What's for lunch?

[Dinner]

I got my 3x3 animal style with chopped chilies at In N Out, a side order of fries well done, and a root beer float.

[Dinner]

Coincidentally I happened to cook dinner last night because we were home and the girlfriend was otherwise occupied. (Most nights neither of us cooks dinner.) Penne pasta, chopped up sausage, and some vodka sauce thing. It wasn't awful. It was probably one of the more trying nights of my life.

Come on, my good man. It's hard to screw up pasta as long as you can boil water and remember to strain it when the timer goes off. Open jar of sauce, dump it on, and serve.

Sure, it's not gourmet but even drunk & befuddled 18 year old college kids manage it.

[Dinner]

Lunch at the newly opened Potted Pig in the shadow of the castle was:

Devilled chicken livers
White pollock on a bed of samphire and cockles. White wine was involved somewhere too.

Truly delicious! Also virtually all food is locally sourced and with proper provenance.

I also noted with interest that the place turns itself into a gin den in the evenings, with at least 30 to choose from on the menu. I shall be returning!

Oh, had some bara brith and coffee at Barkers around the corner for 'dessert'...

Mobius keeps coming up with interesting stuff I have to google to figure out what they are. In this round it was "samphire" ("an edible plant growing in coastal areas of northern Europe") and "bara brith ("a speckled bread of Welsh origin"). They do sound interesting just because they're something unique and different.

A jar of sauce? You're supposed to make it yourself.

[Dinner]

I usually do (well, I used canned tomato paste fir marinara but pesto I make from scratch) but I'm trying to make it as easy as possible for Lori.

Poor Lori will never be a pinball wizard.

Ah well, in which case this lunchtime at Garland's, we had Cawl Mamgu and their house speciality of 'Bloody Welsh Rarebit', which is a standard Welsh rarebit with bacon and black pudding under the cheese...

Samphire is really great.

[Dinner]

No lunch today.

[MOBIUS]

Lunch yesterday was at the Potted Pig again: Terrine for starters and a rare beef salad. The place is ****ing awesome!

Today was all you can eat sushi at Yo Sushi - oh my God did we get through a ****load of sushi!

[Thoth]

Beer, rum and more beer.

I ****ing love long weekends.

[Lorizael]

I made spaghetti. I hate you all.

[molly bloom]

Turkish bread, baba ghanoush, some delicious Turkish soup made with chillies and tripe and green vegetables. And a Greek yoghurt with honeycomb...

[Supr49er]

They're just hungry. When you're hungry, anything heated up smells pretty good - except fish.

[Dinner]

No lunch today. This seems to be a reoccurring theme.
