What's for lunch? (2025)

[Stef_bakes]

Quick ramen noodles with mushrooms. Recipe from Ottolenghi Comfort. Maybe his quick but it took me about 40 minutes. This is a delicious dish just spiced right. I would maybe add some shrimp next time.

Today’s lunch was a Thai style red lentil coconut soup. The recipe is from one of my soup cookbooks and this was the first time I tried it. Not bad but it could have been spicier .

The NY Times posted a recipe for non-stir polenta the other day, and I’m certainly going to try it soon. Gift link, I think.

No-Stir Polenta Recipe

I have a subscription, but I’m sure those who don’t will appreciate!

I have no plans of making my own polenta. I’m just not a big fan of the texture. But if @Amandarama were serving hers to me I’d def have some

That is a Paula Wolfert recipe which I have made many times, can highly recommended it. I generally use an oval Le Crueset that has a large surface area which makes for cheeesy goodness.

Here’s another NY Times no-stir polenta approach, using either the oven or the microwave. Another gift link:

Just think of it as a cheese delivery device

[linguafood (Natascha)]

I can groove to a cheese delivery service. It also sounds like a fab business idea

The cheesy grits recipe portion of this Budget Bytes BBQ meatballs and cheesy grits recipe uses quick 5-minute grits and is wonderfully smooth textured. And easy.

“House Special Lo Mein” frittata - wheat noodles stir fried with chicken, BBQ pork, shrimp, carrots, rehydrated lily buds, and rehydrated shiitake mushrooms turned into frittata. Very pleased I managed to flip it and get back in the pan (and back out again) in one piece! Hot sauce at the table.

Easter sunday brunch Ukrainian style

Dry-aged salad

[ernie_in_berkeley]

Asparagus and brie omelet, breakfast sausages, tater tots. The sausages, cooked in the skillet, were a little dry compared with the ones I air fried a couple of weeks ago. I should have popped them in the air fryer with the tots.

B&E, side of toasted Eng/Muff

[Nannybakes]

Spanish tortilla, homemade mayo, caviar.

“Triple threat ice cream”, sour cream/lemon, peach, banana.

The Last of the Deviled Eggs.

SADZ. I really should make them more often. So tasty, not to mention popular

Cold roast filet leftover from Easter dinner. I like this more today than I did yesterday.

Today is quickly turning into a proper Monday , so a lil extra fortification was needed:

two slices of my friend’s sourdough, Wegmans’ scallion cream cheese & rosemary ham.

Noice.

Left over lamb ragu. It was surprisingly very good. A recipe I found on Jamie Oliver’s site.

[Amandarama (Amanda)]

A very brown, but very delicious lentil soup with shell pasta and a young Parmesan to stir in. Using up stuff from the freezer - this was from New Year’s Day. BF has what we are hoping is a final interview for a promising job opportunity, so perhaps a little New Year’s luck will help!
