Proofing dough for pizza day tomorrow. 3 cups flour, 1 cup pulverized cheeze-its with real sharp cheddar thrown in. Threw in some tomato paste and msg for good measure. Wish me luck!
What's for dinner?

So it came out edible. While the flavors were good, the dough was extremely dense. The lesson here is that this would have made a far better buttermilk biscuit dough.

Trendy-ish sammich place near me called Pasture PDX. I've had their Italian, cubano, also braised beef and peppers and they're all amazing. Today I went for the house smoked pastrami banh mi. Just look at all that chili oil. Mmmmmmmmmm.

Damn the next Bahn mi I make is going to have chili oil and chili crisp in it.

It was outstanding with the pastrami. Only criticism is that it's the messiest sandwich ever. I can't decide which to prioritize, a nap or a shower.

Last night's Wife's Birthday HotPot. Served by a CAT-ROBOT!
Pic taken mid-meal, a lot already eaten, such as the full plate of Salmon Sashimi, spinach noodles and more.
The meat dish in the centre of the pic is LAMB. Normally hotpots are like 1 or 2 large pots for everyone to share.
My first time at this restaurant; and I can count on one hand for having individual hotpots before (in Taipei, buffet style — never any individual pots in HK). SSSSoooo I figured the portions would be commensurate with the itty-bitty personal hotpots and ordered accordingly — WRONG!
Just wee three and my wife's vegetarian and my Mom eats like a bird and the portions came for three or four of size:me (I can eat a lot)... Mom filled up on shrimp-paste balls in no time (yet lamb being a favourite of hers) and of course my vegetarian wife... so... after my having already had noodles, onion cake, salmon, tarot and... more —
I finished the two meat plates on the right, the cubed meat in the little bowl and started in on the lamb...
The lamb-plate I swear was deceptive, a DOUBLE portion (the waitress confirmed after the meal that the chefs just looked at the order of "3 People" and didn't take into account the vegetarian or the 86er...
I finished two more quail eggs, ghost donut and onion cake (goes great with the beef) and was about half-way through the lamb when the MEAT SWEATS set in and 2/3 in when my wife stopped me.
Surprisingly, I wasn't uncomfortable, 100% full to be sure but not in pain or agony... still...
I *#$%^&* HATE FOOD WASTE.
I was okay, 'til I dropped off my Mom and had a single Purdy's caramel dark-chocolate... it was NOT wafer thin.
Actually, I really was okay. Got to sleep, no heartburn, no weird dreams, today ... fine.
I guess my wife stopped me in the nick of time.
Going back there in future with more people and ordering less.

I haven't had hot pot since my wife had to stop eating onions/garlic a few years ago. It was such a date night thing.... I need to just take myself sometime soon. No shame in a lonely hot pot.

I'd join you if I could... I'm kind of stuck here at the moment.
Travelling to Canada any time soon?

Open-faced omelette with spinach (blanched) and feta, capsicum sautéed in sweet balsamic-vinegar and a pinch of dill picked fresh from the garden.
Just generic hum-drum coffee in my Small Bear mug, but the sesame-sourdough buns are homemade, lightly toasted.
I was tempted to add black olives and sun-dried tomatoes to the omelette, but decided against it (mainly for myself, but my wife tends to favour simple non-complex flavourings so I knew she'd appreciate the less-is-more). Didn't want to overpower the flavours already in play, and besides the feta has enough salt on its own. Wasn't sure about adding the dill, but my wife had already picked it for me and it was quite good!
Placemat was woven by my wife, the black fabric being spun by her from our dog Sasha's hair.
For those of you who've followed Sasha's exploits in the pet-thread:
You can see her right rear leg has healed nicely and the hair filled back in all but for a thin strip right on the incision-line from the operation.
She needs a good grooming, but...
Sasha enjoyed the omelette, too!

What's not for lunch? I was looking into checking out this sandwich spot but then I saw that they charge separately for pickles, onions, AND, hotsauce? GTFOH. I would never eat there out of principal. I don't care what you did to that onion, I'm not paying your little flavor tax.
My father told me before that a lot of places in England are all itemized like that. Not sure how accurate that is- we were there in the 80s and I was little.
I’m making Tacos.
My daughter like them super basic:
Corn shell, seasoned ground beef, a bit of shredded cheddar.
On mine I’ll add some romaine and some of my buddy’s Cherokee tomatoes gifted to me
