I made a single serving microwave hot and sour soup that was surprisingly good, using a large fresh shiitake mushroom, no tofu and a whole egg. I’m sure the tofu would have better lasting-till-dinner power.

Ordinarily I am a fan of Central Market, but today I was at a lunch meeting that offered CM boxed lunches. I had a turkey sandwich and chips. The chips were excellent. The sandwich was weird. Two not particularly good or bad slices of wheat bread contained a not horrid leaf of lettuce, a fine large slice of tomato, a slice of havarti, and over an inch of sliced turkey. There was no mustard, mayonnaise, butter, or special sauce, just an immense pile of turkey.

I’ve had lunch 4 times in 2 weeks - kind of a record for me lately (last few years, I mean).
This was another wrap. Lupini bean hummus down one side, a “extra veggie” cream cheese down the other, (Tillamook, ordinarily wouldn’t buy but half price sale, decided “why not” and like it quite a bit), warmed medium rare ribeye steak slices and avocado down the middle, drenched with a bit of jalapeno cheese dip (another non-normal “half price” buy). The lupini bean hummus was much coarser this time because I used the mini food processor. It just doesn’t have the juice to really get it smooth. I might try my Dremel as a driver next time.
It was pretty good, but it was really missing the nice tart crunch of kimchi that I had in my other sandwich. I need to make more kimchi…

Bastardized version of Dishoom’s chilli cheese toast. Seen here with havarti cheese, spicy green sauce and a bialy.

Half of an Asian Slaw salad kit from Taylor Farms with the addition of the last of the rotisserie chicken (hence dark meat) and the most perfectly flawless avocado ever seen.

Went with tapas-like meals for lunch and dinner today. Lunch was Manchego, membrillo, and Marcona almonds with two dots of a slightly aged balsamic; some rolled prosciutto, and green grapes.

Love it.
A burger worthy of a boa constrictor.
Well done sir, well done.
