very girl dinner vibes yesterday:

threw together a quick little soup of bok choy (I have 2 lbs!), homemade chicken stock, fish sauce, cracked black pepper, soy sauce, sesame oil. French fries, and mini crab cakes frozen from Costco (pretty good, I had low hopes).

Still tired from getting home from Amsterdam last night. I had to go into the office today too. Dead simple supper of Duch herring salad using the herring we dragged home. It’s missing the beetroot that hubby forgot to buy.

Monday, 10/13 … pretty simple - roast chicken, roast sweet potato, chopped salad. Actually, the salad is left from yesterday, you can tell since the red cabbage is coloring the cucumber and that takes time. As many of you know by now, multi-colored food is one of my general goals. Big storm in our Jersey Shore area today.

had to look up what "toby carvery" meant. very interesting. i can't think of anything near-ish to me roughly comparable.

now that we are swinging away from summer, i usually over-make my soups in the cool season, freezing a couple of portions for a quick microwave meal if needed. i try to cycle them every 2-3 months so they don't get old, and don't freeze cream-based soups.

Duck confit cooked a few weeks back in the sous vide pulled out of the freezer. Air fryer roast potato, sauteed cabbage, air fried mushrooms. Hubby had a late afternoon snack so didn't want any duck. I browned the other leg in the air fryer to take to lunch tomorrow with leftovers.
An afternoon snack of Dutch herring we dragged back from Amsterdam on the weekend. My only deviation was using red onion instead of white. I was in the habit of calling it working man's sushi.

My trusty bastardized “soupe au pistou” is an easy and tasty way to add a portion of veggies to dinner. Main was spag bol where the sauce was batch cooked with a buddy a few weekends ago and parked in portions in the freezer.

I also had not heard of Toby carvery - we have a wonderful BBQ pub similar.
And, have never compounded butters personally so was quite surprised when I ordered a toast with apple butter, lol
I love soups in fall and have been enjoying everyone's shares. I would like to attempt a savoury butternut squash.
Blackened & lemon peppered salmon, potatoes, corn coblet, tomatoes and a plum.

Bought lunch at my favorite local Mexican joint.

Couldn't figure out how to get my photos to save or how to delete my post...

Sauteed a mixed greens salad bag of kale, arugala, spinach and cabbage (reserved 1/2 for lunch salad) - then added portabella mushrooms, a little cheese, bacon bits and deli ham scrambled with an egg on 1/2 bagel.
Served with 2 xs tangerines and xxl coffee with a splash unsweetened almond milk.

Lunch with the other 1/2 of the bagel, saute veg & leftover peppered salmon. Added 2 oz fresh mozzarella & a plum. Tea plain.

vin and fromage
A little cheese and olive oil tasting at local spot.

Vegetable forward dinner. A bastardized Turkish salad where I didn't have feta and my mint plant was too pathetic to harvest much. Used olives instead of feta and what I could get off the potted mint with a drizzle of pomegranate molasses. Second course was air fryer mushrooms, grilled halloumi, courgette and a wedge of cabbage.

Duck breast with a tamarind glaze, rice pilaf, bok choy with a ginger sauce

Yum!
And from my wishlist, a purple potato roasted with vegs and chicken.
Cut veg tray before and apricot after.
Aside from color, it was a potato - enjoyed it.
— of note from a search using ai: Purple potatoes are rich in antioxidants, particularly anthocyanins, which can help reduce inflammation and lower the risk of chronic diseases. They also contain more potassium than other potato varieties and have a lower glycemic index, making them better for blood sugar control.

Roll your own hand rolls with mis soup, a dinner a half Japanese girlfriend taught me to as the family style way to serve sushi at home. We don't normally make dessert but we have guests tomorrow so shared a tester pumpkin tartlet I plan to serve Sunday after adding a pinch of salt added to the roast butternut squash and dulce de leche filling.

i make something like that fairly regularly. I enjoy the blue potatoes; the family less so, lol. Traditionalists all, they are! On my "perhaps someday" list is a trip into the Andean regions. I understand they have dozens of potato varieties we never see. Of course, there's the scenery and history/culture, too …

Yes, I could search the world to sample potatoes! Family refuses to do a rustic mash with skins in, although they will do twice baked in the jackets, LoL
Lunch was a dressed up chicken Ceasar salad - purple plum & cabbage, fresh mozzarella.

off tomorrow to Amsterdam. our day-1 in-port activity after arriving is heading over to the Van Gogh Museum, then around town. I took notes from above message, thanks.

If you find yourself in a bar for refreshments do order a plate of bitterballen as that is quite special and typically Dutch. Let the waiter advise you on a beer to wash that down with. I like summery Hoegarden, a Belgian wittebier(= white wheat beer). The Dutch drink beer on tap cold with a 2 cm head. Have a great time.

A visit to Peru is something for foodies. They were the first East meets West menu due to high immigration of Japanese and Chinese in the 1800s. I think Asian labour built their railroads. I remember hearing that wonton soup was a national dish. Not to mention Nikkei cuisine, the food of the Japanese diaspora in Brazil and Peru which is Japanese techniques but incorporating South America ingredients like chillies and coriander. Nikkei restaurants are very trendy in London at the moment. Peru also has one of the highest ratios of Michelin stars per capita in the world.

I note that you often show individual food items on a platter without combining or mixing. I think that this is a very positive approach not only for the culinary elements since good main ingredients stand on their own, but also from a calorie management standpoint since a larger volume of healthy low calorie ingredients do not always fit into a recipe and may overwhelm the more calorie dense ones when included in volume.
