That looks great! Brings back memories. For the paprika, did you use hot or sweet?
Mrs. P made a deconstructed fish taco tonight with blackened tilapia that had a Cajun dry rub, homemade guacamole, jalapeño cream cheese with chipotle chili powder, blue corn tortilla chips, arugula, sugar snap peas, sautéed red onions, and cherry tomatoes

Our payroll/benefits company treated us to breakfast this morning from a new-to-the-area breakfast/lunch place. There was lots of sweet potato-chorizo hash with cherry tomatoes and spinach leftover, so I packed it up for employees to take if they wanted. So I took some.
And had a second breakfast for dinner. A couple of over easy eggs on top of some hash. Didn’t get the ooey-gooey yolky ooze I had hoped for, because I slightly overcooked, but still good.
And wine. There was a glass of wine.

I figured i could call it dinner if i had a bowl of watermelon with more stuff in it… added cucumbers, scallions, sunflower seeds and a few olives. Added a squeeze of lemon juice.
And either the photo is blurry or my glasses are smudged!
There’s a new jar of peanut butter in the cupboard which i’ll likely open in a few hours when I’m hungry again- tbd if i just grab a spoon or schmear it on some apple

Earlier, Baked 2 pcs of Salmon brushed with a concoction of Dijon mustard, capers and fresh thyme along with a batch of red rice and roasted carrots.
Just enjoyed a portion of roasted pear ice cream with java for dessert.
Cheers,

Mrs. P’s food always looks so gorgeous (and I’m sure tastes gorgeous as well)! She needs her own blog!

Thank you very much @TheLibrarian 
No overtime today! I’d made black beans last night, so pulled a container of carnitas from the freezer, made a month or so ago. BF made mexi-rice, and a salad of cukes/shallots/pepitas. Neither the beans nor rice were flavorful enough to me, so i doused mine in El Yucateco red habanero sauce.

Already? It’s still too cold to even think of it here. Looks good if your weather is warm.
Home made tortillas? Yum!

Upcoming - brown gloop from the freezer. The bag is labelled “Aubergine daal”. And, no, I have no recollection of making this, nor does daal with aubergines seem the sort of thing I’d make. But I have. Anyway, it sounds suffciently south asian for me to also defrost a pack of supermarket vegetable samosas. And there’s also going to be supermarket “aloo saag”. And rice. And, I think, the last of a jar of tamarind & date chutney we bought from the farmers market. On a day when the weather was better, I may have gone to a nearby suburb, where there’s a couple of asian sweet shops (*). But, it’s raining heavily and I’d get soaked walking from the car park to the shops so, if something sweet is needed, I’ll conjure up a dessert from yoghurt, mint and honey.
(*) Manchester’s "Curry Mile " probably still has the UK’s greatest concentration of “Indian” restaurants although a rapidly increasing number of Middle Eastern restaurants and shisha bars are turning it into the “Kebab Kilometre”. It manages to be both blingy and seedy. I love it - although it’s no longer the place to go for excellent food. https://www.visitmanchester.com/things-to-see-and-do/the-curry-mile-p326621

Thanks @PHREDDY @mariacarmen The leftover risotto, with raw beet this time, shaved with a mandolin with the same Xères/Sherry vinegar and honey. I’ve not enough herb, green creamy sauce with spiruline, I have to say, that spiruline sauce the colour was a bit too greyish…to look appetising.

Last night, I made stuffed eggplants with lamb and pine nuts, recipe from Ottolenghi’s Jerusalem.
Disappointed, it was too burnt, as the suggested time was 1.5 hour, I reduced actually to 1h 10 minutes but still burnt.
Photo took before the dish went into the oven. Eggplanted was precooked for 25 minutes, lamb and onion was also cooked.
We ate a lot of pate these days as starters. Prune and pork.
Pork and pistachio.

Grilled salmon steak, smashed red potato, and a simple mixed green salad with butter beans, cherry tomatoes, shaved parm, and diced cucumber.
Some evoo on the fish with some lemon and a vinaigrette on the salad… No PSTOB on the potato.
Trying to eat lighter and cut down on the calories. After all I have get the 12 pack down to at least an 11 pack for the beach time!
