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

Mixed bean salad with red onion, tomato, parsley, avocado and watercress. Its all vegan in this neck of the woods.

You're proper American aren't you.

You're proper American aren't you.

I must say this is the first time I have ever been called proper.
Born and bred Texan. American second.

Friday night's dinner was leftovers night. Some leftover stuffed cabbage leaves fried, leftover rice, and leftover potato filling from the cabbage leaves made into potato cakes and fried, with the last knockings of a thinly sliced red romano pepper scattered over the top. Followed by blackberries and yoghurt, of course.

My sympathies to you, my dear. If it's any consolation, the dish looks lovely and colorful.

Hot weather calls for cool foods in our house. Hubby had grilled a tuna steak when he did the hot dogs on Wednesday, so I chunked that up on top of a very veggie salad. Trust me when I say there really was a bed of greens underneath all of that good stuff.

A much-later dessert was fresh cantaloupe with a bit of vanilla ice cream.

 

[Yorky]

Roast beef, horseradish and tomato sarnie (and there's some lettuce in there somewhere).

I had an afternoon to kill, so I made Chicken Florentine and riced, buttered potatoes.

Looks great, but why are you killing afternoons?

Quick supper of ham and beans. I bought a half of a ham, the shank portion, and had the butcher cut a thick steak before wrapping it up. I cooked the ham in my big saute pan, adding about 1 1/2 pounds of fresh green beans. We don't usually eat limp beans, but there is something special about long cooking them with ham that makes them so smoky and salty. Left lots of ham - finished the beans.

I heard someone say it was Sunda. So I warmed some roast beef to have with roast potatoes and a few peas. Unfortunately, no Yorkshire puddings.

 

[Frizz1974]

Roast pork
Roast carrot, potato, cauli, pumpkin
Steamed beans, zucchini & broccoli
Thyme & onion pan gravy

Crackling.

I've not exactly been banned from the kitchen this past week, but Mrs. E had commented that I had kind of taken over the kitchen of late, and become just a little bit obsessive about cooking. Anyway, to redress the balance, she undertook to cook for the week, which actually suited me as I was rather busy with work stuff. Despite the fact that she has cooked up some marvellous food I have been getting withdrawal symptoms. I did make the occasional foray into the kitchen, being unable to resist the odd prod and poke at whatever she was cooking, but good sense prevented me from coming out with "no, you don't want to do it like that, you want to do it like this.." Actually, it was less to do with good sense and more to do with steely looks that could have stopped a raging elephant at fifty paces.

Anyway, my week off culminated yesterday in a splendid lunch of Moules Normandes:

Last night I finally got back into the kitchen all on my own, and managed a pork tenderloin stuffed with black pudding (wrapped in bacon), and a mustard sauce. Not the prettiest dish, but it's great to be back!

Oh, that sounds so delicious!
