How are you eating during the virus lockdown?

I had pho. Oh so fragrant and hit the spot. Wolfed it down before I could take pictures, though. :P

Beef, with meatballs. I bought it. Don't have the energy to cook after work from Monday-Friday. I'm up early in the morning, but am not very hungry in the mornings.
 
HI:

Beef tenderloin with Cobb salad. +wine. Then a good chat with my BFF--decades of friendship.

cheers--Sharon
 
I have to say we are continuing to eat very well. Not sure what the coming months will bring however with the large potential for supply chain interruptions due to the second wave of Covid 19 which is surely coming. But I am fattening up just in case to weather the leaner months need be.

Last night I enjoyed grilled langostinos, grilled zucchini fresh from my friends garden, grilled onions and mushrooms, grilled sweet potatoes and fresh avocado in a big (no huge) salad. Very satisfying and so yummy. For dessert I had ice cream. Cookie Shake flavor. Yummmm.

And needless to say the company was perfect. Rather, purrrrfect.
 
I feel incredibly silly. We are having tacos tomorrow night for dinner. I don't care for shop bought tortillas. Except I don't have time to make mine on the same day so I made them tonight and it makes me a little sad that we're not eating them fresh. But I feel very hassled when I'm trying to roll fresh tortillas on the same day.

I'm a slow and steady tortilla roller so I peace out at night and roll them all.

Yes! The original Thai recipe calls for longans but IMO, it tastes so much better with rambutan. I prefer the canned ones. Hate eating fresh rambutan. It's such a pain trying to peel it and no matter what, there's always part of the seed still stuck to the flesh. And yes, there's coconut milk. It's pretty much the same recipe as sticky rice and mango. Oh, if you're a fan of durian, it tastes HEAVENLY with sticky rice!!
 
Bake and made a few things this week, but didn’t get pictures for everything.

spicy beef empanadas, Moco loco (no
rice because dh and I are all eating low-carb these couple of weels. I made keto flan (not pictured) and keto brownies with almond flour.

I made a super yummy snickers slice today. Its a raw vegan recipe...I'm about as far from vegan as one can get, but I love these kinds of recipes, plus I try to cut out refined sugar wherever I can, yet don't deny myself the odd treat! This is cashews, coconut oil, rice malt syrup, dates, oats, peanut butter, tahini, vanilla, salted peanuts and dark chocolate, in 3 layers. And it totally tastes like a snickers!!

i must admit the attraction of the sour cream was they were eaiser to stuff than cream cheese
