Lunch 2023 (!)

I think the Pepperidge Farm bread is the closest you’ll find to a commercial loaf. I guess a baker who will bake loaves in a Pullman pan. I’ve never found one - baker that is… The pans are available.

ETA- look for pain de mie

A recent alum has opened up a Korean fried chicken place in town, and after a lengthy hair appointment sans prior breakfast it seemed like just the ticket for lunch.

A portion for ONE (! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:) with fries. Enough for the two of us for lunch AND dinner.

That looks like the same type of fried chicken that my favouritest fried chicken resto makes! And in the same volume :slight_smile: Glad you enjoyed it!

I do not know where you are, but the SF Bay Area’s Acme Bread makes a Classic Pain de Mie (Pullman Pan) and both Sweet and Sour French Loaves with their respective lean Doughs used for Baguette and Bâtard (Loaf Pans, so rounded Tops).

I was feeling peckish at lunch! So I had a bowl of leek and potato soup. It really hit the spot.

It’s been 8 years, and I never forgot the food at Lers Ros. We went there for lunch today and had the grilled pork shoulder salad & the duck laab. Both scrumptious.

Usually I like tuna fried rice with kimchi (or rather sauerkraut made to taste like kimchi these days), but I wanted to clean up some odd vegetables left in the fridge like zucchini and red cabbage, and the bit of peas in the freezer. Used a little chili garlic paste for heat and this was pretty delicious even without kimchi.

I am so interested in this, Shellybean. Would you let me know how you do this, please.

I had a slice of left over pizza for lunch and two small mandarin oranges. I was rather hungry which is a bit unusual for me. I normally have one hardboiled egg and a piece of fruit.

I I toss the sauerkraut with lots of chili flakes, minced garlic, fish sauce, and some scallions. When doing fried rice I do it right in the wok. It’s not exactly the same, but it gets the job done and tastes delicious!

I learned how to make fried rice the way I like it when we lived in Japan. My whole family makes it that way now; we love it. I want to try this faux kimchi as a side to go with the fried rice.

Thank you so much. I am absolutely going to try this. I have everything in the pantry.

A lunch with enough food to feed a small army: eggs Florentine with Portuguese sausage & roasted potatoes for me, mahi sammich with potato mac salad for my PIC. I’m not sure I understand the concept of adding potatoes to mac salad or vice versa, but it’s apparently a Thing here. I ate probably 1/3 of my plate. We also got the famous butter rolls, which turn out to be butter-soaked hamburger rolls (Hawaiian rolls?) with a cup of sauce on the side that has the appearance and flavor of Robitussin. Wut.



Filling, but def a one-off

I don’t understand mac salad that’s seemingly 50% mayo. But I ate it anyway.
