I think you’d like Georgian Khachapuri with an egg on top.

Have you ever had Peinerli? It’s more of a Black Sea Greek thing. Basically a cheesy pizza boat without tomato sauce

Happy birthday;

Pienerli looks very good, but doesn’t seem to have egg.

Cornmeal griddle cakes, fried eggs, last of the leftover roasted tomato salsa, and salad…for health, of course :joy:

Dry-aged salad from two nights ago, with fresh bacon & a little shredded roti chicken added.

The salad aged much better than expected :sweat_smile:

A favorite Cantonese dish, pan-fried crispy noodles with seafood. I haven’t had it since before the shutdown, and my favorite Hong Kong cafe didn’t survive. The proprietors of this restaurant, Pho Le in Berkeley, are Vietnamese, and the seafood here was heavy on surimi and Vietnamese fish balls, not my favorites, with just one shrimp and two little calamari bits, no scallops or filet bits.

The owner of that Hong Kong cafe has closed and reopened in different locations about four times in the past 20 years, so maybe he’ll turn up again.

Technically breakfast as in my first meal of the day, but it had more of a lunch feel to me:

The last of the Peruvian chicken, aji verde, roasted taters & broc. Fridge clean-out lunch :blush:
