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

[Lullabelle]

Wow! That is huge! What are the meaty things encased in pastry on the left? And what are the pies on the right? And did you eat it all?

The meaty things on the left is a sausage roll cut in half, there were 3 small pork pies, bread, ham, cheese, pickled onions, bread, salad. We didn't eat it all.

Mom had a hair appointment so we had brunch at McDonalds after we got through - sausage & egg mcgriddle, hash browns, and coffee for me. She had a sausage & egg biscuit with mayo & tomato, an apple turnover, and diet mt. dew.

Seeing the pix of corn made me wonder....
Here in Texas you cannot take a country drive and not stumble across people selling produce (and wrought iron yard decos smuggled from Mexico ;-) from the back of their trucks... is this allowed in other places?

There are a lot of farms round here that have farm shops, but some people sell eggs, honey, fruit, veg, even animals at their gate. I keep meaning to stop at one on the way to/from the park where I take the mutt, but it is either too early, or I forget! It must be 50 years since I've seen someone selling produce from a truck.

Sorry! If I'd been out and about, I'd have polished that lot off on my own

That sounds so exotic to me! I will need to look up Kamut.

Yes...a wheat grain...very tasty...have to cook like wild rice...45 mins +/- in boiling water.

Quick fry up tonight. And, more corn...Panko crusted zucchini sticks and coconut shrimp..and, a locally made Thai style sweet chili sauce...

I've seen the same thing in south-central Massachusetts (sans the wrought iron), along with little "shed" farm stands out near the road. Ohio is littered with those small household stands, too.


Dinner on Thursday was patty melt with an overabundance of caramelized onions and Fontina cheese (you can see a puddle of overflow in the lower-left of the plate), me-made pickles, deviled eggs, and corn-and-tomato salad with Feta cheese.

Friday night we had Breakfast for Supper. Mushroom omelet with the last of the Fontina (have to clean up before vacay), fried potato cubes, sweet apple sausages, and a side of fruit salad (cherries, blueberries, nectarine, orange).

Note to self: Don't cut the sausages in half - they curl up like big bugs...

I reverted to the packet mix for our char sui (moo daeng) this evening. It's not laziness it's just that I've failed to produce a marinade which is even half as good from scratch.

Fry-up brunch - Bubble and squeak, bacon, egg, tomatoes, black pudding. I hasten to add that I cooked this for my friend (where I am staying). I was ever so good and just had a piece of toast! He had to go and lie down afterwards. I can recommend this black pudding. Its a brand I've not used before and I reckon its the best I've ever tasted.

And for those of us with the 'egg bleed' fetish:

I love your brunch! Very very delicious.

Saturday night was pizza night! It was about 13" across and all mine - except for the bit in the front with the ends of the tomatoes on and no onion, which was for my canine friend The cheese was a mix of grated extra mature Cheddar and grated Stilton.

The black pudding is very black @morning glory . I don't think I've ever seen black pudding as black as that. Even the white bits are black!
