What did you cook or eat today (April 2024)?

[badjak]

Is that a wooden bowl? I love those, where did you get those? I want to try and get some.

Eish,
I've had it forever.
Bought on the side of the road or a market. It's probably a salad bowl or a fruit bowl.

At home, we also had wooden bowls. They were for the weekend when we could eat in the living room with a plate on our lap.
And for when dad cooked Indonesian.
Those were much bigger than this one though

I made Thai green curry and added a little too much coloring accidentally

Well no-one can fault you for calling it green

Some eggs for egg and cress sandwiches later

Used the egg steamer because 18 eggs is too many to fit in the pressure cooker.
Even with my nifty egg peeler thing and using old eggs (went passed their use by date a month ago) they were hard going to peel.

Next time I’ll pressure cook them in two lots, LissaC ’s method in the pressure cooker makes them way way easier to peel.

Egg ready and waiting to be lathered on some nice bread and sprinkled with cress.

St. Patrick Day (which you don't celebrate) was in March lol.

@Herbaceous’ Peanut and ginger chicken recipe.

Very nice. Will make it again.
Only problem I had was doubling the chicken doubled the amount of fluid the chicken gave off, so it was a bit runnier than I anticipated.
I used spicy salsa and loved the little bit of heat it gave so I might spice it up a bit more next time.

It was very handy because today is dog grooming day and you can’t stop to cook, well you can but it’s not fair on the dogs, you put them down, they’re happy you’ve finished de-matting them and then you take there happy faces and waggytails and put them back on the grooming table, they have a powerful stink eye!!

I’m so glad you liked it! It’s one of my favourite slow cooker recipes.

We very much did. I find slow cooker chicken while tender can sometimes be dry where all the fat renders down but I think the peanut butter for the sauce made up for that very well. I’ll defo be doing it again

I love it when forum members make recipes posted here!

Between the Fourth be With You and Cinco De Mayo I am going to be a bit tipsy for a few days.

Snack, along with fruit-filled glass of moscato:

I’d never heard of Cinco De Mayo, had to look it up, I like your style!

It’s a lot like St. Pat’s Day - a day devoted to drinking and eating.

It's really funny because it's supposed to be a Mexican holiday but we gringos in the US celebrate it, Mexicans pretty much don't.

That is unusual, celebrating another country’s holiday that they themselves don’t bother with
