I miss the ~$12-13 sandwiches - the prices of many good sandwiches is more approaching ~$15-17 range
Yup. @linguafood’s 12.95€ sandwich translates to $14.79USD.

Today’s lunch was a shrimp salad. I brught some canned shrimp recently to have in the pantry so I can toss some in a salad for lunch on the days I work in the office. I used to do this when I first started working and it was a nice lunch on a hot summer day. Sadly the shrimps were mushy so I will have to find a new favorite brand.

Ground chicken picatta meatballs over buttered egg noodles, leftovers reheated from yesterday. Fresh fruit on the side. Temperature is back up to mid-70-degrees deck meals weather and the Canadian fires smoke has cleared out.

After a lovely morning at the beach, another lunch on the patio: local tomatoes, olive oil, salt, basil. So simple, so good. And a slice each of leftover pizza from our arrival night.
Now a lil siesta is called for…

Our final lunch at the tiny house 
A tomato salad with most of the basil we had left & a little bit of the grated local cheese we used on the linguine last night, just dressed with olive oil & seasoned with salt (no pepper in the house).
A coupla slices of ciabatta with Robiola and prosciutto.
And finally, finishing up the strawberries and almost all the Fage

Had an idli craving so decided to venture back to a local Indian restaurant called Namaste which we had given a wide berth for a while after a disappointing fish curry experience. Idli for me, plain dosa for the kid. Followed by:
Chicken liver fry - very nice.
Chicken dum biryani - not a good version. Definitely just a quarter chicken in an ok marinade stuck into a bunch of overcooked basmati and smashed into a serving dish. It tasted OK but I wouldn’t order it again. Brought most of it home.
My son is preternaturally gifted at ordering in restaurants. His spicy mutton fry and biriyani rice were both excellent. He let me try some. We got an extra order of the mutton fry to take away.

Habit Burger sent me a coupon for a free double cheeseburger, with a $3.00 purchase. I don’t really like their burgers, too well done for me, but I’ve been wanting to try their “tempura” green beans. The beans were pretty good! Crisp, not greasy, just needing a little salt. The burger, about the same as last time. I didn’t want the full 1500+ calories, so I ate part of the burger and some of the beans.

Another 24 hour on-call. This week has been hectic and I’ve finally run out of steam with my home prepped meals to bring to work. So I nipped down to M&S which has a small food shop in the hospital foyer.
This is equivalent to half my daily calories and is quite high in fat and salt. No wonder it tastes nice!

Incredibly mediocre lunch back at our hotel, after learning that neither of the two fabulous panini recs from our Argentinian friend are open on Sunday, then sweating our way through the insufferably hot town to a place my PIC had found, but that apparently switched its main focus on smash burgers. That’s a hard no for me at those temps.
My PIC got a ham & cheese toast with weird fried potato bits, I had the fennel salad with orange, smoked salmon, yogurt & chives. Bland, chewy, blah.

Yup. Food-wise, it’s not been our most revelatory trip so far. I will say — apart from the shitty food at the hotel — that the heat is a major issue for me: my PIC and I always joke about how skinny we’d be if we lived somewhere warm. It just completely destroys my appetite, and today at 33˚C is no exception
