Brunch & Dinner - Palm Springs style

Brunch: Lobster Roll

I have a recipe for a delicious lobster roll so when I saw it on the menu at Jake's I had to try it. The recipe I have is very easy and very good and one I made a couple of times last summer. I have been thinking about it recently and wished it was a little warmer back home so we could eat it out on the deck. 

I was a little disappointed when this first arrived because of all the mayonnaise. My version involves lemon, butter & chives. While this one wasn't as bad as it looked I still prefer mine. The redeeming aspect of the sandwich was the tomato which tasted like it had just been picked.

 

Eric may have had basil pesto bacon. I was slightly jealous.


Dinner: BBQ Pizza

We went to Bill's Pizza for dinner and I had an extremely delicious BBQ pizza. The ingredients were: BBQ Sauce, mozzarella cheese, chicken, sliced tomato, fresh jalapeño, pineapple, red onion & fresh cilantro. I am a sucker for BBQ sauce on pizza and I was completely sold on the idea of having fresh jalapeño on top. I have a pizza I like to make using Boboli at home that has pineapple, garlic, turkey bacon and is topped with fresh arugula and this meal made me realize I will be making that really soon. Yum!
