I think “Fire Bum” is a better name full stop!

You and I both 
I’m experiencing severe mâche envy
Peak greenmarket approaches.
Nowhere to be found in the boonz where I reside…. although I could check in FL, where I’m resting my weary bones for a few days.
Otherwise I go a bit crazy on mâche while in Berlin, where you can get it at any market or supermarket pretty much all year round.

Pâté en Croûte , tomato concassé …better known as meatloaf in pita with marinara. A side of small elbow macaroni, baby zucchini, basil and Parmigiana.
The meatloaf is the turkey version with red wine recently in the NYT, very moist and delicious. It tasted especially good as it was made by our son and donated to a worthy cause.
Almond cake for dessert when it cools down.

Looking forward to the almond cake !
We took a trip to Titusville today for lunch, on the recommendation of our lovely hostess. Dixie Crossroads is apparently the first restaurant to popularize rock shrimp, which are almost the sole reason for my visit every year… well, almost 
The server was super-friendly & brought us a little tray of fried cornbread with powdered sugar.
I tried one and thought it was lacking actual corn kernels, plus dessert is not my idea of an appetizer. My PIC snarfed a bunch of them down, OTOH. He loves that stuff.
We got 2 dozen broiled rock shrimp with butter & lemon; additional pimp-out options were garlic, Old Bay (no thx, that stuff ruins everything it touches for me), or blackened. I really like the sweet flavor of rock shrimp & don’t think they require any pimping.
We chose clam chowder and Caesar from the ‘premium’ sides.
The clam chowder was excellent — an ample amount of clams, tender potatoes, and clearly homemade. Even better with the addition of their house-made habanero sauce, of which we took a bottle home, whereas the Caesar dressing was def bottled & the croutons from a bag. Meh.
Overall a lovely lunch. And now the sun is out again after a rainy morning, so we’ll nap it off at the pool

I rarely eat lunch, but was digging through the freezer looking for a picanha and found some fairly old tuna steaks (vac packs, so no freezer burn, though).
I’m trying to low-carb it so I made “chips” by frying a buttered, low-carb tortilla (I think after the manipulated starches and fiber add-ons, it only has 1 net carb).
The sauce recipe was good but the tuna was so old that it had very little character in terms of bite. Not quite mush, but not great.
Lesson - stop letting seafood get shoved to the back.

Salmon fillet with tomato green bean salad. The salad was dressed with an evoo, red wine vinegar, grainy mustard dressing.

Back to reading at the pool now

Greek salad with halloumi because that’s what I had. Paired with iced tea today because I’m pretending it’s spring.

Lunch-y/brunch-y scrambled eggs with hot Italian sausage(from last nights dinner and leftover pizza with a blob of leftover tomato sauce that I saved specifically for this meal.
Kind of a strange combo of flavors, but it was real tasty.

Can’t stop, won’t stop. We drove the half hour to Titusville again for a rock shrimp feast — when in Rome
I opted for the house salad today, since the Caesar salad was such a disappointment, and chose oil and vinegar to dress the salad myself.
Much better choice! We also got the clam chowder again, and my PIC went to town on the corn fritters with which they start you off 
Ordered 3 dozen this time bc Ima glutton, but we couldn’t finish them. 10 critters (and the rest of the fritters) came home with us

A haphazard plate of various leftovers: nuked the asparagi, toaster-ovened the sea critters, and plopped some of that harlicky tzatziki for dippin’ the green peens.
