What did you cook/eat today (February 2018)?

[ElizabethB]

I finally managed to get the pictures from Friday's dinner.

Chicken and artichoke stuffed boneless chicken.

With Sweet and Savory Baked Sweet Potato Fries

With a salad

The chicken was drizzled with pan drippings.

Don't get excited - I did not bone and stuff a chicken. The family owned market just down the road prepares oven ready boned, stuffed chickens. An assortment of stuffing. The spinach and artichoke is our favorite. 1 hour and 15 minutes in a 375 degree F oven and dinner is served.

Looks scrummy! I like that salad too. Can you tell me, are you using your new Samsung phone camera set to maximum picture size?

I made @Duck's entry for the recipe challenge: Rummaniyeh (Palestinian lentil, aubergine and pomegranate stew). In retrospect I'm sure it should not look like this! It should have more of a stew like consistency.

Mouth watering. Love the plate.

IDK - I may PM you later for instructions. Ready to start my bread and my whatever you want to call them dumpling things.

New (designer) plate! I indulge myself and only buy one just for food photos - not much use for a dinner party!

Your stuffed roasted chicken looks wonderfully Mediterranean ..

Great vivid colour!

The original wasn't bad but on that one I notched up the contrast a tad. Oh, and I had the polariser fitted.

Artchokes grow all over the place though - I can grow them in my garden. And in the USA, I've learned (courtesy of Wiki) California provides nearly 100% of the U.S. crop, and about 80% of that is grown in Monterey County; there, Castroville proclaims itself to be "The Artichoke Center of the World", and holds the annual Castroville Artichoke Festival!

Interestingly though (I've only recently learned this from following @ElizabethB 's posts), Cajun food has its roots in French food.

There are lots of delicious mediterranean artichoke dishes, of course. There are also some lovely Iranian artichoke dishes which I looked at not long ago when researching for challenge on another forum.

I just found out I'm getting off late tonight and that we will be keeping out 2 year old grandson, and his 3.5 year old half brother. Wife texted me and said that she will be bringing home frozen pizzas for dinner
