This is an entirely new concept to me! The only recipe I can think of using cooked grapes is Sole Véronique. How intriguing.
What did you cook/eat today (October 2017)?

If I squint really hard, I can imagine that the cauliflower is really chicken. 
Grapes are wonderful if they are roasted, too. A great accompaniment to a pork roast or roast chicken.
Ages ago, before kids and when hubby traveled often, an unmarried coworker (who was friends with my also-unmarried aunt) decided she needed to take me to fine restaurants. Needless to say, I did not refuse Bernice's "adopting" me. One of those restaurants had sauteed green grapes with almond slices as a side to a flounder dish. I was gobsmacked, because I had never seen a fruit used in place of a vegetable as a side dish.

Don't rub it in.

I heated up some of the leftover stuffed cabbage for our dinner tonight. Like soups and stews, those are always better the next day. Added some mashed potatoes and cooked some frozen haricot vert and called it a very good supper.

However, I do remember making a spicy pork salad based upon a beef dish that I'd eaten in a restaurant. It was a while ago and obviously wasn't that good because I've not made another. Maybe I'll revisit the recipe with a view to making a few amendments?

I've found the recipe and even an image.
I can only imagine that I had nothing better to do at the time given the list of ingredients.

That looks so good.
We are in our van so cooking is limited (esp. in winter when outdoor cooking is a no-no).

Sometimes I cook the best things with limited resources and ingredients. I rather like being limited as it means being more creative.
