Chicago Italian Beef/Sausage combo sandwich. Semi-homemade as I had the giardiniera, beef and gravy shipped from Chicago. Made a big pot of gravy and over 30 sausages this morning and placed a single one in the center of the roll, covered it with beef swimming in that hot au jus, and topped with hot giardiniera. Fed 13 people lunch and still have a ton of leftovers.

Stupendous!
Saturday nights short rib over buttery Parmesan pasta. Somehow I bought peeled and sliced tomatoes vs. crushed so the sauce didn’t cook down as it should have. Minimal difference to taste, it was delicious just not as much of a ragu as it should have been.

Takeout tonight from Neelam after a day at the beach. I had chicken makhni and Justin had chicken dhingri. We shared a navrattan korma, rice, and naan.
There were several cocktails. He had margaritas while I had pink lemonade vodka with club soda.

Mrs. P made a refreshing watermelon salad to go with Dungeness crabs and Alaskan king crab legs, with TJ’s sweet potato fries on the side. Details and pictures on the main WFD thread below.

Looks like breakfast to me!
With a bag of mints for dessert?

When I was a kid, chive cream cheese was one of the few ‘alternate’ flavors available… then scallions and onions came in to the pic (separate flavor), along with others like vegetable, strawberry, lox, and others. Here in NJ (at least) most bagel places offer 8-12 flavors (some of them GDAWFUL, imo), so it’s a thing!
ETA that my personal favorite is a toasted sesame bagel w plain cream cheese, a slice of red onion, and lox (+ a good cup of coffee).

When did scallion cream cheese replace chive? I like you remember chive cream cheese being the main alternative to plain and you can’t seem to get it anymore.
No idea, but I suspect chives are harder to get and/or (therefore?) more expensive! Or maybe the shelf life of the scallion is longer…?
Yes. I cut enough for two halves. Then I found out I had to share with someone who doesn’t like them, so piled it all on one half.

I was at a bagel place a few months ago and was surprised at the difference in price between scallion and regular cream cheese on a prepared bagel. Never thought about before I guess.
Been buying my own Philly or TemTee, whitefish salad, lox bits, and scallions for along time now. Delicious.
