of honey. So, my jam consists of one lb. of Meyer lemons cooked in pressure cooker with water to cover, then cooled. Lemons are quartered, center membrane removed along with the seeds. I add one cup of the cooking liquid, quartered lemons and one to one and an eighth cup sugar to the blender and pulverize to your liking. At this point, you can taste to see if it is sweetened to suit you. I have not used honey so I can’t speak to that but the proportions of honey to lemon in the Food in Jars recipe will likely result in a much sweeter jam.

Thank you for your welcome and the kind comments regarding the Pi picture and the turkey pic. At present, I’m on a hold on posting anything further with pictures as my Ipad is locked and I’m dreading the outcome. My official Ipad fixer, a/k/a … my granddaughter will be taking a look at it , hopefully this weekend.

I have tried other potato salad recipes and always come back to that version. Just the right combo and even better a day later.

Lunch was homemade hummus and celery sticks and chicken tenders stewed in fig balsamic. A bit of this and that.

Open faced Reuben sandwiches from yesterday’s corned beef…almost as good as the original.
