My Everyday Life: Week 5

Here’s what this week looked like:

Still testing out the Fujifilm X100S (rented from Borrow Lenses)

Taken with my iPhone:

Taken with the Fuji. I’m really enjoying the quality and it’s been easy to pop into my purse.

I’ve been looking at this camera because I want to play around more with fixed lenses.

I always think of the joke by Mitch Hedberg Double Tree joke when I see two trees together.

Winter shadows.

Those sliders I made were bomb dot com.

Meal prep this week included tuna salad, butternut squash soup, roasted broccoli, caesar salad prep and a reset button salad situation.

Greek Lamb Sliders

Here’s a contender for your Super Bowl party. Greek Lamb Sliders!

We make a lemon/herb feta spread, a Greek Salad Relish and char some lamb burgers and sandwich it a lllll together to make a cute little slider. That means you can totally have two…or three…

It like a gyro meets burger and it’s freaking delicious. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a game to not watch and some sliders to scarf down.

Smoked Salmon Ramen

I find the most food inspiration when someone else cooks for me. That’s why I love going to my friend Leslie’s house. She’s beyond confident in the kitchen and she always comes up with such amazing combinations out of the most modest ingredients. It feels like a real treat; she makes me always feel welcome. She also introduced me to the hot smoked sockeye salmon from Trader Joe’s and I’m forever grateful.

She made me smoked salmon ramen back in December and I was instantly hooked. It takes a tiny bit of finesse to get the egg just right but on my second attempt, it was absolute perfection.

Just a few additions can really enhance a package of ramen. Spinach, smoked salmon, a little bit of sea kelp seasoning (or furikake if you have it) and a runny egg makes for a wonderfully quick meal– perfect for Mondays! You’re just three minutes away from deliciousness. Promise me you’ll add sriracha?
