What’s for dinner?

 penel:

My dessert was from a pastry shop near my neighbourhood with delicious sugar-free, low-fat creations: I chose a "yogurt-forest fruit" pastry, which is a mousse with strained yogurt, core of strawberry and blackberry coulis and pistachio dacquoise, coated with vanilla miroir.

That looks extremely delicious and beautiful! 

On a side note, I have similar blue cutlery and every time I use it my food presentation looks on point. Have you guys had similar experiences?

Dinner - Burrata with tomato salad in balsamic vinegar,  tekkamaki, salmon and cheese uramaki, cucumber rolls and miso soup. ^^

Sounds delicious!  The dessert was a work of art. Thank you for sharing!❤️

I finally found a photo from the restaurant's menu with many dishes. Mine was similar to the one in the middle:

The last couple of years I use white, plain cutlery.
Before the pandemic, when we had family or friends for dinner I used a light gray with silver coloured decorations cutlery set that made everything seem more stylish and delicious!

I’ve done the same thing-white plates. ^^ I have some Blue Willow plates I inherited from my grandmother for special occasions as well as some German plates made at a potter’s we bought in Germany which we use at Christmas.  

I would totally order that stunning salmon and rice. ❤️

I bought chilli cheese sourdough from the bakery and paired it with Thai basil chicken and a garden salad with chickpeas. The bread was too die for, just a bit of butter and tasted like chilli heaven with a hint of smokiness. 

My oven has died on me. SO until I find a good one in my budget I am gonna be roasting food on my pan. 

(╥_╥) 

Right now....while trying to decide which drama to watch,......I'm having blue corn chips with guacamole, 2 hard-boiled eggs and on my 2nd Modelo. Later,....Baked Chicken.

Chicken skewers with Greek salad and some white table grapes.

Going to need to hear about some of your great vacation food! ❤️

Black beans, sautéed collard greens with onion, baked sweet potato. 

I baked the sweet potatoes in my Instapot. The skins turned soft but the insides were nice and creamy.  They took nearly 40 minutes to cook so not a great timesaver and I did miss the crispy outside.  Still good might try again next time with russet potatoes or Yukon Golds.
