A delicious, artery-clogging, super-fattening, ultra-high calorie lunch of Hong Kong style Russian Borscht and Baked Ox-Tongue with White Cream Sauce on Fried Rice Casserole…skipping dessert and having cholesterol lowering CRESTOR instead!!🤣

And back by request, Tepsi Kebabi, this time I used a meatloaf mix rather than lamb and a red pepper tomato sauce instead of the yogurt one, we liked the yogurt one better. The cool sauce with the hot meat was a pleasant contrast. Rather than cooking the veggies on top of the Kebabi, I baked them on the side which was an improvement.
Dessert was a very small chocolate soufflé.

That is my favourite kind of chowder! I didn’t realize until my 50s that chowder can be red. (I’m a late bloomer :rofl:) I recall going out for dinner with a friend about 6 or 8 years ago and she ordered a soup to start off with. I didn’t hear her place the soup order since I was distracted so when her soup arrived I asked her what kind of soup she ordered. She said it was clam chowder to which I replied “No it is NOT! Clam chowder is white!” Then she explained to me that there is New England clam chowder (the white one) and Manhattan clam chowder (the red one). I learn something new every day :grin:

When I was little my parents used to rent a cottage in Kennebunkport, ME so when we had chowder in Maine we got the creamed kind like the one you ordered. Yes we can get that exact same chowder in Canada but it tastes better when eaten in Kennebunkport :slight_smile: Some traditions die hard…

I like them both if they are done well. Seafood & tomatoes are a good combo, and Manhattan-style is lighter, of course, without the cream & bacon.

This was very filling, and I would’ve preferred the choice of just getting a cup.

Yeah, I usually get a cup of NE clam chowder as an appetizer, then a main if I’m going to go that way. And that’s a very nice looking clam chowder!

I was trying to remember if I liked the clam chowder we had in FL better… that one was also good, and the hot sauce choice there was better :smiley: Oyster House only has tabasco :confused:

Tragically, this the last of the mushroom gravy. On a poached egg, on avocado toast. Is this conventional? No. Is it pretty? Hell, no. Would I eat it again? In a heartbeat.

Used up the last of the beef stew - added potato, made serranos toreados, and turned the whole thing into tacos!

Pear-Comté Tart. Recipe is from Baking with Dorie. Pears and comté is made a match in heaven.

Agree, I have been known for sending back salads with oxidized (brown) lettuce and spinach tails when the server said their spinach has no tails.

Chicken salad in a freshly baked whole wheat bun. Commercial sweet potato tots. Naked spinach salad. Grape tomatoes, cucumber sticks. Cinnamon roll for dessert.

Polish style ham, Monterey Jack cheese, lettuce, Keen’s hot mustard and mayo on a super fresh Italian bun. Pringle-ish chips and garlic stuffed olives on the side.

I don’t care for raw spinach at all, which is why I never order spinach salads.

But any kitchen sending out brown or slimy lettuce DGAF about their food.
