Dinner party at friends of hubby in Paris. We brought patisserie.
1 -
A pork steak on a bed of summer squash (almost a zucchini), green beans, and some Asian radish w/red wine vinegar, garnished with a spiral cut cucumber. It ain't fancy, but it is dinner.

Food in Paris isn’t what it used to be. A salad Nicoise that wasn’t as nice as the ones I make myself.
2 -
Nothin exciting tonight. Just some grilled chicken, garlic green beans, stuffed mushrooms and potatoes. Oh and a roasted onion 🧅8 -
Salade sud ouest at the bistro next to the hotel. Fries from hubby’s meal.

Quorn Mozzarella & Pesto Escalope with Sweet Potato slices roasted in Truffle Pesto and the first Brussel Sprouts I’ve seen this year, lightly boiled and covered in Lemon Pepper. 😋

402 calorie pizza from the supermarket - it’s ok but doesn’t entirely hit the ‘I want pizza’ spot! 😂

A shared starter of crudités followed by gigot d’agneau. A lonely roast potato stolen from hubby’s plate.

some menus these days

When on vacation, I like to try the local calorie bomb. Aligot is not Parsian, but a regional side from the L'Aubrac region. It's mash loaded with a ton of cheese, creme fraiche and butter. We started with crudites and I had an onglet steak with a side of aligot which I didn't finish.

Green Bean & Potato Curry with a mini Naan. Much tastier than I’d expected! Wish I’d made more to put in the freezer!

Salade au thon poele (=salad with pan seared tuna).

Second last dinner in Paris. We went to a proper restaurant instead of a brasserie or bistro for a change. Shared starter of sauteed giroles with foie gras which we asked for separately. I had grilled octopus and the hubby and had the wild duck.

Air fried lamb chop with za'atar. Oven roasted sweet potato and Brussels sprouts coated in olive oil with pancetta, garlic, fresh rosemary & oregano.

Had to try another calorie bomb side from d'Aubrac of truffade. That's diced potato cooked in goose fat and smothered with cheese. Served with a green salad. It's not quite as decadent as aligot (also from d'Aubrac) where a typical recipe is 500g potato to 300g cheese, 200g creme fraiche and 5g butter. Truffade is 500g potato to 250g cheese and 5g goose fat.

Brunch today was steak, basted eggs with Frank's Hot sauce, whole-wheat toast with raspberry jam, crispy fried potatoes and a side of Hollandaise sauce! Mmm!😋

Dinner at a local Mexican restaurant while on a work trip. As a Texan transplant to the Midwest I try to keep my expectations in check. The flavor was mediocre but it was hot and fast so there’s that.6 -
Meat sauce over spaghetti, sautéed asparagus and bacon Caesar salad (from a kit). I usually use wild boar for my meat sauce unless I'm doing a bolognese or similar but the store was out of it so I got venison instead. Last time I had that was probably 25 years or more ago. For the sauce I used the venison, pancetta, onion, fresh rosemary, dried oregano and red wine (a blend of mostly cab). It tasted different but was still good.
