Thanks.

You're welcome! I think I first had it grilled as part of the lunch special at Her Name Is Han. This smoked one would make a killer onigiri.

Same here.   Google is the friend to more than callow food writers.

[Sneakeater]

Who’s saury now?

[voyager]

You here all week, right?

Tip your fishmongers.

The Brazilian cafe around the corner from my office has opened up in the former Starbucks in our building, and the new space must be at least 3 times larger than the old once (with correspondingly higher prices).  For lunch today, I had one of their tapioca-flour crepes, filled with vegetable stew.

One reason I like to roast a whole chicken is for the leftovers.  So this version I did the other night, led to this:

Chicken salad sandwiches on Pain d'Avignon's country bread. Potato salad with the leftover roasted red and yellow potatoes. Crudité and cornichons.

It may have been a mistake to eat this in the middle of the day. I am logy. Also, this is two servings, and wouldn't you know it, I was able to finish them both.

Oh, the shad roe is here? I need to pay more attention.

[small h]

I was quite surprised, 'cause it seems early.

Went on an ad hoc food crawl down 24th Street in the Mission with a small group of folks, so lunch was a mash-up of (shared) atol de elote and pan de elote, pastrami on rye, chocolate babka, pupusas, pizza, chicken pastelitos, suadero tacos, and very authentic chicharrones.

Kale shakshuka. I feel very healthy right now.

Lunch on the first day of Shavuot - Dorie Greenspan's Lower East Side Brunch Tart. Cream cheese, lox, onions, capers, tomatoes, and dill in a custard filling. I decided to try my hand at a yeasted tart dough.

 

[MitchW]

Good job!

[Wilfrid]

That looks great but I am the guy who would make that filling in a dish without the pastry crust. And maybe I will.

Yesterday's lunch: Chilled Zucchini Soup (A Grant Achatz recipe) and BBQ Chicken Legs with Homemade Pasta Salad

In the East Bay, there are 2 dueling hot dog franchises: Casper's and Kasper's.  I believe the K version was the original, with the C version coming into existence due to a family feud.  We have a vintage Casper's in my town, complete with original sign, that is sadly closing next month due to the owner retiring (all of the stands are franchised now).  Since I was downtown today, my lunch was a chili dog.

we don’t have a dedicated thread for afternoon tea, so i’m posting this here.

hubby’s 66th birthday was a few days ago, so we celebrated this afternoon at a teahouse. there were some lovely sandwiches (cucumber/radish, turkey/sundried tomato, egg salad/mango curry) and blueberry-lavender scones with devonshire cream and strawberry jam.  some other hors d’oeuvres whose components escape me rounded out the menu, along with a tray of mignardises. i have included shots of the menu for your browsing pleasure.

Happy birthday to your husband.
