Yesterday we had some heavy snacks for lunch. Rosemary focaccia, salami, tatziki, hummus, cucumbers, grapes, grape leaves, roasted cherry tomatoes, and a few chips. We shared a double IPA that was pretty good.

Was inspired by @mariacarmen’s melting potatoes from WFD and made some. Easy and delicious. Also heated up a defrosted duck confit leg from the freezer and steamed some broccolini.

If I have gained weight lately it’s not hard to pinpoint the exact culprit. I got through 5 trays of figs in so short a time! Like asparagus, the fig season is so short.

With cheese, briefly under the grill.

Dipped in pure chocolate, then ground pistachio. Drizzled with honey and more pistachio. White flakes are coconut.

Mini Flammkuchen

A tray of figs, times 5.

Amazingly inspirational. Beautiful photos.

Thank you, señor Rooster. The extra calories are worth it.

What do you think of David Chang saying hothouse tomatoes are best for BLTs? I sooo disagree!

That is straight up blasphemy. I really reserve a BLT for when I have prime, fat heirloom tomatoes from my mom. Without a perfect tomato, I don’t see the point.

I didn’t know you guys have a thread specifically for lunch haha…

@Presunto your food pics are gorgeous! Am amazed with the dishes you cook for every week. I suppose you have easy access to the ingredients? Seems a little challenging since Singapore imports most of the raw ingredients from the neighboring countries.

Here’s my lunch today - salmon, scrambled egg (should have used two eggs instead of one), bacon, blanched broccoli, shiitake topped with freshly grated parmesan. If only I had some buttered toast on hand.
