What's for lunch (2026)

Had some bidness in the burbs today, wash car/return stuff to Costco and return the power washer my sister lent me, so I popped into a Balkan deli for some burek. Cheese on the left and spinach on the right.
Beauty day so I ate it on the deck, hopefully this weather is here to stay.

Nothing terribly unique, standard 3:1 , evoo and chive vinegar. Add little mustard and a tiny bit of honey, a few small tomatoes. Blitz and strain. Depending on usage, after straining, I might add very finely chopped shallot and minced basil or marjoram, never make exactly the same way twice!

I was positively stahving after a strenuous leg day at the gym, so I was very much looking forward to our Friday taco flight from our favorite taco purveyor. Not so much of a “flight” today, as he was out of our beloved pork and brisket.

3 Cajun shrimp tacos it was.

Big boy brunch on this miserable Saturday afternoon. :frowning:
3 eggs scrambled with feta, reheated leftover hot Italian sausage and crisped up spinach & cheese burek.
This could be my main meal of the day. :sweat_smile:
