Recent Delights Vol. 10. I just keep shooting my lunch.

Linguine with local tomato and zucchini with some chorizo sausage, hot pepper flakes and romano cheese.  A very summery pasta.  Local tomatoes are looking great right now and a lot more veggies are showing up at local farmer’s markets.  It’s the most happiest time of the year.

It’s not often I post pics of food I didn’t assemble myself but this is definitely worth a mention.  Clams and a side salad from Ye Olde Towne Pub in Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, one of my favourite resto-pubs anywhere.   Combined with the Boardwalk Cafe in Digby, it’s well worth a trip over to the Annapolis Valley for some great food.  Plus my parents live there but whatevs.

Wolfhead Smokers Smoked Salmon on homemade toasts (my own hamburger buns that were left over from the day before) with goat cheese spread and capers, served with a side salad of mesculin greens with local strawberries and a raspberry vinaigrette.  I didn’t aim to get all fancy, it just kind of happened.

The first of the local Jemseg strawberries.  So gobbly good.  We’ve eaten so many pints we’re all red in the face.

Steak and egg.  Leftover steak is great for breakfast.  It’s the new leftover pizza.  Or something.

A plate of nachos with chorizo sausage, red bell peppers, black olives, melted cheddar, fresh salsa and hot sauce that’s the size of a dinner plate? Okay!

Pornography.  I’m as offended as you are.  Okay, maybe less, but still.

Dry aged steak the size of a dinner plate? Okay!

Shrimp and vegetable skewers.   Just season with olive oil, salt and pepper and grill, then hit them with fresh lemon when they’re done.  Even a cave man could do it, and they’re total idiots with lots of hair.
