What did you cook or eat today (August 2019)?

one garlic lays

What's a garlic lay...? Sorry if it was a typo. I wasn't sure.

 

[TastyReuben]

I had a bowl of red, white, and blue Rice Krispies (bought during July, hence all the food dye) with some raisins added.

BLT and fried potatoes.

Crawfish shrimp and cheesy grits. Sharp cheddar in the grits. Red, yellow and green bell peppers, onions, garlic, homemade andouille, bacon, butter and seafood stock, and crawfish obviously.

Looks great - did you make stock from the crawfish shells? I mage some prawn stock the other day from the red shrimp shells and heads. Its amazing the depth of flavour that can come from something many folk would throw away.

No since they were already cooked. We talked about it, but decided they wouldn't give up much flavor, so we bought some seafood stock. Normally though I do use raw shells to make stock.

I used the shells and heads of the shrimp cooked 'shell on' in mine and it was great - plenty of flavour. I've done that many times. With lobster and crab too.

So what's in the omelette?

 

[The Late Night Gourmet]

Ceviche Tacos. They're pretty, and also incredibly healthy: the tortillas are cut from ultra low calorie Ole tortillas (50 calories for a 45g tortilla; one of them made 3 of these little ones).

Very pretty!

I rarely get all four burners and the oven going at the same time, but chicken parm, steamed broccoli, and reheated focaccia dictated it.

Chicken salad using the leftover grilled spatchcocked chicken Craig cooked Sunday. He had his on buns. I had mine on avocado halves.

That really does look absolutely delicious. Although I have to say I wouldn't be able to eat so much food at one sitting! Home made focaccia?

Had a serving with rice of this very simple, four ingredient, retro slow cooked apricot chicken. Reminds me of growing up in the 70's. As discussed in this thread: https://www.cookingbites.com/threads/chicken-liver-pate.15902/

Basically just chicken, onion, a packet of dried French onion soup, and a tin of apricots.
