What did you cook or eat today (April 2025)?

Yesterdays linner. Which we were lucky to get!
The prawns were enormous and had to be bought. The avocados were perfect.

Basic but delicious.
Presentation went out of the window owing to us helping the Spanish drink up the beers before they all became warm during the power cut 🤣

What's the sauce please?

I have limited pantry items in my pannier so it was salt, pepper, garlic, a pinch of paprika and some mayo 👍

It worked well because the pawns were nothing short of amazing! 😊

It's nice if you want the flavour of the seafood to come through rather than have to fight a rose marie sauce for dominance. If I had the room I would have a bought a lemon, a tinsy squeeze would have been nice .
 
A cheery up treat. Fillet steak (bargain at €15.99 a kilo) with oyster n shiitake mushrooms and some epic garlic all cooked in an enormous amount of butter 😋

Asked the butcher counter for one big piece of steak and cut it in half after cooking, more rare meat and less edge for both of us! The garlic was particularly lovely.

I also like the addition of rosemary I picked on the way back. They seem to be rosemary mad in this town, it's everywhere!

Rosemary is planted as an ornament around here so buying it dried is silly. Pull over and pick!
 
I had some smoked turkey bones in the crockpot that had a good bit of meat on them; just deboned them. I'll make a nice soup out of that for lunch sometime soon.

I had the last of the Chipotle chicken bowl (about 7 bites) with some lime and salt tortilla chips for breakfast at around 4. I am going to make a seafood pasta dish for dinner I think. I was going to go get some sushi takeout for tonight, but my throat has been scratchy all day and I just don't feel like going anywhere. I chose to not go to work because of that, which is fine since this round of the project doesn't deadline until Monday. Also the sushi restaurant was closed yesterday, so tonight (Tuesday) sushi isn't likely as fresh as it could be. Probably wait until Friday for that. Still will be takeout, though, as I doubt DH will be able to walk well enough just yet.
 
Left oversweet & sour prawns with fried rice.
I made my own sweet & sour with some ketchup, white vinegar, sugar, ginger and a couple of chopped up gherkins, then added a handful of bean sprouts to the rice.
Hit the spot!
