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

Like photo number 1 that shows a variety of kebabs, but Photo number 2 for the arrangement in the 1st photograph. Probably same ..

Tomato, chicken, mushroom, red pepper, etcetra .. I like the alternative colors ..

A question. I prepared each of the foodstuffs for the kebabs and each was in a separate dish/bowl. My wife put the items on the bamboo sticks because she is more adept than I at such procedures.

If I had skewered them myself they would have been symmetrical, i.e. onion, chicken, pepper, mushroom, tomato and repeat. Each one the same.

How would you have done it?

[I appreciate that it doesn't make the slightest difference].

Symmetrical.

Stuffed chicken with Asiago and guancale...risotto, green beans

That looks fantastic. I'm going to try something similar tonight.

Symmetrical

My Honey is hunting so I will treat myself to Fondant Potatoes, pan seared ground beef pattie, with the last of the lettuce and cucumber from the garden. I have a lot of green tomatoes that will not have time or enough heat to ripen. So fried green tomatoes with an over easy egg for lunch.

Symmetrical - I'm the queen of fussy.

I scored some cheap kifler potatoes yesterday and happen to have some frozen duck fat so I want to build a dinner around those things.

I've been depleting the freezer in readiness for Xmas so I'm not sure what's in there exactly.

Fried Green Tomatoes New Orleans or Louisana style, I have seen in Food and Wine, Saveur and Bon Appetit Magazines on line ..

These sound quite interesting ..

Symmetrical - it's the draughtswoman in me

BLT for lunch - not toasted. Dinner will probably be something from the freezer.

Dinner was a thick spicy vegetable stew (potatoes, green peppers, onions, tomatoes, aubergine and plenty of garlic) with a thick chunk of bread, followed by rice pudding.

A little drab today, not very colourfull.

Bacon, poached eggs, mushrooms and dipped bread.

 

[Herbie]

@Yorky Your poached eggs always look amazing. By 'dipped bread' do you mean popped in the pan to soak up the bacon fat?

By 'dipped bread' do you mean popped in the pan to soak up the bacon fat?

Yes. As distinct from fried bread. There was no other fat/oil in the wok other than bacon fat.

Today we are headed to Gerona, 1 hour north of Barcelona, to do some Christmas Shopping and shall have lunch on a car free cobblestone narrow Street in the historic district .. We plan to share a traditional Paella Fideuà Marinara ( a noodle Paella with shellfish only ) ..

@Yorky Your poached eggs always look amazing.

I can take no credit for the eggs. All credit must go to the ducks.

I have a Paint Date with my Niece(Middle Sister's daughter) this afternoon. My niece was born with Cerebral Palsy and has been confined to a wheel chair her entire life. In spite of her disability she is a wonderful artist - abstract. For a snack while we paint I am bringing the fixings for fried green tomatoes - Sis and Niece both love them but don't make them.

We were busy again yesterday and were not free until 7pm. I made two daals (red lentil and chickpea) and fennel rice. Had a box of ready made poppadoms too.
I cooked the dishes in 40 minutes. The leftovers today are much better but it was a quick tasty meal last night.
