What did you cook/eat today (January 2020)?

Sous vide cooked lamb, under broiler when it was done. Next time, I'll shorten the cooking time a bit and set the temp a few degrees lower, but it came out so tender. Steamed, then roasted potatoes and carrots.

Cassoulet à la saucisse de Toulouse with buttered and thymed potatoes (thymed to perfection) … a good filling dinner on a cold, wet and windy evening

View attachment 36777

Looks a filling and tasty dinner indeed. And Cassoulet sounds a bit like Milanese Casseoula that involves Savoy cabbage and pork parts, sausages too. I’ll make it sooner or later, but it’s a very demanding dish - it takes almost two days cooking
 
I'm meant to make carbonara tonight, just realized I'm out of eggs, which makes me feel like I've failed at life. :(

Backup plan would be to do the meat pies and mushy peas, but I'm supposed to soak the dried peas with the little tablet for 12 hours, so I could do the pies, but not the peas...and looking at my menu, I just realized I forgot to make the street corn salad to go with the stuffed tortillas yesterday, something I frequently forget to do, so I think I'm making that, but, jeez, meat pies really need mushy peas on the side, or it's just not the same.

I use frozen or tinned peas.

I don't have either at the moment, because I was planning on using the British ones I bought from the international market.

I had decided on meat pies with creamed corn, that sort of goes together, then realized by the time I'm done with the pies, it'll be nearly 7:30 in the PM, and we don't eat that late.

Looks like burgers and fries from the local bar and grille. I'm ok with that. :)

Nothing wrong with burger and fries, in fact I will prolly be having that for dinner, wife's out, daughters out. Yum.
