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

@detroitdad
You reminded me of my lunch yesterday. G took a client out to lunch. He called and told me not to eat. He walked in with a fried oyster Po'boy.

I rarely buy lunch at work. When I do, I order the Godfather at Dibellas View attachment 13669

I would only be able to eat a quarter of that! Is it pastrami?

Genoa salami, capicola, spicy ham with all the standard toppings. Added pickles, hot peppers and spicy mustard

Turkey soup! I could just eat some of that.

Thank you. Yes - daylight makes a big difference. No blood boudin. It is has been a long time since I have seen Blood Boudin. The filling is VERY dark - much like your blood pudding. The filling is rice, ground pork, green onions and seasonings.

hank you. Yes - daylight makes a big difference

It shows. I really can't begin to tell you how much. Unless you are trained in photography and have a set of professional lights and a studio set-up, then daylight is your very best friend. Get those plates into the light (not direct sun as that causes harsh shadows) and you will produce first rate results.

That was my rant for the day. Back to food:

I thought it might be a blood pudding type sausage. Wasn't sure. It looks great and I only wish I could have a bite!

Moo daeng served (with sauce for a change).

I must remember to include larger plates on the shopping list.

Its that 'ant' acid again! Looks delicious of course. I'm wondering it the anatto/achiote I bought will achieve a similar result.

I used the packet mix again but the only addition I made was to brush the pork with a little honey about half way through the cooking process.

[Note regarding cooking with a halogen oven - no need to remove the dish from the oven - removing the halogen lid gives adequate access].
