Lunch 2023 (!)

Do you steam your cabbage with a liquid at all when you stir fry? A little broth for a couple minutes perhaps?

I quckly blanch in water and a bit of sesame oil, then stir fry.

I made vegetable kebabs today. The weather is completely unsuitable for this style of food but I want my Spring. I marinated the mushrooms in lavender, rosemary, black pepper, olive oil, salt and balsamic vinegar and grilled them with tomatoes and padron peppers in the oven.

Taco lunch after a stressful morning: the “Newcastle” (lamb, pepper salsa - really just sliced banana peppers, feta, mint), roast pork & chile lime chicken. #tacowednesday

Celebrated some very good news today with a ginormous lunch salad: Aldi gem lettuce, celery, sugar bomb tomatoes, cuke, HBEs, avocado, tuna, tossed with a copycat OG dressing I picked up for exactly this purpose – of course, I still spent about 45 min chopping and cleaning ingredients, so I’m not sure how much of a timesaver bottled dressing truly is. The OG dressing is inoffensive, at least, and made more palatable with diced shallot and fresh parsley…. since I was chopping shit already :joy:

Also a salad! Though much smaller. It finally feels Spring like so I’m wanting some lighter foods now. There is spinach, shredded cabbage, carrots, daikon, bell pepper, homemade pickled ginger, toasted almonds, wonton crisps and a sesame dressing mostly made up of toasted sesame seeds and Kewpie.

My teenager whipped this up for lunch today. Spam fried rice. (I keep telling her that she’ll be popular in college if she keeps this up)

Only two, could’ve used another one.
