Mmmmm, Pequods. Deep dish pizza with German beer on tap, cooked out of somebody’s house. The best!

Fried Green tomatoes. The most challenging thing about this dish is that because of procrastination, I’m often frying reddish green tomatoes.

What’s the recipe?
Thinking they might be a good candidate for the air fryer.

Slice tomato, beat an egg and some (three healthy squirts?) mustard together, dipped each slice, dredged in Italian seasoned panko, fried in a pan coated with grapes seed oil, not oil of any depth, but enough to cover the pan. Fry until browned. The tomato I used was maybe the size of a baseball? I glanced at online recipes, but they seemed to average a dozen ingredients, and I just wasn’t ready for that kind of commitment.

That definitely sounds like a candidate for an air fryer! Thanks!

Call me simple-minded, but this amuses me every time. A slice of bread, with some brothy soup and heated in the microwave, becomes…a SUPER SLICE of bread! Adjacent slice from the loaf, on right, provided for size comparison.

Was he “hangry”? He’s in the right thread now.

Funnily enough when I saw this I was just driving trollies my daughter with the vegan gluten free breakfast burrito from the local yoga cafe (which despite how that previous sentence sounds is a giant breakfast roll of carbs and tangy deliciousness. And beans of course) while on the way to buy chillies to make sriracha. Not that there aren’t dozens of brands to choose from all over the shops. Just because I want to.
So we started last night:
I’ll report back in a couple of weeks.

She got the bus in to share a burrito with me for lunch today and we had a blast. And some Brazilian cassava cheese dough balls too. Which I must make again as we liked them so much we bought take out. Now gone

That’s 600+ grammes of chillies in a 1L jar for scale btw.

Mentaiko pasta. One of my favorite comfort foods of all time. Just spaghetti, olive oil, butter, red pepper, garlic, seasoned pollack roe and some nori.
It’s not the prettiest dish in the world, though it’s a lot more pink than in the photo, but it’s quick to make and so so good.

Love that stuff! I just recently got back from a trip to Japan. I brought back a tub of mentaiko butter spread as a quickie shortcut for making that.

Oh I haven’t heard of mentaiko butter. That sounds pretty convenient. Plus I bet that would be great on a slice of lightly toasted sourdough…
I use frozen roe I get from a Korean market which are pretty easy to work with, though I’ve never managed to get all the roe out of the sacks.

I do not have space for a smoker, but now I really want a smoker. That looks/sounds amazing.

Thanks! The Italian Meatball Meatloaf alone is pretty tasty and easy! Just take an Italian meatball recipe that you like and form it into a loaf. I topped it with a reduced tomato sauce but pesto would also be a great choice. I cooked until the internal temp was 165F.
ETA: smoking it added a little bit of flavor, but roasting at a little lower temp was probably more important. 300 deg F instead of 350.

Neither did I until I saw it in a Japanese department store. It’s a little strong on toast but worked well with my breakfast.
I have to do Japanese food shopping this weekend. Now I will see if I find it in the US.
(Edit: no such luck at either Japanese nor Korean marts)
