I just picked up my CSA today. It's going to be a stir fry night!

Bit and pieces from the last few days.
Flaming Chook 2.0 Gamenight. Posted it before but apparently it's even better second time around. Someone likes her jalapeno poppers.
Mine was a chicken bacon burger with ranch dressing. Ranch is uncommon here.
Loved it and not a chicken or bacon fan. Wife didn't think much of it oh well. They do nice fried chicken. Not greasy not dry.
And finally tonight's effort. Peppered shredded chicken on fresh warm home made bread with jalapeno poppers.

In this heat wave, we'll be having a lot of barbecue.

Must be nice. Potential snow to sea level from Monday. Curry time.

New Zealand, or Australia?
Actually, people are pretty worried. It is only June, and all time highs will probably be broken on Sunday. I've already let my daughter know that we won't be having the big mortars we usually get on the 4th, and if things don't get better soon, we won't even have the small fountains.
I love fireworks, but it isn't worth setting the woods on fire.

NZ.
Went back to our local from two weeks ago to sample new menu and revised older items. Brunch instead of breakfast.
Roast vege salad with feta and bacon and beetroot hummus. Managed to sneak some very nice.
Mine was Madam Crochet. No idea what it means but it was egg and ham served on fried ciabatta loaf with some sort of cheese. Was delicious but not very filling.
So I ordered a side. Apricot and pistachio loaf lightly toasted with butter.
Was very very good.
Not overly full once I left but wasn't after a huge meal anyway so worked out well. Place was busy with lots of reservations for lunch (we went 11am).
Washed down with a flat white coffee.

Sounds and looks delicious!

It was skipped dinner but might be having a late one.
Went to Red Lobster for the first time in over a year with a friend tonight, in order to consume cheddar bay biscuits. Oh yeah, and some seafood.
RL isn’t the greatest place, but those bisc are ridiculous. And they’re one of the few places around here serving fried clams- a favorite of mine- and they also serve scallops, another fave that’s hard to find, though not so rare as clams. For many years, I’ve had them modify a plate they offer that has both and other seafood to be entirely clams & scallops.
Well, apparently, I’m not alone, because their reworked menu now includes both on their “build your own” platter which had previously contained neither. So I opted for that, scallops and double clams, just like I would have done on the modified plate.
What I hadn’t realized was that the portions on the BYO were LARGER than on what I used to get. For the first time, I had to take leftovers home.
