Lunch 2023 (!)

We have a relatively new PR place in town run by young peeps that has become a hugely popular hangout for the local Latino contingent, and they cook up a few PR specialties on Saturdays.

We swung by and grabbed pollo al ajillo, chicharron, and yellow rice. The meats are delicious, the rice a tad bit underdone. I wish we’d ordered a tripleta to share before pickling balls, but the wait was long enough as it was. We’ll also have to get the mofongo next time around.

A couple of nights ago, we went to Wu’s Wonton King, and I got one of my favorites, snow pea shoots with three kinds of egg. Note that this is only one of MY favorites, because my companions are terrified of century eggs, which is one of the three kinds. So I had a lotta leftovers. The first time I attacked them, I ate most of the egg. So today, I had to add some back!

Absolutely adore stir-fried pea shoots, but am with your companions on the century egg. Eh.

I don’t think there’s anything you can do to an egg that I won’t like. Except get bacon all over it, or something.

How 'bout straight outta the shell?

Quail egg on top of sushi, no problem. So probably.

Nope, as is. No accoutrements, no fancy base. And a quail egg is cheating.

A raw chicken egg. I personally would not be able to get it down, and used to watch the marines trying to show off doing so with a mix of disgust and pity.

I would be able to get it down. But that’s stunt eating, and proving my macho bona fides is not really my thing.

I didn’t think it was.

Sunday brunch.

Panettone French toast, crispy bacon 🥓, warm maple syrup and blueberries, for health!

@linguafood and @MunchkinRedux do either of you have a recipe to share? It’s soup season and I’ve only made chowder with clams.

OINK!! :pig:

I posted a link to the recipe I based mine on in the Dec WFD thread, but here it is again. I did not use carrot bc fuck carrots with salmon, plus I had fennel to use up. Maybe @MunchkinRedux has a different/better recipe to share?

I use a version from The View From Great Island, to which I was introduced by another HO community member on the WFD thread (can’t recall who).

I’m OK with the carrots in it, and sometimes will even add peas. :scream_cat:

See, peas I could see. I just don’t see carrots and salmon together.

Is that that rib thing they’ve been advertising ad nauseam?
