What did you cook/eat today (April 2017)?

[Morning Glory]

I am deeply envious of your wild garlic. Tried to grow some last year but our garden doesn't have an area damp or shady enough, so it didn't survive!

Can't you forage some? There have been loads of them here.

I am thinking about doing some paintings based on food I photographed. Only 'thinking' mind you!

Go for it! ...maybe a food art thread coming along any second...

I have no space to do it - I would need a studio. I really don't think it will happen. I have in mind large canvases you see. I was originally a painter at Art College - but diverted into film-making. I am off topic. Time for @creative to start a new thread on our hidden talents...?

We planted it in to spots, one it thrived, the other it really didn't like at all.

Fry meatballs. Remove and add flour to the pan. Cook the flour for a few minutes in the fat which remains in the pan. Add beef stock and some milk. It is I believe, the way they make it in Sweden.

What type of meat did you use?

It was pork - traditional in Swedish meatballs. But you could use a mix of meats.

Today we went to Kermit for chimichangas and jalapeño cheese corndogs.

Hot dogs after my boy's rugby game this afternoon for lunch. It's nice that a few of the parents from our team bring something each week for both teams to munch on after beating each other up on the field.

And in a little while, pizza and baby arrugula salads for dinner.

I have done that most years - a golf course I use sometimes has a huge crop growing on a shaded riverbank, but I haven't managed to get there this year. My golf bag and my car would stink of the stuff for days afterwards! I was horrified to see the price of pots of wild garlic for sale at a local farm shop last week - £7.50!

I had a plate of the extremely spicy chili this afternoon with French bread. But I shall await the "What did you cook/eat today - May to post a picture.

Mod Edit:

I have now closed this thread. I believe that there is a May thread available. Please use that for anymore discussion and what you cooked/ate today...
