In keeping with my Meatless Monday routine, it’s a couple of Dr. Praeger mushroom risotto veggie burgers and tater tots.
No booze, but there is The Last Man on Earth on TV.

A potato and onion (and shhhhhh! a bit of chard!) frittata.
Haven’t been eating potatoes much but I am feeling sorry for myself, so why not?
Feeling on my way in a handbasket.

Dinner: Mixed green salad, white bean chicken tortilla soup with embellishments. No cilantro, green onions to top. Oh, and fresh roasted (frozen) extra hot Hatch Green Chiles. Used to buy them by the 30 lbs!

Welcome to lockdown eve! Yep, SF and other Bay Area counties join the ranks of the shelter-in-place communities, tonight at midnight. Working in jammies tomorrow!
Worked late tonight, so BF made a batch of the chicken broth rice, and i made more ginger-scallion sauce. We split a medium-rare ribeye. On the side was afterthought salad: romaine, endive, and bottled Japanese (Daiso) onion dressing.
Strength and health to us all!

And I love that dish. You’re from the SF area, aren’t you? Did you get it here in the City?

OMG - all looks so wonderful, and that is my idea of the perfectly cooked ribeye. I practically need a Clorox wipe for the iPad, as I’m almost drooling. If that doesn’t provide strength to you, don’t know what will! Stay well, and good for your governor to make the right move.
BTW, I’m having a spine strengthening and comforting White Russian, ala The Dude, as well as a nod to more carefree times. Amazing what smell and taste memories can do…

Ah yeah I’ve walked by that store. Beautiful ceramics but yes a bit expensive. I would be afraid to eat on them!

same here!
They were taken over by new owners. I used to exchange gifts from there for years with my sister. I have a wonderful collection. And a couple pieces from Italy that were made special. One of a kind . Priceless.

IMHO Rao’s is worth every cent. I used to order it by the case before it came to grocery stores.

I was thinking Bel Canto, too. There was one in Brookline and also in other Greater Boston towns. They had great whole wheat crust and overall it as a great place.

Fabulous absolutely …
Think I shall make a Tortilla Española with potatoes and onions tomorrow …
The main difference is the format and the ingredients. And perhaps the height …
I have not made a fritatta in ages, however, looks easy enough ! I shall look at some of my Italian cookbooks and see how they créate the format …
