Lentil soup and bread

This is a variation on mulligatawny. I had a pork steak bone in the freezer I needed to use so I seared it up and built the rest around the drippings and bones.

I went to puree this and my immersion blender died. 20 years of service. Time to do some research.

Cost per person: $2.35 Cost per person after replacing immersion blender: $12.35?

Bean salad and shiitake sandwich

You have seen the bean salad before. Cost per person $1.38

Sandwich: homemade bread grilled on both sides with mayo, turnip greens from my garden that wilted, rehydrated shiitake mushrooms I toasted, salt, capers, lemon juice, olive oil, and a bit of smoked jack cheese. Cost per person $1.8

The sandwich was an improvised experiment and it is awesome.

Tuna melt, mise en comments

I usually say what is in my tuna melts but never show it. I add a lot of pickled goods to bring enough acid to the party to brighten up the tuna, mayo and cheese. Common pickled items are gardenaera, relish, pepperoncini, jalapenos, capers, etc. and not a small amount of it. More than you think is right.

Topped with smoked jack cheese.

Do not let your wife pick the sidedish if she believes side dishes aren't needed. You will end up with dill pickle puffs.

Cost per person $3.87 Actually $2.43 because I got the tuna for free.

Inktober, mystical

Otzi the Iceman had 61 tattoos. Most of them took the form of lines at various points on his body. Here I have used myself as the canvas for two of them. One on his left wrist and one on his left lower ribs. This is fitting because these tattoos were on spots that even thousands of years later we can tell he had medical issues with and my lower left ribs have been broken and bruised a number of times.

6'2" flesh canvas, Micron 10 pen.

Inktober, flightless

By the time the mesolithic was in gear ostriches were mostly the only big flightless birds around for people to encounter. The southern tip of South America had a special treat though. The last of the terror birds (phorusrhacid) lived there until a little under 12,000 years ago. 10 feet tall and instant death to any human who might have made it to the end of the world that is Patagonia at the time.
