This week…
Thinly sliced pear, shaved parma ham and pieces of burrata cheese salad with a basting of lemon zest, juice, fresh basil leaves and olive oil.
Sliced Cara Cara oranges, blood oranges, pink grapefruit and key lime over pan fried feta cheese.
Premade farro, toasted walnuts, sliced beets, arugula and goat cheese.
Boy, do I need that salad. Actually, I need to grow some of that.
A throw together tonight with iceberg, cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, sliced onion and chopped basil, tossed with a simple oil and vinegar dressing. It accompanied freezer meatballs on pasta. (A freezer is a lifesaver when you’re tired.)
This is a dinner I’d be thrilled to have, and have made many times. I’ll admit it; I like iceberg lettuce. And there’s always some kind of meatballs or meat sauce in my freezer. Next to the ice cream…
Well, yes, you have to have priorities. 
It used to be called white balsamic.
It’s been relabeled as white condimento lately in Canada.
I like this Greek version with honey. The Greek store where I shop stopped carrying it.
I am staying in an Airbnb, and these are my building blocks. .
But I don’t seem to be getting very far.
This is not my kitchen.
I think I’m going to go with the bagged salad with some fancy canned tuna.
Sour cream cucumber salad,
vinegary coleslaw, and tomatoes with basil, oil and vinegar tonight.
Todays salad was arugula with snow peas, lemon zest, lemon juice and olive oil dressing, and parmesan.
Those are some nice building blocks! I’d go steak over the asian slaw, but it’s hard to go wrong with what you’ve got!

Sigh. Me too.
I am going to have to put that on hold until I am back in my kitchen.
It’s sorta impossible for me to cook in a “foreign” kitchen.
I don’t think I’d be getting back my cleaning deposit if I tried to make a rib cap with what they have in this kitchen.
I should probably look at that contract. 
Reverse sear?
I can’t find a pan that will work for a pan sear, nor one for a hot oven, and the fan over the stove doesn’t work. 
.
But that’s a story for a different thread.
Oy.
That sounds fantastic! Looking forward to much inspo here 
I hope you are luckier than my farmer friends in the boonz 
It truly is a wonderful lettuce - thus my lengthy ode 
That’s my stash tuna!
