That picture reminds me that nutritional yeast goes great as a topping on potato salad (even ones with ham and tomatoes).
Now there’s a combo I’ve never heard of!
Funny you should say that because I keep hearing about the health benefits of nutritional yeast. Apparently it tastes like cheese. One of these days I will try it.
Another Friday, another taco lunch. How predictable I am.
2 Cajun shrimp tacos, one Newcastle taco (Lebanese spiced lamb, feta, banana peppers).

A grocery store near my home used to have a cooking school at the back of the store and I used to take some of their classes. I remember going to the store once to grocery shop and one of the chefs was making that potato salad and they were giving samples out. The recipe was available to take home so I did and I have been making it ever since.

A happier Strammer Max than yesterday’s, albeit with just one measly egg my PIC had left me after making his pumpkin walnut bread. SOB! 
I made do with the last local egg, Wegmans’ rosemary ham & havarti on Aldi’s pane turano. Local cream cheese for bottom lube.

Thank you, W-S sold them a very long time ago.

My mom was out of town a couple of days ago and called saying I should cook the okra she bought because she had forgotten about it. I said I didn’t feel like it because I don’t have any desire to eat okra at the moment (I do like it though), and I could guarantee she bought a minimum of two pounds because she is incapable of buying reasonable amounts of things when it comes to food. So something like gumbo, which might entice me to eat it, was out of the question as it doesn’t require that much. She admitted there were two pounds and insisted there were bound to be too-mature pods in there that would be discarded. I sighed. I told her they’d be fine for a few more days anyway.
So today I cooked the okra in one of my favorite ways— Ottolenghi’s baked okra with ginger and tomatoes. I discarded all of two okra pods out of those two pounds, btw. 
I still don’t really want to eat it, though.

It looks delicious! Will it freeze ok? That’s usually my solution.

Post-PT (aka ultrasound torture hahaha 
) lunch: another Strammer Max at Casa Lingua.
My PIC’s looks like a googly-eyed egg monster,
whereas I over-eased mine perfectly (I hate clear whites over the yolk >shudder<).
Money shot speshul for @mariacarmen .

It should freeze fine, but we rarely freeze cooked food here due to the space it takes up. It’ll get eaten mostly by me because I know she doesn’t even love okra that much (my dad used to like it and she mostly cooked it for him and to take a break from meat) and she’ll likely complain about tomatoes being acidic (she usually stews okra with tomato paste rather than tomatoes).

Next time you need to use up a bunch of okra, try okra “fries” in the microwave. Shrinks a couple of pounds down like nothing else

These get roasted and I almost wanted to leave them like that since they’re pretty tasty, but I had decided on this since it’s great over rice. Really I just wanted gumbo or stir-fried with eggs.

I love okra.
Steamed and dipped in honey mustard. Yum.
Diced okra goes well in scrambled eggs, in case you still want to scratch that egg itch …
