Sauce is still a bit thin, but too hungry to wait
The orange stuff is pickled carrot

That looks really good.

Thank you. Mashed avocado (splash lime juice, salt, and pepper) on toast with a sprinkle of Everything but the Bagel seasoning.

I thought it must be avocado but the green is so deep and intense I began to wonder. What type of avocados were they?

I’m not sure. Probably Haas. The deep, dark green, dull, bumpy ones.
NOT the bright green smooth ones.

I've used that method but with a little tea strainer with a finer mesh. I don't use the strainer to lower into the water though.

I was thinking the same, I'd put the egg in the water first. Never tried it with a strainer.

I have all my veggies prepped for chicken soup. Will chop rotisserie chicken, put it together and cook for dinner.

We went to Carrabba's last night (casual Italian) and they had their "buy a meal take one home for $10" deal. I got the chicken trio (chicken prepared 3 ways) I always get with fettuccine with 1 to bring home. DH got lobster ravioli. I've got enough precooked food to last for a few days with leftover chicken soup and Carrabba's.

Last night I had a dream about lobster.

There were three left, sitting on shaved ice where more had been, with a big for sale sign and a price that said $14 per lobster.
And one was double the size of the others, and they were large to begin with, but one of the claws was cracked and the legs broken off.
But since they were already boiled, I passed.

OK. Carry on

I ate there once. I loved the linguine with white clam sauce. They closed during COVID. No Carrabba's close to me anymore.

I would have bought one. Nothing to lose in a dream.

That's an excellent point!
Next time!

Roast potatoes, beef burger, beetroot salad, green beans and carrots

Nice crust around the outside of that burger

Was sent 10 different pdf documents to fill in averaging 18 pages per document and “Don’t worry if you’re not certain but definitely don’t respond if you’re not certain because it is legally binding”
All day on it and still only half way through it.
So in anticipation of todays legalee’s I bought ready meals. The first one had some merit (but not enough to buy it again) -

Colcannon mash, carrots and lamb with redcurrant gravy

The carrots were an absolute horror. Reminded me why some people hate carrots, the worse most overcooked canteen style carrots you could possibly endure. The colcannon mash was just passable. The lamb was excellent, go figure!

And the second was M&S gluten free spag bol. Meh.
