What did you cook/eat today (June 2017)

[MypinchofItaly]

Lovely. I like the use of celery leaves. Here, most people throw them away!

Also here. But my dad is from Puglia, a very famous region for the vegetables and the manner of cooking them. My grandmother prepared this when I was a child and so my dad. My husband don't like it so much. It's a strange taste, I don't mind it. But in Puglia this sauce is fantastic. They use fresh tomatoes instead of tomato sauce as I did...well, the taste with fresh tomatoes is the best.

I am yet to attempt traditional Melton Mowbray style pork pie. It could be a contender for the Cookalong but perhaps its a but 'Brit niche'. What I'm really wanting to see is it cut open! Would you care to post the recipe...?

Fantastic! Really... what did you put in the filling? Have you got a bamboo work surface like me (it looks a bit similar)?

Hey I think we just found a winter cookalong. I know @Chief Longwind makes chili. @The Late Night Gourmet loves spicy foods.
What do you say?

But it is winter... Too darn cold to stay out of bed long I at night now. Yesterday didn't make it into double figures... a nice warm winter meal is on the books for tomorrow!

You seem to eat a lot of cabbage (or am I imagining it?).

Yes, we do. Although in this case, it is what is left over from last night. Took less than half a head of cabbage for the cabbage rolls. Very bland too. We also do potatoes quite a bit.

Ok:
400g pork shoulder, coarsly minced.
55g belly pork, finely minced.
55g unsmoked bacon, coarsly minced.
1 teaspoon each of allspice, nutmeg, celery salt, garlic powder.
Salt & pepper.

Yes, it is a bamboo worktop, and a bamboo chopping board!

Thanks! The bamboo looks good I think - I have a bamboo floor too.

Tonight dinner was the rest of the lasagne and the wine. Seeing as there was more than half a bottle left,, I had a bowl of semolina to mop it up.

Cabbage is very healthy

Indeed it is. I like it very much.

3rd day of fish at my wife's request.

I made swordfish wraps tonight.

They were a soft flour tortilla topped with homemade pico de gallo, homemade wasabi mayo, homemade guacamole, and strips of grilled swordfish.

We had fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, and cream style corn.
