food... again

Today's lunch... really hit the spot! Simple omelet- filling: sauteed onions, ham cubes, chopped fresh basil and cilantro, grated cheese (proly Dutch cheese, but I just grabbed what was in the fridge) and then... and then... *happy smirky grin* I drizzled just a bit of olive oil and lemon dressing over the top of the other stuff and folded it over. Oh My... (cough- some of these flavors aren't exactly used to meeting in the same dish...but they got along just fine!) ;)

Sharon A and I went out for lunch awhile ago... dessert was this: crepe with a scoop of ice cream, folded over and deep fried then drizzled with strawberry sauce... and the garnish at the back? Wow- was that nice- slice of green apple, slice of kiwi, slice of banana, bit of strawberry sauce with sprig of sweet fresh mint. Finishing with the mint was really really nice!
the 'before' shot of my new favorite roast- did I do this already? Yes- here pork chop done in a bit of butter with olive oil (not much of each), sprinkled with French herbs, salt and pepper; just before it's finished, put coarsely chopped fresh basil on. Carrots done in the pan with the chops. When everything's cooked, remove the food then add a spoonful (for a single serving) of water to the pan- just enough to get the juices and herbs that are on the bottom of the pan. Scrape around and stir then pour over the meat and veggies.

and this! When your friends go to Italy, have them bring back fresh Parmesan... I did... it's Nummeeeeeeeeee
