Lunch out with my Mom after her bi-weekly beautification day.
One of our favorite places, NOT DH's, so he stayed at home
This is one of their specialties, half - sandwich, soup or salad - pick two.
I had looked ahead and knew that their Mushroom Soup was on deck today, one of our faves!
And then a half sandwich, rare Steak - thinly sliced, Bleu Cheese crumbles, roasted Red Peppers, Red Onions, Lettuce & Tomato (which I gave to Mom, she said it was very good `maters) and a gorgeous Herbed Mayonnaise, all on their wonderful house Sour Dough Bread.
It's alot of food for less than $13USD.
I added a glass of local White Wine for Moi, a blend of what I have no idea, but it's very nice and capped off that lunch perfectly for me.
It was a breath-takingly beautiful day, so we sat out on their patio.
On the way out, we got Mom a slice of Apple Crumb Pie, she's in piggy heaven.
This place started off as a artisanal bread shop and progressed into nirvana. I could eat here every day, for at least one meal (maybe even all three) a day!

Fresh Gulf of Mexico Grouper tomorrow night!
That's the best bit.you need to make the Chip Butty as soon as you sit down at the table so some of the butter melts in to the chips
Of course, what you should really do is slop the ketchup on top of yesterday's Daily Mail (or Mirror, or Sun) and dip yer chips in it.

Jacket potatoes with a spicy chickpea salad, baked cauliflower and sprouts.
Roast pork has more flavour when hot/cooked I find, i.e. becomes fairly bland when cold (at least to me)! I'm 75 so not sure if it's my age/palate but I also have lost my sense of smell which is involved in taste.
Creamy, tangy pasta sauce!
Last night I improvised on making a pasta sauce and, since it was delicious I thought I'd share the ingredients here. (A photo would not do it justice since the sauce part is mostly under the pasta.)
Boursin - capers - slow grilled (halved) baby plum tomatoes - chopped tender stem broccoli - pulled ham hock (bought) but would work with flaked cooked white/smoked fish and the farfalle (bow shaped) pasta.
Heat a large pan of water for the pasta. Meanwhile, I turned down a heated grill to a very low setting and placed the halved baby plum tomatoes, cut side up, to cook and dehydrate a little (concentrates flavour).
When the pasta is added to the salted water, to another pan - containing 1-2" of boiling water, I added chopped tender stem broccoli (on a medium heat) to semi-steam. Ensure it doesn't overcook - best al dente and still vibrant green.
When the pasta is almost cooked, I add a fair amount of boursin (to 3 oz of pasta about a third of the packet) stirred into the broccoli and their small amount of vegetable stock. Capers, first rinsed, to taste and then stir in the tomatoes. Lastly the ham (or fish). Add the drained pasta to this and mix in well.

That cauliflower is gorgeous!

1.5 kilos of roast potatoes were eaten on Sunday so not a lot of potato left for binding meaning a very rustic bubble n squeak from Mr SSOAP for lunch today.
With a pile of pickle it was delicious all the same.

I had some broccoli and mushrooms that needed eating up so this evening I had broccoli cheese with mushrooms cooked in garlic butter with a side helping of some scrumptious lamb chops!
The leftover broccoli cheese will be for my lunch tomorrow so 2 birds with 1 stone and all that.

Tovala meals of polenta with mini sweet peppers, and mix of meatballs and Italian sausage. Craig ended up with a third of mine, maybe a little more. It was 1 of their better meals.
