Lunch should have its own thread

[UnderOpenSky]

Turkey mince lasagne from the freezer at home as made a big one at the weekend. Not exactly healthy eating, but at least I brought my own lunch to work.

Croissants with squares of dark chocolate inserted then warmed in the microwave

Fish sarnie and a can of fizzy fruit punch KA.

Not sure what name to give it, but it was leftover roast potatoes fried together with three eggs. Guess if I’d mixed the eggs together it would’ve been an omelette, so let’s go with that.

Interesting, did you do the potatoes for quite a bit before the eggs? Did you add onion and/or garlic ? Some grated cheese would have been good but that's just me

Not so long - they were already well cooked through having been oven roasted, so they crisped up well when fried. Didn’t add onion or garlic, but that would have lifted it a bit for sure. For a next to zero effort lunch to use up extra eggs it was a good option.

I do enjoy detailed data, thank you

The potatoes had been parboiled 10 mins then roasted slow and long - 175C for the first half hour, then turned and lowered to 160C for another 30 mins, then finally turned again at 150C for the last half hour, to get a thick crispy outside and soft fluffy inside.

The frying pan was 18cm diameter and with an ilag nonstick coating. The hob was induction and set to 6/10 to begin with, then lowered to 5 once the eggs were cracked in.

A pre ground pepper mix of black, green and pink peppercorns was applied just before serving. The plate had recently been rediscovered in the attic of my wife’s family home…. Etc..

Love the cherry coke. Or at least diet version of it. Although as I moaned about in another thread I split the side of a can this morning and it ended up all over my face and the kitchen.

Anyway lunch is lasagna. With a cherry pepsi max.

I had

Foraged Puffball mushrooms cooked in butter with garlic
A few slices of Italian salami diced and aded to the pan
A couple of oven baked new potatoes left over from last night, sliced and added to the mushrooms with oil and higher temperature so it all went a bit crispy
Seedlings (radish alfalfa red clover cress mustard)
Topped with seaweed and seeds (hulled hemp sesame sunflower pumpkin)
Dressed with toasted sesame oil and some artisan soy sauce that really is worth the extra ££

I had cheese and mayo to hand in case of need but the dish was tasty and hit the right spot.



Ive been eating puffball mushrooms all weekend. Today I’ve cut the remaining 4 for drying. I suspect I’ll use a few of the big white discs for my tea this evening too. They’re so beautiful and tempting.

 

[sojourner]

They smell absolutely amazing too eh story ? Obviously, very mushroomy, but there's also a delicate sort of lilac (the colour) scent to them too, if you know what I mean. There's a very subtle perfumey smell to them.

I had a fish sarnie and a can of Dr Pepper.
