Nice, Mexican food is something I miss here in Europe. I did go to a very good family place over the holidays when visiting family in Queens.

A personal take on ‘pork & beans’ for dinner yesterday — pork loin chop and mixed beans (from a dried 12-bean mix) — at the table, a honey/garlic bbq sauce for the chop, and brown cane sugar for the beans.
What kinds of fish? Looks like shrimp in the bottom one, but the others?
Dinner a couple nights ago...

Yesterday's dinner - homemade soup - with a previously made, all vegetable stock as base. A variety of fresh vegetable parts were used in making the stock - mostly ‘ends’ and parts of stems that are often discarded. For the soup, added dried split green peas, pot barley, and bean curd. And once the dried ingredients were almost fully fully-cooked, added canned flaked tuna to the mix.
Was very happy with my stock — a first-time attempt with a veggie stock, and it was very flavourful. Glad I prepared several containers worth at the time - have more for some future soups or other creations.

Tuscan Kale soup with fennel sausage white beans, and potatoes.
Found a interesting recipe that cooks the kale 3 ways. Stalks get diced up, and go in with the onions sausage, and potatoes. They cook for the whole hour or so. Half the leaves then get roasted with EVOO and sea salt for kale chips, and finally the rest of the leaves go into the soup for the final 6 minutes of cooking to maintain body.
Really elevated the dish to have the different textures.

Smoked a pork butt overnight on the Big Green Egg, peach smoke. Put half of it in the freezer, diced the rest and made green chile stew. Didn't know we had a storm blowing in this morning, perfect dish for a cold rainy day.
.. my past Sunday dinner -- pan-fried, baby cuttlefish (bought frozen), stewed, fresh Roma tomatoes, spaghetti pasta, and steamed, fresh broccoli -- added a touch of bottled, medium salsa to the tomatoes and served the mix on top of the pasta, along with a sprinkle of fresh, green onion as a garnish, and a little additional colour. I prepared an overly-large total portion, so I could have a 'meal size' leftover to put in the fridge, and reheat/enjoy for Monday's dinner. Much-enjoyed. Plan to curry the next batch of cuttlefish I prepare. (photos - baby cuttlefish thawed and in the pan, meal prepared & served, leftovers from total preparation for the fridge)
Breakfast yesterday...
Homemade toasted Sourdough bread/layer of Tillamook Extra Sharp White Cheddar, Blue Circle Norwegian Smoked Salmon, Thinly sliced English cucumber, Tomato

... homemade 'pork and beans' for dinner yesterday -- prepared with dried kidney beans (two colours), pork (from previously frozen, uncooked pork shoulder roast), veggies and condiments (diced broccoili stem, green onion stem, tomato, and garlic). Made a generous amount to provide leftovers for future meals. Very flavourful and tasty result. Photo shows one serving.

For SB yesterday I did 2 Philly inspired sandwiches.
One was Italian. Went to the Italian market for 5 different meats, Prosciutto, Capocollo, Mortadella, salami, and pepperoni all sliced paper thin. Paired that with the shops house made mozzarella, with boars head sandwich oil, and a citrus balsamic reduction.
Second was a often slept on Philly staple the roast pork sandwich. For this you roast pork shoulder in a rub of herbs, and crushed fennel seeds for a few hours, then slowly simmer for a few more hours in broth. This is served juicy on bread with provolone cheese topped with sauteed broccoli rabe, and pickled peppers.
The homage to hoagies seems to have paid off for us Philly fans.

Made a stab at homemade Roggenbrot. Loaf on right used viscous buttermilk so didn't rise well.
Tried agin using Bob's Redmill dried buttermilk in water. A bit better but guess it will never rise as much as a honey white loaf.
