Recently I tried Greek salmon. I should have gotten a picture. It came with pita bread and Greek salad with lots of olives, fresh tomato and feta cheese. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-pics-32#post-2118453 Tue, 05 May 2020 09:01:53 +0000 anne 2118453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Found on my camera roll. Toasted sandwich with chicken, sage cranberry sauce, cheese and spring onion. Extra sage on the outside. </p> <p>Less exciting was my foray into traditional Australian curried sausages! Not too bad, but won't repeat any time soon. Reminded me of my grandparents. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-pics-32#post-2118391 Mon, 04 May 2020 23:53:10 +0000 Anonymous 2118391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yesterday's concoction: red quinoa, portabellas, peppers, kalamata olives, shredded carrots, Greek dressing, feta, and basil and rosemary from my back porch garden </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-pics-32#post-2118219 Sun, 03 May 2020 21:03:40 +0000 Carla 2118219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy &nbsp;Birthday to Mr. J! &nbsp;I commend his choice! &nbsp;Beautiful pie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-pics-32#post-2118214 Sun, 03 May 2020 20:30:28 +0000 JAileen 2118214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rhubarb pie for my husband’s birthday cake. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-pics-32#post-2117884 Fri, 01 May 2020 18:01:53 +0000 Carla 2117884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YOU CAN DO IT, NM!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-pics-32#post-2117866 Fri, 01 May 2020 15:45:40 +0000 nemosmom 2117866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carla - I am trying your biscuit recipe this weekend!

Lots of walking and running, and we’ve both lost a couple-three pounds. We haven’t gone out for carry-out once since early March. </p> <p>Some recent meals. Easter breakfast was eggs on toasted bun with aioli, spinach, tomato and copa (like prosciutto). Chicken stir fry, potato soup, homemade pizza, Italian sausage and polenta, coleslaw and other salads, chicken enchilada casserole. I’ve made brown bread, pizza crust, hamburger buns, and English muffin bread to stretch the store bread supply. And new placemats finished yesterday!</p> </div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/food-pics-32#post-2115946 Thu, 23 Apr 2020 01:57:50 +0000 Anonymous 2115946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yum .
