What have you had for lunch lately?

[Kathleen]

Prosciutto, pepperoni, and Italian dry salami. white cheddar, Castelvetrano olives, Spanish olives, peaches, cantaloupe, red cherry tomatoes, multigrain crackers, and chocolate-covered cranberries. The base of this lunch was a Columbus Craft Meats Tasting Board that I found at a Sam's Club. It was pretty good, but I could buy better at my local deli.

AND a seafood fork that I grabbed to fish olives out of the jar and simply kept it.

I cooked a local speciality today (Benevento province), an all-in-one two course meal.
I hope this translation makes sense:

" Stuffed Flank Steak Pocket in tomato sauce"

We had fresh fusilli (store bought) with the tomato sauce and then slices of meat for afters.
A simple stuffing :breadcrumbs mixed with beaten egg, parmesan, chopped garlic, parsley, salt and pepper.

A slow-cooking recipe, at least 2 hrs, so I cooked early this morning, avoiding the scorching heat.

We had BLTs and potato chips today. Tomatoes from the garden!

No, she is named after a spirited free folk that burned her house down on her husband turned wight then went "south as south can be".

The government agency is OSHA.

Picked up a beautiful zucchini from the local farmers market and decided to turn some of it into one of my favorite summertime treats - sliced fried zucchini served on my best fine china

That fried zucchini looks good. The absolute best preparation for zucchini IMO. Serving it on your finest dinnerware makes it even more enticing.

Love that china! My very favourite kind.

Love that china! My very favourite kind.

Isn't it beautiful? And it cleans itself! No washing necessary.

 

[dragnlaw]

I will admit, it's not my everyday china. Only for special occasions!

 

[msmofet]

I had a late lunch of tuna salad and arugula (instead of lettuce) on seeded semolina Italian bread and tomato salad. So will probably just have a snack later.

 

[dragnlaw]

Tomato and Cheese sandwich - simple and hit the spot.

Well now, here's a shocker.
I just finished a "Grill Dog" by Pillsner. I am completely flummoxed. Blood pressure dropped so bad I could hardly stand. When I did, I was so wonky hanging on to the furniture to move around. My brain left and was on another planet.
This has been happening all week whenever I ate one of them and it just didn't dawn on me what was causing it. I've eaten this type often lately and I honestly don't remember it happening before, or connecting it to something like that.
Put the wonkyness down to long trip, etc, etc... never food!
Guess what I'm never having again!

Oh, how scary. I'm glad you figured it out. I'm glad you seem okay now.

It took a little while, but eventually you figured out that your body was saying, "Don't eat that!"

I bought some of those frozen burger puck things that go from the freezer directly to the grill. I just cooked one. The instructions were accurate, as the burger cooked perfectly. But, it tasted awful. I ate half, and tossed the other half in the trash.

Guess what I'm never having again!

That's too bad casey. More often than not that is my go to burger and I love them.

 

[msmofet]

Lunch was a chili burger (with homemade chili, spicy brown mustard, and raw onion).

Sorry to hear that, hope you recovered quickly, must have been scary. It's strange though, that the burger caused this.
