What did you have for lunch today?

I've been on an eggs and bacon kick recently. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because the Coronavius has made me want to seek out comfort foods--things that are "safe." Anyway, I had three strips of bacan (salty and delightful), one egg (over easy), and a toasted slice of sourdough toast with butter. It was delicious. Have you been going with the "familiar" at least once a day during these difficult times? I'll probably have bacon and eggs as least once tomorrow.

I know that adobo is the Filipino standard meal. Did you have rice on the side?

@TheHorse No you cannot because the potatoes are mashed and miked to the salmon, than the patties are coated with bread crumbs and cooked in oil. Latkes are another thing, those are sort of pancakes almost identical to the Swiss Rösti.

Sounds good to me. Can I call the potato patties "latkes," since Passover is at hand?

@TheHorse We cook the raw beef for a few hours with a variety of seasonings, such as salt, soy sauce, cinnamon, cloves, and peppercorns, and so on, and then we slice it up and eat it. We can make a sauce with the mashed garlic ,vinegar and sesame oil.

I had a chicken and tomato sandwich (chicken salad with a slice of tomato) and some snap peas. I had my eggs at breakfast, and I'm saving the bacon for the weekend.

Chicken salad actually sounds good. Did you make it yourself?

@spiderdust Sounds good. What else did you put in it? I get whole roasted chickens from Safeway now and then.

@TheHorse I did. I had a cup of meat leftover from a chicken I roasted a couple of nights ago. Not quite enough for another meal, but enough for a few servings of chicken salad.

Get some boneless chicken, marinate it with honey and oyster sauce. Then you would BBQ it in your oven, toaster or airfryer.

How did you make it? That's something I shuld learn to make. Chicken soup is a comfort food for me, but I usually buy it canned or prepackaged (or get Thai chicken soup--Tom Kha Gai).

@just4him Tuna salad sounds good right now, probably because I haven't had in in awhile. Actually, I have tuna, blue cheese dressing, and some other goodies here. I could make a "creative" tuna salad if I wanted to. But I think I'm going to go for a steak sandwich.

@TheHorse No, because I don't eat bread. Not on lettuce either, though the last lettuce salad I had I put tuna in it.

For some reason those rolls never do it for me. Maybe I get confused about whether I'm eating a sandwich, a burrito, or an alien invader. Maybe if I had blue cheese dressing to dip them in...

@TheHorse it was actually just turkey and cheese, no wrap part. Lol, I was in a hurry.

I haven't had lunch yet today. Come to think of it, I haven't had breakfast yet today (I must rectify that). Yesterday, it was leftover meatloaf, cold. The day before, it was leftover meatloaf, reheated. I think it was tastier cold.

@TheHorse I can be quite clever at things like that. Around here there was a time when one baked chicken would be baked chicken the first night, chicken pot pie the second, chicken a la king, the third and soup the fourth. My parents spent their teenage years in Nazi-occupied Holland. Stretch limited food resources was an art.
