CC breakfast/lunch

[Funkyterrance]

Breakfast: Generally smoked salmon, drizzled with fresh lemon, freshly rough ground black pepper and cream cheese. Freshly squeezed Orange juice then a large cup, or two, of breakfast tea, brewed to strength. When I can't get the cook to make that I settle for a bowl of rice krispies.

Elevenses: cup of tea with ginger snaps.

Lunch. I get two choices
1) (Light Lunch snack) Pio Tosini Palma ham (have eaten Pio Tosini for years, won't try another). with sun dried and sun blushed tomatoes with a fine Chardonnay
2) (Heavy Lunch snack) Medium sliced Fillet steak (very rare) thinly layered with good quality paté topped with a Parmigiano-Reggiano salad, all in a freshly baked (but not hot) ciabatta. Washed down with a Gevrey Chambertin.

This sees me through to tea time.

compliments to your taste, this man enjoys life

Yeah that and he's older than my grandfather and so has time to enjoy life to the fullest. I was always envious of his descriptions though, maybe he's got an extra seat at the table...

To be honest, my table normally has a couple of guests for Breakfast, Elevenses, Lunch, Tea or even Dinner. Sometimes the same faces are there for days as they don't seem to want to leave!

I have 9 for Dinner tomorrow. We are opening with grilled Salmon (medium to well done) with balsamic glaze (goes sweet and a little crispy if placed under a fierce grill), followed by a salad creation I came up with some years ago that most say is unlike any salad they have ever tasted (and been bored with) previously. I now have to make almost industrial quantities to fulfil the requests for it. To go with this salad are fine whole Beef Fillets roasted with whole-Grain Mustard & Herb Crust (a real favourite of mine), sliced at the table freshly baked home made bread, warm (and unusually strong) Somerset Camembert, from a cheese maker I now count as a friend, for dipping the bread in. A very nice Louis Jadot Gevrey-Chambertin for those who like red (which should be everyone imo) and a passable Au Bon Climat Hildegard 2008 (Santa Maria Valley) Pinot Grigio for those who insist on drinking white wine.

I shall be in the Kitchen for some hours in the morning before breaking to watch the first half of the France v Wales match, then a quick change as guests will be arriving for and during the second half. As usual, Cook will take care of the final preparation and I imagine I will have a full house tomorrow overnight so will revert to the usual breakfast mentioned previously on Sunday.

oh, i love this pinot noir from the french cote de nuits region,
Louis Jadot Gevrey-Chambertin, last time i had it was on a japanes cruiseship

last night i trully enjoyed lamb from new zealand ( it wasnt fillet- but dont know the word in english)
i can only recommend to people to try lamb for a change

the appetizer was simple atlantik oysters from ireland- never had irish oysters before but they where great
( last time i had great oysters was in canada, victora at the oyster bar- u get a map where the oysters come from and choose)

but tell me guys, whats your favourite champagne?
i want to try something i havent had before

I am having an everything bagel, with herb and garlic cream cheese, bacon, cheese, egg and tomato for lunch, while I take my cc turns! what do you eat for breakfast or lunch while taking turns?

looks very similar to this one

the nicest bagel what comes into my mind is

a nice crusted sesame bagel, thin layer of philadelphia cream cheese, some capers and Red!! Onion,
a little bit of iceberg lettuce and finally the most important
some Gravlax, not smoked salmon
it has to be gravlax

if u dont have gravlax , try king crablegs instead (without onions , capers, lettuce- just plain)
delicious

[Funkyterrance]

I enjoy chevre and jam on a sesame bagel. All 3 are homemade, btw.

I can't play and eat at the same time... never learned how to walk and chew gum at the same time, so clicking and chomping prob won't work either..

Leftover cajun fries from Five-Guys. Great snack, even if it's horrible for you, ha.

What's five guys? Cajun fries sounds good though, I love spicy stuff.
Leftover black pepper chicken for me (Indian dish). Super hot. I used to work with a guy from India and he taught me how to cook a few Indian dishes. The first few times I ate over his house I could hardly eat the stuff as it was so spicy it made me sweat. Now I have a really hard time finding places to eat out that come close to my taste for heat.

If you put fries in a toaster oven on high heat they come back to life. You just need to watch them so they don't burn.

What's five guys?

~gasp~

Are you in a Forrest? We even got a few of them here now.
