Dinner in the sun at our camping Chalet. Made it myself, restaurants will come tomorrow etc.

Cheese skirt? Looks yummy!

Kind of..... I assembled the sandwich and used my creme brulee torch to mold the cheese over top, because there was no way to take residual heat to melt the cheese on these sandwichs, so I had to improvise.

Kind of..... I assembled the sandwich and used my creme brulee torch to mold the cheese over top, because there was no way to take residual heat to melt the cheese on these sandwichs, so I had to improvise.

I make mine using a small white round cup that's the size of an English muffin. I spray the inside of the cup with oil, put the egg and a few drops of cream in, scramble, and microwave for about 30 seconds until the eggs are about half cooked, then add a slice of cheese on top. I microwave for another 30 seconds (every microwave is different so some might only need 15-20 seconds for each increment) and the cheese is melted. Scoop the egg out of the cup onto the toasted muffin and voila! This pic is from 2021. That muffin is close to being in a SatNavSaysStraightOn's no-no territory of being overtoasted (not quite burnt though).

I've been up since 5am. Bloody cramp in one leg. Now 7 am so nothing as yet.
When the kommandant wakes up it will be crumpets and a cuppa
Tea is Sunday and 20c degrees so I'm going with lamb chop casserole, mash spuds, mash swede,carrots and cabbage. I bought chops yesterday.
One of my family's favorite meals. Daughter is bringing her banana loaf

Did some Syracuse salt potatoes, with melted butter for dipping. Also some leftover roast beef with mushroom gravy.
Tasty!

That happens to me sometimes as well. Same reaction, except my wife calls the police.

Did some Syracuse salt potatoes,

That sounds interesting! Is that something like a Canary Islands recipe called "papas arrugadas (wrinkled potatoes) "?

 

[teamfat]

Exactly like papas arrugadas, except dipped in melted butter when eating instead of red salsa. I don't think the Irish coal miners in Syracuse had much salsa available.

I had leftover potatoes, heated them up, served with a pistachio stuffed pork tenderloin.

TastyReuben your wait is over, it's cooled, cut, nommed ... ngl, I want another slice

Chocolate tart, no butter or double cream (cos cooking for me)
Pastry is semi-sweetened and flavoured with vanilla
Decorations are white chocolate stars

 

[AdaptAndAchieve]

Virtually all online info on oil pastry will tell you you can't roll it, or if you do you need to roll it between 2 sheets of baking parchement in order to succeed and to transfer it to the pan.

I can categorically state if you get ratio's right, this is not so. So yup, people watching cholesterol can have their pastry and eat it .. and roll it

I've found low fat and no fat, 1% or less, cacao powder but they're pretty shiny expensive.
